It was a great honor to be able to celebrate Hank Williams’ 100th Birthday! I’ve been listening to Hank since I was very, very small it was probably like my lullaby when I was a baby. Special, special thanks to Kazuya Takahashi for inviting me to do this show with him.
ハンクウィリアムズの生誕100周年記念の昨日、高橋和也Presents Hank Williams 生誕100周年記念Tribute Liveに出演させて頂きました。 子供の頃からずっと聴いているハンクの名曲を和也くんが歌い、私は2部でご一緒させて頂きました!
会場は35年程お世話になっている原宿クロコダイル、カントリーのイベント、ロックのイベントと数々のライヴに参加させて頂いています。 昨年は4月にROCK AID FOR SHIMEを企画し、和也くんにはとても、とてもお世話になり、昨日のライヴの会場、ミュージシャン達、色々深い思いがありました。
New video uploaded on YouTube!! Was filmed back in 1997 at Suntory Hall in Tokyo. A sacred tune “Where could I go but to The Lord” from a Jimmie Tokita’s Concert.
Another new project is about to start!! I am starting a new “Music & Talk” event starting May! My very 1st guest will be my good friend Eiichiro Shirai. This will be a monthly project which will be held on the second Tuesday of each month at Stagecoach. I will have guests each month and there will be a discussion followed by a mini gig.
New video upload! It’s been a year since my singing partner SHIME passed away. This was filmed back in 2008 from our gig. The song, “The Angels Rejoiced Last Night” was SHIME’s favorite tune. Whenever BROKEN ASHES (SHIME & Keiko Walker) performed we started off our show with this song. In our Reissue album, I picked this song to be published for SHIME.
It’s always so much fun to sing Emmylou! We did a new set of songs from our Vol. I live. Songs I used to sing when I was younger and songs we’ve never done before. Still haven’t covered half of her albums so this series hopefully continues(^_-)-☆
I came across this old Calendar from Nashville which was an old Country Music venue in Ginza, Tokyo. I used to perform here after I started performing with my own band, Keiko Walker & The Hot Street Band.
Around 1993, Country Music was still more popular in Japan than now. We used to get a big crowd each stage, especially on Friday nights. There were still famous Country Artists from Japan performing back then. A lot of the performers that used to perform then have gone to heaven.
I scanned some photos from Nashville. I had the privilege of performing with Famous Artists like Connie Smith and The Louvin Brothers here at Nashville too.
When Nashville was still here, there were no SNS nor blogs so I never had the chance of writing about it nor leaving photos so I wanted to write about it and thank everyone who was a part of this era of Country Music in Japan.
Thank you everyone for your warm and kind words!!! Since the infusion treatment, it’s easier for me to breathe so I am feeling much better!
My longtime friend and the World’s Greatest Harmonica Player, Charlie McCoy gave me the permission to upload this beautiful Cowboy Tune we’ve been performing together over the past years when Charlie tours Japan.
I am so honored! I hope you all enjoy this.
This was filmed in Tokyo in 2007 at “Charlie McCoy Live in Tokyo”
長年の友人でもあり、Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Simon & Garfunkel や Bob Dylanなどのレコーディングや共演をしてきた世界のハーモニカプレイヤー、チャーリーマッコイより許可を頂き、Upload致しました。
Going down Memory Lane I guess my future career as a Country Music Singer started when I was 10. Fond memories of my still most favorite Singer Jimmie Tokita. And my beautiful Mama
New YouTube upload❣ 来週11月12日、石田新太郎 & The Citylitesのライブにゲスト出演させて頂くのですが、その前に少しCitylitesと私の接点などをお話したいなと思い、美也ちゃんにコラボ動画撮らない?とお誘いして、前半、後半にわけて配信しました! 場所は茅ヶ崎Stage Coachをお借りしました。 片山誠史くんも一瞬登場するよ😉
