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.
