[Spridgets] Les Paul dies at 94

[Jim Johnson]

A friend is a professional fund raiser who tried to get Waukesha to start a
Les Paul museum year ago. Local government was too dense to see the value of
it. Ah, well....
I suppose every town has the same myopia.  Last week I was in Okemha, OK,
the birthplace and childhood home of Woody Guthrie. Amazingly, they let his
childhood home fall apart to where there is nothing but a foundation left.
The local museum has about 30 feet of display that could have been done by a
kindergarten class and the city seems to not realize what a tourism treasure
they have. Myopia....   Dumb!

Cheers!!
Jim
