[Spridgets] Les Paul dies at 94

[Larry Daniels]

Fellow BE owner Michael Allsup from Three Dog Night sat in with him once and 
said the old guy was giving him fits -- trying to make him look bad.

I also heard on the Bob and Tom show that Jimmy Buffet sat in with him once 
and Paul gave him a hard time.  I guess they gave Buffett a heavy guitar to 
play and when Jimmy asked for a strap, Paul said not to bother as he 
wouldn't be playing that long, anyhow.  As I recall Paul called him 
something to the effect of "somebody named Jimmy from Florida" as though he 
was a nobody.  He either had a big sense of humor or he could be a bit of an 
ass.  Don't know which.
