Iconically Wisconsin: Les Paul and Gibson Guitar Town

Is there anyone more iconic and pivotal for the music industry than Les Paul? Or more famous from Waukesha, Wisconsin than Les Paul? Hmm, we think not. Les Paul is the only person who is in both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame! Not only was he an incredible musician, but he was also the inventor of the solid body electric guitar, and shaped how we play and hear music today. Waukesha is not only his home town, but also his final resting place, and therefore the city has decorated so much of their downtown to honor his legacy. In this episode we sit down with Sue and Michael from the Les Paul Foundation to talk to us about Les Paul in better detail and share some stories of this iconic man!
