I am having a very difficult time finding the words to express the tremendous depth of Lyle's talent. He was truly a gift to this world. There is no one who can come close to his spirit. Thank you, Lyle, for leaving us such a magnificent legacy to lift our souls. Rest easy. You did good. :)

@@romaa-mors6582 That is nice, but I'm not mystic. And it's semantic. Right, our particles don't disappear. Atomic communication will not stop. But I think souls are for alive people. I mean, "death" is a word to say that your mind doesn't work anymore, your spirit is broken, dead, and you are not a human anymore. "Death" is the end of your organic life. I don't call "dust" life.

So saddened to learn of the passing of Lyle Mays! As we know, he was a stellar keyboard virtuoso and composer. His sound was always heartfelt, gentle, and his keyboard approach possessed an inherent cinematic beauty that truly transported listeners to an ineffable sonic dimension! His solo work and his collaborations with Pat Metheny ("The Falcon and The Snowman" soundtrack; "Offramp", the list is endless) are for many of us, the soundtracks to our lives. Thank you for your immense talents, Mr. Lyle Mays. God bless you for your musical gifts and God bless your family! Your artistry will be forever cherished and tremendously appreciated!🎹🎼🎶🎵
