Cowboy Boots and Golden Slippers Album

Stream it: Cowboy Boots and Golden Slippers on Spotify

Our inspiration for our album Cowboy Boots and Golden Slippers came from performing as Slim and Minnie. Traveling with the Nevada Gunfighters Theatrical Acting Troupe, we sang these songs and played these tunes Out West as the musical act to warmup the crowd and entertain between the cowboy and gunfighter scripts. What a hoot that could be, performing in the clouds of gun powder with sherrifs and villains and (ahem!) soiled doves! These were our friends and we had a lot of fun times doing the gunfighter shows in California and Nevada. You can find videos of us singing some of the songs on this CD as Slim and Minnie during Nevada Gunfighters shows. One of the videos is super popular! It's Juanita, a well known Spanish themed ballad.

As Slim and Minnie, we branched out and performed our duet singing and playing accordion, mandolin and guitars for other venues, like the Nevada State Fair, Plumas County Fair and Carson Rendezvous. One day, while standing in line at a fast food restaurant, one of the young men told us he was a big fan of Slim and Minnie when he was growing up and his parents would take him to the Plumas County Fair every summer, where we were strolling and singing all the cowboy songs. Now that was an amazing experience, to be told that you were a happy memory of someone's childhood.
