You're electrifying. Thank you, sir. *bow*

[Actual birthdate = June 9th. Figured I might as well get on the job while I was thinking of it, plus this way there'll be plenty of congratulatory messages when he drops by KVR on the 9th -> as he usually does <- (meffy is joking about that last bit)]

Happy Birthday LP.......
well what can I say, I 've always liked Les Paul guitars (and their imitations) better than the fender type ones.
Much more creamy sounding, leass clangy and easier to play!

farlukar: *nod* Earlier I was looking at photos from his 88th birthday bash, and he looked great. Better than some 60-year-olds I've met. A lively man!

He still does phone interviews from his home with DJ's at AM740 here in town. Amazing nice man with even more amazing talents.

Those solo/melodies of his along with Mary Fords vocals just leave me stunned every time.

Happy B-Day you humble axe man!

LP is also responsible for inventing multitrack recording, probably as big a contribution as the Les Paul guitar. Here's to you, Les!

I'll go hug my '76 Les Paul Deluxe. I worked as a portrait artist in an amusement park my senior year in high school to buy it. Horrible job, but any amount of trauma is worth a guitar like that.
