Les Paul June 9, 1915 – August 13, 2009 www.lespaulonline.com is running snippets of what it calls “The Les Paul Show.” You should really go there to check it out. It’s snippets of sounds … Les joking with Mary, bits of Beck, Steve Miller and whoever of the thousands owes this man a debt.

I was there!!!! you can tell (if you know me) by my distinctive laugh at 1:24 into the track. I wish I could turn this sad news into a smile. REST IN PEACE, LES!
