Yeah, I just heard it on the TV news.
As (an old) guitar (bass) player, Less paul was alway somone who paved the way for us.

I remenmber years ago on the old Arthor Godfry show when Les was on.
He was explaninmg how he and Mary Ford recorded "How High The Moon" using the new multi track recording equipment/technology that he invented.

Les was a true legened!

I have High High the Moon on a MP3 which I wiil now play in his memory. RIP Les.

We have lost a legend today.

I'll bust out my '79 "The Paul" in tribute!

I guess at 94 he certainly lived a full life. One of if not THE major influence of rock n' rollers everywhere, Les Paul, to me will be a true guitar god. That settles it, I must get a Les Paul to complete my guitar collection. I won't direct you to an article because they are everywhere. Hopefully someone will produce a video tribute worthy of this guitar legend. God bless you Les Paul.
