Members Wyatt Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yeah, my wife texted me when it hit the news wire. We used to go see him live at the Iridium as a treat when we would visit her former home turf of NYC. Great player a fun dirty old man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members headless Posted August 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 Never more have I wanted a Les Paul. I hate to be crass at a time like this (I have nothing but respect for LP, the man), but your statement makes me wonder... With the the passing of Michael Jackson, we saw sales of his recording spike. I wonder if we'll see some similar expression of people wanting to feel some connection to LP by buying the guitar. I wish I could see before and after sales figures on LP guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ColoradoFenderB Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 I am hoping (but not counting on it) that the national news media give him anywhere near the same wall to wall coverage as they did when MJ died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bsman Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hey - it's not sad! The guy was in his mid 90s, lived a full and productive life, received numerous accolades and fame, and was healthy until the end. I envy the guy - I can't imagine much else you could ask for in a life well-lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
