The only real way to say happy birthday to the man and thanks for his legacies---the music . . .

wow, this is the first performance I have heard of Les Paul... and just with that song, he is among the best guitarists I have heard.

the sound he got from the guitar, specially the technique... is quite close to the type of sound I'm after (the name of the tone is Honey Strings). I guess a Les Paul guitar was the best option
