Spinning On Air

Quinn Walker

Sunday, January 27, 2008

Quinn Walker is excited. He’s excited to perform music: he’s a one-man band, singing, playing guitar, electronics, and drums all at once. He’s excited to write songs: a prolific composer, his first commercial album is a double CD set culled from the six or more albums he’s self-produced in just the last couple of years. Quinn Walker joins host David Garland to talk about his music and to give the first-ever radio performance of his exciting and surprising songs.

The performances can be

electric, chaotic and sublime.

It's the songwriting that grabs me.

Keep it up Quinn,

there's a big audience

waiting to hear you.

David! Quinn!

I wasn't able to listen on line. Bummer.

I have heard Quinn's music at his myspace site, and I love it.

Disclosure: I am the "godmother" of one of Quinn's best friends. I knew them when they were in diapers.

Will there be an archive of the show, so that I can listen to it? That would be so great.

p.s. you can use my email addy.

Early this evening you briefly mentioned a

17 year old English singer, Flora Marling, who will be featured on a forthcoming program.

Please give me the date and the approximate

time within the program. Thanks!

Regards, Martin Sticht

P.S.--have I spelled her name right? Couldn't

find her on Amazon.
