'Shakey Walter' most likely is *not* Walter Horton, because Horton - born April 6, 1921 - would have been only 6 years old when the session took place

'Shakey Walter' most likely is *not* Walter Horton, because Horton - born April 6, 1921 - would have been only 6 years old when the session took place
