I heard earlier this morning…the more I thought about it the more of an impact it is making on me. Jimmy Page, yeah cherry burst, he played one, Frampton, wow 3 pick up Black Beauty, Ace Frehley, cherry sunburst, that was him too. The cover of Boston’s first album. I could go on and on and on. His impact is magnificent. Nearly all the axe slingers that I stared at on countless album covers and liner notes as a kid…it doesn’t even matter what genre I developed into…there will never be any denying that lasting image of the single cutaway…one of the main things I always drooled over was and now is his legacy…This doesn’t even touch upon multi-track recording…WOW!!

Rest in Peace and Go With God

I was lucky enough to meet him earlier this year. he was such a great inventer and musician and really changed music and the guitar.

A sad day, but a day to think about Les, he played music until he was 92 and 100 years from now will be remembered as a pioneer in the industry. He had a long life we should all be so lucky, I just hope I can still play as I continue to age.

my awesome earth science teacher jammed with him every month in nyc in the 80s or something awesome like that
