I know there will be countless eulogies posted over the loss of this genius but I couldn't let it pass without acknowledging one of the greatest influences in my life.
Sleep well Les. I'll miss you.
Something a lot of people don't know about Les is that he was crippled in an automobile accident, his right arm was badly broken. Doctor's said he would never play again. He ordered them to set it at an angle so he could still play guitar. As you can see, it worked.
Heff... the one he actually invented first that I played the most was a 335. They should have named that one after him. I'm an acoustic man these days.
I think he influenced a great many lifes C. Especially musical ones. Not a bad influence that one.
ReplyDeleteAnother amazing talent that will be missed.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know that. Nice story.
ReplyDeleteLes Paul it too big for one site
ReplyDeleteHis guitars are awfully damn heavy, but I must admit, I've owned a few.
