Les Paul Departs


Sad news for guitar aficionados around the world. Famed guitarist, Les Paul, died today at age 94. Select my post title for a link to the New York Times obituary.

All blessings to him and his memory.



I mentioned him in passing on one of my earlier blog posts this year: "STRADIVARIUS – Eddie Van Halen."


See HERE for a video clip of Mr. Paul proving he still had chops shredding "How High the Moon."

He certainly changed how the world relates to the guitar. He was a great player, and a great innovator. May his memory be eternal!

Hey JH--yes to all those things. He lived a long and robust life.
