Les Paul Dies at 94 today

Les Paul invented the solid body electric guitar and multi-track recording. That effectively makes him God in the music industry. Rock on Les.

Another Great gone!

I like the part where FDR gave Les a pack of cigarettes and asked him to play for the kids.

As a solid-body electric guitar owner, this news saddens me. However, there are much worse things than being able to play guitar until your death at 94-years old. He was still playing local jazz shows near his home months ago! I'm celebrating with you tonight, my friend, because without you I wouldn't have my beautiful Ibanez! (Maybe I would have... But Les was the original inventor, before the other two guys did it!)
