When George first heard a Les Paul and Mary Ford multiple guitar and vocal recording back in 1950, he made it his life’s goal to learn how to play the guitar in that style and to master the recording processes that Les used to create his sound sound. George first met Les Paul back in 1951 and they became good friends for over sixty years. He has spent valuable time with Les (and his 1950s engineer Earle Davis) in learning as much as he could about Les’ recording processes, his equipment, and his characteristic recording and playing style. Their association and exchanges over the years fostered a lifetime of friendship and mutual respect for each other. Mastering that, he created a duo with his daughter Laurie DuPuis, an accomplished vocalist.
