Brian Culbertson's "Funk!" is a throwback, funkadelic, old-school record in the style of P-Funk meets Prince that will make you dance, laugh, sing along and pretty much get down. That's what Funk! is all about. It’s been 8 years since the release of "Bringing Back The Funk" so get ready for the latest evolution coming this September 30th! "Been Around The World" is the first single, on radio now.

The painting shows my hometown, the city of Tsukuba, Ibaraki prefecture, Japan, the place that I will forever hold dear in my heart.

I know you must be busy
And life cannot be easy
To find the energy to go on

The night unfurls its splendor
My thoughts are sweet and tender
Hoping we can chat when you logon

君に会いたい
声を聞きたいです
少しでも会えたら
嬉しい

どこ に います か
隠れないで
帰って きます か
My heart is online


The night turns into morning
Melancholy is boring
WiFi is dead, our networks misaligned

I overthink, I stutter
Under my breath I mutter
If only I could see what's on your mind

君に会いたい
声を聞きたいです
少しでも会えたら
嬉しい

どこ に います か
隠れないで
帰って きます か
My heart is online

------------------------

chorus:

I want to see you
I want to hear your voice
Would be happy to meet even just for a bit

Where are you
Don't hide
Will you come back?
My heart is online

My Heart Is Online

Lyrics:
Too many times
Did i sit here and cry
After  the lies
Can we say our goodbyes
Why are you playin
I'm tired of saying
You took it all
When you walked out on me
You're from the city
I'm from the sticks
You were so pretty
But you made love a bitch
Just go 
Take it all with you
Moonlight 
On the morning dew
I'm so sick and tired 
Of messin around
Of mucking it up
Every time that i'm down
I’m so sick and tired 
Of running away
I must be in love
Won’t you just stay

Hi, my name is Stephan Lipinski, or other wise known as "Pinner". I am a jazz/rock/fusion guitarist from New Jersey. I began playing back in the sixth grade and was fortunate to study with Jazz Great Vic Juris while in high school (http://vicjurisjazz.com/). My biggest and most direct influences include Robben Ford (www.robbenford.com/) Vic Juris (http://vicjurisjazz.com) Scott Lerner (http://www.scottlernermusic.com/) and Chuck D'Aloia (http://chuckdaloiamusic.com/) I have played in everyting from jazz to rock bands, and latest project was an acoustic duo called Kosmik Kow. Even though I am not in formal group now, I can been found at local jam sessions and sitting in with some friend's bands. My current gear includes a Collings i35lc, Collings City Limits, SVL 61 Reserve, Suhr S1 and a Mark Jenny Reliced Telecaster into a Fuchs Overdrive Supreme Bassman Mod (with some additional mods by Scott Lerner) into a Glaswerks 2x12 with Celestion G12-65's.I am a big fan of Dumble style amplifiers lol. I use Curt Mangan strings on all my guitars.
