in memory of the walking man: marc abrams

My memories of living in LA are good ones. And "The Walking Man" was apart of that memory. Two years ago Marc Abrams passed away.  His daily walks inspired many folks in the community to exercise and live healthier.   And if you knew "The Walking Man", than you definitely lived in Silverlake or Echo Park or Los Feliz.  I can't believe it's been 2 years.  When I first heard the news that "The Walking Man" was gone, I wrote this song:



"The Walker"

You walk through the hills
Come rain or shine
I knew I would see you
passing by

You walk everyday
Through the streets of LA
I can still see you by the reservoir
In Silver Lake

You gave a piece of your heart to this town
I can't believe you won't be walking around, anymore
