    I was just listening to my Dallas 2003 boot the other day and Eddie had us all raise a glass to Les Paul who turned 88 that day.

    The impact he had on music cannot be overstated.

    This thread needs a sticky if just for one day only please.

    Every band including PJ should take a moment of silence and remember what Les did for the entire music world.

    Very shocked to hear the news of his passing.

    Sad. A true legend! Inventor of the solid body guitar and four track recorder, to name a couple.

    I was lucky enough to see him perform this time last year in NYC. He played the Iridium Jazz Club practically every Monday night.

    :cry:

    Someone had to, and I had enough of his name calling on other threads. :D

    I saw Les Paul perform several times and met him a few times, too. A truly gracious and wonderful man and a true pioneer of electric guitar and recording technique. He always took time to speak to fans after shows and acted like like a regular guy with no pretense at all. A real gentleman.
    Today is a sad day for music.
