I had my Parker Fly with me at a gig in NYC, when back stage I met Les Paul. He had never seen one, and he admired its radical choices.

So we found a nice big permanent sharpie, and Les Paul signed my Parker Fly.

Les was known for that. I heard a story of him doing a signing and these two guys came and one had a Gibson Les Paul for him to sign. He turns to the other guy there and he said he didn't have a Les Paul, but he had a Strat. Les signed that too and told him "there, now you have a Les Paul".

That’s totally rad. Bummed I never got to see Les play. At least I got to see Dick Dale a couple times.

That’s amazing! From one of the original innovators to one of the most recent.

That is an absolutely amazing story, thank you for sharing it!
