The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 10/23 – Don Wall / David Easterling

October 23 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Born in Massachusetts in 1953, Don Wall lived in Texas for 40 years before moving to Nashville, Tennessee in 2022 with his wife Kimberly. Don is a singer/songwriter who writes catchy melodies with a good beat, timeless themes, and poetic lyrics. He calls them “Stories with a Beat.” They are intended for dancing, mostly a two-step. Don started his musical journey as a drummer, after watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. He played in rock and roll and blues bands in high school and college. In 1977, Don took a break from music, moved to New York City and began a 40 year career as a journalist. Don became a producer with ABC News and began writing articles for national publications. He moved to the ABC News Dallas bureau in 1984. When he moved to Texas he started playing drums again, adding country music to his rock and roll chops. In 1988, Don joined WFAA-TV in Dallas as the Fort Worth Bureau Chief, and working as an on air reporter. At the age of 40, Don began playing guitar, eventually writing songs, and playing with the Hot Corn Band, an Americana and bluegrass ensemble. Don has always been a writer. He wrote poems before he wrote songs. He has written for radio, television, newspapers, magazines, and has published three books. In 2025, Don released his first Nashville album called, Love, Texas. He performs regularly on stage in and around Nashville, and co-writes with established songwriters. Songwriting and performing challenge Don in ways he has never experienced. Whether on a stage in Nashville, in a circle, or playing for seniors in memory care, Don considers writing and playing music a privilege, a gift, and a rewarding experience he enjoys sharing. Don has two children and three grandsons.
