Les Paul Dead at 84

Grinnel and Siliab , Good to hear a story like yours, anyone else?

A few years back Les phoned a a.m. radio station up here in Canada,
I believe 740 on the dial, the station plays Big Band and Jazz.
The station host announced he had Les Paul on the phone and that Les agreed to a on the spot interview.

Good solid hour plus talk of his life and times...
Never had the opportunity to see him live though I have a few of his Lps.
Does anyone else at Audiogon think Les Paul and Mary Ford were about the classiest combo in the history of music?

I'm not going to wait for someone to say deed I do....
Deed I Do
still another reminder of how much i am becoming a fan of jazz guitar, after so many years of praising rock guitarists. i still love R&Roll, but the almost insane ability to closely imitate jazz piano on just six strings drives me crazy (in a good way). LP was a great example of someone who could really really play, as i discovered recently watching a PBS special on his life and career. plus i loved watching him fiddle around with his ampex reel to reel...
