Over the last 18 years of his life, Les Paul -- inventor, musician, and rascal of a man -- phoned Chicago radio legends Steve King and Johnnie Putman each week, and spent an hour or so talking about his remarkable life. This book includes the "best of" over 60 hours of his interviews, as well as personal accounts from Duane Eddy, Charlie Daniels, Doyle Dykes, Tommy Emmanuel, Muriel Anderson and many more of guitar picking's elite. Readers will experience numerous "I didn't know that!" moments as they read Les's stories. (Did you know that he created the "chipmunk" sound that became the voices of David Seville's "Alvin and the Chipmunks"?) It's fun and fascinating reading about one of the most important men in modern American music recording.

Foreword by Duane Eddy

Max Armstrong s broadcasting career began at age 11 when he strung an antenna wire from his bedroom window to a pole behind the chicken coop. That was on Jim and Stella Fay Armstrong s corn and soybean farm in Indiana s Wabash River Valley. Max turned on the transmitter he built from a mail-order kit, and WMAX was on the air. Its signal barely covered a quarter-mile, and who knows if anyone was listening, but the seeds were sown. Although WMAX didn t last long, Max has been broadcasting ever since. As a boy, Max dreamed of working at one of the big Chicago radio stations, a dream that came true at age 24. But he couldn t have imagined that his 40-year career would also mean originating broadcasts from every state and more than 30 countries. Whether traveling to big farm shows or to visit individual producers, Max got to know remarkable people with compelling stories of struggle and of triumph. And now and then, he bumped into one of those colorful characters with an infectious zest for life who just makes you shake your head and smile. As you read Max s warm tribute to the people he met and the places he went, a few words of caution: You may catch yourself smiling, and perhaps tearing up a little, and you may have trouble putting the book down. With a passion fueled by the lessons he learned on the farm, Max has become, as the cover states, one of America s favorite farm broadcasters as he advocates for the men and women who feed the world.

This book contains 112 beautiful color photos of Michelle Obama's tenure as First Lady. For many of us, Michelle is our Forever First Lady. From the beginning, Michelle was unlike any First Lady the United States had ever had. Describing herself as Mom-in-Chief, she immediately began to exceed expectations as she used the power and visibility of her position to benefit children, women, military families, and those whose lives had been marginalized. She was a role model. She brought enthusiasm, optimism, and compassion to her job. She was a beacon of hope and courage. As First Lady, she introduced and carried out a number of initiatives that reflected her goals of enabling Americans, and people worldwide, to live healthier and more fulfilling lives. Her efforts complemented her husband s objectives of bringing change and hope to the country. These photos are reminders of the zeal with which Michelle approached her role, and of her brilliance, determination, grace, open heart and open arms. As Hugger-in-Chief, she wrapped her arms around young and old, offering encouragement and support, and sharing in the joy of the moment. Metaphorically, she embraced all of us.
