00:00Okay. I say okay a lot because my name is Logan Whitehurst and I'm okay.
00:09Logan Whitehurst, he picked up quickly. He was a learner.
00:13He was definitely a self-amuser. He entertained himself quite well.
00:17I outsmarted a fellow primate!
00:21He always struck me as a very melodic drummer.
00:25Grace that he would play with. He looked like a duck in water.
00:30Oh, it's almost done. Wow, there's so much going on in there.
00:40Believing it was solo could be difficult to do. The tracks are so impeccably mixed.
00:45Only using a four track, the amount of music that he got into this thing was astounding.
00:52Logan's songs are all different and they're all excellent, each in its own way, especially on Goodbye My Four track.
01:02I consider it the Sgt. Pepper of comedy music.
01:05He lived in this space between humorous, just trying to make you laugh songs and the really pretty stuff.
01:12It was his sense of humor that made his music different.
01:15You call it funny music, but it's brilliant and engaging the way art should be.
01:20When it really counts, my brain comes through in a pinch.
01:23He was waking up in the morning and get nauseous and throw up.
01:28He'd seen enough specialists that they were like, we don't know what's going on.
01:31None of us expected that kind of news at all.
01:34They diagnosed me with a large brain tumor.
01:38So many infusions and radiation treatments, chemo treatments, spinal taps and shunts.
01:44And I'm sure he just kept wanting it to be like, this is the thing that's going to make this over.
01:48It was back and they basically had given him like, roughly six months.
01:52It's like someone hit the reverse switch.
01:55It was a pretty sharp decline in general function.
01:58I went to sleep and didn't wake up.
02:03There's just an approach that he had to life that doesn't seem to be common at all.
02:08To see other people influenced by Logan is amazing.
02:11It's really good creative stuff that inspires you to create, inspires you to be goofy.
02:20I'm not sure what happens.
02:22Somewhere along the way, innocent humor got equated with something negative.
02:27I don't know.
02:28I'm hoping people can be more frivolous in the future.
02:31He had discovered that his feet smelled like buttered popcorn.
02:47And we didn't believe him, but he had to smell his socks.
02:51He approached the sock to smell it, thinking this is disgusting.
02:54But then it smelled like buttered popcorn, which is not disgusting.
02:57And so it was a weird turn to take.
03:01It was a weird turn to take.
