Lloyd was happy to improvise and was easily distracted from the scripted conversation: pointing to a man standing on stage in period costume posing with an 1894 Gibson--referred to as the "world's most expensive guitar stand"--LLoyd said: "He just keeps standing there, it's weird!" Lloyd, amongst the many "Great Scott's", did tell the crowd that he had appeared as a guest on The Michael J Fox Show. The episode is due to air in the Spring.
