RIP Les Paul

[ChubRock]

The Log changed music forever.

FAREWELL.

Tie the strings to my life, my Lord,
Then I am ready to go!
Just a look at the horses --
Rapid! That will do!

Put me in on the firmest side,
So I shall never fall;
For we must ride to the Judgment,
And it's partly down hill.

But never I mind the bridges,
And never I mind the sea;
Held fast in everlasting race
By my own choice and thee.

Good-by to the life I used to live,
And the world I used to know;
And kiss the hills for me, just once;
Now I am ready to go!

-Emily Dickinson

The Log changed music forever.

It sure did. To say nothing of his impact on recording techniques and effects.

The man was a visionary and an amazing musician in his own right.

Quite a life and quite a legacy.

[O'Callaghan]

There'll never be another. I found myself more upset by this than by the deaths of any musician.
