This man is a real treasure to the world. I took his class about 10 years ago and found out that school was more than being perfect. It was about being REAL. Thank you!!!

Great to find this video. I met Walter and saw him perform and lecture several times when he was in Mississippi playing harp with Delta bluesman James "Son" Thomas. He is a dynamic musician as well as being a great blues scholar and educator. It is no small irony that a guy from Switzerland had to come to Mississippi and educate us about our own culture. Glad to see that he is still doing and knows and does so well--perpetuating the blues.
