As an inveterate reader of Guitar Player Magazine from about '72 on, and being one of those guitar shop layabouts for years, I was one who worshiped Les Paul. When the Chester & Lester record came out I finally tried to interest my rocker friends in the style too. It always seemed to me that his playing transcended style. He had such great and musical ideas in his playing, to say nothing of his electronic prowess, and his entertainment smarts.

I wait for the endless tributes, though I hope Gibson doesn't go too over the top as they can do sometimes. There's very little more that can be said or done for and about the man.

Peace, Mooh.
