Spotted a bunch of 78s records for a couple of dollars at an estate sale today (to go with my now-working 78 player I got from my neighbor).

I am back home going through them, and am pleased to see a Dinah Shore, a King Cole Trio among them.. when I see a record reading "Les Paul"... uh, oh yes that is The Les Paul...!

It seems to be an early 50's record on Capitol label, an instrumental on one side, "Walkin' and Whistlin' Blues", a duet with Mary Ford, "How High is the Moon" on the other.

Can't wait to clean it up and play it!

That's a good find. Les Paul rocks. Way he plays he's ahead of the times.

The Utube of "How High...' has Mary and LP do the song with the tape recorders helping with the other parts. Lots of swing.
