Lyle Lovett is quite possibly one of Texas’ finest exports. If you’re not hip then you’re missing out. Heck, I was missing out; consider a couple of his appearances on the Johnny Carson show.
Make it a…cheeseburger.
Do I wish that I could sing like Francine Reed or Lyle Lovett? Every day.
Gold man. And you sent me down an awesome path…from Ed Shaughnessy (drummer in these vids…that’s actually the Tonight Show Band backing up Lovett there) to Buddy Rich to some awesome old variety show stuff back around to the drumming with Dave Weckle, Vinnie C, and Steve Gadd….
Looks like Ed was rocking some solid mutton chops too. He’s awesome, QED.
His chops were part of his whole persona

Also, “Weckl” doesn’t have an e at the end of it.
