How Walter Finley Was Selected for Our Book

During two years of travels throughout India and the U.S. I selected people who had an important story and perspective to share on living through the pandemic. While in Lake Lure, North Carolina, we stumbled upon a concert performance by Walter Finley and April Dawn where he shared his story of a musical performer struggling during the pandemic.

This is the story of how and why I selected Walter for our anthology: Good News, Bad News, Who Can Tell? The Pandemic Reveals Wisdom: Stories, Poems, Essays, and Lyrics from the U.S. and India.
