Les Paul: The "Thomas Edison of Music"
Paul's 80th birthday is celebrated by featuring our 1992 interview with him. He's spent his life playing guitar, and invented the solid body electric guitar, overdubbing, reverb, and multitracking inventions that helped make rock and roll possible. Paul himself has stuck to jazz and more middle of the road pop. (Rebroadcast)
