filkertomIncredible sadness. One of the true gods of both guitar making and rock and roll, Les Paul, has passed away at the age of 94. Hell of a musician, hell of an inventor, all-around genius. Rest well, sir, and thanks.

has a bunch of 15 minute 1950 NBC radio shows he did by transcription, taking something highly produced and making it sound like those 15 minutes were real time.
