Walter had over some time developed a growth on his vocal chords. He had
surgery on the 23rd of September.
The surgery went well and after more than a week of silence, Walter just got
the ok to speak again yesterday, and his voice although still weak, is
gaining momentum every hour that passes. He even has an increased vocal
range and can hit notes, he has not been able to hit in years.
With a little TLC in the next week or so, his voice should be in fine form
for the kick off of the UK/European tour beginning Oct. 8th!
I am also happy to report that the biopsy results came back, and told us
that there was no cancer in the growth that had been removed from Walter's
vocal chords.
Thanks for the messages of support!

A thank you from Dean Newman
To all,
I wanted to thank everyone who helped spread the word for the Walter Trout
show @ the
Southgate house.
Now that Jimmy Trapp has money in hand I can say "THANKS" for all the help
you gave. We raised $1,375.00!!!!
Walter donated a brand new guitar that he autographed on stage for the
lucky winner. By the way the winner drove 5 hrs up from Tennessee.
I want to personally thank all who donated items and
helped make this happen

LIVE video broadcast of Walter Trout and the
Radicals recording "Ride Til I'm Satisfied" on the
www.bluepower.com internet radio
show
From: BluePower.com
By: John Rhys
A couple of years ago, BluePower
finally managed to wrest Walter Trout
and the band away from their busy schedule to come into
Rotund Rascal Studios in North
Hollywood to record half a dozen songs live to two track.
While they were doing this, Steve Altman
shot the session with one camera so that we could preserve the moment for
posterity.
Later, Steve took it upon himself to put together one song with the video.
It took a great deal of finagling to get the DVD to come out right as
utilizing only one camera, he had to pull shots from other sections of the
video in order to piece together the song.
BluePower used the DVD in a contest in which over 5000 people entered to
win one of four DVD's made.
Here is that DVD with all it's foibles. However; if you're a guitar
player, there are some amazing shots of Walter and the fingerboard during
the main solos. A must for any guitar player in the process of learning to
play leads.

Walter Trout and the Radicals - gig of the year
Peter Feenstra -
www.feenstra.co.uk Independent promoter / PR Mystic Records /
freelance writer writes...
I welcome the chance to suggest a personal top ten of both
albums and gigs of only for the fact it represents one of the
few opportunities to spotlight some of the artists who continue to tour
and keep the live music scene alive.
GIGS OF THE YEAR
Walter Trout & The Radicals at The Mean Fiddler, London This show came
three quarters of a way through a month long UK tour and both Walter and
band were at their peak. Walter's biggest London crowd for over 5 years saw
him play highlights from his 14 year solo career. Trout's playing exuded
emotion, fire and shifted from low down blues to incendiary rock and roll.
Highlights of a two hour set included Jericho Road" and the guitar/Hammond
avalanche of "Put It Right Back On You". The two encores were fully
deserved.
