Thank you Charley. I guess we just both love the man for what he is. A treasure.

Charley, that was awesome - thank you!

Lloyd seems so relaxed. The story, hearing him talk about Buddy and Jimmy, the demonstration, the artistry - fantastic.

How did you get him talking about "Half A Mind" in the first place? Is there more video you can share?

Super job.

We have been friends over 30 years. When I go to Nashville, I stay with Lloyd. We have these "Quiet Times of Conversation" in his Shangri-La aka his picking room. And, I capture them with his approval. His perfect recall of events is a perfect path for extemporaneous conversation. It is quite surreal to experience.

The only time I have seen him NOT relaxed is when I tell him he sounds flat lol. Also, he got excited when I told him I bought him a tuner at Dallas for his Christmas present to he could stay in tune,.......it was a joke of course...... That was an interesting look and conversation to say the least.

He is a walking history book of events during that Era of musical creation.

Charley,

Thank you so much for sharing this. Lloyd is such a generous human with a great heart. It has been a true privilege to become friends with him. You have some treasured memories here and you too are generous for sharing them. Thanks Again!

You have to wrestle him down like a Bear sometimes. But, once subdued, he's a pretty decent fella! :lol:

Charley, that made me smile. Talk about multi-tasking. What Lloyd played, the banter with Jimmy, and the telling of the story. If it was 4-dimensional chess Lloyd would be a master.

Oh, that's right, he is!
