Breaking news: Les Paul is dead today at the age of 94. I think it's fair to say that without Les Paul, we would be left with only the ancient wind instrument melodies written by pop stars of the 18th century such as Beethoven and Bach. By allowing musicians to play using only their hands, Les Paul enabled vocals to be added to music, which until then had been purely instrumental.

Jimmy Page, in the 1977 interview with Steve Rosen, said of Les Paul "I mean he’s the father of it all: multi-tracking and everything else. If it hadn’t been for him, there wouldn’t have been anything really."

Is America taking civil defense seriously?
