Re: Les Paul gone

It's hard to mourn a man that lived a full, long, productive life-

He lived the dream of every musician and will be forever immortalized by the Gibson Les Paul--The recording industry still uses the techniques he pioneered and although many will never know his name, all music lovers will continue to benefit from his work--

God Speed Les---I love your guitars--

Re: Les Paul gone

Here's a few pics I took the 2 times I got to see him play at the Iridium. He is sorely missed and we will never see another one like him... RIP Les and I hope you're up there jamming with Chet, Django, etc.
