Les Paul (In Memorial) 1915-2009
This looks like just another ho-hum year but wait,
6/9/15 has produced a talent, unparalleled & great,
How come? Many births this month and year so far,
Delivered today was the father of the electric guitar.
Big band, jazz, rhythm & blues, classical, rock & roll,
6 strings was never before blessed with so much soul,
Oh yeah, with music so unique and full of life that’s all,
Simply a sound unlike any other thanks Mr. Les Paul.
A guitar is the heartbeat, oh yeah, leader of the band,
Rhythm, orchestra, gently cradled by woman or man,
Showcased in front, Hendrix, Clapton, Vaughn, King,
Ellis in the background, Rait and others make it sing.
Benson, Montgomery, where to begin, where to stop?
Cray, Perry, Prince, Slash & Van Halen, made it pop,
All the way to 94 even Les himself could carry a tune,
His passing only means showtime is now on the moon.
Hey! Trillions of stars will sway to the masterful beat,
While planets rotate in harmony and stomp their feet,
There are two Creators in heaven, The Original & Les,
Angels are happy they’ll be getting lessons from the best.
A legacy to be left wherever music is played then heard,
Many have even taken the task, skillfully adding words,
Radio, MP3, ipod, record player, studio, stereo in the car,
Can’t imagine how any would sound w/o an electric guitar.

A SAD DAY AND A HELL OF A LOSS FOR MUSIC.
Ira Marlowe Englewood NJ on August 13th, 2009
Let’s all stop for a moment and say a prayer for Les.
This is a sad day.
The day Les passed is also the 91st Birthday of Sid Bernstein.
Les nor Sid have been inducted into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame.
For Sid Bernstein and Les 2010 should be the year they are inducted into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame. If the hall waits any longer most of us will be long gone and Rock-n-Roll will be just a snap shot in time of the past days…Like the dinosaurs.
Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame wake up and do something worthwhile.
Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame. Short of that, Shame on you!
