You will really enjoy him Paul. I got to go to the BluesRock Festival in Holland with my Bonabuddys during my visit. For Eva, George and Geko it was their first Walter show. He really is a funny guy! Hope you have a great time.     Cathy

You'll appreciate this, Cathy.....

When Walter played Moondog's last month, a friend of mine, Donnie, who was on crutches following a motor cycle accident, was watching from the side stage.  After Walter finished his first set, Donnie hobbles up to him, in his best "poor gimp on crutches in a crowded room" act, and sez....."Ya know, Walter, I'm a guitar player, and I know you've got some mean chops.....but could you turn to the side a couple times so I can see yer licks?  From where I'm sittin', all I can see is your fat @ss....."

Walter about died laughin'.....

And when the second set started, he came off the side stage, and played directly in front of Donnie.....not just for a minute or two.....but for the first 4 songs!!!  Laughin' his @ss off the entire time.....

Classic story, fantastic!
