His music was very easy on the ears and way ahead of its time.

Don’t forget that he invented almost every recording technique we use today.

Love the fat and dirty sound of a Les Paul.

He used to live in the next town over from mine (maybe still did). Anyway I can remember going to a birthday party at his house for one of his grandchildren (one of my childhood school mates). God bless him....

Many guitarists say they were influenced by Jimi Hendrix.
I'd say there would be no Jimi Hendrix without Les Paul.

RIP Mr. Les Paul. Now go rip it up with Django and Wes and Chet.

Les Paul used to play on the the morning Arthur Godfrey show. I remember that from when I was a little one, eating breakfast with Mom, watching TV. Or was it on radio, too?

I seem to remember “Les Paul and Mary Ford.”

Sorry to hear it. He’s been working regularly. I’ve heard him from time to time on a Chicago all night show at 4AM saying that the show was done, now it was time for him to party.
