It is being played through a 1959 Magnatone amp. All of Tore's performances are "live" - he creates the lyrics and music spontaneously, hence, "Spontobeat". He has approximately 120 songs on his website. Contact: glosh@ap.net; websites: smiling-with-hope.org and Walter on Soundclick. (USA)

They Said You'd Never Make It by Walter Tore's Spontobeat. Recorded on June 14, 2004, at low volume in Tore's living room and features Douglas Ian McKenzie on bass and Katherine Stevens on drums.
