Very coincidental that Les Paul died today, yesterday I read quite a bit about him at Wiki, I was researching the Steve Miller Blues band LP was Steve Miller's godfather!
Les Paul is the one responsible for Steve as a child playing the guitar, then when he graduated from high school they went to live in Texas and T Bone Walker became his teacher.
I clearly remember as an early teenager in the 50's hearing How High the Moon on BBC, it became an enormous hit, I loved it, it was such a different sound.
And the bloke who introduces the 'How High' youtube clip was another old friend, Alastair Cooke. Consider Dick Dale's playing when you listen to this.
Sorry, threadjack--anyone find the new topic?
Nope
There it is!
