Do a lot of people get these two Mr. Lytles confused? I would think so. Both are Americans. Both were born in the 30s. Both are from Ohio. Both are accomplished musicians. Now, if they were to share the same stage, you could tell them apart because Donny is European-American and Johnny is African-American. But on record? Well, there is one difference: besides being a guitarist (including both bass & steel varieties), Donny could also sing. And Johnny played the vibraphone. And Donny played country. And Johnny played jazz. Ok, I guess they don't sound anything alike!
Besides, Donny never used his real name. First he was Donny Young. Then he joined the other Mr. Lytle by changing his name to Johnny - but also changed the family name to Paycheck. Also, there is no record of Johnny having a long rap sheet like Donny.
On the video, Donny with a mighty big slice of cheese.
