Les Paul has died. Not that the news came as any great surprise to me: I was already aware that he had needed to cancel his Monday night shows for the last couple of months. So it looks like I got there just in the nick of time! Seeing him was, indeed, the main reason behind the trip I took back in April: after a decade of procrastinating about it, I kind of knew that it was going to be now or never.
The following isn't actually from the show I attended, but something I found from a few months earlier: but he did do the same thing at mine, and it was terribly, terribly sweet. The sound quality of the footage mightn't be all that one could wish for; and his arthritis is clearly discernible: but still... awww!
