On Saturday, June 8, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. The Mahwah Museum is hosting The Les Paul 98th Birthday Gala at The Trustees Pavilion at Ramapo College of New Jersey.
I attended the 97th Birthday Gala last year with a former student and it was excellent. Last year's raffle guitars were donated by Rusty Paul, Les's son. We particularly enjoyed the Trio and Nicki Parrott, the ultra cool bassist.
The Gala will include live music with Bucky Pizzarelli, Lou Pallo, and the Les Paul Trio, a silent auction of Les Paul memorabilia, and a live auction of Les Paul guitars and other music memorabilia. Wine, hors d’oerves, light fare and birthday cake will be served, and a raffle drawing for two autographed guitars will be held.
These events are part of Mahwah Museum’s exhibit “Les Paul in Mahwah: A Tribute” which will run until June 2013. For information on these and other events, visit www.mahwahmuseum.org or call 201-512-0099.
At this time there isn't a link for ticket sales on the Ramapo College Berrie Center web site. I'll post when I find tickets to be available. It will be a great night out. See you there.
