   About Slimpickins
Slimpickins new CD Lagniappe PhotobucketPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketHERE IS A HOT LIVE VIDEO TRACK OF SLIMPICKINS IN THE WOODS Slimpickins is a boisterous 4 piece band that transports you back a 150 years. The band is a variety music show, with styles including New Orleans influenced tunes, klezmer, Cajun, ragtime, country blues, appalachian, sprinkled with some jazz and swing. Annie Ford from Virginia plays a smoking fiddle and sings like a voice from a 20's record. Jake Landry fingerpicks the guitar and has a low southern voice to be reckoned with. Slim Nelson of New Orleans is the one of the only bass players to be playing a rack harmonica at the same time. The aluminum bass ain't bad looking either. Eddy Tenderloin from McAllen, Texas first started eating with chopsticks then became a virtuoso using them on the washboard. He also doubles on guitar and vocals. Inspired by the The Great Depression and the current one, they seek to breath new life to these tunes and artists.   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
