RIP Les Paul. I guess there's nothing more to say except "Vaya Con Dios."

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
oops, wrong thread
Rashied Ali, too. No link, though.
I am loving this "26 track" performance of Les Paul's How High the Moon: [link]
I just bought Missy Higgins' new(ish) album. I'm in love...
That is a fantastic song, one of my fave breakup songs. (I have the album too - bought it in the States, oddly enough.) I find Secret insinuates itself too.
Oh my brain.
Curious about how accurate this is: "Did Woodstock Kill Rock āNā Roll?" [link]
My opinion? No one would deny the mass marketing of youth culture and the resegregation of popular music that happened post Woodstock. But to claim Woodstock was the cause, or even a major cause, is reductionism at its worst. There were an awful lot of other things going on at the same time.
Thanks Jon. I thought it seemed like overkill, but musical history is kind of a deaf spot for me, so thought I'd seek opinions from people who know something about the subject.
