Don Walser, local country musician and yodeler extraordinaire, has died of complications from diabetes according to News8Austin.
Don hadn’t played out for several years. I’m guessing it was due to his health. He had a recurring gig at Emo’s back in the late 90’s, introducing “the kids” to some good old fashioned country music and yodeling with his Pure Texas Band. I saw him there a couple of times. He always had a smile and was a very personable guy. His death is a loss for the Austin music scene. He’ll be missed.
