    That fan said something very true. Watching these videos for so long gives you the impression that Lee is someone as close as a good friend, and it's actually very heartwarming. Sometimes I see him in other channels across youtube and my first reaction is "hey, my bro there!".
    Have you all a great weekend.

      Lots of us have the same filling. After 3 years of great videos at his house, his yard, his dogs, sharing his stories & music and these amazing road trips, we are like a big family living his life, thru his Cámara, and making good friends from all over the world.

    The original Bowl was built in Edward Drummond Libbey's Civic Center Park in phases from 1952 to 1957 by a community effort led by the Ojai Music Festival. The shell was designed by architects Austen Pierpont of Ojai and Roy C. Wilson of Santa Paula. Originally known as "Civic Center Bowl,” and "Festival Bowl," among other names, it became known as "Libbey Bowl” in the 1980s after Civic Center Park was given to the City of Ojai and renamed Libbey Park.
    Inaugurated by Aaron Copland at the 1957 Ojai Music Festival, Libbey Bowl has hosted several of the world's most influential artists. In addition to serving as the home of the internationally acclaimed Ojai Music Festival, Libbey Bowl has housed important community and cultural events including the Storytelling Festival, Illusions Theater, Fourth of July Celebration, Memorial Day Celebration, Mexican Fiesta, and many others.
    By 2008, Libbey Bowl had suffered from over 50 years of wood rot, termite damage and heavy use. These damages proved irreparable and the Bowl was in danger of being condemned. In the fall of 2008, the City of Ojai and the Ojai Music Festival began working together to build a new Libbey Bowl, Ojai architect David Bury was hired to create a design that evoked the aesthetics, intimacy, and harmony with nature that characterized the original Bowl, as well as to make critical design improvements backstage and for audiences.
    The Ojai Music Festival, with support from the Ojai Valley Service Foundation, raised over $3 million from its patrons, the Ojai community and donors beyond, to partner with the City of Ojai in building the new Libbey Bowl.
    On June 4, 2011 Dawn Upshaw, eighth blackbird, Claudio Ragazzi, Octavio Brunetti, and Michael Ward-Bergeman inaugurated the new Libbey Bowl, joined by over 100 of Ojai's own musicians on June 5, 2011 for a free community Day of Music, produced by the Ojai Music Festival.

    I love this little venue, I used to live in Ojai, right next door to the park, a stone's throw from where you're filming this. I was assistant sound engineer for 9 years at the yearly classical festival which goes for 3 days right there in Libbey Bowl. They've upgraded the stage and seating area considerably since those days which is nice to see. The locals are really appreciative of good music and you'll find them to be a great audience. Ojai is a pretty magical little town, I hope you get to experience some of that. Enjoy!

      @@randyschiffer3265 Having confirmed that it is a computer, I am going to continue with my initial hypothesis. His new phone may interface well (if that term is still in use) with other Apple products and, perhaps, computers. But it is actually noticeably harder to hear and sometimes has fuzzy video (in motion) and scary coloring in front of the computer when he plays music IF you are watching on a lower end phone as we do. That's life in the high tech update world though.

    Lovely! It's about the same size as the Ford, my favorite outdoor venue in LA (not including Brennan's, Home of Thursday Night Turtle Racing, in Venice 😂)
    We thought about coming, but Ojai is a road trip - and lodging is pricey there.
    I hope the audience has at least half the fun we had last evening. Of course the music was excellent, and Lyle is so funny! The interactions with the rest of y'all reflected that. Even the pauses were making me laugh!
    It's clear that, like the solos Jim and Brad do, what happens changes with each performance. That creates a special connection with your audience.
    We couldn't come up with an appropriate genre for what Lyle does. Country? Americana? Rock? I conclude that Lyle is a genre of his own.

    Nestled near the rear of a beautiful oak grove in Libbey Park, Libbey Bowl has been described by artists and audience members alike as being an almost enchanted venue. The seamless blend of its natural surroundings with the modern production amenities of this facility makes the experience of attending an event in Libbey Bowl a magical experience. With a fixed seating capacity of 973, every seat has an excellent view of the stage. In addition to the fixed seating, there is also a beautiful lawn area overlooking the bowl that can accommodate between 200-300 audience members lounging on their picnic blankets.
    The Bowl hosts the renowned Ojai Music Festival each June, as well as a live commercial concert series, a storytelling festival, and a wide range of free community events, films, and talks.
