Just returned home from Steel Bridge Songfest, perhaps the most exciting festival around.
70 plus songwriters of all ages and stripes writing and recording together in a motel for 4 days and then performing those songs
in a multitude of ensembles and venues over the next 3 days. Words cannot accurately describe how much fun I had and what an honor
it was to be a small part of it. Many, many thanks to pAt mAcdonald, melaniejane, and all the writers, performers, engineers and
volunteers that made it so very special.

Many thanks to all of you that came out to the shows in New York, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy.
It was a thrill for me to play with my Silos bandmates and see so many old friends. It was also a blast to perform
with Jerry Joseph and to have his guitar supporting my music and get to play percussion and drums behind his great songs.
I made it back to the US for Thanksgiving and am happy to finally be back in Flagstaff. I hope all of you had a wonderful
Thanksgiving and are looking forward to a joyous Holiday Season.
I'm busy making a bunch of Dog Portraits for customers, but will have room to make a few more,
so if you want to give or receive a portrait for Christmas please make your order now. It's coming down to the wire, so please check out the
Silos/WaltersDogs Store for loads of gift ideas and stocking stuffers.
Thanks again to all of you for giving me so much to be thankful for.
Best wishes,
Walter
