Tribute to Les Paul
Unless you’ve been on another planet this past week, you’ve probably heard about the Passing of Les Paul last Thursday at age 94. Here is are some links that truly show who the man was and what his achievements were. Arguably best know as one of the innovators of the solid body guitar, he was also the pioneer of Sound on Sound recording (overdubbing) Multi track recording  and a great guitarist and musician. Here is a list of links visited in the show:

And the show closes with an excerpt from Les Paul and Mary Ford’s biggest number one hit from 56 years ago that is most aptly the wish for Les Paul Vaya Con Dios (May God Be With You).

On this episode of With A Voice Like This:

At Any Rate
Almost the entire show is about rights, how artists can and do use them, how managers use them and how big business uses them as well.

  • A great example of how artists can take control of what’s happening comes from Paul Natkin’s blog about a Van Halen Contract regarding photography and shooting the band.
  • The Joss Stone “Let Them Eat Cake” (my nickname) YouTube video on Artists Paid blog [EDIT: site is no longer viable, I’ve removed the link 06-12-11]
  • Here’s the Joss Stone interview with Chelsea Handler [EDIT: The YouTube account that posted this interview has been removed, so I’ve removed the link 06-12-11] that I spoke of in the show but didn’t have the link for. it’s also on YouTube.
  • My music at Music Alley on  Mevio and on CD Baby
  • Article on TorrentFreak and RIAA’s views on DRM
  • Article on ars technica about the RIAAs views on DRM going to make a comeback.
  • Annie Lin’s excellent article about the Bing jingle contest

News You Can Use
This is a follow up to the last episode’s segment on TalentTrove and how Director of Marketing Jaime McGee responded to that segment in a positive way and how impressed I am with it.
