I was very moved when he passed.<br /><br />Both Leo and Les were the Thomas Edisons of our time.Clinton Carnegiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353694159662057570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4627082341520635633.post-86828337716793984502009-08-29T00:43:56.045+08:002009-08-29T00:43:56.045+08:00Les Paul and Leo Fender did more for rock and roll...Les Paul and Leo Fender did more for rock and roll than anyone I can think of. Les Paul was a gracious and technically creative man. I have a few guitars with his name on them, a 1957 Les Paul Junior, 1959 Special, 1960 Junior DC, Several early 1970's Deluxes. The one guitar I really wish I still had was a 1960 Les Paul Custom single cutaway, burgundy with gold hardware - a real classic rock sound and heavy as a boat anchor. RIP, Les, we will miss you. <br /><br />Mark in BostonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
