Don Walser

[Tom Smith]

For Chad Cosper, who inquired about Don Walser's health a 
week or so ago (am going thru the digests). 
Don was on Jovita's marquee last night. I saw him the 
previous tuesday and although he was walking with help and 
spoke somewhat carefully, he was singing well and was 
completely charming to everyone who came up to speak 
with him between sets. What a nice man.

A buddy of mine saw Slaid last night  in San Marcos, Tx, backed by a band
which included Gurf Morlix on guitar.  News from Slaid includes a new URL
address: http://www.slaid.com; and a new album produced by Gurf which
he is hoping will see the streets by September.

On another note, and I hate to pass on what might well be a rumor,  Slaid
played Walser's "Cowboy Ramsey," as usual, but preceded the song by saying
that he had received word that Don was not feeling well lately and had to
cut a show or two short.   My friend didn't ask for more info, so it might
well be that nothing is seriously wrong with Walser, but I thought I'd ask
you guys if anyone has any more info.
