R.I.P. Les Paul

Another legend passes on

Les Paul died today at 94. Just for your own edification google him and see just how much he contributed to music along with his wife.
 
Without him, Rock and Roll would never exist. He was on the radio on WGN late at night with Steve King and Johnni Putman. Interesting stories he told about developing the electric guitar and the people he knew in his life. He will be missed.
 
Thank You Mr. Paul

for the music and everything.

I have this record, my one Les Paul. I picked it up at a garage sale for the cool cover and, well, it was Les Paul. I will give it a spin.

Just saw the sad news on the lunch room TV at work. They showed several clips of the master, but all I heard through the speaker was the news anchor droning on and on.

I would have preferred to hear Paul play a lick on his guitar or at least hear him speak during the story of his passing.

Oh well. He will be missed.

Ladies and gentlemen! Now appearing LIVE in HEAVEN - the Les Paul Trio!
 
R.I.P. :sigh: I hate to admit how unfamiliar I am with his work, but I'm well aware he was a great guitar player, just a bit ahead of my time.
 
Thanks for ALL you did Les
Jam on(and on and on and on and on and on and on...)



Maybe there will be a public celebration of his life. That that's one that would be worth recording
