The Les Paul Trio: Fat Tuesdays, New York, NY
Christine Natanael, Reflex, November 1991
I WAS IN THE Gramercy Park section of lower Manhattan, entering a black door under an awning labeled "Fat Tuesdays." I was on a pilgrimage of my own, to see the man who revolutionized the way we think about music. I was going to see Les Paul.
