Terrific story Richard and Little Walter would have loved to all those 'Dead President's.

Most of the people on this list know that I have a career as a consultant and author in IT. In that capacity, I was invited to the Federal Reserve in NYC this week to talk to an audience of about 500 people on the topic of my latest book.
So I arrive at the Fed, have lunch with the clients, tour the vault (which is filled with about $150 Billion in gold bars--I admit to being impressed), and then go to their auditorium to do my presentation. When I arrive, what do I hear on the loudspeaker but Little Walter's "Juke."
It turned out that my host, who I had known for some time, had taken to heart my advice to check out Walter. He now has a small but solid collection of Little Walter records, and he correctly presumed that I would like to make my entrance to Walter's music.
So there you have it. Little Walter has rocked the Fed. And about time, too.
Regards, Richard Hunter
