About the Authors

Martha Haehl: Martha can’t remember a time when she wasn’t singing—starting at an early age to harmonize with her sister and making up tunes
on the piano. In her adult life, Martha, torn between becoming a
math professor or a musician, ultimately decided to do both. Martha
plays multiple instruments (11 at last count) and is a song writer and
marathon jammer. In her many years as a musician, she’s played with
numerous groups from acoustic to rock ‘n’ roll. While a member
of Rosy’s Bar and Grill, Martha performed on Garrison Keillor’s
Prairie Home Companion radio program.

Mike Walker: Mike is an award winning writer and publisher who freelanced
for magazines and served for seven years as an editor for The Pitch,
a weekly paper in Kansas City. Mike is also the author of two books,
Cinemental Journeys, and Autos to Airwaves, Mantle to the Mob. In
2002 Mike acted on a lifelong dream and purchased his first ukulele
and he’s been addicted ever since. Mike especially loves Tin Pan
Alley and the blues. Mike and Martha met at a Kansas City weekly
potluck dinner where friends gather, dine, then retire to the living
room to make music.
