A sad day with the passing of a musical legend. I will never forget buying a Tobacco Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard and thinking how cool it was that I owned the same guitar that many icons like Jimmy Page used. Well I was 13 at the time hehe.
I am guessing there will be a tribute soon with many musicians coming together to share not only their music but their stories of Les. I know I will be watching it.
Talk about a man who left his mark in this world. Les Paul left his mark not only over millions of people over the last 60-70 years but many future generations to come.
I hate to say rest in peace because that sounds so cliche. I think "Well Done Les" makes more sense to me. He lived an iconic life and I can't help but smile with the accomplishments this man made.

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Congratulations to <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/visual_cliff">Visual Cliff</a> our Artist of the Month for March 2012! Maurice had noticed that after all these years, they were never the artist of the month so we decided this would be a good month. Rob has been around Mixposure since the old GuitaristWorks days I believe so yeah he is a long time member!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Rob is in a few different projects but this one always blew my mind. This CD was loaded with high energy, in your face solid rock. Amazing guitar playing and tone and with Shane's amazing vocals and the rest of the guys, this cd is truly world class. Have a listen and turn it up!!!</span></p><p> </p><p><object style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" height="450" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="flashVars" value="radio_id=&song_id=all&band_id=7421&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=325&system_name=Mixposure.com"></param><param name="quality" value="high"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="src" value="http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf"></param><param name="flashvars" value="system_name=Mixposure.com&radio_id=&song_id=all&band_id=7421&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=325"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></param><embed style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" height="450" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="radio_id=&song_id=all&band_id=7421&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=325&system_name=Mixposure.com" quality="high" wmode="transparent" flashvars="system_name=Mixposure.com&radio_id=&song_id=all&band_id=7421&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=325" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed> </object><br /> <strong></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hey everyone!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Since Jim chose <a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/nigel_potter/">Nigel Potter</a> as the Mixposure Artist of the month, he asked me to put his interview back up on the main Mixposure Page.

Although they’ve displayed some serious success and found many fans to follow their shows, they’ve recently decided to follow their passion and spread their music outside the city limits. Their extreme passion for music is what allows them to pack up and go for it; their willingness to spread what they do for others to hear is their motivation for their unique sound and touching lyrics. Their sound incorporates many elements of the music from the alternative-rock genre while remaining completely original. Both poetic and down to earth, Southern Solstice has a knack for writing lyrics that will capture you on a deeper level than what you hear with most alternative-rock bands. You can hear many of their influences in their sound/lyric combination including Ray Lamontagne, Jason Mraz, Alice in Chains, Staind, Breaking Benjamin, Pink Floyd, Damien Rice, Mason Jennings, Jamie Cullum and Stone Temple Pilots, just to name a few. This is captivating music written and performed by real, down to earth musicians who care about sharing the soul and freedom of expression. Just listen.</p><p>Brandon Britton – Lead Vocals and Lead Guitar. Brandon is a former member of Louisville local band Signal Fading and has been playing music around Louisville for many years. He is the band’s driving force behind their recent decision to hit the road and spread their music.</p><p>Alan Beeler – Bass. Alan was also a former member of Signal Fading and although he is currently playing bass, he’s got an insane amount of talent as a guitarist if you’re lucky enough to hear him play.</p><p>Ricky Muzick – Drums. Ricky has played drums for numerous bands including Mungus, Heaven Hill and a Cleveland-based band, Worldly Descent. Watch him play and you’ll instantly tune into the passion he displays for both his instrument and Southern Solstice.</p>
