Happy Birthday, Les

Posted on June 9, 2016 by Ray V.

Les Paul, the  father of the electric guitar would have celebrated his 101st bithday today, had he not died in 2009.

Read about him here.

I was the proud owner of a 1976, Les Paul Custom, shown in the photo.  As I have been downsizing this past year, and have no players in the family to pass it on to,  I recently sold it to a collector from Lexington, SC.

The Gibson Les Paul, in it’s various versions has been  an instrument of choice  for decades.

About Ray V.

Living between Aiken & Nashville, TN, USA, I like to share what I am looking at, thinking about or listening to. I refer to this as the view out my window. Thanks for stopping by.

    You lucky, lucky man! I would have been tempted to keep it just to dust it occasionally.
