Those who know me know that I’m a HUGE Les Paul fan.

Well, Les passed away today at the ripe age of 94 years young.  For the last few years, Les had a regular Monday night gig at the iridium nightclub in NYC.

Here’s a great article on Les: Tribune article

If you can go to wgnradio.com tonight after 11:00 PM, CDT, and listen to Steve and Johnnie, who were very close friends of Les.
