Wisconsin native & pioneer of electric guitar, Les Paul, dies.

Les Paul was an American jazz guitarist, inventor, writer and musician. He was a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which "made the sound of rock and roll possible." Paul was a member of the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

And he was from Waukesha, WI. Les was 93. Rock & Roll owes this man a debt of gratitude.
