Okay I won't make a joke about Walter being available to dj weddings and middle school dances. My go-to party song is Ringo's 'Goodnight Vienna.'

The American Graffiti soundtrack is another good one with songs from the 50s and 60s.

Man, I need to go to a dance party where you are DJ-ing!

Every track a bloody marvel. Thanks!

Now I’m convinced you were single-handedly responsible for all the YouTube uploads that used to go up on the old Walkmen website. The ones I remember were Jamaica by Ben E. King, I Was the One by Elvis, and (best of all) a Rodney Dangerfield stand-up set. Love that you’re a Mermaids fan! Had that soundtrack on cassette.

Hello. I really love your show. I love the stuff I've heard before (1/3? ha ha, so specific), and I especially love and appreciate the stuff I have not heard. I've heard half the episodes so far and I can't wait to hear the rest.

You talk a lot, and I love it. Most DJs can't pull that off and I love it. Your love and respect for this music shows and I love how your delivery is so friendly.

Love all your own music too!

Cheers and smiles all around.

Absolutely killer episode! I knew most of the songs, of course, but then you SLAYED me with El Raton. As for soundtracks, I grew up in a Beatles household so when American Graffiti came out (I think I was 9) it was quite an ear-opener. We saw the movie and then my sister got the cassette and we played over and over…

Oh man. Vacation was our family’s favorite movie growing up. Holiday Road brings it all back. This was a super fun episode. Thanks, Walt!
