Reprehensibly no. Get a couple of PBS stations, but no Lyle last night. I'll keep watchin'.

Although I like some genres better than others, genius blows me away every time. An example is Wagnerian opera (for me an acquired taste) and the first time I heard a Kirsten Flagstad record - overpowering voice. Only later, did I learn I was not alone. Apparently, the first time she sang in rehearsal at the Met, the conductor dropped his baton and the Siegfried forgot his lines.

Speaking of amazing voices, ever hear Yma Sumac - records or the movie

Neither Hollywood nor the recording industry could figure out how to "package" her. Guess 5 1/2 octaves just didn't fit into the "package".
