Hi Folks -
A quick update on our musical adventures…
We have a new free web single available to stream or download. Penny wrote and arranged this tune and it was featured on her 1988 album "Often Running". This is a new instrumental version based on her original arrangement. The lyrics (not heard here) are a biting commentary on Reagan's Iran Contra war (e.g. "For every child in the barrio, a pound of pain in lethal aid, from our unholy crusade."). Here, we focus on the musical brilliance and beauty behind "Smoke on the Land”.
This Sunday (October 18, 2015) will be our last Slide Man Slim & Penny Hanna gig of the season, closing out our annual summer stint at the Seascape Village Certified Farmers Market in Aptos, CA. We always have a great time playing there and, well, the more the merrier, so please stop by if you’re in the area and shop, dine, and/or just hang and enjoy the music. The fun goes from 11am to 2pm and details are here.
This winter we hope to finish off a few more tunes that we’ve been working on in the studio and maybe even release a new album next summer (if life doesn’t get in the way too much). It’s what I call a soft goal — don’t want to rush it or anything (our last album was released in 2007).
For your amusement, check out our newish website — lots more music and commentary sprinkled around these pages: SlimAndPenny.com
Finally, on behalf of Penny and myself, please have a wonderful autumn!
- Slim.

New Website! New Recording! Summer Dates!
Hi Folks -
Hope this finds you all happy and well!
As we pull into the summer months, we have a few things to announce:
We finally had the opportunity this winter to spend some quality time in the project studio and will be posting the results on our new website as we finalize the mixes, with some or all of these cuts possibly ending up on a new album some day (hope that's vague enough). First up is one of Slim's tunes "When I Am Dreaming". Not going to say much about this cut other than we haven't recorded with this particular vocalist in a very long time (circa 1980).
Memorial Day weekend is upon us and, as usual, it marks the beginning of our weekend apperances at Seacliff State Beach (Saturdays 12 - 2pm) and the Seascape Village Certified Farmers Market (Sundays 11am - 2pm). Details are here: slimandpenny.com/web/schedule
Yes, we have a glorious new website with all new content including three multimedia stories about how we stumbled our way to non-fame and non-fortune while enjoying ourselves immensely every step of the way (see the "about" pages). Note that PennyHanna.com and SlideManSlim.com now both redirect to the new site:
SlimAndPenny.com
Enjoy!
