    Hi Walter,
    Dan told me to contact you about stuff regarding "The Christmas Can-Can". A while back, I transcribed "The Christmas Can-Can" and posted somewhere on the forum that I had done so. I was approached by one of the forum users, who was asking to obtain a copy. I was wondering if there are any legal issues with me giving him the arrangement. Please contact me as soon as possible. Thanks!

    Congrats on your success. Just finished watching your public television special. I am very happy for you. Sorry I missed getting tickets for DC but glad it is sold out for you. I hope you and Molly are well.

    Hi Walt - Nice web chat tonight. You all really connect well with your fans. You mentioned that you get some song ideas from fans. A couple that come to mind that I think you all could cover well are:
    "Reminiscing" (Little River Band),
    "Baker St" (Gerry Rafferty),
    "Sad Cafe" (Eagles),
    "Echoes of Love" (Doobie Bros),
    almost anything by ELO (would love to hear your takes on "Evil Woman" or "Don't Bring Me Down"),
    "Reasons" by Earth, Wind and Fire, and
    a really great oldie covered by Michael McDonald on a terrific CD called the New York Rock and Soul Review called "Lonely Teardrops."

    Love the group's music and energy. Best of luck on the upcoming tour!

    Hey, Dan told me that if I were to be interested in a copy of "The Man Who Can't be Moved" to contact you, do you possibly think you could send me a copy of that? If not that is perfectly fine

    I love 'The Lord of the Rings'! :) Aren't they awesome? Tolkien is such a gifted writer.

    Hey Walt!

    I just wanted to write you and congratulate you and the guys on your sucess this past year! You all deserve it so much. I've had Christmas Cheers in my CD player since it came out, and I can wait for your next album! =) I have a question though...who does the solo on "I'll Be Home For Christmas?" I've been wondering about a couple of the solo parts on the album, actually. Hope you're having a great day! ^_^

    Hello Walter, Congrats to your success! I had to contact your father-in-law to see if you are the W.C. I know. I did your wedding aerial photograph - yup, Jan C. Doddy of Doddy Photography! My wife and I will be coming to see one of your concerts in April - we made a donation during your PBS Christmas Special. We have passes to meet all of you and I hope to finally meet you in person - it was kinda hard to do from a helicopter.

    We really enjoy listening to your group and can't wait for the concert and what ever new CD's you come out with!

    See you in April,

    Jan

    I have a question and I don't know where to go with it...so I thought I'd ask the genius arranger of SNC (who is a total stranger to me but brilliant none the less). After listening to the song Man that can't be Moved 50 million times in the car new lyrics started popping out of my mouth and I just had to write them down. They tell the story of how my English husband and I (an American) met in a pub and the adventures we have had in these 9 years following. "Our story", which I have become so passionate about, is a song that I dream of hearing over the SNC arrangement and I was wondering if there is any way for this to happen. Is the music for it available or accompaniment or anything??? I wish I could get it out of my head, but it is just one of those songs! Thanks for taking the time...Cheryl
