Les Paul, who invented the solid-body electric guitar later wielded by a legion of rock 'n' roll greats, died Thursday of complications from pneumonia. He was 94.According to Gibson Guitar, Paul died at White Plains Hospital. His family and friends were by his side.
As an inventor, Paul also helped bring about the rise of rock 'n' roll with multitrack recording, which enables artists to record different instruments at different times, sing harmony with themselves, and then carefully balance the tracks in the finished recording.
Thank you sir for making music what it is today.

(DH had gone to Berklee College for Music for two years, before leaving and majoring in...of all things...Accounting.) He used to go see him in NYC when he was there on business trips. He's going Monday, and had hoped to see him again. We have a picture of DH with him from a few years back.
