While Wally (hopefully) takes a little break from world-wide fame, his infectious hit "Somebody" makes it way to YouTube's all time top 30 videos! Congrats, Wally! Now take a nap!

Take A Bow
A really nice pic from the last night of the US tour, April 19th. Almost brings a tear to a fan's eye. Hope our favorite boy will be back soon....
