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... |
This is from "The Vent" in my local Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper. It is a daily column where people vent their thoughts. It can be viewed online at AJC.com: "Interesting: Les Paul, who had a thousand times more influence on music than Michael Jackson will be laid to rest quietly and with dignity. This is a comment on us, not the deceased." |
