My heart has been heavy since I received news on Easter Sunday. Bob Sinclair, owner of Waterloo Media (KLBJ 93.7) and 7 other stations in the group, passed away. Let me be clear, there would not be LA Lloyd or any radio career whatsoever if it wasn't for this man. Bob hired me in October 1993 as the night jock for 96X on a station we launched in Norfolk/Virginia Beach. 2 years later, Bob said, Lloyd you and Sara Trexler are going to Austin... and I've been here since 1995. Through the years, I've worked with properties he's owned and other companies as well. In 2013, I came full circle and got to work with Bob again as Program Director of KLBJ-FM. Eventually Bob became 100% owner of all 8 radio stations under the Waterloo Media name.
This photo is 30 years old. It was a night at the original Backyard in Austin with John Prine opening for Willie Nelson. I'm not sure whose idea it was for Bob to go on stage before the bands began. But it was recommended for him to introduce himself as a new business owner in Austin and thanking the crowd for welcoming him and his 2 stations in this market. Bob asked me to come on stage with him and I was happy to do so. The funny thing was Bob mentioning how the backstage area definitely "had a Willie fragrance." Also, he wanted me to remind him of who he was introducing as the opening act. Being the playful type, I kept telling Bob "it's John Prine...don't screw it up and say John Prune." He was getting aggravated at me for messing with him. Needless to say, he went on stage and did a great job. I'm so glad someone captured this moment of time of me with the man who saved me and made my radio career what it is today. I may look like I'm supporting him in the photo, but he supported me 1000 times more. Thanks Bob. I sure am gonna miss seeing you in the radio station and the calls from you where I had no idea what you were gonna hit me with. :) You were One Of A Kind!

Happy 25th Birthday to an amazing girl! I can’t put it into words how proud I am of you and the feelings I get from being your Dad. Watching you grow up through the years and knowing the goals you have still to come are days I look forward to. I love you to the moon and back! ❤️❤️❤️

Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach is my guest on the L.A. Lloyd Rock 30 April 12-13 on over 50 radio stations. He talks about the #1 song Even If It Kills Me watching his son go through a tough time and said, ""Heartache is something else, right? And watching somebody that you love so much just be decimated. It was a tough thing, man. And I wanted to carry the weight for him and just shoulder the pain. But one thing I know about this life is that this struggle strengthens and we find out who we are when we're in the fire. And I told my son, I said, 'Hey, man, I'm gonna walk through this fire with you. You're gonna feel it.' You know, and he knew. And he pulled his bootstraps up and got back up and got after
life again. And it was a heavy moment, but I'm so grateful that we got the type of relationship that he could open up to me about his what was going on with him and his feelings and not just stuff it all down and learn and grow."
Yes it is intense but he opens up about many things he has been through good and bad for the past 25 years. This is one you don't want to miss. More at lalloyd.com

Not only is she my daughter but a muse to me. I’m inspired just by being in your presence I had a great time with you at the show❤️

Not sure of the author but I agree: “I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!”

So if you see me standing a little taller, looking a little slimmer, feeling a little confident, smiling for no particular reason, complimenting something extraordinary about you, wearing new clothes (especially cowboy boots my friend “Bull” helps me pick out), dancing for no particular reason, singing out loud to my favorite new song…Now you know why.
😊👊❤️🙏

LA Lloyd has an intimate conversation with Halestorm's Lzzy Hale about her music, poetry and her milestones in her life. In January 2025, Halestorm embarked on a unique and intimate musical journey known as the Living Room Sessions tour. This special tour featured Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger performing unplugged shows that brought fans closer to the band's raw talent and emotional depth than ever before. One of those stops was in Biloxi, MS at Hard Rock Live where this podcast takes place.
