01. DJ Hairy Larry Presents Mike McLeod
02. Something Blue - Wolves - 29 second spot

Thanks Marty, this week we're featuring a song written by an Arkansas songwriter and recorded at HairyLarryLand.

Mike McLeod, from Imboden, Arkansas, was a regular performer at the Craighead Forest Bandshell. He was always popular with the audience singing in the style of Willie Nelson and Jimmy Buffet. He would also get everyone to sing along on "Cover Of The Rolling Stone".

Sandwiched in between his popular covers he would play original songs and public domain material. So I approached him about recording an album at HairyLarryLand and he was definitely up for it.

We recorded the album in one session with Mike playing harmonica on a rack and acoustic guitar while he sang seven songs. There's something about playing songs for a live audience to develop performance chops that makes life easier in the studio. These songs were all recorded "live in the studio", exactly like a live performance with no edits or overdubs.

We called the album "Going Home" and there's a link to it on the Something Blue website at sbblues.com.

I am featuring some edgier songwriters on Something Blue this week so I picked a song with a strong lyric to play for you today.

Now, recorded at HairyLarryLand on October 24, 2009, here's Mike McLeod singing his original song, "A Hard One".

And that's Mike McLeod singing "A Hard One" from his album "Going Home". Don't miss Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00, to hear The A-Beez, Mountain Goats, and Jerry Joseph.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Bebop Beatniks Playing Sail Boats | Something Blue

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Bebop Beatniks Playing Sail Boats
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2023-11-05

Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear an original jazz song recorded this year at Blues Fest.

September 24, 2023, was the second Blues Fest with Doug Butler as stage manager. Vivian and I did Blues Fest for 25 years before we retired and it’s great to have someone else doing all the work while we get to go and enjoy the music.

So, thanks Doug.

I wrote “Sail Boats” during the pandemic and it’s featured on my “Hairy Larry Livestreams” album. When Bebop Beatniks started playing again it became a quick favorite and our trombonist, Rike Robinson, suggested that I write lyrics for it. So, one day, when I was driving in the car, I wrote the first verse. It’s a fantastic lyric all full of nautical references and song titles.

So, thanks Rike.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Paul Richardson Playing Kellys Blues | Something Blue
Posted on Monday November 20, 2023

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2023-11-11

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a piano trio playing the blues at KASU Jazz Thursday.

I met Paul Richardson at the piano store hanging out flyers for Blue Fest 91, the first Blues Fest. He said he had a group that would like to play, Jonesboogie Blues, so I booked them on the spot. I wasn’t really expecting him to bring a grand piano but he did and they played a great set. I have recordings, somewhere in the archive, so now I’m going to have to dig them out for a future podcast. Like a lot of jobs, the more work I do the more work I have to do.

Paul continued helping us with Blues Fest through all 25 years. He was also a frequent guest with Hairy Larry and The Flying Hungarians. He even came and played at the church one Wednesday night. So when I started booking KASU Jazz Thursday I got in touch with him right away.

On June 24, 2010, he was our featured act. Then he stayed to play with the Adhoc Combo. Playing with Paul, that night, was Corey Emerson, bass and Carl Abraham, Drums. All three were living in Northeast Arkansas at the time, each with storied music careers in the area.
