Talk:Charlie Byrd

message: Byrd had a local television show in Washington, D.C. at some point during the 1960s, but I am having trouble finding the name, dates and any other relevant information pertaining to it. As an aside note, the discography section here is not up-to-par in my opinion. For instance, where is 1962's "Jazz Samba" for crying out loud?!! The layout also does not look good, using a wiki-table that does not work well in this context. I don't mean to criticize too harshly whomever put the discography section in, as some of it is useful. Anyway, this situation is easily fixable though it will prove tedious. If anyone can add the proper information on his television show in the section now dedicated to his television career, appearances, et cetera then that would be most appreciated.

message: In the Early Life section, it mentions that he learned "acoustic steel guitar", with the "steel guitar" linked to the article of that name. The steel guitar is quite a different instrument from the steel string guitar and I am wondering if in fact it was an acoustic steel string guitar that he learned at this time, However, it certainly could have been an acoustic steel guitar, and I don't know enough about Byrd myself. If indeed it was steel guitar his father taught him, perhaps this could be cleared up, and information about when he switched over to the "regular" or as it was often referred to in those days, the "Spanish" guitar. Else change the wording and the link to acoustic steel string guitar. Wschart 20:44, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Steel Guitar or Steel String Guitar?

message: I grew up in the Washington, DC, area (Prince Georges County), and I recall that before he moved to Annapolis, MD, Charlie Byrd played at a club called Byrd's Nest, which I think was in Silver Spring, MD (Montgomery County).  Does anyone else remember this?  Stargzer (talk) 22:02, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I have an lp by Charlie Byrd called 'Triste' on the Improv label (IMP 7116). I heard that that was a valuable lp, so I decided to Google both the name and the number, but I can't find anything about it. Nor is it listed here. The coverstory suggests (but doesn't actually say) that it's a recording of Byrd playing to "SRO crowds in Buffalo's DOWNTOWN club in June of 1976". The tunes are:
*Solace
*Alexander's ragtime band
*Triste
*Limehouse blues
*I only have eyes for you
*Star dust
*Swing 59
*Hey Jude
*Feelings
*I write the songs
Anyone know any more about this album? DirkvdM (talk) 16:40, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't "Jazz Samba," his most famous album, be listed in the discography?
