Style is scheduled for Septoplasty surgery on November 29th, if he lives; he is hoping the result is a singing voice that people will take interest in. He also told us that he’s going for surgery at this point in his life because wants to get his breathing fixed right in case he has more children as he doesn’t want them to inherit that problem.

Style’s comments to his professors at the University of Manitoba and on the University institution in general were ill received resulting in him not being welcome at his own graduation earlier this year. His invite to attend the convocation ceremony never arrived and he did not even find out when it was until after the fact. Style was quite upset as he purchased a new cane, old-man glasses and a pipe to wear to the ceremony. “The whole time I was taking those brutal classes I visualized myself accepting my diploma as a grumpy old man and cherishing the resulting photo for years to come. Not being invited was the ultimate slap in the face. The funny thing is they claimed they couldn’t find me to invite me to my grad yet since I graduated, I’ve been contacted by them many times asking for donations!”

Since Style still has no clue what he will be doing with his Bachelor of Arts degree, he has expressed interest IF he goes back to get an official doctorate that he will be studying why people don’t hiccup or sneeze in their sleep along with a thesis determining whether if a person inhales or exhales at the exact moment they fall asleep if they are inevitably destined to have a good dream or a bad dream. The staff here, (as always) wish him luck with his ventures.

On a trip to Branson this summer, Style encountered a day from hell thanks to brutal customer service at the Holiday Inn in Sioux City. It was obvious Style was heading South yet the front desk staff neglected to tell him the Interstate was closed from Sioux City to the Missouri border which led to a full day of back and forth detours, a major speeding ticket while lost on the back-roads somewhere in Montgomery County Iowa and a day lost that was to be spent in Kansas. On the way back, Style purposely avoided Sioux City by going through Des Moines and there, had his vehicle vandalized by someone throwing a full can drink over an overpass on the Interstate going 65 miles an hour. “Iowa taught me a lot of painful lessons and how ten seconds of customer service could have saved hundreds of dollars, hundreds of miles, and hours upon hours of time. Next time I go down South, I’m planning on driving around Iowa. I used to love that State and Holiday Inns but I feel betrayed and it’s clear that they certainly don’t love me.”

Style felt welcome as soon as he arrived in his old stomping grounds of Branson, Missouri when he saw a protester on the main strip with a sign and shirt saying "Country Music Is A Front For The Drug Cartel". Style spent weeks trying to find that person again without any luck. He apologizes for not having a photo with him made available to the public.

Style and his family had a great visit in Branson spending time with his good friend songwriting legend, Bill Dees (photo above with Style’s son Austin), Buck Trent (brutal photo of Lyle below with the great man) and the amazing Mickey Gilley (pics even more below). Unknown to Style at the time, Mr. Gilley had a bad fall leaving him unable to play piano and performing now on an office chair. Mr. Gilley still put on a hell of a show and sounds as good as ever. We all wish him a speedy recovery and express much gratitude for meeting with Lyle and his family before the show, introductions during the concert and treating them to drinks with him after at Gilley’s restaurant.


One of the main purposes of Style heading to Branson was to meet up with Jim Stafford to discuss a future book project that he had the inside connection for, unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the project will turn out. Style won’t say what the project was about but with some research on Jim Stafford, the office staff has figured out. When we guessed correctly, Style threatened to have Johnny Kitsalano fire us if we reprint it. Instead he told us to say that Style remains a big fan of Jim Stafford’s and that he has a huge impact with what Jim told Style regarding the music industry’s struggles these days. Mr. Stafford told Style “The problem with the music business is that it’s never been more fun to stay at home.” It was an “ah-ha” moment for Style and apparently has since felt better about his mediocre career that it’s a sign of the times and not so much that he sucks.

With Style now officially being in his forties, he has now discovered a new way to “enjoy the now” by focusing on “if he never did that specific activity again in his life, would he miss it”. The new contemplations have made him a poor dinner guest as he openly shares his view with people by saying things after being served a meal “If I never ate another piece of chicken in my life, I’d be perfectly fine with it”. Apparently of the thousands of things, places and people he’s put through this contemplation, there’s little he would miss in general.

Early this summer, a rumour went around that Style died. To this day, he has people come up and say “I thought you died!” And out of the dozens of times he’s been approached, not one person looked all that happy to see that he was alive. Style also stated “I admit I’m sad that none of those people made the effort to come to my funeral.”

Absurd Machine Studios has officially moved to their new location and Style is excited by the slight chance of doing another album with the talented crew. Style has enough songs for a box set release but would be content releasing another CD entitled Lyle E Style "Behind Of His Time". Style is encouraging all of his fans to send request directly to the record label for another release.

Canada Post has had a falling out with Electric Recordings, after being offended by some of Style’s Twitter posts, they increased their prices so that if someone purchases both a book and a CD from us, all minimal profit is eaten up through postage increase at that exact weight in an effort to put us out of business. It’s strange how sending the exact product from the USA to another state or even to Canada is well under $3 where if sent via Canada Post, it is over $16.
