Tribute:
Les, I saw you at the irridium a little after christmas time and,you were the most warm hearted guy I had ever met.As soon as you saw me you said,"Hey!",then you happily signed my les paul for me!Then,i asked if I could get a picture with you,and without hesitation,you motioned me over,and made a picture that i will remember forever.Then you signed an old les paul and mary ford record called "nola" from the 1950's.As soon as he saw it,he shouted out in exitement,"Did you know that was a big hit in china!"Me and my dad both laughed then les said,"They called me from a temple in china and told me it was a hit!"Then when i went to shake you're hand you kind of hesitated for a few seconds then shook my hand.That was the last and only time I had ever met you les,and I will always treasure that moment in time.
