Milwaukee’s
interactive Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin is an ideal setting for
displaying the work of a man who dedicated much of his life to progress
through technology. “Les Paul’s House of Sound” is organized by a
nonprofit organization called Partnership for the Arts and Creative
Excellence (PACE), whose board of directors includes such familiar
names from the Milwaukee entertainment industry as producer Mike
Hoffmann, musician Rich Cook and promoter Gary Reynolds. Opening to the
public at 9 a.m. on June 22 and running through Jan. 31, the exhibit
will examine Paul’s influence on popular music through a host of
artifacts from his personal collection, including guitars, recording
machines, his record studio console, photographs, sheet music and
drawings of his inventions.
A small exhibit dedicated to the
guitarist/audio engineer has been on display at Cleveland’s Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame since 2004, but Discovery World can boast of the
largest exhibition associated with Paul to date. PACE hopes to use the
interest generated by “House of Sound” to establish a permanent Les
Paul museum in the Milwaukee area.
