@anne5surf  you're welcome - I like your "folsom prison blues!"

R.I.P. Les - thanks for all the music. Glad I got to see (and videotape, and post on youtube) one of your performances.

That's a nice comment. I don't know if Les actually gets on here and reads the comments but maybe someone will pass that along to him. He must get that a lot.

does he teach lessons??

[upst8]

Not sure - I think he lives in New Jersey. I'm thinking he probably doesn't need the money!

Les Paul is a badass

i noticed he always opens his mouth while playing, it's like he's talking to his guitar, or he's attempting to transpose the sound into words. it's clear that he plays passionately and his music really suits his personality, unlike many other guitarists that are only concerned about complex techniques and showing off.

I keep coming back to this.. love how Les plays this sparsely, with so much feeling.

Never forget ya Les! Id like to think every time I pick my Studio 60s p90 Gibson and play a little something,maybe hes smiling down at me!
