Bywyd cynnar

Ganwyd Walden yn Louisiana ar 13 Chwefror 1950, a'i fagu yn Houston, Texas. Graddiodd o Ysgol Uwchradd Lamar yn Houston ym 1967. Yn y coleg, astudiodd wyddoniaeth a mathemateg, a thra yr oedd yn yr ysgol gweithiodd ar sioe radio hwyr y nos yn KRBE yn Houston a chwarae gitâr mewn clwb nos glas.^[3]

Enw canol Walden oedd enw olaf ei fam cyn priodi a dyma darddiad ei lysenw. Weithiau roedd aelodau o'i deulu ei fam yn cael eu galw'n 'Snuffy' ar ôl y gwneuthurwr snisin Deheuol Levi Garrett. Anerchodd ei deulu a'i gyd-ddisgyblion ef fel Garrett, ond dechreuodd yr enw 'Snuffy' lynu pan oedd i ffwrdd mewn gwersyll haf ac roedd yr enw yn well gan ei gyd-gerddorion wrth i'w yrfa ddechrau.^[4]
