Les Paul (Lester William Polsfuss)
(June 9, 1915 – August 12, 2009)

Paul is credited with many recording innovations. His early
experiments with
overdubbing
(also known as sound on
sound
 delay) effects such as tape delay, phasing, and
multitrack recording were among the first to attract
widespread attention.

His licks, trills, chording sequences, fretting techniques,
and timing set him apart from his contemporaries and
inspired many guitarists of the present day. Paul is the
only inductee in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
and the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

Part of Portland’s popular culture for more than a century, the
Rose Festival has its roots in tradition while its programming
is both contemporary and nostalgic. Foresighted city leaders
started the festival during the first decade of the 20th Century
in order to put Portland on the map and brand it the ‘summer
capital of the world.’ Little did they know that more than a
hundred summers later the Rose Festival would be world
famous for its amazing, award-winning events, as well as
serving as a community leader for celebrating values like
volunteerism, patriotism and environmentalism. In 2010,
the Rose Festival was finally acknowledged as Portland’s
Official Festival by proclamation of the Council.
