Episode 18
This week Chris and Russ remember the life and accomplishments of Les Paul.
Les Paul, who passed away on August 13, 2009 was one of those amazing individuals who got more done in one sitting than most people accomplished in a lifetime. Les Paul was an easy innovator in electrically amplified guitars and anyone interested in popular music will know the Gibson Les Paul guitar, which was designed by Ted McCarty in collaboration with guitarist Mr. Paul. The Les Paul is still one of the most popular guitars made today.
Les Paul started out as Jazz musician, was an early television personality and did pioneering work in multi-track recording. You can find more about Les Paul at the Official Les Paul site. If you want to read about the guitars, have a look at the official Gibson page
Les, we're gonna miss you!
