TheKhaibear Yes, that particular Les Paul is a thing of beauty. Must be a painful memory for Danny, it is only an inanimate object though and not as important as a human being. The fact that he smashed it doesn't really matter. He made beautiful music before it and after it.
The lyrics which were taken from a poem 'The dragonfly' 1927 make me think Danny was a bit like 'The Romantics' in history. They observed nature and wrote about it. A lot of his songs revolve around love and nature. Romantics are described as gifted, misunderstood and creative people who follow inspiration and emotion rather than standard ways in society. Sounds a bit like Danny.

This is so much better than the studio version. The lyric isn't great, but Danny's reverb drenched solo more than makes up for it.
