I loved watching this. Perfect guy to create all this.
The best thing about it was hearing his incredible playing during his prewar/pre electric acoustic period and then hearing the same stuff with the pickups. His musical thought was perfected way before the pickups. The electric guitar was just to get him heard. I hear so much of Django his his playing.

This is a Great Video.
A Must see for all the kids you see in Guitar Center frailing away on a Gibson Les Paul Custom. Maybe they could learn some respect for the great instrument they have in their hands and not be prone to destroy it while trying it out.
I only hope his family doesn't get into his treasure of instruments and inventions now that he is gone and scatter all of this history to the four winds. I understand they had moved in once he passed.
I hope you can Rest in Peace Brother Lester.
