This week we salute the legendary Les Paul (real name Lester William Polfus). He is remembered as one of those who was responsible for designing the flat-body electric guitar in the 1940s, and Les Paul guitars are still being made. As a bit of a guitarist myself, I have always admired his playing. This was probably his biggest hit, recorded in 1951 on the Columbia record label. Together with his wife Iris Summers (AKA Mary Ford), they recorded a string of hits. The records were produced using two tape recorders - and How high The Moon featured 26 tracks of guitar and 26 tracks of Marys vocals. A superb record. :-)
