Delta Boogie Newsletter-Gamerplus News - November 2025 - Festivals, Halloween, D&D
#jazz #blues #fusion is playing at New Jazz In Jonesboro on November 8. The show starts at 7:00 and will be in the Brookland Methodist Youth Building at 301 W. Matthews in Brookland, Arkansas.
My fall festival season starts in August when I book The KASU Arkansas Roots Stage at Beatles Park in Walnut Ridge, part of the Beatles at the Ridge Festival and three days of Blues Fest at the Craighead Forest Bandshell. Promotion for these festivals begins in early September.

I spent time with many old friends and made some new ones including Charlotte Taylor, Carla Robinson, Detroit Johnny, Ben Ben, and Gregg Cook.

And there's more in the pipes. We've got a lot of talented musicians in Northeast Arkansas.
On the gaming front I have been playing in a Thursday night campaign and a Sunday afternoon campaign. Convention games and one offs are great but the best D&D experience is a weekly campaign with a good table. 5e isn't my favorite version but D&D is my favorite game and I am fortunate to be imagining the dream, twice a week.
I'm going to town to get some upichew.
What's upichew?
Not a lot. What's upichew?
Seriously. This has been a lot. What have you been doing? Music, gaming, whatever. We all want to know and, as they say on Mastodon, I boost a lot.
Let me know!

DJ Hairy Larry Presents John Shepherd Playing Too Rolling Stoned
From The Archives Of Something Blue – 2025-10-26
https://sbblues.com/2025/10/27/dj-hairy-larry-presents-john-shepherd-playing-too-rolling-stoned/
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear some great blues guitar recorded live at Blues Fest.
On September 16, 2007, John Shepherd brought his band, Idle Americans, to Blues Fest for another stunning performance. I was taping Blues Fest for Something Blue and I was fortunate to get excellent recordings.
John Shepherd is from Wynne, Arkansas, and he is a blues guitar virtuoso with a distinctive blues sound and his own unique style. The band, Idle Americans, has gone under many names but the musicians are also from Wynne.
Playing at Blues Fest in 2007 we heard
John Shepherd – guitar and vocals
Robert Fronabarger – guitar
Jeremy Burnett – harmonica and vocals
Barry Eppes – bass
and
Mike Riley – drums
And they delivered a great show of both blues and blues-rock. I picked a Robin Trower song to play today, “Too Rolling Stoned”.
So, here we go. Here’s John Shepherd and Idle Americans playing “Too Rolling Stoned” from their performance at Blues Fest 2007.
