Amercan Masters-WGBY 57 Springfield 9:00 and CPTV at 10:00.

That reminds me, anyone want to go the Iridium some Monday night and check it out?

Short answer: Iridium is a jazz club where Les plays every Monday in NYC ($40 a ticket).

It\'s in New York. It\'s hard enough for us to make it to the valley, let alone NYC.

I saw this Les Paul special on CPTV yesterday. I was amazed at the genius of Les Paul and that he is 90 years old still playing. Good for him. Would love to see this guy while he is still alive just to say I did but work ruins life.
