We got to see him there some years ago.  It was real special. He even stopped and talked/joked with us for a minute.

I regret never having seen him when I lived in NY, but I'll be there in July, and maybe I'll stop if he's still around..!

I've been to NY twice in the past 10 years, and passed on Les both times, once for cost (he gets like a $40 cover--stupid me), and once because of a prior engagement. Hope I have a reason to get there again while he's still performing. Jeez, he's older than Don Pardo (but Les is only commuting from Jersey, not Arizona)!

Just read his wiki bio--it says he is Steve Miller's godfather, and Les gave "Maurice" his first guitar lesson. Wow--wonder what the connection was?

sure, that'd be great.  Even if we don't go to see Les, we should have a drink somewhere.  I'll msg you.

I was working on the opening riff to Xanadu (seriously!) but can't seem to channel the RUSH awesomeness.

after you end recording, it should show you a shortcut URL with a little play arrow next to it

No such luck. Maybe it's 'cause I'm European. :)

I just read that they're going to extend the LP Doodle for another day in the US!  Did anyone catch Rachel Maddow tonight doing it?  You can also type on the keyboard to make notes, and chord more than one note simultaneously!
