1. I personally own a Les Paul guitar. It’s one of my most treasured posessions: innovative, state-of-the-art performance, high quality of construction, and an aesthetic masterpiece. I’m not a better musician because I play a Les Paul, but I know that the instrument is not going to be a limiting factor in my delivery.
   I also know that I possess a piece of history – the man who developed this guitar was a big part of introducing a sea change to the arts – he helped to make music accessible to milllions of people who would have never paid attention otherwise.
   My biggest regret? I worked in New York for ten years, and never went to the Iridium to see Les work his magic with one of his guitars in person.
