Farewell Guitar Giant


I finally get to meet Les Paul.

That's right, Les Paul passed today. The most precious experience for this fake Robert was playing a Les Paul electric guitar for the first time. It's some of the most fun you can have dressed. If you don't know much about this modern day guitar and recording genius, yes, people, Les invented solid body electric guitars and multi-track recording.

Check out this obituary.

Sign Petition, Save Endangered Echo Chambers!


They're finally listening to old Robert J. out there.

Here's a link to a petition to save the Capital Records echo chambers.

For any of you who haven't read my earlier ramblings. These echo chambers are an important part of our civilization's musical culture. So, please sign up to help these defenseless rooms designed by the late great Les Paul. I know they're not as cute as seals, but they your need help.

Les Paul, Thank You, from the Inventor of Rock and Roll



I got to admit this Kayak is trickier than I pictured. But don't you worry, this Robert can swim.

I just learned a very important fact about those endangered Capital Records echo chambers. These magnificent sound rooms were designed by Les Paul.

This is as close to a shrine as you get in the grimy record world of L.A. It deserves national monument status, not 93 condos.
