2009/08/14, Les Paul, 史上最重要的吉他手之一在紐約病逝, 享年94歲.
Keith Richards: "He actually taught himself to play guitar in order to demonstrate his electronic theories. All of us owe an unimaginable debt to his work and his talent."
Paul Stanley: "The name Les Paul is iconic and is known by aspiring and virtuoso guitar players worldwide. That guitar is the cornerstone of a lot of great music that has been made in the last 50 years."
Henry Juskiewicz: "He was a futurist, and unlike some futurists who write about it and predict things, he was a guy who actually did things."
Les Paul對搖滾樂的貢獻, 不僅是在1949~1962年間與妻子Mary Ford一同錄製的暢銷專輯上, 同時, 1952年與Gibson合作而推出的Solid-body Electric Guitar: Gibson Les Paul Series Gibson Les Paul Series更被稱為是"paved the way for electric music made the sound of rock and roll possible"; 此外, 包含在吉他彈奏技巧上的創新與錄音技術上的突破, Les Paul都扮演著絕對重要的推手角色.

[Fearless 之後] 泰勒斯首張同名專輯發行
Taylor Swift於2006年發的首張同名專輯上週在台灣正式發行, 這件事情滿有趣的, 她的"首張"專輯卻是在台灣發行的第二張專輯...
事實上, Taylor Swift的第一張專輯發行時便已廣受好評, 當時的她年僅16歲, 聲音裡聽得出對音樂的熱忱; 第一首歌"Tim McGraw"的前奏似乎是貫穿整張專輯的樂句, 仔細聽來, 幾乎每首歌都會有這段樂句穿插, 能這樣運用而不會像在聽類似的東西, 小女孩確實的展現過人的創作實力.
懶得打太多字, 聽歌比較重要.
因為我也很喜歡Tim McGraw, 所以趁機放一下...
