LES PAUL REVOLUTIONIZED the sound of theelectric guitar and pioneered innovative recordingtechniques used worldwide, but he never forgot hishometown of Waukesha, Wis.
“I was on top of the world…and it all began righthere in Waukesha. And wherever I went, I tookWaukesha with me,” said the 1988 Inductee to theRock and Roll Hall of Fame.
At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland,Ohio, Les Paul’s career, inventions and innovationsare celebrated in a special section dedicated to the“Architects of Rock and Roll.”
And this year, the musician/inventor’s accomplish-ments and loyalty to his hometown are woventhrough a special permanent exhibit at the WaukeshaCounty Museum. Les Paul: The Wizard of Waukeshatells the story of this remarkable musician, from birthto his death in 2009 at age 94.
The exhibition “goes beyond traditional exhibits byconnecting guests of all ages with his life story,including one of the biggest influences on his career– his hometown,” explains Kirsten Lee Villegas, pres-ident and CEO of the museum. “It’s like nothing elsecreated to honor him, because it focuses on who Leswas and how he thought, inspiring people to pursuetheir dreams.”
The 2,000-square-foot exhibit takes guests on anexperiential journey through Les Paul’s life, featur-ing eight chapters presented in the musician’s ownwords. A special section is dedicated to his mother,Evelyn Polsfuss, and to his wife, Mary Ford, twowomen who profoundly influenced him. Interactiveelements throughout the exhibit include a DreamWall, sponsored by American Family Insurance. TheDream Wall encourages guests to share their dreamswith the world, as Les Paul did.
One-of-a-kind artifacts and memorabilia, includingrare guitars, Les Paul’s personal belongings andoriginal inventions are also on display. Several valu-able artifacts on loan from the Les Paul Foundationare in the Treasures Gallery section. These artifactsmake The Wizard of Waukesha the most comprehen-sive exhibit of Les Paul’s life in the country.
“At one point the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.attempted to work with Les Paul to create an exhibit,but Les always wanted his legacy to be preservedand his story told in Waukesha,” said Villegas. “Theextraordinary feedback and support from our spon-sors helped make that dream a reality.”
Visitors to the museum and the exhibit can spend aday visiting other points of interest. A self-guidedtour prepared by the Les Paul Foundation followsstreets the young Lester William Polsfuss (Les Paul)walked and includes stops at the famous Club 400bar, where Les played, and his burial site at PrairieHome Cemetery.
The Waukesha County Museum, 101 W. Main St.,Waukesha, is housed in an 1893 castle-like structurethat originally was the county courthouse.

KEY GALLERIES
MILWAUKEE’S TORY FOLLIARD GALLERY, 233N. Milwaukee St., greets visitors to this month’sHarley-Davidson 110th anniversary gathering with aspecial exhibition, The Beast Within: Images of Animalsin Tattoo and Contemporary Art.
“The heraldic nature of tattoos has historically tiedits imagery to the symbolism of animals, “ notesexhibit curator Fred Stonehouse. “If one could arguethat tattoos constitute a sort of ‘psychic armor’ thenthis imagery and symbolism seems to make com-plete sense and the pervasiveness of it in tattoodesign is understandable.”
For the exhibition, the gallery in the Historic ThirdWard focuses on animal imagery in the art of tat-tooists and other artists as a way to think about thepossible correlations and overlaps between relatedpractices.
Large scale pieces from the renowned tattooer EdHardy, exquisite hand-colored etchings of BrionyMorrow Cribbs, boldly graphic paintings of NewYork tattooist Bert Krak and the Japanese-inflectedworks of Milwaukee’s own Jon Reiter are all be partof the mix.
At DELIND GALLERY OF FINE ART, 450 E.Mason St. on downtown Milwaukee’s East Townarea, visitors will find an exhibition of exceptional19th and 20th century American and EuropeanImpressionist paintings. Also on display is a collec-tion of World War I posters.

GALLERY (thepinkllama.com) which has anaddress of W62 N580 Washington Ave., but isentered through the rear porch across the street fromthe red and white pagoda. The gallery features fineart, accessories and more as it represents more than80 artists.

