RIP

Les will never die. Imagine life without Gibson Les Paul's and multi tracking.

Peace

Pulled out the Studio and ripped some licks for an hour this morning in memory.... now I just wish I could play well enough to do it justice. Got sent a great little piece from the Getty Images blog this morning... it's got a cool photo of the acoustic with the big chunk'a wood in the middle.

His passing makes you wonder what the likes of us would be doing now if it wasn't for him...

RIP Les.

RIP indeed.

But that pic of Madonna playing his namesake is blasphemy.

I saw her and thought exactly the same thing. Didn't post because I thought we should keep it positive, but now you have I say what a f&^%*&g joke.

It's probably the only couple of Les Paul Pics Getty have on file.... they are predominantly a photojourno service. Didn't really think about it till Kris mentioned it... now I'm disgusted to have posted it. Sorry for offending.
