Les Paul Dies Age 94

For those of you not familiar with Les Paul, he was a highly accomplished Jazz Guitarist, invented the concept of multitracking and he was the father of the solid body electric guitar. He's therefore directly responsible for almost all music recorded in the last 50 years and he passed away today age 94 from complications of severe pneumonia.

Here's a complete obituary.
nope.

I live in Waukesha, WI. That is where Les Paul was born. He has his own street name. The town is in mourning.

I remember him as more of an inventor, since he contributed so much to the instrument as well as music itself.
