Legends of Rock: Billy Gibbons & Jim Wysocki on the Genius of Les Paul

Jim Wysocki, mayor of Mahwah, NJ, first met Les Paul in 1981, and the two quickly became close friends. In a serendipitous turn of events, Jim shared his story with Billy Gibbons and Benny Goodman at the Les Paul Museum, where he now serves as the caretaker of much of Les Paul's legacy.

I have never, in all the years I’ve had KZbin, commented on a video, until today. I teared up at the end watching this. What an amazing story of friendship. The fact that people can not only touch but actually play guitars, cables, and amps that belonged to Les Paul truly aligns with his spirit and personality. Having Mr. Wysocki tell the stories himself is just priceless. There is no dollar value you can put on any of the items displayed there. Art, especially music, is meant to be shared. I know of so many collections that are locked away in someone’s house and are only displayed to the owner to feed their ego. I am really happy to see Les Paul’s historic artifacts being shared with people who truly appreciate his legacy and worldwide cultural impact. Growing up in Venezuela, I fell in love with the guitar after seeing a Les Paul, and I now own several. Next time I’m in the area, I will plan a visit to the museum to pay my respects to The Man. This collection couldn’t have landed in better hands. Thank you for sharing this us Benny, and to Mr Wysocki for keeping the legacy alive, (and to Mrs Wysocki for not throwing history away! 😂)

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ cheers to you. that means the world from all of us.

[@chadro_g1145]

You aren’t the only one! He got me at the “I found you” part too. I wonder if he really knew what he’s meant to all of us, all music lovers, and thus to the world? I wish I could have known him, and been pushed to learn to play by him as well! Maybe I’d be a lot better than I am lol!

[@nathankellstadt412]

I'm right there with you. What did me in was when he pulled out the mailbox! This was sooooo good.

[@TheNeuroticGuitarist]

@@nathankellstadt412 so glad it made you feel the way WE all do on the other side of the camera. 🙏

[@lagardesign]

The part that really got me was that, for the first copy, he meant the actual manuscript for the book. What an amazing gesture. And the mailbox! Holy crap, I didn’t see that one coming! What Les Paul created went on to become not only amazing musical instruments, but also objects of veneration for many-art pieces that became cultural staples, transcending societies, geography, and cultures. His invention of the solid-body electric guitar revolutionized the music world, giving artists new creative possibilities and inspiring generations of musicians to push boundaries. I read a comment here from someone that just started playing at 60. I applaud you, sir. It is never too late to allow more art into your life and music into your soul. If you own a Les Paul, there’s a little bit of his soul that resonates around you every time you pluck a string. It is just such a magical instrument, and there’s no other way to explain why we are so drawn to it. The power of music never ceases to amaze me. Les Paul became such an icon and ambassador of goodwill. Even now, though he is no longer with us physically, his legacy lives on in every note played on a guitar bearing his name. He wasn’t just an inventor; he was a visionary who transformed the way we experience music. His influence isn’t confined to the past but resonates in the present and will undoubtedly continue into the future, as both seasoned musicians and newcomers alike pick up a Les Paul guitar and create art that moves the world.

[@tomcoon9038]

I'm 61 y/o and JUST learning electric guitar for the first time. I know just enough about prominent names in the industry to be totally awed at this video! When Jim pulled that mailbox out I was blown away with feeling of awe, chills up my spine, and a tear in my eye! This was incredible! BTW, I just saw Billy perform here in Syracuse NY a couple months ago. So much respect!

Awesome! I met Jim back in 2010 and he use to tell me about all this LP stuff he had. I knew it was going to be a daunting task getting it all somewhere to display. Im glad Mahwah created a permanent spot in the museum for all to see. This is extra special for me as I grew up in Mahwah and was fully aware of Les. My father in law was part of the "jazz" scene and was friends with all the players from Bucky Pizzarelli to Lou Pallo. I got to meet a lot of them before they passed away. It's become an era etched in time. Thanks for posting this. This was really special.

I'm glad to hear the story of the white guitar that I've seen in the background of so many of your videos. I recognized it as having the hallmarks of Les's handiwork the instant that I first saw it. Jimmy's an awesome, generous guy, just like Les was. I laughed my butt off when they pulled the mailbox from it's hiding place. Les knew that Jimmy would find it one day. I imagine that Les was laughing his a$$ off as he hid it there. Thanks for sharing.

[@capnstevoanythinggoes]

Thank you for this video of part of Les Paul's past history. Billy Gibbons is one of my favorite pickers also.I just put 8's on my Les Paul Custom for the first time to explore the feel and sound. I've been an advocate of light strings since at least the mid 80's when I played 8's on my Fender Stratocaster, (which had double humbuckers instead of three single coils, and string lockdowns with fine tuners at the bridge end). I fell in love with the Les Paul sound back in '69 when I first started playing guitar. Listening to Allman Brothers while heading up the Florida Coast in the wee hours of the pre-dawn mornings to surf at Ft. Pierce or Sebastian Inlet from Hollywood, Florida. I finally bought my first Les Paul Studio model in 1991, and I loved that guitar. When I got the Les Paul Amber Sunset Custom in the beginning of 2018, I also bought a full stack Marshall DSL100H to play through, (not UK made, but as close as I could afford at the time). She still rocks. I watch as much on Les Paul as I can find.
