[dmio2]

@wizardeal Hey there, haven't seen you around in a while! Thanks for stopping by!

[MicheleMidnight]

[dmio2]

@MicheleMidnight Thanks for stopping by, Michele. I know what you mean... keeping up on youtube shares could be a full time job. hope all is well with you.

[diamondkutz54]

I like it man. Great bass line.

[dmio2]

@diamondkutz54 Thanks for checking it out & commenting.

[fingercheese]

Man this is funky...totally diggin man....got gets me to funk ave....is it anywhere near muncie In....cuz Im gonna be out that way man....and its kind of centrally located...think Im gonna set out and meet some folks this summer....your songs always remind me of Frank man...and Zappa is in my top 5 for sure....if I was to have to make such a list....

[dmio2]

@fingercheese As a matter of fact, I have been listening to Zappa lately.... "She lives in mojave in a winnebago..."

To be honest, it turns out Funk Ave isn't nearly as hip a place as the song lets on. I don't think I'd make destination or anything. Of course if you're in the neighborhood I can mix you one of those Mt Dew drinks. Thanks for listening.

[dmio2]

@Hippie1944 Hi Hippie, thanks for listening!

[inkkblot]

[TheLowLifeGang]

[dmio2]

Hey MD. I haven't had a drink since breakfast.

[pseudosun]

That was fun to watch and listen to. If you played all instruments, that's impressive bro.

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening pseudo, I can't play drums (the computer does that), but the rest is all me. I bought some congas last year... I guess I thought I'd magically be able to play them lol.

[welkflingers]

Good work 5/5

[dmio2]

@welkflingers thanks for listening!

[projektor4]

a cool song with great lyrics *****

not far from where i used to live is a street named Electric Avenue, i doubt if Eddie Grant ever set foot in it

[dmio2]

@projektor4 Thanks for listening! I couldn't get "Electric Avenue" out of my head when I was working on this. I had to make quite an effort not to sound like it. btw, turns out Funk Ave in my neighborhood is not near as funky as the song lets on lol

[soulofbass]

teletubbies lol. cool funk music!

[dmio2]

@soulofbass Thanks for listening! I know! Who knew Laa-Laa could Crip-walk

[macgyver2112]

[dmio2]

@NickJWeaver Hey Nick, Thanks for listening!

[BluesMamaRaven]

Wow man great groove - Do you play everything here? Drums Too? The street names are just over the top. That's all real? No adjustments? LOL Thanks for the great tune and fab lyrics =o)

[dmio2]

@BluesMamaRaven. Hi Raven, I play everything but the drums. The computer does that. Still, I find arranging the drums the hardest part. The signs are all from the neighborhood... silly way to get inspiration don't ya think. Thanks for listening!

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

Ahhh...there it is again....my baby....that beautiful disco ball.....Haha!! :)

Great unique video, my friend...I liked the Buddha pose....lol :)

Best wishes, Sunbeam :)

[dmio2]

Hi sunbeam, I knew you'd show up for your little friend.

[BacksideGorilla]

cool tune, my man.

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, Mr Gorilla. Rock on!

[sistalinda]

Very humorous. Very entertaining. Beer in the cereal, I can only guess what's causing all that smoke, and the 70s references. Way cool homie. I'm there.

[dmio2]

Hi sistalinda, I'm thrilled I could entertain a legitimate musician like yourself. Thanks for listening!

[gannibus]

I always love your lyrics,dude.

Macro groove

digging all the cool comments!

[dmio2]

Hello again gannibus. Thanks for stopping by; I totally appreciate your comments.

[ThePatheticClub]

HA! Very cool! Reminds me of Zappa a little. Lyrics are fun too.

"An aqua boogie bopsui where I'll macro groove with you"

Wicked.

[dmio2]

Hi Pathetic, thanks for listening. Lyrics don't come easy to me, but I was pretty pleased with "macro groove."

[mad7o7]

some amazing filming in there! goodness i wonder who filmed the street sign and the records?

[dmio2]

Hi Mikayla, I guess I should give the crew some credit.... thanks.

[karryn13]

I'm totally putting beer in my shredded wheat tomorrow morning. This was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dmio2]

Karryn! I am totally thrilled to see out & about the tube. Thanks for listening! I know you're a drinker, but I honestly can't recommend the shredded wheat & beer.

[gannibus]

WoW!!!You rock so hard,dude.Loved the Beer and Wheaties,.Cool solos!

[dmio2]

Hi gannibus. Thanks for checking it out... to be honest, beer and shredded wheat doesn't turn out to taste as good as you'd think.

[jessatilley]

Dipsy!!! LOL yes so funky he's got the moves, great funky sounds :))

[dmio2]

Hi jess, yeah I was surprised too to see a teletubby who could do the crip-walk. Thanks for listening.

[elviradark6]

ohh yeah!! gotta love that funk!!

sweet lead & sax!! ok going straight to my fav & playlist!!;)

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, elvira. Your cool comments give me some street cred I think.

[slippereal]

zomg there's me @ coney island!!!

