April 3, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 5 Glen Rock Les Paul and Mary Ford retrospective presented by John Koster Tom Doyle and Sandy Cory presented a sound-alike retrospective of the music of Les Paul and Mary Ford, two of the top recording artists of the 1950s. The program was held March 24 at the Glen Rock Library. “If Les Paul (were) here in person, you wouldn’t notice him, because he was a very modest and unassuming man, but he would want to talk to anybody who was interested,” said Doyle. Doyle custom-made some of Paul’s guitars and was a close friend and acolyte during the later stages of the Mahwah guitar virtuoso’s later career. Paul died in 2009 and was active until very near the end of his life. Cory sang some of the most popular songs of the Paul/Ford partnership as Doyle accompanied her on the guitar. Cory sang so deftly that listeners who remembered the duo on 1950s radio could be transported back in time back to childhood. The program, sponsored by the Friends of the Library, was well attended and drew warm applause.
