WALKIN' TALKIN' BILL HAWKINS... In Search Of My Father
 
"Walkin' Talkin' Bill Hawkins...In Search Of My Father" is an inspiring, heartfelt story of self-discovery that celebrates Black culture and the rich legacy of Black radio. The 90-minute solo show tells the intimate story of Taylor's life-long search for his father, Bill Hawkins, the first Black disc jockey in Cleveland, Ohio. Infused with the lively sounds of rhythm & blues, gospel and jazz music that made Bill Hawkins so acclaimed, Taylor skillfully portrays a range of richly defined characters in the journey to discover his roots.

The one-man show received the San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Award for Best Solo Performance in 2006 and was critically acclaimed in Cleveland in 2007 where it inspired the posthumous induction of Bill Hawkins into the Radio/Television Broadcasters Hall of Fame of Ohio.

Listen to the captivating episode of National Public Radio Lost and Found Sound featuring W. Allen Taylor searching for his father's voice. Go to www.walkintalkin.com and click on media.
