• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

RIP Ed Bickert

What a wonderful, gentle player. He had such a profound knowledge on chords and harmony, a superb accompanist.
If you don't know him, do yourself a favour and check him out!

I think this is his son interviewing him on several topics. Great storyteller!

Beautiful player, lovely flowing lines..always put me in mind of Jim Hall; which isn't a comparison, more of a compliment.

RIP indeed.

Condolences to his Loved Ones.

He was from my hometown, Toronto. Saw him at a club in the 80's and he was playing a Telecaster, with tone controls set to a mild bass tone, with little treble. Very fluid player who made it look so easy.

RIP Ed
