This is a sad day, indeed.

Could you imagine life without his contributions?

Multi-track recording... the Les Paul guitar line...


Rest in peace, Great One.






I know that my life would be drastically different. I've wanted a LP guitar, ever since I was listening to Kiss albums in my bedroom, on a K-tel flip-top.

I must admit, I picked it up from another site... just thought you guys would appreciate it just as much as I did.

What a great guy... That video made me shed a tear at first, but by the end, I was laughing at their shtick, and smiling ear-to-ear.


Thanks for everything, Mr.Paul.

A genuine legend in a world where that word gets thrown around much too much.

You can bet there will be at least one pallbearer at his funeral complaining that a Les Paul is too heavy to carry for a long time.

--I'll be going now.

Yeah... I have three, and two are way-heavy, so I know what you mean.

Still...

Yep, we all played Les Paul's yesterday at the music store yesterday in tribute.

And honestly, he can be thanked for the electric guitar we know and love. If it wasn't for him we'd still be playing strings on a box and miccing them.

And ya, watched several vids with Mary Ford last night. I own all of his recordings and will pass them down to the boyz when I depart this place. Hopefully I live as long as he did.

A true legend. Saw a program about him and his work, brilliant
and a really nice guy. I bought a Les Paul Deluxe in 76, great guitars. R.I.P.
