New Slide Man Slim & Penny Hanna instrumental

Written by yours truly. I play chromatic harmonica, pedal steel (E9/B6), standard guitar and all the MIDI stuff on this one. Penny on bass guitar and saxes.

WARNING: Listening to this music might just leave you with a "Contact High"!

Really nice Slim, Harmonica playing reminds me of Toots!

Thanks Craig! Toots was a real trail blazer on the chromatic.

Good one Slim! Even though I am not a jazz player, I loved the music. If you don't like this, you don't like ice cream!
Keep'em coming.

Thanks Roy! Never been compared to ice cream before, but I'll take it

.

An aside: back in the mid-70's we used to play a club in Round Rock fairly regularly (trying to remember the name). I'm guessing we wouldn't recognize the area now

I was reminded of this song from your great performance

Keep up the great work Slim

Yeah, that's a very cool cut Craig.

In case you weren't aware, this was released recently -- Jaco's 1982 live show from NPR (with Toots) -- it's wonderful:

Very nice. Got some great sounds from the MIDI patches, bass, harmonica, saxes and steel. I wasn't ready for it to end when it did.

The weak link seems to be the sound of the claps. Might want to check out this VST bundle: https://www.pluginboutique.com/products ... aps-Bundle

I listened to some of your other songs too. I was quite taken with "Smitten". All the songs I heard sound good and have great arrangements.

Thanks so much Jim!

As for that VST bundle, I have it and that is exactly what I used

. I kind of like the sound I got on the claps, but there's always room for improvement!
