Les Paul passed away this week. Now, I didn’t know Les Paul. I’ve never played any of his guitars. I don’t even know how to play the guitar. But I’ve always much admired his creativity, perseverance and passion. He wanted to make more noise, so he designed a guitar that would let him do that. He loved playing and performing in front of an audience, so he showed up to his favorite jazz haunt every Monday night until shortly before he died.
He wasn’t afraid to show his excitement about what he did for a living.
Not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to express their creativity and passion in their work. How luck are we, at A Squared Group, to be part of that small contingent of folks who are able to do just that?
We are inspired by people who think outside the box, who make what they need when it doesn’t exist, who share their vision with those who are interested… We have much in common with them. We have much in common with Les Paul. Just not the guitar skills. R.I.P.
