Check out this forum:<br />http://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/index.php<br /><br />If nothing else you'll come across some great photos of all the usual suspects playing their Les Paul. I particularly liked the series of photos showing Eric Clapton playing Mick Taylor's bigsby burst as he sat in with John Mayall his old band mate and blues mentor at the Grande Ballroom. Cream was on their Goodbye Tour and had just finished up their concert at the old Olympia (hockey stadium with terrible acoustics). It was just a short cruise down Grand River to get from the Olympia to the Grande.<br />The reason I'm prattling on about this is because I was fortunate enough to be in the crowd at the Grande that night. I'll never forget it. Oh yeah...RIP Les Paul.grphxman1https://www.blogger.com/profile/05468350417201792404noreply@blogger.com
