I ended up being a waiter.” “I was given a shift at a posh restaurant in Vancouver with the promise of being hired if I did a good job. At the end of the shift the owner told me he wasn’t going to hire me. He then told me ‘don’t get me wrong, you’re better than nothing’”. I got a job at Canadian Airlines in Vancouver. I had to leave a shift twenty minutes early one day for an audition for the last season of “X-Files”. I was still on probation so they fired me and I didn’t get the part either. Thank God for credit cards. I love Branson, Missouri but it didn’t love me. Someone told me that my problem was that I was a wannabe in a has-been town. I auditioned to be in one of the local shows, after I sang an original song called “It’s Not Me, It’s You” the owner told me “Branson ain’t a Playboy kind of town, we don’t do what you do here.” After that I was billed as “The Marilyn Manson of Branson”, shortly after, I went back to Canada. Quotes on Style “Lyle is a very charming fellow. Anyone who can talk his way onto Willie Nelson’s bus has to be.” - Gregg Shilliday, Publisher, Great Plains Publications “When you’ve got a name like Lyle E Style, your only career options are playing point guard for the Kentucky Colonels circa 1973 or chronicling country music, and readers should be grateful that Style has chosen the latter path...” - The New York Times “Singer/Songwriter Lyle E Style has put together just the right type of book to celebrate and remember Roger Miller. Rather than churn out the standard biography, Style’s work lets the people who really knew, admired and loved him, tell their stories. The result is a book that’s sometimes hilarious, sometimes troubling and sometimes poignant, one that gives readers far more detail and insight into the Miller personality than any academic chronicle. …As distinctive as he was versatile and unusual, Roger Miller’s charm and skill is wonderfully outlined in this valuable account.” – American Songwriter Magazine "Lyle is the first artist that I have written with since Roy Orbison's last album. His determination, respect of his predecessors and his attention to detail express what is needed to succeed as a singer/songwriter." - Bill Dees "Lyle has an original sound and look that exhibits his own way of presenting stories through his songs. He is a true crooner and stylist." - Nashville record producer Larry Butler Bill Dees, whose songwriting credits include Roy Orbison's hit "Oh, Pretty Woman" was speaking at a songwriter's convention in Branson, Missouri, which Style stumbled upon while traveling back from Nashville. The two hit it off immediately and have since collaborated on a number of songs which Style is eager to record. "It's just amazing", says Lyle, of their partnership..."He's the first person I've co-written with and he's a legend! It's a little bit intimidating. You're looking up at a wall and there's all these gold albums and it's like...Wow, how did I get here again?" - Chuck Mogate - Uptown Magazine Style’s first CD “Singled Out” is dedicated to “Old Man Steve”, an 86 year old man he befriended while working at the Crystal Casino. When he learned that the man, who had no family, had died, Style arranged the eulogy and burial, which he and a few others attended. He adds “That’s the ultimate in customer service, to bury one of your customers.” - Jennine Profeta - Winnipeg Free Press |
