I saw Holcombe Waller and The Healers at The Public Theatre last month, January. It was both a beautiful visual and audible treat. Thank you so much for presenting it on Spinning On Air.
Beautiful music. I see by the Flickr page that the french horn player also plays the Hohner Melodica. I played both the french horn and Melodica over 30 years ago. That Hohner has a lot of possibilities...
Great show tonight! Great to hear Holcombe Waller and Ben and the others on the air. I've been a fan since I knew them in college. It's great to hear Holcombe's music and know that he has found a wider audience over the years! Thank you for hosting him!
You were playing some cool solo piano music about a half hour ago. I got called away to deal with an allegedly drowning child and by the time I established that he wasn't, you'd already announced it. what was it?
awesome.
awesome.
I just discover Holcombe Waller on your radio. Is music and voice are so amazing !
Thank's for that moment of pure beauty. I hope some day I see him on stage in France.
