"There's always someone better than you are" he says. If there's anyone better than Les, they're keeping it a secret out of respect for this phenomenal human being.

Les told me as a musician to, "know your audience." I grew up a half an hour away from his hometown. Met him once at Milwaukee's Solid Gold McDonald's where he autographed a picture for me. Attended a concert of his later in his life. Was the first person through the doors at the grand opening of the Les Paul House of Sound at Discovery World at Milwaukee's lakefront, to include a tv news interview. Got a dvd made of him and I playing guitar together (green screen) and later sadly attended his wake there where I was handed the memorial card by his son Rusty. Paying my respects, on my way out, placed a pick in the flower vase at the foot of his casket and did the same at his grave in March 2020 in Waukesha.

[@shellygill5029]

I've been fortunate to meet Les Paul. I worked at a truck stop near his home and Les would come in to get a coffee and sandwich to go. We chatted now and then when I would wait on him. I good him that I remember watching him and Mary Ford perform on tv when I was a kid and always enjoyed them. He was a very nice man and it was a day day when I heard that he had died. He was extraordinary.

[@buddylobos5277]

A business client of mine, same age as Les, grew up next door to him. They were close friends. He said Lester was a brilliant guy. And,, he had double Ph.D's from a very exclusive university. I didn't know this history until, over lunch one day, he asked what guitar I played. I said, the best guitar made a Les Paul. Well, that's what opened the gates. Great interview. One of the best of Les ever. Best advice ever at the end. GOD willing, the hard work never ends. God blessed Lester Polsfuss.

Thank you, Joe. Great interview. I have the "Chasing Sound" DVD. It's over 10 yrs old & I still play it, along with my "Cnester & Lester" & Les Paul & Mary Ford compilation CDs, frequently. I've met Greg Koch a few times (a friend's brother played drums for him in the Tone Controls) and we talked about meeting Les at the Iridium after a Tone Controls show in NE Wisconsin. If you've ever watched any of Greg's videos, you know there was never a dull moment in that conversation!

Les comes off a lot different here than I have seen him in the past...he can be somewhat of a braggart (rightfully so) and a little abrasive...but here he's just so kind and patient. What a life. THIS is a person that a Martin Scorsese should make a movie about! Thank you, Joe...this is one of the best things I've ever seen. (And I'm a Fender guy!)

I have also detected a bit of ego behind the man, but as the old Yogi-ism goes, "it ain't braggin' if you can do it." Les certainly did it, at least as good as anyone else, but almost always, better. FAR better!

He was still playing guitar very well into his 90's, that alone is amazing.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Hi Shawn.... Les was going to give me a guitar for the museum before he got sick. Afterwards we got together once again when we did this interview but I didn’t get back to N.Y to go to his home and get the items he wanted to donate before he passed. Not long after Les died they had a auction in L.A of everything he had... everything!!!!! Being our museum is in Nashville and Chet Atkins was a friend of mine I wanted and bought the white Les Paul Les played with Chet on the Grammy winning Chester and Lester album along with his early gold records etc. Not the Les Paul guitar on the album cover but the one he played on the record.

You’re probably right Shawn... I knew Chet very well. He was truly a friend.I met Les a few times but not enough to call him a friend but enough to know he was a great guy and very funny but so was Chet, just a different sense of humor.Chet was very dry.

My dad died 6 years ago. I said to him once when I was just 16 years old “Dad im going to buy Les Paul” He replied “Son a guitar like this is not a young man's guitar it's something you have when you're my age” His Gretch was collecting dust on the wall before I even thought of touching his guitar I plucked up the courage finally to pull it off its hook on the wall. It wasn't my sort of style I can remember dad telling me “Guitar is not antique its a tool and if you won't play it someone somewhere would really love to play this” I sold that guitar and applied for a credit card and I managed to buy my Traditional Les Paul I have now bought when I was just 22 years old. Love this guitar never thought I’d have one of these before 30 let alone his age.

Quote I recall was that I read back in the 80s (GP Log ?). he set up a guitar on a stand at the foot of his bed as a kid so it would be the last thing he saw before going to sleep and the first thing he saw when he was awake. Worked :) After all the great players, I grateful Les put the stamp of approval for Epi's. '07 Std Plus bought new and Lp Jr in tob just del'd less than a month ago.

Great video!!! Les was such a genuine person. I had the privilege to meet him at the Irridium, got him to sign my Chasing Sound video case. I had a conversation with Rusty that night, too. Great memory! If you want to know more about Les Paul look up lespaulfromstarttofinish on facebook. There is a friend of Les, Jim Wysocki, that has a bunch of very valuable Les Paul-owned guitars and other meaningful objects. He has a program that he puts on. At the end of the program I was at, they let attendees handle (and PLAY) the artifacts. I was astounded to have one of Les Paul's own Les Paul Recording guitars in my hand. Plugged in and played it (truthfully, it did not play well, having decades-old strings on it)nowhere near as well as Les, but knowing it was in Les Paul's hands and then mine was a big thrill for me! Jim is a terrific guy and gave away items, too. He had a bunch of signed contracts from gigs that Les did, that were given away. I have an Alnico magnet from a stash of materials Les kept for winding pickups. Really cool experience! RIP Les Paul! You are my hero!

[@rmelin13231]

To Joe Chambers and the entire staff - what you have assembled (MHOF) is so vitally important to the history of music, it's impossible to put into words. It needed to be done, and you are the ones to have accomplished it. And for that, the world should be grateful. (I know I am). I'm probably about the same age, so I also grew up embracing this music which has influenced me in different ways. When I was young I didn't have enough money to buy many albums, but I'd thumb through the racks at the local record store hours on end, and make mental note of the musicians who were given credit on the album liner notes. (45s were different, all we could learn was the song writers, which I also admired and always made note of). So for many years I have been aware of Joe Osborne, Pig, Larry Knechtel (LOVED his stuff, as a budding pianist), and you know the rest, no need to try to name them all. To hear them now, those still with us as you began this project, recount the tales in their own words, is priceless. If I were able to travel, I'd surely spend time at the MHOF. If I were wealthy, I'd surely donate handsomely to your cause. As it is, I may just add a codicil to my will. Saying 'thank you' just doesn't seem to be enough.
