Walter Trout in need of help (Page 1 of 5)

Thank you Ian.for the link. Hope the word spreads to other Forums and beyond. Well said Rick.

Have cut and pasted Ian916's original post on to Aynsley Lister's Forum - it's also on Home page; least we could do for someone who's mentored so many young artists down the years, and we want him to continue for many more.

The youcaring.com link was posted on MyLesPaul.com forum yesterday (Backstage-General Topics ... with a couple posters pledging already.)

The pledge total is growing ....

Make that $31k now, Andre. It went up from $30k while I was typing this.

I agree with Mike's sentiments. Walter has mentored or played with so many young guitarists over the years from Aynsley Lister to Danny Bryant to Mitch Laddie. The list goes on and on.

If you think Walter's condition is his own doing and therefore you aren't inclined to help, remember, Walter has beaten his demons and come back a better and stronger person and the Blues fraternity would be a poorer place without him. He's a genuinely good person who deserves another chance. If you can afford a few $, or whatever you can, please donate before it's too late.

I've been a fan since the mid 90s and I'd hate to see Walter fade away. He's got more to give and I want to hear it.

Wow, this is very sad! Besides the money aspect, the first thing I am thinking is just from what I "hear" about transplants. Is Walter on a waiting list? I'm not sure how the list works, but if someone is higher on the list but not in as dire of need, what does the hospital do?

Sending good vibes to Walter and hoping for the best outcome.

The only other musician I can recall is David Crosby getting a liver transplant. Phil Collins paid for Crosby's liver transplant.

sorry to hear this for Walter. I don't know much about his music but will give and then pray for a good outcome. From what is said here he must be a much greater person than he is blues artist, and I know he plays a mean git.

Very sad.
It feels good that so many people share the post and donate.
Hope that the money will help and that we will see Walter recover and on the road again.

OH NO! I saw and met Walter right after he released his last record...He is such a nice guy...We saw him at a 300 person club in Silverton..where he has some friends....show was fantastic...I HAD NO IDEA HOW SICK HE WAS ...THIS IS REALLY BAD NEWS....I wish he and he family all the best positive thoughts...
