rocketman Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Great player, great inventor. What a perfect life he had. Did what he wanted to do, made people happy with his music, and helped bring us the guitar that rocked our world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Problem with Les Paul... He was such an innovator, such a guitarist, such an entertainer... where does one start? m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valeriy Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 These are rare photos with Les Paul. My friend musician from NY was his neighbor and friend. Maybe I could get acquainted with him, but I was late a little. Here's his birthday , it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yup. Happy b'day, Mr. Paul. An inspiration to us all in any number of ways; Player; Inventor; Gentleman. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Happy birthday! It's a shame, - I know - that only after two decades of playing His signature guitar, I started to listen to His records for the first time... Besides, that He was one of the most important figures in evolution of music production, - I wonder - how many of today's players are aware of skills as a guitar player? He was shredding! In the 50s!!! He could easily put most of the younger guitar gods on the edge of the carpet. Last, but not least: I also respect Him for His will to live. Unlike many with high age, He was a very active man until His final days. I wish, I had half of that energy! Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I do doubt that Les would suggest he'd led a perfect life. There are pitfalls, challenges, personal things that should best perhaps be left personal, in anyone's life; the longer, the more one recognizes paths not taken and wonders... OTOH, and I'm sure Les would likely agree, it's as the old cowboy who could smile watching the blue skies in his last moments, and whisper, "It's been a good ride." m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
