Re: Les Paul and the Les Pulveriser

Strangely, I've never seen Tom Dowd mentioned on LD.
Check out the DVD: Tom Dowd and the Language of Music (http:// 
www.thelanguageofmusic.com/).

There's quite a bit of Les Paul on it presenting his prototypes of  
electric guitar and his multitrack recording device (stacking eight  
Ampex tape machines and synchronizing them. Dubbed the contraption  
"the Octopus.").
