When my doctor puts me on a diet he also gives me a diuretic, and everything feels thinner - even my fingers - my wedding ring gets really loose for example. In fact, I figure most of the pounds I loose on a quick loss program are in fact losses in water, not in real fat. To make a pound of fat loss requires a diet deficit of about 3500 calories. That's around 15 hours of moderate walking or a big daily caloric depravation for a week. And on the diuretics, my lips feel thinner and extra sensitive, but they still work and I haven't noticed any real difficulty playing? Just my two cents worth folks, no flame jobs for lack of scientific data, OK?

Gary, why would you try to lose weight "too fast?" And why would your doctor give you a diuretic? Most people lose some water weight on whatever diet they go on, anyway, but since losing water weight is effectively fake weight loss, why bother? The usual recommendation is to try to lose about one pound per week, thus requiring about a 500 calorie per day deficit. 500 calories x 7 days = 3500 calories or one pound per week. -S- Aleks, I don't know if this information is on your copy or not, but I found out, via a NY Phil discography published last year, that the recording was made on October 14, 1958 at the St. George Hotel in Brooklyn. I can dig a bit further, since I have access to a full set of NYPSO programs for most of the 20th century, to see who was in the section at that exact point in time, but this was prime time for James Chambers and I would assume that it is him. The Philharmonic has an archivist, Barbara Haws, who can be contacted if you want to see if they have preserved any records of who was present at specific recording sessions. If you want to get in touch, I can get her phone number and email address to you. I'll post the result of my program personnel search tomorrow.
