If you haven't heard of Logan Whitehurst, in short, he was a brilliant comedy musician who passed away in 2006 at age 29 having succumbed to a brain tumor. Dr. Demento called his album “Goodbye My 4-Track” the 'Sergeant Peppers' of comedy albums. In 2010, Rob Balder founded the Logan Whitehurst Memorial Awards for Excellence in Comedy Music in his memory to help celebrate the genre we call home. At this year's Logan Awards ceremony at MarsCon 2013, the concert kicked off with a medley of Logan's most popular funny songs performed by Luke, Kyle, Ian, and Carrie. This track is the studio version of that medley, as performed by the Funny Music Project's biggest Logan Whitehurst fans (listed in order of appearance): the great Luke Ski, TV's Kyle, Insane Ian, ShoEboX of Worm Quartet, Austin Aeschliman of Smashy Claw, Tony Goldmark, Jace McClain of Nuclear Bubble Wrap, Devo Spice, Derwood Bowen, and Carrie Dahlby, with samples of Logan himself at the beginning and end of the medley. We at 'the FuMP dot com' hope you all enjoy this piece highlighting the lighter side of Logan Whitehurst's brilliant musical career, and encourage you to look up his discography online so you can get to know his music and love him as much as we do.
