Rocky, where have you been hiding? Walter, you have a real find here, sign him up! I loved your St James Infirmary , you sang a couple of verses that I haven't heard before. I've done my best to imitate blues playing and singers, but there ain't nothing like the real thing, and you are the real thing.

Hello and hope all is going well with you. Its been fun visiting your page. I'd love if you come visit our page. I was part of an R&B group on campus before I tried out one song on the acoustic guitar with a friend and I just fell in love with it. It was incredible...you guys don't understand what you have...Pls when you get the chance check out "see it in your eyes" and "take some time" Just asking for your opinion because this is a foreign land for me and my boys. Thanks for your music and God bless.

Rocky: This is Travis, I help out Mr. Gloshinski in his classroom and he just showed these recordings to me. I really enjoyed listening to Your two songs and hearing your story about how you started to play harmonica. I hope you manage to keep playing and recording music.

Rocky: This is Pete Wilson from beautiful downtown Wiggins, MS. Saint James Infirmary has always been my favorite blues song, having grown up not far from New Orleans. I just listened to your version, and I believe I like it better than any I have heard!
Just wanted you to know.

Hi Rocky! My name is Nigel and I'm writing to you from a little village called Minety (rhymes with "90"!) in the county of Wiltshire in England. I've just listened to your two songs and the story that Walter recorded of how you learnt to play the harmonica. I enjoyed your version of the St James Infirmary Blues but I particularly appreciated hearing "The Befuddled Fiddler". That's a great comic song and a real tongue-twister! I don't know how you get your tongue round all the words! I play guitar too, though I've never managed to master the harmonica. I sometimes write comic songs, though I don't think that the words of mine are quite as ingenious as yours. I loved your guitar playing too and look forward to hearing some more recordings when Walter posts them. With best wishes and warmest regards, Nigel Price ("Rusty Red")

Hi Rocky,
My name is David and I'm writing to you from Melbourne, Australia. I was very impressed with your recording of 'Saint James' - it was so heartfelt and full of conviction. I'm only a young guy, but I do hope that I can learn to sing with the kind of conviction and talent that you so openly display on your Soundclick recordings.
I was also fascinated to hear about how you started out on the harp. I could never get the hang of that thing! I'd love to be able to master it, and it sounds as if you had an incredible gift from a very young age. I tried hard when I was younger, but I only succeeded in being to told "Stop playing that bloody racket!" :)
I'd love to hear any more recordings you'd be kind enough to do for WalterTore. Don't think that there isn't an audience out there listening - we're waiting for more!
Best wishes to you and keep playing, David (johnny66 from Big Road Blues Forum).

Hey Rocky, it's great to know that the passion for music lives on. I loved your rendition of St James Infirmary and I look forward to having a great time playing music like you do.
I'm listening to these blues from halfway across the globe on a tiny tropical island in South-East Asia called Singapore, but listening to these recordings sure makes it feel like I'm right in that room with you.
Have fun and keep on playing!

Rocky, I love your music. I'd give anything to be close enough for you to teach me some of what you know.
Keep the tunes rollin'!

Rocky, I loved hearing your deskription of how you began your path to music. And, I am sure Walter has told you, we are all looking forward to hearing more of your discussion, but most importantly more of your playing! I really enjoyed "The Befuddled Fiddler"...your playing is still nice and strong. Those lyrics are quite something -- filled with muscial references, puns, and great humor. I can't wait to hear more.
Best regards, Dennis, Coeymans, NY (near Albany)

Hi Rocky: I am testing the message board. Walter
Rocky - you've got more character in your singing voice than half the old Chess Records blues roster put together! I absolutely loved listening to your music and hope you keep at it. Let's hear more!!
