Here's the Latest

 1/8/21 

Art is a uniquely human endeavor.  Perhaps it is an effort to express our emotional state on observing the beauty and the horror of the world.   

I have always been mistrustful of those who would censor, or otherwise suppress artistic expression.  Is it because they cannot  see the beauty?  Or maybe they do not want the horrors they’ve spawned to be shown.

The Folknet virtual concert series in full swing now.  Look for them and many other folk music things here.   folknet.org

   You can find more videos at my YouTube page.  Find it here.

 Added another short poem today.  Check it out here. 

  I keep mentioning Carmen Kelley.  She is a first rate solo singer-songwriter in her own right.  Here is a link to her website.   Carmen Kelley Music

Yes, I do play private parties and assisted living events.  Send an email to ed@edmanwalkin.com for details.

Still looking for some new “listening room” type bookings.   Watch this space for updates and new shows. 

Thank you all so much for your support and for supporting the venues where I perform.

It is one of those that if you hear it you will spell it wrong and if you see it you will say it wrong. All that said it is my name so, here's an audio clip of how to pronounce it.

Mike's words

12/15/18 

What follows are the words of my dear friend Michael Wilsterman.  

“Acceptance, Forgiveness, Kindness, Compassion and True Caring: this is what love is and I am always striving to integrate these things into my every thought, my every action in every moment of my existence.”   Michael T. Wilsterman 

He will be missed by all who knew him and we would all do well to try to follow his example.   I try and frequently fail but I will keep trying in order to better honor his memory.

“Where words fail, music speaks” - Hans Christian Anderson 

edmanwalkin is Ed Amann, Guitarist, songwriter and folksinger.    Oral tradition* folk music, blues, hilljazz (Ed's country with a jazz attitude, old standards with a down home twang.)  Ed performs songs from many eras and across several genres.  The songs Ed writes are right at home in this wildly eclectic mix. 

Ed can be reached through the contact me page or at edmanwalkin@yahoo.com

 

 

 

 

“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without” – Confucius

 

 

* Oral tradition means that in nearly all cases the songs are performed from memory without the use of cheat sheets, teleprompters or backing tracks.
