Kinda a hobby of mine.....late at night....go to the petrol station.
Look at the sleepy eyed 'whatever her hair color is that day' thingy behind the register and ask her a couple of questions......
Tonight I was notiiceably startled........
Question 1...how old are you anyways?
Answer....22. Ok, I'm more than old enough to be her Pappa.
Question 2...Do you know who Les Paul is?
Answer....'That guitar guy."
OMG......we have a runner.
Question 3.....Know where he was born?
Answer.....Wisconsin This gurl could get laid in this town......it was Waukesha....about 10 miles south of Milwaukee.
You know, the town that made beer famous. Or vice versa.... Also Liberace's home town....just ask George.....his brother.
Question 4...and few pass this test.......Remember his wife's name? Bomb.
It was Mary Ford......
His ex-wife and multi track singing hon, who made millions of records with him in the 50's.
Well, she came close........2 outta 3 ain't bad for a chick with fake titis and no access to Google for 5 minutes.....LOL.
Now if she started to ask me a quiz about current faves......I would flunk in seconds......so no double standards here.
BTW, his real last name was Polsfuss. June 9th, 1915.
Born in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
And that, my friends, is not quite the rest of the story. He invented the electric guitar.....or so the argument goes.
Geez.......one of these dayz one of these gas station gurlz is gonna get 3 outta 4, and I am gonna have to put out.,....
Just for a teaser......you can google his name and get thousands of hits......here is a version of the kittyman's favorite song to make him cry......Over the Rainbow.
Ya know, where the sun shines all the time and kitties run all day.......
Les and the Trio........Over My Rainbow.....it's not just for bluebirds anymore.
And yes, the ending still makes me cry.
