Les Paul was a great guitarist and inventor but he was also an excellent entertainer. I saw him several times during his weekly gig at Fat Tuesday's in NYC and was always blown away by his sparkling on-stage personality. I always felt that he was delighted to have an audience and that he felt compelled to give them all he had. I always left the club happier than when I went in, which, for me is a sure sign of a master at work. |
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 |
