After pestering Jon for a few months, I finally convinced him to come onto The Waltons Podcast!  Unfortunately for me, I had a technical breakdown and needed to record this discussion in a very unconventional way so I apologize ahead of time for the audio issues!  Jon was incredible and I had such a great time discussing everything from cars, guitars, his music and his time on The Waltons! I hope you enjoy this discussion! *At the end of the discussion is a sample of the first track off of Jon's newest cd, Earl Hamner - A Joyful Noise which is a mixture of Earl Hamner's spoken works over Jon's incredible music! You can buy this lovely CD on Jon's website https://www.jonwalmsleymusic.com
