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.
