LES PAUL AND CHET ATKINS
Joel Selvin
Sunday, September 9, 2007

This is the album that brought Les Paul out of retirement 31 years ago. The guitar great is still going strong, playing every Monday night in a Times Square basement at age 92. But his re-entry recording is still dazzling, a brilliant conversation between two highly personal guitar virtuosos. "Chester and Lester" is more a Chet Atkins album with special guest Paul, although the inclusion of two previously unreleased tracks - "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise" and "You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me" - shifts the balance some. Atkins is restrained, fanciful, almost delicate; Paul is verbose, witty and given to fluttering flights up the fingerboard. The fun these two fellows were having is contagious.>>

i know the guy who does his sound every monday nite and he asked Les to sign my pickguard, "Squack, keep on picking, Les Paul" Cherished and on the wall of my tv room. Havent been down to see him, my bad. :cry:

The only thing I have on my wall is a signed testimonial from high school that says, "To a very fine athlete, Jesse Owens." If you have a problem with that, then take it up with Jesse!

What did the rest of your letter say to Mr. Owens? :P[/quote]

You're dissing Jesse Owens. Wash your mouth out with soap.

An apt description.

This ties into another thread but- My mom actaully did that to me when i was about 6, anybody else. These dazes she would be arrested, correct?

Me too around the same age.

We got it (for language) at that age. I have used it for the same purpose, it is not painful neither is it dangerous, just unpleasant, so it seems to be more acceptable than spanking etc. I test the soap and there are some that are more mild than others and it is never the first resort.

[quote="Bruce Kritzler"]There are some trainers (and parents) who are worrywarts about heart attacks from too cold ice water baths. I personally believe this is hogwash, and have taken ice baths as low as 48' with water up to the waist.

Hogwash, indeed! Those porkers are so well insulated.....

The first year I jumped in the river with the local polar bear club on New Years morning, the water had skim ice on the surface and the air temperature was 15 F.

Currently the conversation revolves around the affect this has on muscle development. In the process of development the tissue "tears" and repairs itself with new muscle tissue. A very crude explanation I know.

I have no first hand knowledge of possible benefits of applications of cold (for the record, I am highly skeptical), but this statement I can respond to.

Once a muscle fiber is cut or torn, it does not regenerate, regardless what you do. It will heal with a fibrotic scar. Always.
