Ones and Zeros: God's own yodeller called home

God's own yodeller called home

September 21, 2006	Music
News 8 Austin confirms that yodeller Don Walser died yesterday of complications from diabetes (which can mean lots of things). I saw Don Walser once, and it wasn't my cuppa tea but it was well done and everyone I've ever talked to who knew him respected him, which isn't always the case in the music business. The News 8 article mentions something I didn't know, which that he used to open for the Butthole Surfers. Given that he's also listed as being a "western swing" performer who kept alive the music of Bob Wills, I think I'll see what I think of his stuff now. And I am personally looking for the third shoe to drop. Texas has had a bad September, between Don and Ann.

It's such a terribly sad news. My father adores him so much, and it really broke his heart when he heard of the news.
