Just saw that Les Paul, legendary inventor & guitar player has died.  He changed the course of music with the electric guitar, multi-track recording and countless effects. He will be missed. Sad

A friend got to see him in NYC, a year or so back.  He remarked on the old man being sharp witted and "funny as sh#t". 94 years ain't a bad run.
