In a recent thread, Doyle Huff provided a url which I decided to check out.
www.waltersclan.com/jd&linda/

Never heard of this player and don't know if he's a pro - but he SHOULD be. His full chords are really something to hear! And the songs he has made available on the site are a wonderful collection of, mostly, old pop standards that are perfect for his style.

Al Marcus -- give a special listen, as I'm sure you in particular would appreciate these songs and sounds.

The songs are MP3's around 3 or 4 MB in length so they may take a few minutes to download. But they're worth it! You might also try 'opening' rather than 'saving' the file(s) in order to play but may experience some bandwidth buffering. --Everett

Oh, heck yeah. JD is a monster... we did a few shows together in the 70's when I was with Alvin Crow and JD was Freddie Hart's bandleader.

Then he wised up and got a serious career in the real world doing something society values. We ran into each other a few years ago in Tulsa at the OSGA show, and trust me, he is STILL a monster!

JD Walters played at the Mass Steel Bash back in the early 80's. He was living in Rhode Island and he had recently retired from the road and gotten a "real job". He brought his whole band to the Bash and he played some great C6 stuff, including a note for note rendition of Buddy's "At E's". I interviewed him and did a feature article on him for a New England magazine called the Country Music Record. Man, that seems like a lifetime ago! JD is one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet.

I'm listening to all the tracks now and they're great!

Gotta love this cable modem, I can listen to them in real time while they download, then save the files to disk in no time flat!

Everett, I just downloaded one.
JD is an old timer and a great player. I heard his "Unforgettable" and it is great arrangment.

I wish I had a backup band playing behind me like that. Wow! I better check out some of those others that I am familiar with, "Moonglow", "Stardust", "Serenade in Blue"........al
