Les Paul To Be Honored

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Case Western Reserve University and Gibson Guitar will honor the extraordinary Les Paul with a weeklong series of events culminating in a retrospective of Paul’s life and legacy at Case Western University and an all-star tribute concert at PlayhouseSquare’s State Theater.

The concert will feature a litany of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees including Richie Sambora and Slash. Tickets are $30, $40 and $50 and can be purchased at the PlayhouseSquare box office (216) 241-6000 or by visiting www.rockhall.com

A limited number of Rock Hall VIP event packages (priced at $250 and $500 each) are available by calling (216) 515-1207.

Well, at least Richie got named before Slash lol...

This has been news for a while. I saw the hit in my GoogleAlerts about a month ago, consulted the calendar, and as the Fates would have it, I have to work on the 16th. All day. So, I filed it away in the "coulda been" folder and shut the drawer on that.

Then yesterday, The Fiction Mistress and Willow both called me. "Can we steal you away next Saturday?" I surely wish they could. Seeing Richie perform a song or two in an intimate setting...where he's more likely to be mingling afterwards than at other events...and I have to miss it.

The girls aren't quite sure if they can go or not, but they promised me they'd call me from the HOF if they do end up going. If they could get Richie on the phone with me afterwards... well, let's just say I'd have another child JUST so I could name it after them. Kidding. But I'd be forever indebted...And if The Goddess owes you a favor, you can sure as hell believe you'll be paid back in full!
