In Memory of Les Paul

in Music | August 13th, 2009 2 Comments

Les Paul, the gui­tar mas­ter and inven­tor, passed away today at the age of 94. The clip above shows Paul at 90, just a few years ago, liv­ing a still vig­or­ous life. He’ll be missed.

    Thanks for post­ing this clip. I’ve had my head down and did not see this news today. Les Paul was a great musi­cian, and a Les Paul gui­tar is a thing of beau­ty. See­ing one always brings back many fond mem­o­ries.
