Bucky was a true master at his craft and brought joy to many. I just learned of his death and that of his wife’s one week later. My sincere condolences to his children and grandchildren
Well definitely ... You joined Ellis Marsalis, Mr. Bucky ... 😭 A big thank you for your music, your great talent, the happiness that you brought me. I adored (I still adore) your gypsy jazz which inspired me so much in my last book "Le fauve".
I had the immense pleasure of seeing Les twice at the Iridium Ballroom. You didn't have to be a fan of his style of music to have a great time. Everyone always left with smiles.
The great Bucky died Covid's victim on 4/1. A great loss for all of us who love jazz and the music in general. Luiz Felipe Oiticica from Rio de Janeiro (Brasil)
Les Paul is my number one musical hero. He knows his way around the fretboard and a crowd. His crowd work is so entertaining to watch. Every video I see if him he is jolly and joking with the crowd. His style of dress fits perfectly with his personality. Before I stop sucking his guitar I must say, if I had the choice to resurrect him and make him immortal... Or solve the world Peace problem, I'm choosing to bring back the picker.
