I just wanted to pay my personal debts to the musical genious that was Les Paul here in my blog. Ever since I was, or even before I was, a fledling guitarist, a title which some might say I still carry to this day, I always envisioned myself with one of of those Les Paul Studios in black, on a stage thrashing out tunes to an audience of thousands.
Now, I find myself playing to crowd of me, myself, and I, and surely I'm unable to afford one of those righteous music machines, and rightly so at that. Still, its a dream of mine to one day have a authentic Les Paul of my own, and to feel the legacy that this wonderful man left behind for us all.
Its a sad day for music, and an even darker day for us guitarists. A genius amongst us has moved on, up the stairway to heaven which his brilliance built, to a better place, where his music can be heard on the traveling wind of heaven. A melody that will forever ring throughout the cosmos.
