Les Paul is known for (a) the Gibson guitar that bears his name; and (b) this pioneering work in developing multi-track (or as he called it, “sound-on-sound”) recording. But until I found this article at Flypaper, I had no idea that he was also a pirate radio broadcaster.

Booger Brothers Broadcasting? Yep. Have a listen.
