Les Paul invented the electric guitar while working at a hamburger stand

He had built a PA system out of a telephone and his mother’s radio but then needed to get his guitar louder. Interesting interview on Letterman:

Also lots of great videos on YT of famous guitarists sitting in with his band in NYC. What a great player!

Beyond the technical genius and great musicianship, I love how high the moon. Such an incredible song.
