Welcome Back!

Welcome back everyone!

A lot has happened this summer as far as music is concerned. We remembered that historic festival in New York (you might know it simply as Woodstock). We also mourned the passing of a legend: Les Paul. We had a chance a few years ago to listen to an interview with him as he talked about the birth of the electric guitar and some other great accomplishments many probably don't realize were from his great mind. Don't forget, Les Paul was from Waukesha. You can see a sign on Hwy. 164 as you enter into Waukesha. It's been there for years.

If you haven't had the chance, go down to Discovery World and wander through the Les Paul exhibit. Not only was he instrumental in putting the exhibit together, he also donated much of his early equipment. You have the opportunity to pluck and strum some of his old guitars, explore electric guitar prototypes, and even see the birth of modern recording and dubbing. Check it out -- http://www.discoveryworld.org/lespaul.php. There are articles and an extensive biography. Just think -- without Les Paul, what would music sound like today?

In the world of classical music, a few "new" Mozart pieces were discovered. Read about them here: http://news.aol.com/article/two-new-mozart-piano-pieces-unveiled/598656. It's always fascinating to find something from someone so great.

Keep checking back for updates and new musical musings. Have a great week!
