Picture by me. 😊💕

All will be well in my world (with my acoustic piano)

Here is the title track from the debut album from Penelope's Thrill, just released on Bandcamp (and Spotify, etc.). This album has been a labor of love, recorded and mixed over the past lockdown year in my tiny home studio (Yew Tree Studios).
You can find the complete 18-track album now on Bandcamp:
https://penelopesthrill.bandcamp.com/album/twilight-on-tunnel-road

The inspiration for the album actually came from the accidental necessities of the pandemic: On my regular trips down to my 88-year-old mother, who lives about an hour south of Madison, to bring groceries and supplies, I'd always drive home on the winding backroads, usually hitting Tunnel Road at sunset (see album photo). That route is now engraved on my mind: Marshall Bluff Road to Exeter Crossing Road, to Tunnel Road to Argue Road. This route roughly follows the very edge of the "Driftless" Region of Wisconsin, that is the area that was not covered by the glaciers during the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago. So along this route there are all sorts of rock outcroppings, drumlins, and other glacial artifacts, and you can often see the actual line where the glacier stopped. The area has a charged spiritual feeling, especially at twilight--a "thin place," as the Irish would say.
Anyway, week after week, month after month, the songs came to me as I drove back along this stretch and imagined the lives of Lonnie and Chloe (the focus of the album). I even picked out the exact farms where they lived....

For more about the album, including dozens of stunning photos of the region, check out the new Penelope's Thrill website, just launched in concert with the album:

Main guitars on this track are a Gretsch 5422T with a custom made solid brass bridge (which gives it a pretty unique tone) and a Gretsch 5622T (hitting the Bigsby).
LYRICS:
“Twilight on Tunnel Road”	
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

She was walking just to clear her head one night—
the sun was setting in the west.
She felt something in her soul was just not right.
She kept on walking on a quest.

She was walking and she…she was breathing and she…
looked at the sky, it was aflame.

Took her shoes off and walked barefoot through the grass.
The air it tasted like champagne.
Felt the wind run its fingers through her hair.
She wasn’t felling any pain.

She was walking and she…she was breathing and she…
realized she’d never be the same.

Walking out in twilight on Tunnel Road—
she don’t know it, but she’s walking into dreamtime 
in the night.
Walking out in twilight on Tunnel Road—
She can’t see it, but she’s walking toward the light.

She smells something that smells just like gingerbread.
She tastes nutmeg on her tongue.
It reminds her of the Christmasses she’s fled,
the innocence when she was young.

She was running and she…she was thinking and she…
never realized her name.

She was walking and she…she was breathing and she…
she knew that darkness was her name.

Twilight On Tunnel Road

Take your imagination to 
...a random day in an idealistic future of July 2098... revealing changes between now and by then:
Worldwide growing respect of social differences exhibits human evolution over revolution
European countries have united to one nation known as Europe
The USA has changed its name to America, which is divided into three states known as East, Mid. and West America.
Political parties have been replaced by a comprehensive independent system(IS)which has greatly improved the needs of the public due to improved distribution and social equality. Every vote accounts for each voter's choices. 
Households have artificial intelligence companions and pets
Gas vehicles are prohibited while all vehicles are autonomous and electric, hydrogen or solar powered 
Multi-directional hyperloops are the most popular means of long distance travel.
Citizen space travel is becoming less luxurious and more affordable 
86.3% of packaging is biodegradable
History and climate change has convinced society to reach a higher level of environmental priorities, knowledge and practices. 
Environment and population growth have become the most prominent concerns throughout the world, yet overall quality of life has improved significantly since the year in which you are now.

Down like That
Down like that
If you feeling me —-where I’m at
Lemme hear you say
Down like that
***verse1
I am the the real —-number one—bonafide —-numero uno
That’s the deal—-Do or die—-
Ask—-someone—That you know
been revealed—who I am—-
don’t really need —-an intro
Real appeal—this is why—
each discussion —might —seem nouveau
Verse2
As I sink into this mix —-don’t hold me ——let go 
And I’ve got it all baby —-even ———if it’s retro 
balancing act ——equilibrium———if you -can follow 
that’s a hard pill -to swallow——now—- come on let’s go
Feel the vibe ——in your body ———like an undertow
Tried and true ——-just a fax ———and you all know-the logo 
This is how I——mix and match —drink it up —it’s pure—mojo
Bridge
Level one up—
level ——-level one up 
I get down
level ——-level one up 
sound on sound 
level ——-level one up 
you’ll come around
Verse3
a new challenge —-to take on—
come on ———let’s —get down —
Accept my imperfections
A rap addict —reborn—-
hard as steel go on 
session after session 
honed and built for action ———
Like My name was Smith and Wesson
This is where ——I belong —--is there Anymore questions?

Verse4
Bet —I—-still——- flow over this ——--right tight!
How can I miss ——-push verses ——day and night
it’s just a fix ——-till I reach—-my new ——-heights ——
still deep in the mix———level one up —-Aight!!!
there’s always chance I’ll swing through ——you know I will 
that’s how I get down ————I got you——so—chill
But for now—this is all I can do— just—-until 
That time comes ——-take a sip —drink it up—— don’t— spill

Debut Album Now Out!! "Twilight on Tunnel Road"
Available now on Bandcamp: https://penelopesthrill.bandcamp.com/
(and streaming everywhere....)
For an immersive experience of the new album, visit the new Penelope's Thrill website at:

Penelope's Thrill is a lucky accident. Lured out of musical retirement by son Andrew, Timothy Walsh dusted off his guitars, including his favorite vintage Guilds and Gretsches, and picked up where he left off 25 years ago playing in garage bands in New Jersey and Boston. 
Tim founded Penelope's Thrill as the vehicle for his new songs, often pulling in other musicians from Madison and from around the world for particular tracks. Son Andrew occasionally appears on guitar or adding vocals. Wife Barbara also appears on keyboards and backing vocals.

     ***All tracks are recorded and mixed by Timothy Walsh at Yew Tree Studios (that is, a tiny upstairs room in my house nestled amid century-old yew trees). Recent songs are recorded with Logic Pro using hardware tube preamps, compressors, etc. Earlier tracks were recorded direct to a Zoom R8 recorder.
