Before the pandemic I went every year. First to dance and then to play. Not that I didn't dance and play every year.
I last attended in 2019. I played with The Emporium Orkestra at Downtown Bar and Grill. Delta Legends played on the Cedell Davis Stage. And I played with all my friends at Tent City and Helena Handbasket.
I am so looking forward to this. It's gonna be great. I'm taking my guitar, harmonicas, and my piano. I hope I don't get too tired.
I can't wait to see my friends again and eat another biscuit.

Blues Fest has been relocated near the park entrance because of electrical problems at the bandshell.
Enter Craighead Forest Park at the main entrance. Blues Fest will be on the left. If you get to the roundabout you've gonne too far.

Last Sunday we had a good time at the bandshell for the first day of Blues Fest this year. The featured acts were Bebop Beatniks, The Spencer Brothers, and Doug Butler. I record video and audio and I have already started work on some of last Sunday's recordings.

Last Saturday, September 21, these Blues Fest acts played on the KASU Arkansas Roots Stage at the Beatles At The Ridge Festival in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas.
Bebop Beatniks, The Spencer Brothers, Mike Mcleod, Anna and the Tanks.
We had rain and started an hour late. I want to thank Doug Butler who skipped his set to put us back on schedule. Doug will be playing at Blues Fest on Sunday, September 29.
Doug is carrying the load putting on Blues Fest. I help how I can with scheduling and promotion but I'm too old to do all the work that's involved.
I shot video of all the acts. Here's the Bebop Beatniks video.
We did get to talk to Joe Gordon at the Arkansas Roots stage. He's a fantastic bass player who helped us many times at Blues Fest.
I want to mention Reyzadren who joined G+DBN. He's into music and gaming just like me. If you're on the fediverse with Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, etc. you can contact Reyzadren here.
@reyzadren@gamerplus.org
And if you're not on Mastodon I encourage you to join Gamer+ aka G+DBN here.
Let me know what you've been doing. Do you have new music? Have you been playing any games? I want to spread the word on Gamer+, Delta Boogie, and in this newsletter.
I hope to see you at Blues Fest.
Thanks,
Hairy Larry

Hi. I'm here to talk about Plain Text Programs, what they are, what they do, why they're good, and why they're not for everything. Right up front I'm requesting feedback on what I have to say. I'm on Mastodon and I'll start a thread for each podcast or you can reach me by email.
In the future I plan on doing podcasts on specific Plain Text Programs, some that I wrote and some that were written by others. Any program that I will discuss will be licensed with a free culture license.
The first thing I want to emphasize about Plain Text Programs is that there's no database like SQL or LLM. All text data is written in plain text files stored on a file system.
