As Time Flies By...

If you're anything like us, you find yourself living in "interesting" times about now, and it can be difficult to keep up with all the craziness as each day unfurls its madness. But music helps to keep us grounded and just sane enough to carry on, which brings us to our recent activities in that space:

We've been doing some more recording in our project studio and should have some new tunes to post online over the summer. Meanwhile, Penny's been busy working up solo viola da gamba repertoire (video below) while continuing to play alto sax with the the Cabrillo College jazz ensemble and directing the choir at the Stroke Center there. And Slim's been spending a fair amount of time getting acquainted with his pedal steel guitar.

On Memorial Day weekend, we begin our eleventh season playing  at Seacliff State Beach (Aptos, CA)  on Saturdays from 12 - 2pm through Labor Day weekend (details are here).

And here's a special treat, recorded live at the Santa Cruz Public Library's "Munching with Mozart & Friends" series last month, an excerpt from Penny's solo viola da gamba performance. It's "Partita Solo XII" by August Kühnel (1645 - c.1700):

Have a fun (and musical) summer, but do pay attention to that other stuff -- could be important ;-).

Wishing you our best,
