    I would go to Memphis to be baptized in this song. Forget Elvis. This one is vintage Lyle and I've always admired the musicians that surrounded themselves with superior performers like Lyle with their accompany. The support people are the best and really deserve more credit. Saw Lyle in Victoria, B.C. a few years ago (acoustic tour) and his support was spot on ! Viktor Krauss on Bass and John Hagen On Cello and the four black gents (sorry I should know their names) were my stars. Great performance.

    Saw Lyle & his Large Band in Columbus, Ohio this summer.
    19 ppl on stage
    It was a really great evening in the "short north" and his music
    makes you both want to sing & dance to his really varied selections.
    Ny favorites??? His Texas Swing.
    I....Lovett!!!

This is called 'good time stuff baby'! This is why we play

    I heard this backup of LL with his large band at Red Rocks in Denver. GOD what a show. The gentleman in the hat has a bass that was out of this world. Yes I have heard them with Francine also and LL puts together a large band that is a joy to experience. Ahhhhhh,,,, red rocks in July of 2019. cant wait.... all joy and peace to those that read this but be there... its a bucket list event.

    @3catmandu California declared its self independent before the news of the Mexican-American War reached the few colonists. Hardly anyone in Alta California was behind the revolt. After 26 days, American troops reached Alta California, and the "revolution" was halted in the aspiration of joining the United States. If you can call that a Country, then sure... be proud of it.. But to be a country, technically, you must be recognized by other major countries. California was never.
