***UPDATE***
There appears to be some controversy surrounding the rumored David Wilcox breath-holding record in a hot tub(See post below, 11.25.06). I have been told that Blind Lemon Jefferson held his breath for sixteen minutes in a horse-diving pool while passing through Asheville in 1923. Now that is just spectacular. If anyone can provide further information about these two talented breath-holding musicians, or would like to challenge Mr. Wilcox, let us know and we'll see if a breath-off can be arranged. There are no longer horse-diving pools, as they have been ruled unethical, so obviously there will be no challenging Blind Lemon's record.

I too have heard tales of Landry's incredible underwater breathing capabilities.
I heard that Jimmy swam the entire French Broad River--upstream!!
Swimmy Landry.
I've got $100 that says Jimmy Landry can hold his breath longer than Wilcox anyday...
