DJ Hairy Larry Presents John T. Parks Playing Life
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-04-14
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a little philosophy from a fine Arkansas songwriter.
One of the benefits of volunteering to work at KASU and recording for Something Blue is that I get to meet so many great musicians. That’s how I met John Parks, recording him at KASU live events. And there’s been quite a few of them. I can even say that over the years we’ve become friends in music, one of the best kind of friends that you can have.
On November 11, 2014, KASU booked John T. Parks to play at the KASU Coffeehouse held at the Arts@311 in downtown Jonesboro. He played solo, standing there singing while accompanying himself on a 6 string guitar. I love duets, trios, and bands, and I’ve recorded John in all of these configurations. But there’s just something powerful about a solo performance.
Especially when the performer is playing all original songs. The truth rings clear from a single voice, words and music written by the singer.

Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear a tenor sax rendition of a jazz standard recorded at KASU Jazz Thursday.
Giant Steps was a jazz combo featuring some of Jonesboro’s finest jazz musicians. The core group had Craig Baker, trumpet; Joy Sanford, piano; Tom Mason, bass; and Mike Overall, drums. Formerly known as Nightlife they played standards and they were a good dance band.
When they played for us at Jazz Thursday they brought Mike McGowan, a former resident of Jonesboro now living in Texas. As you will hear he’s fantastic on tenor sax.

DJ Hairy Larry Present The Salty Dogs
From The Archives Of Something Blue June 18, 2023
Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear an original country song I recorded at KASU Bluesday Tuesday.
I had been promoting The Salty Dogs on Delta Boogie and Something Blue for several years. Brad Williams sent me their CDs and I was knocked out. I mean how does a band sound progressive and old time country at the same time. Their country sound has a lot of rock and gospel included. I guess I would say they are a country band that rocks and sings gospel from the heart.

Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear the Queen of Memphis Blues sing a song her husband wrote about his ex.
Vivian and I have known Reba Russell and her husband Wayne since the nineties, back in the Blues-L days. I’ve heard her play at The King Biscuit Blues Festival, the Arkansas Roots Festival, and the KASU Blue Monday and Bluesday Tuesday shows. Before the pandemic my band, The Emporium Orkestra, would entertain blues fans at The Biscuit with our morning shows and Reba and Wayne would stop by to listen and eat breakfast.
The song we’re hearing today was recorded at KASU Bluesday Tuesday on November 13, 2012. I was singing with Delta Vox at Riceland Hall that night so Mike Doyle, who was then the station manager at KASU, made the recordings. And since I couldn’t run sound for Reba, Mike asked Sonny Burgess to do the sound work. As you will hear, they both did great.

Thanks Marty, this week we’re hearing a jazz standard recorded at KASU Jazz Thursday.
Matt Jackson played bass in NJHB, the New Jazz House Band, for New Jazz In Jonesboro. He also played with us at the bandshell and at my Senior Recital.
Like many talented bass players he played in more that one band. So when I started booking Jazz Thursday for KASU he mentioned that he also played in the Steve Davis Trio. I was happy to get them on board.

In the summer of 2018 Bebop Beatniks recorded the album “Leaves” at my HairyLarryLand studio. It was fun to work on some originals without the stage pressure of a live show. You will hear Sid Davis – trumpet, Tyler Remagen – sax, Emily Lindley – vibes, Alex Washam – drums, Paul Nunis – bass, and I’m on piano. At the time of the recording we were on summer break from classes at ASU, we were all students except for Paul who is on the faculty. Everyone solos except me. I wrote the song. Here’s Bebop Beatniks now, playing “In The Zone”.
