My friend Penny Hill

My friend Hilary, a.k.a. Penny Hill was recently featured in an article in the December 15th issue of the Oklahoma Gazette (on page 62, which you can see online here).  I have a lot of fond memories of listening to her write her first album in her room across the hall from me while we were housemates, and I was there when she performed for the first time in Norman.  These days, she’s a popular local artist who plays shows regularly and has released an album.  She has come a long way but always stays true to herself in the end, walking her own path.  She’s one of the most talented songwriters I know personally, and I feel really lucky to have had her musical spirit grow up next door to me.
