I think I have practically everything ever recorded by Les Paul and Mary Ford. He was a true American Legend.

R.I.P. Mr. Paul.

Yes...Les Paul was a true American Legend and Icon.
Tonight I will play all my Les Paul's in his honor.

A 21 guitar salute...if you will! ( I don't have that many...4 at last count)

One of the greatest Americans ever! We should be deluged with Les Paul tributes on TV that dwarf Michael Jackson's. The dude was unbelievably amazing. Thanks Les for all you did!

You might not have intended the pun Bryan, but it says it all for me.

He wasn't just a great American (although he was that as well) he was a great (outstanding) innovator on the guitar. Geo gets it right; where would we be now? Sad, sad day.....What a legacy he left though. I might even buy a LP now....
