Thanks Marty, today I'm going to read a fantasy story that I wrote. With a musical background that I wrote.
One of the best things about being a music composition student is getting other music students to help with composition recitals. When you write a piece with six parts, many of them on expensive instruments, it's not easy to arrange to have the piece read. Unless you're in a music department filled with excellent musicians who love to play and help each other out on recitals as a matter of course.
On "Elphonium" you will hear Caitlyn Lyerly - flute, Al Clevenger - vibes, Josh Huffstutler - marimbas, Gabe Waters - bass, Chris Isom - drums, and Hairy Larry reading spoken word. These students are all from Northeast Arkansas or Southeast Missouri and they were all in the ASU jazz program. So here's a big shout out to these students and all the other students who helped with my recitals over the years. And years and years. Yes, I was in the music department for almost 20 years.
Now about that story.
I originally published "Elphonium" on my website, SFF Short Stories and then as a minizine. I was inspired by a piece of art by indrikoff at Deviant Art. I will post links to the story, the minizine and the art at the Something Blue website, sbblues.com.
The story is about a king who went riding with his jester and his groom into a magic forest where they were ensorcelled by music played by elves on the Elphonium.
After I wrote the music for Elphonium I wanted to be sure that the spoken word part was short enough to fit in the space provided for it in the score. So Vivian and I went over every sentence deleting every unecessary word and random thought that wasn't required by the story. They say that 90% of writing is rewriting. Most rewriting is taking out the stuff you don't really need.
On the day of the recital I had prepared a slideshow of public domain artwork by Arthur Rackham, a famous fantasy artist who worked in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
So the artwork is public domain except for Elphonium which was used with permission. The story and the music were written by me and I have licensed them Creative Commons Attribution so others can use and build on this work just like I used the art of Arthur Rachham. And thanks to Indrikoff for giving me permission to use his fantastic drawing of a magic horn.
The entire recital was released as an album.
So now, recorded at the ASU Bandroom on November 30, 2018, here's my piece, the title track of my album "Elphonium"

Posted on Thursday September 19, 2024Hi. 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.
My Mastodon address is
@hairylarry@gamerplus.org
My profile is at
https://gamerplus.org/@hairylarry
And my email is
hairylarry@deltaboogie.com
Also you can Network With Hairy Larry at
https://deltaboogie.net.
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.

The alien came to the library again, shortly before closing time, and quickly found a book.
"May this entity borrow The Complete History of Knitting?"
They always return the book they borrow after five minutes, but the ritual of checking it out seems important to them.
