Russ Paul son of Les Paul died New Years eve at the age of 74. Sad news, article attached has a good bio of him.

I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet.

Russ besides the keeper of Les' estate was also a professional recording engineer.

The fruit didn't fall far from that family tree, quite a talented bunch.

Nice that they both followed successfully in their father's shoes.
