    Only met Lyle once, in '83, but what a mensch. I coulda hung with the guy for a week, and he made you feel like he'd be into it. Also a murderous, cutthroat chess player.

      Yes, Panufo, although he often rushed off at the end of gigs, I imagine he would be really good company, providing you were not too fawning. I spoke to him once after Shepherds Bush Empire gig - 'Imaginary Day' album. Asked him when a new solo album would be coming and he told me and a group of friends; 'It's in gestation - about 9 months ' with a wry smile. Panufo, thanks for the word 'mensch' which is now going to become part of my vocabulary !

    I last saw Lyle with PMG in ‘02. I had tickets to The Way Up in ‘05. I was in a low spot in my life and as the date approached, I passed the tickets on to my kid brother. It was many years before I finally got the memo that I’d already missed my last chance to see PMG. To then learn of Lyle’s passing some years afterward was jarring beyond description. San Lorenzo, As Falls Wichita, Close to Home, September 15th… are timeless, and I never tire of listening to these testaments to this musical giant. Thanks, Lyle.

    What an awesome homage to this incredible piece and an even more incredible composer. I'm sorry that I only just now discovered this video. I have used this Lyle Mays album as a marker for a critical time in my life (it was released around the time I relocated from Milwaukee Wisconsin to Brooklyn New York). I heard it at Tower Records way back when it came out in 1986. I didn't have the money to buy the album at that time. Several months went by and I bought the cassette tape by the end of 1986. I bought the vinyl sometime later. I was so turned on by this album I went and bought it for several friends! What's funny is that I knew so little about Pat Metheny. I didn't know Lyle Mays was an integral part of the Pat Metheny Group (how naive of me). Anyway, I hope you get this feedback, albeit 6 years later. Thank God this was one fine musician who didn't bury, but rather cultivated his talent into something that can't be easily mimicked or trivialized! Thanks!!!
