Just got through watching the PBS special on Les Paul. He is kind of
the antithesis of some of the rockers we talked about a few weeks back
who are shot. He ended the special with a rendition of "somewhere over
the rainbow" that had as much or more emotion to it than any vocalist
I've ever heard do it. DOn't know how long ago they shot the special,
but he looks to be at least deep into his eighties.

Wow!!!!

I have only seen a few minutes of this, and so far it is just terrific!

Yeah, great stuff. I believe he was 92 when it was shot, but I could be
wrong.
