A Fond Farewell to Les Paul
13 Aug 2009
Over a year ago I did a post about Les Paul and a friend of ours in NJ who often shared stories of the days when he worked alongside Les Paul. Les Paul got his start here in the Garden State, and passed away today in a NY hospital not so very far away, White Plains Hospital, surrounded by family and friends.
Always sorry to hear about the loss of someone great, and what a long and full life he lived. It’s my understanding that he passed from complications due to Pneumonia.
Our best wishes to the family.

He goes WAY back, I remember when I’d listen to Peter, Paul and Mary, my Mom would tell me about Les Paul and Mary Ford. Thanks for visiting!
