There are many people who play Guitar Hero on their video games. A real guitar hero died today. Les Paul. While I do not play guitar or even pretend that I can I have followed music for a long time. I have listened to all types and enjoy most. My XM radio gives me a chance to listen to a variety of styles. At any rate when I heard that Les Paul had died I started thinking about some of the stuff he has accomplished. One of my favorite memories is of him in a Coors beer commercial. Here is a video of that commercial. Hope you enjoy it.
Let's not forget that this weekend is the 40th anniversary of the the largest outdoor concert ever conceived. Woodstock August 16, 17, 18 1969.
My kids got me the remastered DVD of Woodstock for Father's Day. It has been a blast listening to and watching it. The music was great. On a side note I almost went to that weekend event. A friend of mine was going to drive. When his mom told him he couldn't take the car he wanted to hitch hike to Max Yasgur's farm in upstate New York. Not me. I wasn't hitchhiking anywhere. Not even to another galaxy.
Listen the Jefferson Airplane.

ReplyDeleteMy husband is a huge Les Paul fan. He will be sad when he hears this news! He was quite a gifted artist and I'm sure the guitar world is missing him!
