You can hear Leo from 11:50 to approx. 12:05 speaking about the Stratocaster. :!:

Hi Khashoggi: take a look at what Wiki says about the copyright on that song and then work out how much of a royalty bill you just ran up! :lol: :lol: :lol:

To Leo Fender: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

This day 100 years ago was a fortunate one for all of us!

My birthday present to Leo: a fire extinguisher. He'll need it for all the candles...

Cheers - C

If it were not for Mr Fender, we wouldn't have this great site to talk about the man's creations. We wouldn't have the famous Stratocasters and Telecasters, to name but two fine Fender instruments. The world would be a much different place, if not for him. Your legacy lives on sir, and will for a very long time to come. Thank you.
