Wally Hopper
Rock Star

Starchild & Rock Star

I first saw Wally playing in a band called "Flyer" at Mama Leone's in Meridian.  I was fourteen and all my friends would go there for the 5¢ drafts.  I remember that he could sing like Robert Plant and play like John Bonham.  In 1983, he showed up for a tryout with the Flashbacks.  I didn't need to hear him play a lick--he was hired on the spot!  We played together for a few wild years until he moved to Minneapolis to play the circuit up there.  Sadly, I heard that he died and all I can say is that he is sorely missed.

Rest in Peace Rock Star...
