The Guitar Gods - Jeff Beck: "Apache" / "Sleepwalk"

 with Les Paul...came the popularity of the guitar, that still is probably the most favored instrument to this day.....I remember the day I heard..."How High the Moon."   We were at the Wellworth in downtown Framingham, and it blew me away.... We all went to the moon with the new sound...and Les Paul went down in history!

And now Les Paul and Mary Ford as it sounded, when we first heard it.....it Wowed us!  Listen to the Grapelli touch
