A true legend.  A music lovers loss.

So true, what a life!

Godspeed Les!

A Giant has fallen. A huge presence in the music world.

As far as the modern music scene it would be hard to find another who had as much impact as Mr. Paul.

How many of you know about his accident and the fact he had his right elbow permanently fixed at 90 deg to continue playing guitar?

I made it a point to see him play last time I was in NYC.  He played two shows every Monday night in Times Square at the Iridium Jazz Club.

Great show.  He was a "dirty old man"  :D  and will be missed.
