Uncle Walt's Band - Champ Hood - Walter Hyatt - David Ball

[Indigoland1]

Spartanburg, South Carolina Sir! You can "claim" them all you want but it does not change the facts, Heh, Heh :)

[DBallFan4Life]

Hey, does anyone happen to have a live recording of LAST CALL by Walt? Please post it, that is my very favorite song of Walt's.

"Lean on your mind and rest your mouth a while." That's good advice for anyone.

David Ball is going to play at the Poor House in Charleston on April 11 and I hear that he will play some UWB !

[jhyeargin1]

Absolutely the most beautiful harmonies I have ever heard !! I do have to dispute wisegeorge though because they wern't really an Austin Band , they were a SOUTH CAROLINA band !

[Wisegeorge]

@jhyeargin1: If worthy musicians play a single song in Austin we claim them. But Walter, Champ and David were so much more than that and we'll never forget them. We're willing to share but they are still ours.

[jhyeargin1]

Yes Wise , I guess we should share . The music and the memories are too much for one state to contain .

I went to college with Walter in Spartanburg, SC. We used to sit down by the railroad tracks and Walter would play that Martin guitar and we'd sign our asses off. He was killed in the Value Jet crash in the Everglades. I'll never forget those good times at old Wofford College.

Did you know Jack Floyd from Olanta, SC?. He was friends with Champ.

[DebraAnnPendleton]

I never got to meet him. I had just started getting to know and love his music when he split. I met his music. him through friends in Greenville.

I would love to hear him in concert.

PS, I miss him something awful in November

[skylark521]

@DebraAnnPendleton Love 'In November'. I was asking if anyone had anything on 'In November' to post here?

[davidballfan]

No, David didn't pass away. I got an email from his daughter recently. She would have mentioned it. Walt and Champ have, though.

[dttrue]

Champ sure does look like Warren in that one really clear black and white photo. Was that kid in his lap Warren?
