Les Paul Dies at 94.
As most of you have heard, the legendary Les Paul has passed away at age 94.
Being a drummer and on the “outside” of the guitar world, I cannot fully grasp the importance that this man played in revolutionizing guitars. So you guitar players out there, let everyone know what the name “Les Paul” means to you and how you feel he affected the guitar world.
Les Paul was an idol for guitarists like me. I, of course, couldn’t approach his technical skills on the guitar but I knew he was great. I played mostly in the early 60s and the Les Paul model Gibson was highly coveted.
