Les Paul died yesterday. I remember hearing Travis saying something about it late last night as I was dozing and I thought he must have been mistaken.
In the clarity of a new day, I now know it’s true. Still, I can barely wrap my mind around it. I don’t know how I feel or what to say; it seems impossible, as though he was a super-hero who could never die, at least not in any earthly kind of way.
I never saw any news headlines, tv or online coverage and I suppose that’s because there was no controversy or drama, just the passing of music’s greatest pioneer and inventor, the Architect of Rock and Roll.
When I doubt the saying that “one man can make a difference”, I will remember Les Paul as the ONE man who really did make that difference.
