At age 93, still amazing the music world, Inventor & Musician are only two words that come to mind when we hear the name Les Paul.
Starting at an early age with a fascination for the harmonica, Les Paul began his musical journey into many lives across America, I don’t imagine he saw the things that were to come, he had to feel it in the fibers of his soul.
With the dedication to the sound & instruments, not even letting a broken arm stop his playing or his drive, he brought into the world effects that have bred the need for guitar players to strive for incredible licks and uniqueness.
A true pioneer of the musical industry, with the design of “The Log” he sailed the musical river with various instruments.
Throughout his learning years, he dabbled with the banjo, piano and guitar. In the early 50’s Gibson Guitars designed a guitar with the very suggestions of Les Paul, through some turbulent times the original design was changed unbeknown to Les Paul, he asked his name be removed from it, and it is now known as the SG. Still endorsing Gibson Guitars, Les Paul creates an explosion of fireworks in guitar players eyes and hands worldwide.
An Inventor and a Mentor, to many - here’s wishing you a Happy Birthday!

Funny thing, I didn’t even know that it’s his birthday today but my co-worker and I were talking about great jazz and blues musicians and Les Paul’s name dominated our conversation.
Talk about longevity, huh?
Anyway, as always great art Susie!!!

When I think of Les Paul, I think of two words. Innovator and inventor. I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the guitar but I, unfortunately, lacked the patience. An old friend of mine, a real guitar player, would tell stories about Les Paul and how he was inspired by him.
Anyway, I just wanted to drop by and check your site. I love your sketches and the whole blog, itself. Nicely done. Thanks for visiting my site earlier today.

When I was around 5yrs old, I remember loving the record of Les Paul and Mary Ford “How High the Moon”, but I didn’t realise how much he had achieved in his lifetime so far - until your great post. Thanks
