Chris Walker broadcast a jazz programme on BBC radio for over 27 years and more recently on radio stations all over the world. Through this, he has gained a huge knowledge of the singers, songwriters and musicians that wrote and performed “THE GREAT AMERICA SONGBOOK”. He is also a fine musician and bandleader, playing clarinet, alto & baritone saxophones.
In addition, Chris is a guest speaker at organisations all over the South of England as well as on board some of the world’s leading cruise ships.
His wife, Janet is a phenomenal researcher and writes his talks, which he then rewrites into his own way of speaking – adding his own anecdotes. In her own right, Janet is also a guest speaker on land as well as at sea and takes over from where Chris leaves off, speaking about the early “Rock and Roll” era.
Together, they have produced this book which they hope will give you a pleasurable and informative read.
