- Listerine presents: The Les Paul & Mary Ford at Home Show: Alabamy Bound & Darktown Strutters Ball. One of their many 5 minute episodes. (from 1953?)
Excellent Listerine commercial in between songs.
Les says "wanna relax and do a song ... then goes into a frenzy of guitar acrobatiocs unheard of until decades later! haha
Les Paul pulling off every advanced technique in that one solo that every aspiring guitarist wishes he or she could do.
Les Paul stops bad breath 4 times better than any guitarist
Nobody really gives Mary props for doing all those harmony overdubs. Almost as impressing as the guitar work
Just an incredible guitarist, I mean seriously this is back in the early 50s , the electric guitar is still in it infancy and this guy is absolutely smokin
"Baby, I'll just relax doing this freaking amazing and difficult guitar solo."
Just your average middle aged couple of the fifties relaxing at home catching up on the chores.
I came here for the listerine commercial.
I like how so many people are watching these videos because of Google....
what is really impressive here is that the film is not "speeded up" he could actually move that fast
"Wanna relax and do a song?"
"I'd Love to!"
HOLY LES PAUL CUSTOM!!!!
The guitar Sitting on the table is in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame
What this man was doing was SO far ahead of his time... Most guitar players alive today would kill to play with that kind of speed and precision.
One of the greatest guitarists that ever lived!
Okay - these are commercials, but it should be remembered that Les and Mary made their albums in a home studio - Les invented mult-itrack recording. What he did in his home, millions would later do in recording studios.
Damn, Mary Ford was gorgeous!
The guitar is just as amazing, as the guy playing it. That solo, was completely radical for the 40', and the Queenesque, harmony after Les, by Mary Ford. Gotta love it. Been on a Les Paul kick lately, both the player and, the guitar. Got an early Christmas present, from my Wife. One like, the Black Beauty, Custom, that's in this video.
The toast is buttered.
I only ever saw him playing in his later years. I had no idea he was such a frigging insane player.
Holy crap.
They played and sang with multi tracks, which he invented, on Les Paul guitars, which he invented, back in the day I think before apps.
