A few weeks ago, I happened to be at a local art library… Brand library in Glendale.  I was browsing their DVDs and saw one on the life of Les Paul.  I watched it and was amazed at what an innovator he really was.  Not only was he a superb guitarist…but he came up with the concept of multi-track recording and was the first to actually develop it. He also came up with the first solid body guitar design to facilitate hearing a guitar in the context of a loud jazz band.  He played with many of the greatest  musicians and composers of his time.  He was still playing weekly at a Jazz club at the age of 90, when the documentary was made.  I was sad to hear that he passed away just 2 weeks after I saw the documentary.
