More Info:

Private Lester William Polsfuss (a.k.a. Les Paul) reporting for duty on the Armed Forces Radio Service! This is Les fresh out of his Army with the classic Trio of Cal Gooden, Clint Nordquist and Tommy Todd, performing with the Frank DeVol Orchestra on the California Melodies program that aired on the AFRS from June to October 1944 (plus some bonus tracks from the Elgin's Watch Christmas Party Special and two episodes of the Andy Russell Show). Les is not a superstar yet-the hits started coming about two years later-but one listen to his guitar playing here and you know it won't be long.
