Les Paul passed away Thursday, August 13th at age 94. For some of us who just recognized the name as the guitar brand… Here’s a great NPR’s Fresh Air story about the man and his many accomplishments. Did you know he invented reverb? overdubbing? He wrote songs and, oh yea, built some great guitars! The NPR story includes a interview with Les Paul as well. Great listen.
