I have just one of his albums, that Chris gave to me many years ago. Suz really loves that album, and last night we discovered he is just so much more of an artist than as we knew him.
Lyle shares his stage with another 10 musicians that really put out both a full and intricate sound at the same time. The focus of the night was constantly shifting between Lyle performing in more of an intimate story teller style to conducting the performers around him in a big band country blue grass gospel blues music style.
It was really funny to look over and see Susan bopping her head to a little bluegrass ditty with a big smile on her face.
He really is an entertaining performer, and absolutely worth seeing again. He's a very thoughtful performer with great subtlety in his guitar playing and voice. We really needed to be close to appreciate his talent.
Suz and I arrived late to the show, and were lucky enough to pick up some great seats ten rows back, front and center. The tickets were left at the box office by a couple that couldn't use them, so we scored them for free.
A great way to spend my birthday, the fact we had such great seats at no cost, and Susan really enjoyed the performance made the night just that much better.
I think my favorite part of the night was the knowledge that Lyle is a huge Ducatista!
