Or more famous from Waukesha, Wisconsin than Les Paul? Hmm, we think not. Les Paul is the only person who is in both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame! Not only was he an incredible musician, but he was also the inventor of the solid body electric guitar, and shaped how we play and hear music today. Waukesha is not only his home town, but also his final resting place, and therefore the city has decorated so much of their downtown to honor his legacy. In this episode we sit down with Sue and Michael from the Les Paul Foundation to talk to us about Les Paul in better detail and share some stories of this iconic man! Learn more about the Les Paul Foundation here; https://www.les-paul.com/Check out our Know Your Wisconsin feature on Les Paul and Gibson Guitar’s here: https://youtu.be/wNAPCvaYWSsThis Week’s Wisconsin Treasure is sponsored by BetterHelp and you get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/cabinpod!This week we are featuring Christiana Trapani and Door County Candle Company for their fundraising efforts for Razom for Ukraine!Shop Discover Wisconsin; Check out the Cabin Podcast merch and use code “CABIN” for a discount at; https://bit.ly/3PEtnFNSt. Germain; With the summer months winding down make sure to check out our list of must-see and must-experience events in St. Germain; https://bit.ly/3mxb5XFMarshfield Clinic; All of Us Research Program; https://bit.ly/3klM56EKnow Your Wisconsin: Beer Distributors: Role and Impact; https://bit.ly/3bIG6sn
