"Death Penalty" new song by Slowpaw Steve TThe movie "Hang em High" made a big impression on me back in 1968, especially the famous multiple hanging scene - a bright sunny day, folks gathered singing hymns, it was much the same in Europe at the time, at London's Tyburn Tree by Hyde Park Corner people would gather to have a picnic and watch the hangings. You could get hanged for the most insignificant crimes then, tough justice for a downtrodden population including deportation. Hanging was finally abolished in England in 1964.The song is the first of nine new songs going on my new album "Folk of Oak" out in 2014.
