Burl:

Seems Johnny Walker is still kicking here in San Diego. Here's an excerpt from the SD Folk Heritage News Page :

     THERE WE WENT A-CAROLING
     A hearty band of 25 SDFSS carolers visited Sam and Leslie Hinton plus Johnny and Almarine Walker on New Year's Day to share the joys of singing Christmas carols.  Sam entertained us with a few of his unique, seldom heard seasonal specialties.  Johnny, "The Yorkshire Tyke," recited the Albert Ramsbottom tale of the lad who was swallowed by a toothless lion and regurgitated whole and unharmed.  What a delight to hear these two patriarchs of folk music at their best.  Thank you, Sam and Johnny, for sharing a bit of Christmas with us.

It's signed by "Sandy" and as soon as I find him you'll have yer buddy back!
