i've heard lots of les paul (and mary) records (i have a lovely 45 box set), but i'm terrible with titles. unless it's like duh obvious like vaya con dios. i kinda like all the 50's stuff. i guess i'm saying i don't have an individual fave. but i love the music. all that youtube stuff too. so beautiful.

whispering / tiger rag / bye bye blues are on youtube, along with most of the singles.

before the Beatles, even before Elvis, les and mary had 11 top ten hit songs and 36 gold records.

"Smoke Rings" was my introduction to Les and Mary (over a decade ago now), so that one.

three years pass...

Oh man, where has "I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)" been all my life? I know it's something of a standard, but this version is making me all melty inside.

Turn off that alt-rock and get real. https://t.co/o5z4wl51EQ
