RIP Les Paul - 1915-2009

Oh, wow. A legend, and a gentleman. Had the great pleasure of hearing him play a few times, and meeting him briefly in the '80s. I treasure the 45 of How High The Moon he autographed for me. Thanks for everything, Lester.
 
WOW, just wow. He will truly be missed. I'm a LP player as well. I even used his real name as a pseudonym when I was gaming online. Big fan, I am. Huge loss. RIP Lester.
 
Despite my moniker, I've always had at least one LP in my quiver of guitars.

Les Paul truly deserves his legendary status.

RIP
 
Talk about an American Icon. He was still playing in clubs as of last fall. The album he did with Chet Atkins, Chester and Lester, is a fun album.

I remember the tongue-in-cheek review of that album - "Lester pesters while Chester festers". In addition to his other talents, he was quite a jokester. RIP Mr. Polfus.
 
WI native, invented multi-track recording, and the electric guitar...without him we would be without great music...RIP
