Hal Walker is an internet sensation. In his 50’s he probably never expected to be the cool guy on the internet, but his cool spirit, determination, and penchant for ancient instruments have made him a star.

Hal’s ticket to internet stardom started when he shared a video playing an ancient instrument from Laos called the Khaen - an ancient predecessor to the modern harmonica. The song became a TikTok hit, and it’s been remixed, sampled,and spread across the interwebs faster than “Gangnam Style” back in 2013.
