From what I have read: When the great Django Reinhardt (a hero of Les Paul's) visited the United States in the 1940's (he toured with Duke Ellington), he was in a taxi with Les and asked him if he could read music...to which Les Paul replied "No".....Django exclaimed that he didn't even "know what a C is!" and that he just "played" the notes!
