I got to take my wife and 2 other ladies to see Lyle and his Big Band in August. What an amazing show he puts on ! I agree with the post above, he pays homage to every band member, tells about their family, and gives them their moment to shine. I have never seen a musician love on his band as much as Lyle.

I got the thrill of spending an hour with him on his tour bus a year ago. He is helping a mutual friend and performer get out his second CD after 45 years. Lyle thinks of him as a mentor, although Lyle has now put out like 16 albums. He is our investor group's biggest hope to put this thing out. He's a great listener, and just an all around great guy to hang with. He took me to sound check after our talk, and introduced me to every member of the band and stage team, and then during the acoustic practice, told me how he wrote a bunch of the songs. It was such a fun afternoon.
