irishenglish	Obit: Les Paul, age 94, passed away 13 Aug 2009 (55* d)	RE: Obit: Les Paul, age 94, passed away	13 Aug 09
The location changed a few years ago, but the Iridium used to be 5 blocks from my apartment, where Les would drive in from Mahwah and do his Monday night shows. Did I ever go? No. Do I regret it? Yes. My wife and I watched a profile of Les on American Experience last year on PBS. She's normally not interested with details of music making, and although I had played Les and Mary for her, which she enjoyed, it wasn't until she saw all the innovations Les came up with that she truly understood why he was so important. Like others have said, living and playing until 94 is nothing to shake a stick at. RIP Les, you left one hell of a legacy.
