Yea I was listening to radio interview with Tommy Emmanuel about Les Paul and Tommy was playing at some event with Les. And Tommy was being Tommy and slowing down his usual performance and letting Les take some of the spot light. Well, Les actually got pissed at him and told him...next time I tell you go out there and play, you play like you mean it damn it.

Can you imagine a guy well into retirement age basically telling Tommy Emmanuel to bring it. Well Tommy did and as he described it he played all over him. But he also said Les pushed his performance up a notch and made it enjoyable, which he would not do without Tommy pushing his. Which is what Les was looking for.
