This
recently formed pop-jazz duo
features Tom Doyle, finger
stylist extraordinaire, who is
known worldwide for his
interpretation of big band swing
style jazz arrangements on his
guitar. The multi-faceted
talents of Sandy Cory create a
sound, include playing congas
and flute, along with her velvet
voice. She is influenced by the
likes of Norah Jones, Diana
Krall, Billy Holiday, as well as
contemporary blues singers.
Their music spans generations

to!

LES PAUL'S LUTHIER/GUITAR TECH/ENGINEER
FOR 45 YEARS
-
While Les Paul was certainly more
than a genius in his quest for his
ultimate sound, tone, and
understanding of music and the instruments
that it took to get there, for over
four decades he relied constantly
on Tom Doyle to make his guitars
whole again after he chopped them
to pieces in has mad pursuit of
that sound in his head. Most people
automatically assume that because
there is a famous guitar with his
name on it, that Les was a guitar
builder, tech, bench man, etc.,
and knew how to build, repair and
refurbish guitars. That just simply
was not the case... he relied on
Tom for that. Tom and Les worked
on countless projects over the 40+
years together and Tom is nothing
less than a walking/talking encyclopedia
about all things Les Paul, Gibson,
build specs, musical history, and
knows more about guitars of all
kinds than anyone you will ever
encounter alive today.
