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!
