   About Richard Walters
Nobody likes to write about themselves, and I'm no exception.
But no one wants to read an impersonal musical resume jotted down to fill in the blanks. So let me say this.
Music is my bookends, it keeps me tight, together and tidy. I have the ups and downs, and don't we all, but I've reached a point in my life where I've realized its better to be at sea than on dry flat land. Thats where all the songs are swimming.
I'm indebted to words, always have been and forever will be. I've got unfinished books leveling out my furniture, don't we all.
And when I go to sleep I sometimes dream about swimming in the estuary near my parents house; sometimes I dream about my cat, Martha, singing like Stina Nordenstam; other times I just dream about giant shoes. But I'll try to write about all those things and everything else I (actually) get to see and do in-between.
I want to go to America, buy a three piece suit, some boots and a trilby hat from Goodwill and tour Dairy Queens.

So, I just wanted to tell you why I added you.
I know, it's kind of a given: I like your music.
Well.
I was watching a show- So You Think You Can Dance, and this guy, Jakob Karr, danced to your song "Elephants In The Room". And as soon as I heard the intro to the song, I knew I loved it. I watched and listened as he did this complicated, and yet beautiful dance to an even more beautiful song. The dance and the music moved me to tears, and I fell in love- with the dance, the dancer, the song, you.

I give you as many kudos as possible. For making such beautiful music, such moving music. You have definitely become one of my favorite musicians. Thank you.
