    "Exclusive" Ted Nugent On Les Paul!

     

    Ted Nugent is from my home State of Michigan. I asked Him for comments on the passing on Les Paul. I was sent this official statement from Ted Nugent.

    Also, as I did with Bruce I asked Ted a series of questions. He is on a remote hunt and will be getting those to me soon, I will post them for you.

     

    Greetings from Tedquarters.

     

    I was jamming on one of my cherished 1959 Les Paul guitars the other  day, and ferocious, fluid, adventurous sexy guitar licks danced with and  from my fingertips. Mr. Paul's guitar does that to and for all of us  guitarslingers, and for that we salute, thank and honor the founding father of  electric guitars. I met Les and exchanged guitar stories with him on a few  occasions, and he was not only a musical visionary, but truly a wise, kind and  down to earth gentleman of the finest order. He knew I loved my Gibson Byrdland  guitars and shared his admiration for those classic Gibsons as well. With but a  cursory review of the earth moving music created on Les Paul guitars, all music  lovers must admit that our lives would not be as full and rich without the  great man and his magnificent instrument. I will play magic notes for Les  forever. God rest his ingenious soul.                  --Ted Nugent
