A  LITTLE OF GENE'S CAREER

Gene's apprenticeship as a sound engineer began under the man responsible for inventing modern multi-track recording, his father, Les Paul.  As a teenager, Gene played drums in his father's band.  Backing up "the old man," as Gene refers to Les, took him to some interesting places, from Alaska, South America, Asia, Europe, and Vegas to Rudi Valee's Hollywood home, wallpapered with photographs of his favorite singing star, himself.
