Slim Golba is considered to be one of Arizona's truely uniqie musical treasures. He has entertained the valley for over 30 years, playing in bands such as The Overtones, Space Rig, The Big Bang Jazz Band, B.A. Tango, Oso, Stained Glass Door, Sili Pudi, Tribes, and Gentry. Playing leads on his fretless bass through effects pedals, his sound has been likened to a cosmic violin.
Slim has been playing in "Just Intonation" for the past seven years; JI is music that uses pure natural harmonies instead of "equal-tempered" tones that the world adopted during the classical era. Slim's band, The Overtones, are a 6-piece pcychedelic pop band that play on his specially designed JI guitars.

This Overtones latest CD release, "Big Love For Citrus" is dedicated to Slim's daughter Citrus Seva Golba. Citrus lost her battle with Cystic Fibrosis at three years of age. She was an extremely happy and beautiful brown eyed little girl that made many works of art, played the drums, and danced to The Temptations. She loved her daddy's music and taking long walks and bike rides. Citrus touched more souls in her three short years than most people do in a lifetime. More can be read about her in "The passing of my niece" written by her Aunt Sherry in the blog section. May God be with you, Citrus.

What hope do we offer the nuclear race? And what do we do with the nuclear waste? We can’t bury it down, it can’t swim in the sea, So what do we do with this grim legacy? Well I’ll tell you the truth, and I’ll make it quite plain, We can’t shoot it in space, or let it wash down the drain.
So we leave it behind for the kids yet to come, That bittersweet taste of the nuclear bomb.
Well the kids of tomorrow have no words to say For the world we leave and the price they will pay.
Caretakers are we and for what do we stand? For the love of the life on this sacred land.
What hope for the child in this world of ill care Lies deep with the meek on a wing and a prayer, That these Gods will see reason for the land, sea, and air, And the hope in the future for the life that lives there.
Caretakers are we, and for what do we stand? For the love of the life on this sacred land.
What reason for money when you can’t breathe the air? And the oceans and lakes they lay barren and bare, And the streams and the rivers run sewerage and poison With no drink to spair, Caretakers are we, and for what do we stand? For the love of the life on this sacred land.
The ice caps are melting thers holes in the sky, we poison the earth for the sake of a lie, its time for the one and the all standing by to take hold of the reigns and put an end to this crime for we are the meek and now is our time,,,,caretakers are we and for what do we stand,, for the love of all life on this sacred land www. goodisplanetearth.
