PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger evidently has avoided serious injury for the second time this season. Roethlisberger is expected to be sidelined a few weeks after suffering a mid-foot sprain Sunday in the Steelers' game against the Oakland Raiders, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Guitar Legend And Innovator Les Paul Dies. Guitar legend Les Paul died Thursday at age 94. Paul is credited with changing the music industry with the electric guitar. Paul and his wife, Mary Ford, practice in their Oakland, N.J., home on Dec. 20, 1953.
In 1957 the Les Paul Custom came to market with its dual PAFs. A three-pickup version followed. Beginning in the early 1970s, Gibson has released dozens of variations of the LP, and the guitar has only grown in stature. Oddly though, in the early 1960s the Les Paul fell out of favor due to issues of weight and cost as well as a perception that it was a bit old-fashioned.
