I miss Les .I feel blessed to see him in theses videos being himself . Les was salty and real ..Amazing inventor , musician and song writer . Thx Chris for the vids.
JANUARY 18, 2021 LES PAUL AND JIMMY BUFFET LIVE FOREVER THROUGH THEIR MUSIC KNOWING ARTISTS AS LES PAUL AND JIMMY BUFFET ARE MUSICIANS WHO WE ALWAYS HEAR THROUGH THEIR SONGS.. IT IS IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE THE YOUNGER GENERATION ABOUT THE SONGS AND HISTORY OF LES PAUL AND JIMMY BUFFET SO THEY WILL APPRECIATE THEIR MUSIC THAT i THINK WILL BE EVERLASTING IN TIME.
I was at that show. Before we went, I imagined the possibility of Keith Richards or Pete Townsend or Billy Gibbons sitting in with Les. Instead, I got Jimmy Buffett. So... disappointed.
Sorry but I don't think that this does a lot of justice to Les P and I think Chris Lentz is culpable of gross misrepresentation as to what contribution or personality Les Paul had on the music industry. Remember you are talking about a guy who franchised his name to a million dollar industry for Gibson. Chris Lentz has come up with an awful lot of poor material about Les Paul - probably way past his peak playing ability in fairness - but I feel very far from blessed that he ever got the contract to sell himself as he did Today I would guess that there are well over 1,000 players in the world who are better equipped to take over from him as the standard bearer of Gibson guitars. If I am wrong - anyone - show me the clip which demonstrates why Les Paul deserves his name. It's obviously way below Joe Pass and then - well forget it - the guy is dead in the water. That is the reality of hindsight.
