The Sounds of Silence

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Legendary guitarist and inventor Les Paul, who pioneered designs of electric guitars, has died of complications from pneumonia at a New York hospital, his lawyer said on Thursday. He was 94.

What can I say, this man is a legend and has had such an influence on the youth and music of my generation. Almost every guitar hero has played a Les Paul Custom like mine pictured here. No other guitar sounds quite like it. We will miss you my friend but your memory will live on forever in the music you helped everyone make.

I'm still sitting on the sidelines waiting for a decisive move up or down in this market. See you tomorrow.
