    Lyle Lovett can not be pigeon holed into just one genre of music, quite a multitalented singer-songwriter and storyteller.

    For all the young musicians looking in and wondering how to get to the level of a Leland Sklar…here it is on full display, you can’t buy it or snort it, nor can it be taught…you either have it or you don’t and it is called passion or pure love of music. Here is a man who has been out all summer long on a very demanding tour schedule and is now at home, listening, sharing and explaining to us all who tune in, the beauty of the musician and story teller he just played for all summer long! Thank you so much Leland!! It is a delight to be able to log in and enjoy your love of music with each post you present to us. I know that I am not alone when I say, please, please keep them coming…you are a gift to us all.

      Minimum Is !0,000 Hours For Becoming Proficient
      “…A common theme that appears throughout Outliers is the "10,000-Hour Rule", based on a study by Anders Ericsson. Gladwell claims that greatness requires enormous time, using the source of the Beatles' musical talents and Gates' computer savvy as examples.The Beatles performed live in Hamburg, Germany over 1,200 times from 1960 to 1964, amassing more than 10,000 hours of playing time, therefore meeting the 10,000-Hour Rule…” ✘

    Hi Lee. Bob Love here. Good to see your video today. You looked so wiped out your last video from the hammock and you didn't post one yesterday but I know now you were at Paul Reubens memorial. If you hadn't posted anything today I was probably going to give you a quick phone call. Lyle is sure keeping you and Russ busy! And I know you both enjoy working with him so it's all good. I'm looking forward to listening to some Lyle music now. Have a great day Lee and when the time is right we'll talk about the next Norm's book signing event and decide if it should be before the end of this year or perhaps better the beginning of next year. Take care my friend !!!! Bob

    Henry Strzelecki, the songwriter of Long tall Texan, was on the A list of session bass players in the 60's and 70's. Played quite a bit of sessions with Chet Atkins and Roy Clark. Also played in the band on Hee Haw. I believe he was killed in Nashville when he was struck by a car while he was walking along the road.

My condolences for the recent loss of several of your friends. Stay safe.

    One of my all-time favorite albums since the mid-90s. Beginning to end. The pocket in “Long Tall Texan” is so deep that I hear Stockton Rush was thinking about charging people $250,000 to go down and see it. “Private Conversation” is in my LL top five. I wish that Lyle would work up Large Band arrangements of it and “Fiona” (another top-fiver) for the next tour. We can dream.
    Glad that Paul received a send-off worthy of a king (which many of us considered him to be) and that you got to be there to celebrate your dear friend. He made his mark in this world and then some.

    A night or two ago -

    Upon the world below -
    Her forehead is of Amplest Blonde -
    Her cheek - a Beryl hewn
    Her eye unto the Summer Dew
    The likest I have known-
    Her lips of Amber never part -
    But what must be the Smile
    Upon Her Friend She Would Confet
    We're such Her Silver Will -
    And what a privilege to be
    But the remotest Star -
    For Certainty She take her Way
    Beside Your Palace Door -

    The Stars - the Trinkets at Her Belt -

      Kate, 🌕😊 The first time I saw one of these I really thought it might crash into the earth. I hadn't known about or been expecting it, but it was gorgeous. It was at dawn when I saw it. It was so big, and was mostly salmon colored, and orange yellow seeming round the rim, appeared to almost have yellow wispy flames. The topical relief was so clear. I thought, "Wow! This might the last few moments." ...and I was already dressed up. Was on my way to the GE plant in Denver that morning, with the rest of the vocal jazz ensemble. Senior high year. A bus was taking us. Anyway I saw that moon before the bus got over to pick us up. That was the tightest security situation I ever encountered, going into the GE building, and the longest maze of carrols. Surprised they didn't want to lock up
      our panty hose as well. They were pros though. They flawlessly matched all of us back up with all our private stuff on the way out three hours later. We were the lunch time entertainment. I sort of wished I could've given the locker lady my pantyhose on the way in... It was very steamy in there.
