“Lloyds tour is fruit-filled fiesta of impassioned personal narrative. Don’t expect a formal composition or a forced re-telling of a tired script. While Lloyd’s Key West story is certainly one he’s told before, his eagerness to share his high-low map of unique flora and edible plants is as memorable as passion-fruit is sweet.
Whether he’s hacking a coconut with a machete on White Street pier or beckoning a flock of Ibis to eat from his hand, Lloyd is in it for the laughs. We stopped for the homes of historic literary figures, fragrant frangipane blooms, and for jovial shouts and jibes to his beloved Conch neighbors and their dogs.
Lloyds performance as your-witty-buddy-on-a-bike is a picture of Key West, old and new and energetic. Initiated by a song trumpeted from a conch shell, and concluding with harrowing anecdotes and a bag full of instruments meant to transform his bikers into a Martello Garden Band, Lloyd’s bike tour is also an invitation to Lloyd the man, a salty and spirited son of Key West.”
