i dig Lyle, never got the chance to see him. I have about 10 of his cds & find them to be very well recorded. Excellent songwriter, a couple of favorites are One-Eyed Fiona, If I Had A Boat, L.A. County, etc. Love the fact that Francine Reed sang in his Big Band. How about the fact that Robert Earl Keen was his college room mate? They wrote "Front Porch Song" together.
