boy!some of you guys sure do write your threads in the "wee" hours! but they are so appreciated.walt and i did our first show together in hawaii.it was the musical "carousel",and he played the "starmaker".i remember i was able to endear myself to him by helping to find his "lucky coin"...lucky me. the thing i loved best about him was his honesty.he cut through the crap and you never wondered what he was really thinking.at least,that's how it seemed.it was years before i realized how deep the waters ran with that one. he loved all kinds of motorcycles,though by the time we were together,he was rather tamely tied to a honda scooter,known as the "red devil",or sometimes "the red menace" depending on his mood.when he knew his days were ending,and he was no longer able to ride his trusty steed,he bequeathed it to me,having found out that my own motorcycle had been stolen.i wish i could say i still had it,but this was not to be.i have moved away from the states for now,and left the "devil" with a friend back in honolulu...i'm not quite sure why i'm writing this "thread".it has nothing to do with walt the folk singer,but just walt the lovely,irrascible,brilliant,sly,funny fella i loved...e
