A Genius and True Artist is Gone! Long live the Les Paul!

We lost a true artist and genius this week in Les Paul. Growing up in Alabama, Les Paul was an icon. With the invention of the electric guitar and multi-track recording, he established himself as a pioneer in the rock and roll music industry. He was from humble beginnings and kept that attitude and trait throughout his life. I saw him in an interview recently where he said he was truly amazed how famous his guitars have become. He never expected to be as popular as he was, even though he was real talented. His work and ideas will live on.