TATTOOS of Milwaukee icon at
Milwaukee Art Museum
THE MILWAUKEE ART MUSEUM might not be thefirst stop for visitors to the Harley-Davidson 110thanniversary celebration this month, but it certainlyshould attract many of them with its first tattoo artexhibition.
Tattoo: Flash Art of Amund Dietzel highlights thetenacity of an immigrant entrepreneur, and thevision of an original artist, as well as the enduranceof a craft that has finally come of age.
Known as the “Master in Milwaukee,” Dietzel beganhis career as a sailor, where he first honed his skillsas a tattoo artist. Eventually, covered in ink neck toankle, Dietzel traveled with carnivals as a sideshowand made his way to Milwaukee where he becamethe region’s premier tattoo artist.
Dietzel helped define the look of the “traditional” or“old school” tattoo, kept the practice alive throughtwo World Wars, and passed on the best practices ofhis craft to the next generation through the decades.
“This exhibition is a great celebration of aMilwaukee icon, so what better time to have it onview than during a time when we celebrate 110 yearsof another great Milwaukee icon, Harley-Davidson,”said Daniel Keegan, director of the Milwaukee ArtMuseum. “I am excited to expand the Museum’sboundaries to include tattoo art in our galleries.”
Tattoo is curated by David Russick, with guest cura-tor Jon Reiter, a local tattoo artist. Reiter has spentyears amassing a comprehensive collection of Dietzel“flash” (tattoo design drawings) and peripheralDietzel Studio material, and has written extensivelyon Dietzel’s life and career.

SO YOU THINK YOU’RE a good golfer?
Try playing Erin Hills in Erin (about 35 milesnorthwest of downtown Milwaukee), site of the2017 US Open. And then humbly report back toyour buddies at the local club.
All real golfers love a challenge, love to see howthey could do at those places where the touringpros play. This is one of those courses that not onlywill test your mettle, but your bravado as well.
However, if you’re used to less than four-hourrounds, recalibrate. Don’t even concern yourselfwith the “while we’re young” USGA pitchdesigned to speed up play. With a caddie (ErinHills is a walking only course; no carts to tote yourbeer) and even of you never have to search foryour ball in the tall, dense fescue, count on at leastfive hours to play.
Not only is Erin Hills long – it can be stretched tomore than 8,000 yards; for the Open it probablywill play at about 7,800 yards – but the distancesfrom green to tee are long and the elevationchanges are considerable. And if you stray off thegenerous fairways by eight paces on either side(my count), add another 30-45 minutes and, well, anumber of balls.
I’m told that by the time the Open rolls around thefescue will be thinned out so that a golf ball can befound and perhaps even advanced. In fact, when Iplayed Erin Hills during a US Open media event inwhich conditions were made to be Openesque,there was a troop of workers culling the fescue.But right now, assuming you can find your ball inthat stuff, the only play is a wedge 90 degrees tothe fairway.
A good thing about all of this beautifully pristinelandscape (650 acres vs. 110 acres at Merion, site ofthis year’s Open) is that it will be able to accommo-date as many fans as the USGA will allow. Currently, officials are counting on at least 45,000fans each day, but it probably will be more.
One local pro, who after playing Erin Hills recently,guessed that the winner of the 2017 US Open willshoot 8-10 under because of the “wide fairwaysand generally flat greens.” If that’s accurate, I can’timagine how difficult courses like Olympic,Merion, Pinehurst #2, Winged Foot, and Oakmontmust be where the winning scores in the mostrecent US Opens at those sites were +1, +1, E, +5,and +5 respectively.
So check your honor scores at the door becauseErin Hills is one humbling experience even at justover 6,400 yards, the distance the media played it.The green fee is $200 (more with a caddie) for thisdose of golf reality.
And after playing it, plan to get your tickets for2017 to see how real pros play a US Open course.Visit www.erinhills.com for details about thecourse, including an excellent slide show.
For a bit less difficult and exhausting test of golf,but one that is just as memorable, try nearby (lessthan 10 miles away) Washington County (262-670-6616, www.golfwcgc.com), or as I now like to callit, Erin Hills, Jr. It has a similar look and feel asErin Hills with lots of fescue, rolling terrain, nary a
