    Just heard this, too.

    Many fond memories of listening to his innovative recordings back when I was just a lad. Godspeed, Mr. P., and thanks.

    Many people live and die without the world even noticing or caring about their existence..

    This sweet man was a MONSTER in the history of man kind and his passing should be noted by ALL humanity.

    RIP Les, and thank you.

    It is a shame, but then it is not if you look at it in a different way. He lived a very full and wonderful life. I hope I live to be 94 and still gig once a week! What a great man, he will be missed. RIP Les!

    A pioneer - no pro tools without Les Paulīs multitrack would have seen the light.
    Watch the full length dvd about his live - itīs great.

    Thank you Les

    I must admit that the man could really play the guitar.
