Seyer?
arry Seyer was born in
Augusta, Georgia in a
make-shift Army Hospital
while his Father "Lefty" was serving in
the US Army during the Korean

Father was finished his tour of duty
from the military and his family of
three returned to their native
hometown of Oran, Missouri in June of

Cape.
Around June of 1978, Larry had a
chance to move to Austin Texas and
continue the work he started in
Missouri.
He had been asked by his good friend
Larry Franklin (whom he had played
with in a Country Band while in
Stuttgart) to move to Austin to join a
band Franklin had started called
Cooder Browne. (Seyer was known as
'Sly' back then - a nickname given to
him by his friend John Hicks; a
drummer he played with in Ft. Leonard
Wood Missouri)
Although work with Cooder Brown
was not to be permanent, it served as
the perfect reason for moving from
Missouri to Texas where eventually he
met Wink Tyler, owner of Austin
Recording Studio.

this is
how
Larry
was
able to
work
with
George
Martin on his Beatles tribute album
entitled 'In My Life'.
Although they mis-spelled his name on
the credits for that CD, he worked with
George and Goldie none-the-less and
has a picture to prove it thanks to
Frank Campbell who sneaked in during
the session and snapped a photo.
Given the large number of projects that
Larry has worked on, it should be no
surprise that there would be more than
one CD that is named with the same
title.