[slippereal]

I CAN DIG IT

I LIKE THE LYRICS

NOW I SHALL DANCE

IN ALL CAPS!

p.s. one of these times i want to see you a simultaneous guitar/sax solo

[dmio2]

Thanks for the added dance moves, Mikadelic. Simultaneous huh... well its time to break out the ten toes of doom.

[townstra]

Very cool Dan!

[dmio2]

Hi Tracy, thanks for listening!

[deboeahshasha]

that was fab hugs wee deborah sha sha xoo ireland all the stars

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening deborah. You know, I have at least two other Irish youtube musician friends. Maybe you should check them out: ljped and paddyRYAN1367,

[Cameragirl803]

So glad to see ya posting! Very cool all around!!

especially liked the funky bass add and the video was perfect! *****

[dmio2]

Hi Jane. I do like to compose, but there seems to be so little time. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen.

[DreidMusicalX2]

This is cool man! Very different kinda funk

5*****

[dmio2]

Hi David, thanks for listening. Yeah, I've always been a rocker, so funk is kind of a foreign language to me.... but it really is bass player music.

[cadwalladee]

This is like, so far out mellow funky, man!

Hey! Great to see you're still kickin'and groovin' - you have been missed! The Fog rules!

[dmio2]

Hi Scott, thanks for listening and the nice comment. I've been having a hard time finding time for my youtubing lately, but its fun to get-down once in a while.

[WizKil]

Ya Bro very nice!!

[dmio2]

Hi Brian, thanks for the visit!

[jesuswonthelottery]

good ta hear ya again Fatold, groovy wee tune there. The true inspirations are always the best. Was that Nico McBrain I saw busting ace in there at 1:27 ?

[dmio2]

Hi jesus, nice to see you out around the tube. Thanks for listening! The drummer is Mick Shrimpton from Spinal Tap. He filled in for me after "animal" spontaniously combusted (this is why I refuse to learn the drums).

[edro333]

The fogocaster AND the fogaphone - bring out the heavy funky musical artillery. I may make it to spring with this fogadelic infusion.

[dmio2]

Hey edro, nice use of language... straight from the fogopedia. Thanks for listening.

[prboyd]

Funky bass indeed!

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, Phil. Yeah, it dawned on me that Funk is really bass player music so I should have a go at it.

[reliablebow]

That bass is soundin' HEavy Man...

FREYA FUNK DUDE!

[dmio2]

Hi reliable, hmmm I think "Freya Funk Dude" will be the b-side. Thanks for stopping by.

[reliablebow]

I'll be listenin'....

[archtopbrownie]

I like the way you mix a cocktail. Great playing throughout. Funny funny vid. 5*****

[dmio2]

Hi Lance. I almost didn't post this one, but I had a cocktail and said what the hell.  Thanks for listening.

[jimmymac30]

oh yeah man, too funky, toodothedewadelic & clearly hip

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, jimmy. I'm glad to see you speak the language.

[londonpenda]

Deep FUNK at Funk Avenue...Class..

[dmio2]

Hi Ray, thanks for checking it out. Funk Avenue is the place for it I figured.

[andydudley1]

you put the fun in funky 5*

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, andy. Glad you had some fun.

[ljped]

Fantastic video! The music is superb and the production is so creative.

haha is that beer you put on your shredded wheat?

Well done Dan!

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, ljped. Yeah, that was beer... I don't really eat them that way, I was merely acting. However, I've heard the Irish start their day like that from time to time. :)

[paddyRYAN1367]

kind of an Indie vibe on this one foggster,

ANimal tune amigo! ; as always.

[dmio2]

Hi paddy, thanks for listening. I appreciate you listening to my weird stuff.

[Boucrate]

Funky cool groovy way to start the day!

Love the Zappa style voices harmonies;-)

Yea yea yea funky video, Excellent!

Gonna check if we don't have a funk avenue somewhere in Montreal.

Sweet solo bro!

[dmio2]

Hi Boucrate. I'm sure a hip city like Montreal has a lot more funky streets then Spokane, USA. Thanks for listening.

[liz1060]

Bopsui -- lol! I noticed that Funk crosses Freya -- probably pronounced "fraya" but it would be extra cool if it was "free-ya." Good to see you, Dan!

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, liz. I like free-ya, I would have included that if I'd thought of it. I guess Freya is a norse goddess... we have Thor street a couple blocks away.

[liz1060]

I suspected funk and gods were in the same neighborhood ...

[7lizet]

he man

so great to see another vid of you

great creative lines

I want to macro groove hahaha

very nice song ans sung and played

5 stars

[tps607]

great groove...love the lyrics and vid too

[dmio2]

Hi tps, thanks for taking the time to listen & comment. Reminds me I should swing by your channel soon.

[mettanc]

"Funk Avenue" was FUNKY!!. Where do you live? What state?

Michael

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening Michael. I live in Washington State, and not the cool part lol.

[experimentalrock]

Thumpasaurusly funky! Gopsuious boogie in a macrosynthic groove! I graduated from Funk University.. Funk U for short. Good funk mate!

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening experiment. I'm glad to find that you speak the language!

[dmio2]

Hi Lizet, thanks for stopping by. I actually made up "macro groove." A lot of the other weird words I got from a Funk dictionary we ran across on-line. Funny stuff.

[7lizet]

i loved it ;-)
