Les Paul & Mary Ford

[low_delta]

It amazes me that Les Paul was still around and playing, while virtually none of his contemporaries are still around. His first records were released in 1936, and he had hits through the early fifties, but there are so few musicians left from the late-fifties rock and roll era let alone earlier than that. Add to that his innovation and invention, both musical and technical. I didn't know he invented the neck-worn harmonica rig.

Here are two videos of Les Paul and his wife, Mary Ford. The first shows his multi-track recording. The second one showcases Mary Ford.
