Did Wally himself set this up?

Ginger passed away May 19, 2000 at the young age of 59.  (She came to be with us on Christmas Day 1999 with the hope treatment for her cancer would buy some time.)  We later flew to SF and had a wonderful celebration of her life.  There is a memorial bench in Golden Gate Park with her name that reads “for the city she loved, etc.”  I would love to hear any and all stories you might have about Ginger.  We visited every year and spent many hours with her at the Fillmore, Heider Studio (Christmas party), and enjoyed all the stories–Airplane/Starship, Doobie Brothers, Grateful Dead–hope to return again this year–what a wonderful time!  Thank you in advance!  Vicki

Welcome

Welcome to the Recording Wally Heider site. We aim to chronicle the life and times of Wally Heider, his studios and the people who worked and created there. We celebrate the technology of the time as well, and welcome articles of interest to the technically inclined.

This site can only exist with the participation of the people who were there. If you have any stories or photos to post, please do. Enjoy!
