Victor Daniels 

April 12, 1899 – December 1, 1955

☆ (aka Chief Thundercloud) was an American character actor. His portrayal of Native American characters, particularly in Westerns, helped shape the image of Native Americans in early cinema.

His roles were mostly that of the noble warrior or wise elder, often depicted as a fierce yet honorable figure.

His powerful presence and authenticity made him one of the most recognized Native American actors of his time. His title "Chief" was a Hollywood invention, a stage name.

He had the title role in Geronimo (1939) and played Tonto in both Republic Lone Ranger serials, The Lone Ranger (1938) and The Lone Ranger Rides Again (1939)

The Original New Timbral Orchestra (TONTO) is the first and largest multitimbral polyphonic analog synthesizer, capable of producing many tone colours with different voices simultaneously.

Beginning with a single Moog Series III Modular in 1968, creators Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff continued to expand TONTO with modules from different manufacturers, along with custom additions designed by Cecil. It marked the first attempt at creating a universal language for different synthesizers to communicate with each other, which was revolutionary.

Stevie Wonder, I believe was the first to really use this in popular music, as first appeared on his record Talking Book, and is on many hits, including Superstition.

A veces no conocemos a la persona, no por que no nos interesemos, si no porque a esa persona no le interesa compartir su vida contigo.
