I had the great opportunity to see Les Paul in 2000 at the Iridium Club, an evening I will always remember. My grandfather was a guitar player and one of the first to play with an amplifier. He was inspired by Les Paul and it was said that he even received lessons from him in Los Angeles back in the 40's. I don't know how true that was but I would like to go on believing that. I even had a chat with Les Paul that evening at the Iridium Club on that very thing, of course he couldn't remember, but he lived in LA at that time. I now play the guitar and my Gibson Les Pauls are my favorites. Thanks for everything Les Paul and God Bless you! Greg Andrade It was a solemn day for me and my family hearing of Les Paul’s passing.
