Well, I am sorry I didn't just stay home and watch the race. Lyle's voice was scratchy, tired sounding, and barely under control for the first hour. He and the Large Band did play for 2 1/2 hours and his voice got a little better, but the acoustics were terrible and sound man, to quote a line from one of Lyle's songs referring to a sound man, "Sometimes I swear that boy just can't hear." The venue (Biltmore House, Asheville, NC) was the worst I have ever endured for a concert by someone the stature of Lyle Lovett. So, I am looking forward to the race results. Is there an archive recording of the racing?
