Title: OT RIP Don Leslie
Post by: Rodgre on September 07, 2004, 03:30:10 PM
The inventor of the box which we're all trying our damndest to simulate with our Univibes, Phasors, Flangers and Chorus pedals, Don Leslie, has passed away at his California home at the age of 93.

Someone on another forum already made the "he must be spinning in his grave" joke.

Here's to ya, sir!

He's probably doing a concert for God right now.  Brand-spanking NOS B-3, just uncrated today, and a bank of 147s all spinning their rotators off!

Now, THERE'S a positive "spin"  :wink:  on a negative bit of news!

Mr. Leslie, you will be missed by keyboardists and axeslingers alike.

You know what's REALLY sad about the whole thing?  The world's priorities are so seriously screwed up that I'll bet 9 in 10 people don't know who Don Leslie was!  I sure am glad I'm part of the 10% in the know...

Sorry I did not know Don personally but I was aware and have nothing but respect of his contributions to the music industry.. I am sad that all the father of the modern music industry are all passing away..

I am more sad if I pissed anybody off here..Sorry

Claus:

You didn't upset anyone at all.  We agree with you!  We all agree that the passing of Mr. Leslie is a sad thing for those of us in the know.  But it's even sadder for those who aren't in the know.  They don't know what they don't know.

That HAS to be the coffee...  I have never waxed philosophical in my life.  Holy cow, I sound like Mark Hammer or something!

my hat (actually I don't own a hat) comes off to the man who made Hendrix and others with their crazy Vibes possible! Kudos to the man who made the one thing were all trying to remake..........................rotating speaker cabitnets!!!!!

R.I.P (read RDV for the meaning)

EDIT: the most wierd thing is that I was listening to All along the Watchtower while doing this :shock: pretty freaky.
