    How embarrassing for you as the proprietor of a website detailing the deaths of famous people to not know that Les Paul died on August 12 and not August 19.

    With all kindness the post does not say he died on August 19th. The Post says”He died at Age 94.” On August 19th he was honored… However I changed the post somewhat to do away with confusion.
