Did you see him sing the America The Beautiful at the Ballpark last night? Him and a guy with a cello. It was awesome.

At the risk of sounding like that guy, I must admit I don't have a television.
Off to YouTube I go.
OK, I'm back. You're right. It was terrific.
Yeah, except that was The Star Spangled Banner that Lyle sung at game 4.
I'm so tired of being alone…

This is great stuff, ain't? Two wonderful and distinct styles, great band, perfect groove. Yum.
Gotta love Al Green – but Lyle Lovett's a one-off, y'know?
Happy birthday, pioneer!
