Happy Birthday, Les Paul!
Les Paul turned 94 yesterday, June 9. Les Paul is credited with innovating many recording techniques we think of as commonplace today, such as multi-track recording and overdubbing. He also built and owned one of the first electric guitars, the first of which was named The Log. In addition to his technology innovations, Les Paul penned many hit singles, most recorded with his wife, Mary Ford.
Although he entered into semi-retirement long ago, he still plays every Monday night at NYC’s Iridium Jazz Club.
Here’s Les jamming with Guitarbalooga favorite, Jeff Beck:
