Indeed ... the passing of a giant!

(when did comment moderation start?)

Always sad when a genuine icon passes... he reached some age, bt sad none the less.
Multitracking was a fantastic invention. Better, even, than the electric guitar.
Good ol' Les.
What a talent. And stick rocking in his 90s.
One of my first blog-bits was about Les Paul. It's almost impossible to overstate his contribution to modern music.
Another legend lost.
accch he'll live...no, wait.
Wow. My word verification was lepbrst!
Okay, no it wasn't. It was larsw.
Still, wouldn't that have been spooky?
I thought to myself 'shame I never got to see him play in NY'.
Tim rubbed his hands together and asked whether it meant my guitar would be worth more!!!!!
JDA - Dying's rubbish, innit?
Savvy - Comment moderation? The clue is in the comments of the last post.
Word Verification was too spooky.
Piley - Yes, a good innings was achieved but I wish I saw him play.
Geoff - Multitracking rules. The man was a genius.
Liz - Stick rocking? Ah yes, every elderly person needs the aid of a stick to rock with...
PM - That's a good tribute to Les on yours. Loved it.
Joanne - I've heard that they've banged the coffin nails in already.
Kenski - That's a point. Are Les Paul guitars that were made during Les Paul's lifetime going to be worth more in the future?
Watch this space...
Apologies for lack of blogging action, but in the meantime, here's a joke:
Question : How many bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb ?
Answer : I don't like to sound too presumptuous but I think I can do it by myself. No offense.
I heard this whilst in teh USA and didn't have time for a post. I should do this man changed the world. Stupidly I never took the chance to see him in NYC at his Monday night residency.
How high the moon - he was a bloody genius - and still played live every week up to his going.
(blimey - my word verif is koxack - er ...yes..anyway)
Furtheron - I too regret not going to see him when I was in NYC some years back. I was too busy buying an SG from Sam Ash just up the road from Les's gig venue!
Romo - Word verification? Where? Have I implemented comment moderation?
Koxack?
Are you trying to tell me something?
;-)
Comment moderation is activated but I can't see wether word verification is or not.
Sod it, I'll sort it all out later. An afternoon of heavy drinking is about to take place.
