“In light of insistent public demand, the organizers of the upcoming “100th Birthday of Les Paul” have issued more tickets (although, by this time, they’re probably all sold out, too). The grand event would be held on June 9 at New York City’s Times Square and feature legends like Joe Satriani, Steve Miller, and the Les Paul Trio.
