2. Multitracking or multiple overdub?
someone split this hair on NPR... he would just record on top of what he'd previously recorded on a single (or was it double?) track recorder.

3. Well, Les Paul invented it
And he called it multitracking, so I guess "multitracking" is what it is.

5. He is unreal
Did you check out that new PBS show on him? It's a great documentary.

6. Where do you think I got the idea from?
It really educated me about his work.

Totally blew me away

8. He's the most important musician of the 20th century...
his impact was stronger than that of even Armstrong, Stravinsky, or Cage

7. Brilliant!
And relatively funky for white people in the early '50s.
