1960's Welcome To Wyoming Sign


Back in the 1960's when you drove to Wyoming you would see this Welcome to Big Wonderful Wyoming sign. These signs were replaced, but it's fun to remember that way it was.

Les Paul & Mary Ford

In the early 1950's I was fascinated with Les Paul's use of reel to reel recording equipment. Of course I fell in love with the wonderful music created by Les Paul and Mary Ford, but it was the recording equipment that made the biggest impression. I still have reel to reel recorders that I like to play with; and I still love that great music. Enjoy this clip from 1953 featuring Les and Mary performing "How High The Moon." John
