Just heard that Les Paul died today, at the age of 94. He had pneumonia.
He was responsible for many innovations in the recording industry, including multi-tracking and the solid body electric guitar which bears his name.

I thought that he had already had passed. 94 years, to me, that's a long time. He did do a lot for the music industry. A great pioneer and inavator, rip.

With his name on a line of guitars, I don't think it will be forgotten any time soon.
