Les Paul Is, Without a Doubt, An American Master

Yesterday evening I viewed a PBS production of American Masters on Les Paul.  The show was titled Les Paul:Chasing Sound and it was definitely worthwhile.  The man has had a huge hand in the development of electronic sound, and his early forays into electrifying sound are astoundingly original, American made.

If it comes on again in your viewing area, I highly recommend it.

Les, at 92 years of age, is still jamming on Monday nights at the Iridium in New York City, and I salute him.

Here’s a YouTube clip of the show.
