I knew there was a reason why I love your music so much Walter. Great idea to share your faves. I'll def be listening, so I can share with the Sirens, my personal assemblage of music lovers (28 people worldwide at last count), via e-mail, every 2 weeks, where I share my faves, from my LP/CD collection. I've been at it since 1962, when I arrived to these fair shores, with my parents. Cheers

Hi, Walt! Thanks so much for reaching out with this. It’s great. And sorry about that time I yelled, “Walter!” outside the green room at Webster Hall and really startled you. Lol. Will you do a show soon? I took my son to see Ham a couple months ago, but my daughter and I really want to see you live!

Hey Walt - loving these shows! The Bob Marley & Wailers song is amazing - but it’s actually a cover of an Impressions song. They simplify the chords (and make it much better) - but it’s the same one. I’ve loved the pre-Island Bob Marley stuff since I was a kid, just magical stuff.

Oh wow. I had no idea. Bob Marley gets writing credit on my record! But wow yeah I just looked up and listened to the impressions version. Amazing - I had absolutely no idea it was a cover. Bobs version is much better yes. Anyway, thx for telling me, that’s great intel. ✌️❤️

Martin, I did not know at first, when your radio showed up in my email, that you were one of my favorite tiny desk concerts. I love your song writing and your sensibility. And now to find out you have a radio show. What a gem. Thanks for meandering into my email.

Great stuff, thank you. Much like one of my favorite DJs/musicians, Ben Vaughn, you played me a bunch of music that, while not in my favorite genres, was consistently interesting and enjoyable. Looking forward to future episodes.

And could hear your sound almost immediately in that first song.
