It's Friday

[waltesefalcon]

I'm sitting in my empty classroom on a virtual day, drinking my coffee, reading Tolkien's translation of Beowulf, perusing the BCF, and relaxing to Les Paul.

 

[DNK]

Sounds like a early 60's beatnik kind of day

 

[Basil]

Groovy!

 

[waltesefalcon]

More like 40s kinda day with Les.

For some fun (and easy) trivia, does anyone know what kind of guitar Paul was famous for playing.

 

[GregW]

The one in the video above looks Gretchy to me.

 

[longbridgehealey]

Pretty sure he played a Gibson the majority of the time

 

[Boink]

Les Paul was fantastic... though I rather preferred Wes Montgomery. [who also used Gibsons]

 

[waltesefalcon]

Chet and Les discuss Les's guitar and a few of their biggest hits in this song.

 

[GregW]

That was funny when they both took turns "I didn't do any of those songs."

 

[GregW]

I wonder if Les had any inkling back when his namesake was being developed that it would be played like this.

 

[Basil]

I wonder if Les had any inkling back when his namesake was being developed that it would be played like this.

Hope he finished the chicken before he donned that hat.
