Lyle: Y Lie He

Note this recent addition to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2020 site:

Lyle Mays, 66, American jazz pianist and composer (Pat Metheny Group)

It stands out mainly for two reasons, first his surname is an addition to the recent and prolific “Remove a Letter Makes a Word” pattern cluster... as in remove the “s” makes the word “may”, AND, my first name is May!!  The second reason has to do with his twin age (66) at death, meaningful considering that at the end of my previous post is a list of notable persons who passed away this month (so far) at a twin age.  I did update the post, adding Mays to the list.  As well, his first name contains a cryptic English/French combination re: “lie y(why) le(him/he)“.  His surname also brings to mind another famous Mays: Willie Howard Mays, Jr. (born May 6, 1931), nicknamed "The Say Hey Kid" .  It’s interesting to note that he was born in May.

Note from Lyle’s wiki page:

Lyle David Mays (November 27, 1953 – February 10, 2020) 

Note this excerpt from Lyle’s wiki page:

 The Steppenwolf Theater Company of Chicago featured an assortment of compositions by Lyle Mays and Pat Metheny for their production of Lyle Kessler's play Orphans.

We now have a “Lyle(x2)” pattern cluster.   For the record, if the name in question was common, like “Smith”, I wouldn’t see it as a cluster.  The name Lyle on the other hand is not common, so to see it crop up again on following the leads, is a twin heads upp.  Since the inner twin world tend to generate clusters in groups of 3 or more, this is a prompt to investigate the name Lyle.  There are two wiki pages, one containing a list of notables with the surname and one with the first name.  I selected one from each list that stood out:

Lyle (surname):  

• Rudy Lyle (1930–1985), American bluegrass banjo player

Lyle (given name): 

• Lyle Wright, (1898–1963), United States Hockey Hall of fame inductee

I chose Rudy because his first name is an addition to the “Add a Letter Makes a Word” pattern cluster... as in add a “d” makes “ruddy” (meaning “red”), and so also an addition to the recent “Red/Reddy Theme” pattern cluster .  The surname “Wright” stands out— I often use “write” in place of “write” in this blog, wright being a combination of “write right”... as in “write the truth”. The two names together, provide us with a cryptic “write right red”.  So the question now is what is the meaning behind “red”... what comes to mind is “seeing red”— meaning very angry!!  Note from their wiki pages:

•  Rudy R. Lyle (March 17, 1930 – February 11, 1985)
• Lyle Zealand Wright (September 28, 1898 – May 23, 1963)

First of all, TODAY is the anniversary of Rudy’s death!!  An addition to the “Timely” pattern cluster.   Wright died on the day of the year with 222 days remaining... sequences of 2’s are a particular inner twin signature.
