RIP Les Paul.

true genius. I don´t see it as that much "sad", he had a full life and did so much meaningfull things in his life, he died of 94. I mean it´s always sad when a good, important person dies, but I guess it was his time, not actually a "tragedy" I would say. To me tragedy is like a death that shouldn´t have happened

I think he also invented reamping too.

we are in debt to him.

Yeah, I hardly think he could've had many regrets (specifically about things he wished he had done) considering all he accomplished, and that's really the only time a death is truly sad IMO! (well, sad in one sense, it's still of course sad for the people who cared about him who live on)
