Looking at the paper today and the Rocky Mountain News did a small story on Les Paul - inventor of the electric guitar (among other things).
The man is 92 years old and still making music and inventing things!!
I remember seeing him when he was 77 years old at a small jazz club in NYC called "Fat Tuesday's". The man is a genius!
Not only did he develop the first electric guitar, but also multi-track recording and vinyl records! Without the man, the music industry wouldn't be what it is today. The world is a much better place because of him.
