Music R.I.P. Les Paul

Posted by Mike Conklin on Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 12:30 PM

News is slowly spreading that legendary guitarist, and the namesake of one of the most iconic instruments in all of rock and roll, Les Paul died this morning at a hospital in White Plans, NY, where he was being treated for pneumonia. He was 94.

I'm not exactly sure when he stopped, but up until very recently, Les Paul performed every Monday night at the Iridium jazz club right here in the city. Here's hoping you made it out to see him at least once.
