Happy birthday Les!

Les Paul would have been 96 today.  :sad:

To commemorate the departed six-string innovator, Google has playable doodle on its homepage. Check it out!

Anybody out here ever get to play with Les Paul? He was kind and generous, smart and talented and a gentelman through and through.

I love that of all the videos I have seen of Les playing, even in documentary form, he's always playing larger body styles.
I don't recall a single one actually being played on a "Les Paul"

(don't let Cagey see the Bigsbys on those!)
