Embracing the New Year

Dear Friends -

What a year 2016 has been. While many of us here in the USA are concerned for the future of our country, humanity, and mother earth -- all of which we love dearly, life does in fact go on (at least for the time being) and, that being the case, there is music to be made!

For those in the Monterey Bay area, Penny will be ringing in the new year performing on viola da gamba with the Cherry Trio for their annual New Year's concert at the Cherry Center in Carmel. This year's theme is "Mince Pies and Panettone" featuring an assortment of English and Italian styles from the 17th century including tasty tunes from Jenkins, Hume, Lawes, Marini, and Vitali:

For those more distant, we have recorded a brand new tune for your listening enjoyment. This comes out of a recent annual family tradition where Slim (because he's such a cheapskate) writes a love song or two on the occasion of Penny's birthday (in lieu of diamonds, pearls, or other earthly gifts). This one is called "No Greater Thrill" and also features the debut of Slim on pedal steel guitar:

Listen to it here.

Finally, in case you missed it, we released our new album "Procrastination" this year, which we are very proud of. There are multiple ways you can hear it, some of them free of charge or advertising:



The online player is at the bottom of the page here.

And special for you, our friends, here's a link to a free download of the entire album (not advertised elsewhere):

Hoping you all have a good year ahead, filled with love, peace, kindness, and compassion for our mother earth, and even for the messy humans that inhabit it ;-).

Our new CD has arrived!

Hi Folks -

Summer is just around the corner and as usual for this time of year, we have a bit of news to share.

Unfortunately, for the first time in 10 years, we don't have our usual gigs scheduled for this summer due to circumstances beyond our control. The Seascape Village Farmers Market is not happening this year and the Beach Shack at Seacliff State Beach is in transition to new management, so that gig is on hold for the time being.

On a much more positive note, our new CD "Procrastination" has arrived and you can listen to it in its entirety on our website free of charge. It's also for sale on CDBaby and will soon be available on iTunes as well as all the popular streaming services.


To listen to it and to read all about it (including what other folks are saying about it), just go to our website here.

We hope you are all well and enjoying the longer days as much as we are!
