The guitarist of Bill Haley & His Comets best known for their late 1954 hit song "Rock Around the Clock" has died.

Franny Beecher, guitarist for Bill Haley and the Comets, dies at age 92

I'm sure some of you heard of that song.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Franny Beecher, lead guitarist for Bill Haley and the Comets, which helped kick off the rock and roll era with the hit Rock Around the Clock in 1955, has died. He was 92.

Beecher died in his sleep Monday night at a nursing home near Philadelphia, daughter Pauline Grinstead said Tuesday.

The Comets, whose hits also included See You Later, Alligator, are credited by some music historians with having recorded the first rock and roll song in 1953 with Crazy Man, Crazy, the group's biography on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website says.

Beecher, born Francis Beecher in 1921 in Norristown, started playing guitar before crowds when he was 17 and continued until he was 90; before the Comets, he performed with Buddy Greco and Benny Goodman, Grinstead said.

"My dad didn't play music for money. He was no businessman," she said. "He played music for music."

Although Philadelphia session musician Danny Cedrone played on the original recording of Rock Around the Clock before his death in 1954, Beecher played the signature song for the first time on national television in 1955 and also played with the group in films.

Rock Around the Clock became a hit again nearly 20 years after its release when it was included on the soundtrack of American Graffiti.

Beecher left the band in 1962. Bill Haley and the Comets carried on until Haley's death in 1981. In the 1980s, Beecher and some of the original members reunited and played tour dates around the United States and internationally for years.

Grinstead said her father also is survived by two sons and six grandchildren.

Funeral arrangements were pending.

Nothing surprising. Gamers has been willingly shelling out for similar stuff already. And that's bread and butter of F2P system.

Make... make a Duke map about it!

Guanajuato Houses

Guanajuato, right? That picture reflects some common situation on Mexico (or Latin Americ), so maybe that's the reason I tend to overlook at it.

Example

When I lived at Guanajuato I was really inspired and really wanted to make a whole map about the city, especially about Mina de Rayas and it's surroundings.
