Les Paul's legacy will certainly live forever, unfortunately, we all have to go sometime.
RIP Mr. Paul...

Thank you for everything, Les. For the years of innovation and inspiration, for the unforgettable songs and human warmth, thank you.

This is a sad, sad day for me now. If the players in heaven haven't been practicing their scales, they'd better clear the stage.
It is a great regret to me that I never made it to the Irridium to see him play.

What a contribution to so many, generation after generation, across the whole musical spectrum.

Peace LP.

Wow, just heard the news......RIP LP.

I guess when you're 90+ it's amazing he was still alive, so no huge surprises........

Noel, thanks for those link!

I wonder if Les still had the guitar in the last video. Worth quite bit now I'd think..

A loss for all of music-dom... The Man!

This is a huge loss for the music loving world.
Thanks to Dave Pascoe, a few of us from the forum got to see Les Paul perform live this past November. It was a great show. His mind was sharp with a great sense of humor and he could still play well.

RIP Les, thanks for all your contributions to music.
