Summary: Lyle Mayfield is a traditional musician and writer from Greenville, Illinois. He and his wife, Doris have played music together for over sixty years and have passed their appreciation of music on to their children and grandchildren. Lyle and Doris became involved with the Campus Folksong Club after a chance meeting with Archie Green at the print shop where Lyle worked in Urbana. The Mayfields were especially well received at the CFC folksings and developed many great friendships with club members. Their music is featured on the club's second LP Green Fields of Illinois. Lyle describes his involvement with the CFC as a turning point in their lives where they learned what a treasure they possessed in their musical heritage.
