Walker Joins Machel at Historic Soca Show!

I told you in the previous post that Machel Montano HD is bringing his energetic show to the Theater at Madison Square Garden, I was asked to come and perform the songs that we recorded together.....this is a must see event for anyone who has seen my bands Q-South and The Brotherhood of the Grape...it is a completely different show....don't wait go get a ticket...you will not be disappointed......I don't get the opportunity to say "Thank You" enough to Brent Toussaint who back in the day had the musical vision to bring us both together for our initial Soca recordings!

Machel at M.S.G.

Machel Montano is celebrating 25 years in the music business. He is performing at the theatre at Madison Square Garden in March. This is a milestone for Soca music and a great accomplishment for him. I worked with him for many years and we sang our duets on massive stages all over the world...all because of his talent and the amazing musicianship of Xtatik.I just wanted to wish Machel,G.B.,D.Levy,and The Xtatik family great success on this particular occasion. Go get your tickets!

Howard Beach

This is Smitty's in Old Howard Beach N.Y. I was born around the corner from this bar in 1969. I worked there,drank there and performed there too many times to count. My birthday is coming up and I just feel like singing...it is all I can do and really all I ever could do...I would have sang at Smitty's but it is gone.....so I'm going around the corner to The Rail...I'm going to sing...I have to. It is all that is left.

Bar-Humbug is in the books!

A few years back we recorded this C.D. in 3 days. It was recorded to help raise money for a friend in need. Fran Murray was that friend. Fran was a wonderful Woman and Mother. That Christmas was a special one, she told me we helped keep her strong in her fight against Cancer. Fran passed a away, but her memory lives on. The Brotherhood recorded a video for "Christmas in the Caribbean" and still does fund raisers for St Judes hospital for Children with Cancer. Bar-humbug is no longer in print but is still available in Mp3 form at most digital web-sites pick up a copy or a song. Think of how lucky you are!

All of a sudden....everything was over.

This is the title of the next C.D. I just recorded the title song at Zabrocki Digital. I'm working with RonZabrocki and Eddie "Ace" and intend to have all 17 songs recorded and ready for Into the Whip Records by Feb of 2007.

5 years later

I remember looking out my window at the smoke pouring out of the first tower like a tire fireI remember watching the second plane hit with my naked eyeI remember the panic on my Mothers(who lived through the depression and WWII) face when she arrived at the doorI remember putting my wife, kids and mother in a car in a state of confusionI remember seeing them collapse through my windshieldThenI remembered one of my dearest friends told me he was working on the roof of the towers the night beforeI remembered all the friends and family I knew working on wall streetI remembered thinking of all the friends and family who were firemen being called to duty as the fire alarms rang in the streetsI remembered I loved them allI remember seeing some come home covered from head to toe in ashI remember finding out who was aliveI remember Fighter planes darting over my home for hoursI remember most of allRay York and I laughing in the Dolly BarRich Allen filming Q-south at the Lion's DenI rememberperforming with Chris from "Riboflavin D" on a demo tape for his bandThere were many more memories of faces and names of people I knew or my friends who knew someone else.But all I can do is Remember....and say this so that They are never forgotten....Love each-other now...don't wait....with all of your soul.....Walker
