OK so the legends of music are dropping off the perch at an alarming rate but mum this is serious! The absolute legend of them all Les Paul has left this mortal realm after a lifetime of innovation and great music.
Its probably true to say popular music today would be entirely different if Les Paul hadn't been around. Inventor of the modern electric guitar and multi track recording not to mention all sorts of innovations and techniques this guy was the biz.
Just listen to his early instros, they sound like the fastest picker you've ever heard on helium. Sublime stuff.
Here is a long out of print box set which probably best sums up Les the guitar player and his terrific 50s style duets with his wife Mary Ford.
The album links are not my upload so thanks to him or her.

Thanks!
Thanks, missed a few of these
miss Les as well, he'll never get the credit he deserves
I would like to remind a lovely story told on Art Tatum biography that says that when Paul met Tatum's incredible talent, he gave up piano and decided to play guitar.
