The Official Introduction
Check out this latest post on the Chicken Slacks Official Band Blog:
It’s Officially “Hammer Time!”
Folks, we want to officially introduce you to the latest member of the Slacks entourage, our new guitar player Mike “The Hammer” Null. Mike comes to us from San Francisco where he grew up singing in a world-class boys choir (no kidding!) where he travelled extensively performing for everyone from your grandmother to the Pope! That’s right, Mike’s larynx has been blessed by the holiest man on the planet. If it’s good enough for God, it’s good enough for the Slacks!
But of course Mr. Null (the name means “zero” or “absence of anything” which Mike tells us is a GOOD thing) can also play one mean guitar. One day a few years back he quit college to practice all day, and it certainly shows! The man has a great sense of rhythm and will tear your face off whenever we cut him loose with a solo! Those of you who have seen him in action will attest!
Of course the big question since Mike joined the group has been “What happened to Mighty Slim?” Well, it’s a sordid, foggy story that would make a great network mini-series someday, but as far as we can make out, Slim blacked out one night after the Cantab, woke up in the U.S. Navy, went AWOL because they wanted him to cut his hair, got shipwrecked on the Ivory Coast and fell in love with a rebel leader’s daughter. Soon after, she was killed in battle, and he was so heartbroken that he sought amnesty in China and is now studying Shaolin Kung Fu. He now goes by Mighty Sahn. We wish him well on his journey to find peace within himself.
I’d like to send out my thanks for the kind words!
