So long Les Paul

Sad news: Guitarist and music innovator/inventor Les Paul has died at 94.

The guy was seriously the Tom Swift boy genius of popular music, inventing not only the solid body electric guitar, but also multi-track recording. A brilliant, brilliant man. And a damned good guitarist, as is seen in this vintage video with his then-wife Mary Ford (granted, he's miming here).
