A lack of planning on your part DOES NOT constitute an emergency on mine!

Very Sad, Les Paul was a great man and as the article says, the cornerstone of modern music.
When I was a teen, I used to dream of one day owning a Les Paul. I owned several copies through the years but never the real thing. It was always way out of reach on my old lab tech salary.
I finally caught a break in 1995, I sold all my copies and other guitars and used my tax refund to purchase an ebony 1969 Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty. I think I will change out the strings tonight and give her a nice polish.

"Somewhere theres music
How faint the tune
Somewhere theres heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere theres music
How near, how far
Somewhere theres heaven
Its where you are
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
Somewhere theres music
How faint the tune
Somewhere theres heaven
How high the moon
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon"
Not written by Les Paul but he and Mary Ford did it best!
Apologies to you Ella Fitzgerald fans....she came in second best!

A great innovator. Music would not be the same without him. RIP Mr. Polfuss.
I've owned a couple LPs, but I'll show my favorite:

I downloaded sometime ago a compilation of songs played on Les Paul guitars by various artists. It is fabulous. I believe it is from an actual album called Les Paul and Friends a Tribute. If you can find it, it is well worth making a copy.
