Total legend. I met Leo Fender once and couldn't get over the fact that I was looking at one of THE two guys
(the other being Les). I kept thinking "I'm shaking the hand that,  without which, there would BE no Buddy Holly, no James Burton,
no Dick Dale, no Jeff Beck, no Jimi. THIS is the indispensable man." I'll never forget that. Got Les's autograph as well. They were
giants.

Gene's tribute to his father.  This video shows dad's journey to his new sound which led to a extraordinary string of hit instrumental
songs and eventually to the collaboration with Mary Ford and greater success as a duo.  It also includes dad's personal view on his
invention of the multi-track recorder. For all things, Les Paul, visit the website at   Welcome To Les Paul Remembered By Gene Paul.

In April 1898, Buffalo Bill Cody made a recording called "Sentiments on the Cuban Question." 
It isn't the easiest recording to hear every word, but the tone and cadence of his voice are quite remarkable.
This video contains the audio in its original format.
