I am so very saddened by the news of Walt's passing. Whenever I'd stop by the Chelsea to play some songs with my guitar for the residents, he was always there......listening, clapping and supporting my efforts. When I was finished, he'd come over, shake my hand, and we'd have a nice little conversation about music or most recently, the resurgence of the Yankees. What a kind and wonderful man.
Playing at the Chelsea will never again be quite the same for me. Though he won't be there in person, I'll find comfort in knowing that Walt will always be there in spirit.
My sincerest condolences to his entire family. God bless Walter Drechsel and may you rest in eternal peace. I'll miss you, my friend.
