Re: Death of Les Paul today
Very sad.
He was a great guitarist and innovator, listen to his early recordings with Mary Ford and you can hear his home made echo chamber, as well as very early use of tone knobs for a wah effect and sweet distortion and sustain. All done in the ‘40s and ‘50s.
I will miss him.

Seeing Les Paul play live was one of the things on my list of things to do before I died.
Some people just seem immortal, I guess.

On a personal level, Freaking Out is a process whereby an individual casts off outmoded and restricting standards of thinking, dress, and social etiquette in order to express creatively his relationship to his immediate environment and the social structure as a whole.

My brother actually got to see Les Paul play at a club in NYC several years back. He said he talked to him a bit and went on his way. Everybody should check out Les Paul - Complete Trios - Plus(1936-1947). He was one hell of a guitar player and inventor. He lived to be 94, wow!
