Shared table with Jeff Salmon and became good friends. 1988 Returned to Fat Tuesdays, shared table with Jeff Salmon again and Les signed my Les Paul model guitar. Still have my guitar and the friendship of Jeff Salmon. Could not ask for more. Les is gone. The world is a better place because he was here. I am Dan, A great fan. 1952 Saw Les & Mary at the Chicago Theater and became great fan.

I know Les mentored Steve and this program is designed to encourage children to learn how to play all kinds of instruments. Check out Dylan Brown and KRF on line.

Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby-and many other peers-viewed the genius of Les Paul as something special and VERY American, yet he was ignored by supposed 'experts'. It just goes to show what happens when awards are determined by a commitee of celebrities. It’s amazing to me that an icon of American music was passed over by the Kennedy Center.
