[edit] Local tv show
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.

In 1980 - 1981, I took guitar lessons off Mass. Ave. NW D.C. at the Charlie Byrd Music Studios. It was a small music store in the alley of a shopping center right down the street from American Univ..

[edit] Steel Guitar or Steel String Guitar?
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)
