Inspired Unreality open game chat is tonight at 9:00 PM Central. Lately we've been chatting with Bruce or Alan so Caper's Song Book is on the back burner. It is open game chat, after all, so if you want to help Ari and Caper write the song of reckless spending called "Wee Will" we would be glad to do that.
Or, whatever you want to talk about. All gaming is on topic. Inspired Unreality is held every Monday night in the gamerplus chatrooms at Tenkar's Tavern on Discord. Never been? We've got an invitation for you here.

Thanks Marty, on this weeks From The Archives Of Something Blue I’ve got a Jack Johnson song recorded at the Craighead Forest Bandshell.
I met CJ Hoover singing in Astate Delta Vox. Every week I would walk from the music department to KASU to deliver Something Blue. And right there, on the benches behind the Communications Building, I would see CJ Hoover playing acoustic guitar entertaining the students as they passed. Kind of like busking without asking for tips. So I sat down and listened and I thought, “He’s pretty good”. I invited him to play at the Craighead Forest Bandshell.
On May 18, 2014, he entertained us with a set of contemporary rock songs. CJ, like just about everybody, is younger than me, so unlike everyone else in the audience I hadn’t heard a lot of the songs he was playing. I had heard Jack Johnson though, and I played him on Something Blue, because Jack Johnson is taper friendly and many of his shows are up on the Live Music Archive.
Now here’s CJ Hoover performing solo with acoustic guitar, playing a Jack Johnson song, “Better Together”, recorded at the Craighead Forest Bandshell on May 18, 2014.

Thanks Marty, on this weeks From The Archives Of Something Blue I’ve got a jazz standard recorded right here on the ASU campus.
ASU jazz students are the best. They play at my recitals and help me with my original compositions. So, I try to return the favor when I can and when Azul and Midori asked if I could record them in the Fine Arts Recital Hall I was pleased to help.
This wasn’t a recital. They just reserved an unscheduled time slot and took advantage of the hall’s acoustics. Playing at the session were Kevin Tinker, trumpet; Alex Ditto, guitar; Spencer Rawlins, bass; and Chris Issom, drums. I’ve enjoyed playing music with all of these musicians in ASU small groups and side projects. In fact, Kevin Tinker played in my band, Bebop Beatniks, for years and we still get to play with him sometimes.
So we all showed up. They played. I recorded. The rest is history.
Now here’s Azul and Midori playing a Horace Silver standard, “Song For My Father”, recorded right here at ASU on December 2, 2016.

And that’s Azul and Midori playing “Song For My Father” recorded December 2, 2016, in the Fine Arts Recital Hall. Don’t miss Something Blue Saturday night at 10:00 to hear more Azul and Midori, Ahmad Jamal, and Barry Harris.

Ten songs excerpted from Hairy Larry's twitch stream performed August 8, 2021.
Thanks Marty, on this weeks From The Archives Of Something Blue I’ve got a bluegrass band that turns out to be just one person.
I met John Spencer at Blues Fest and soon John and Tommy, The Spencer Brothers, were regular performers featuring Tommy singing old time country music mixed with some of John’s originals. They also played at several KASU events and were regulars in the audience at all of the KASU live music concerts.
One day John told me that he and Tom Turner had written some songs and he would like to record them at my studio. John was raised outside of Paragould and Tom Turner was raised down the road from me at Burnt Hill.
We started work recording and soon fell into a weekly schedule with John recording a song or two every session. Sometimes we had guest musicians and sometimes it was just me and John. The songs included protest music, folk songs, sea shanties, and calypso.
We still had a bluegrass number left to record. The bluegrass was a little bit different than what we had been doing because John played all the instruments, upright bass, guitar, banjo, and mandolin, as well as singing. In the end we had a song that sounded like it was recorded by a tight bluegrass band. You would never know by listening that it was the product of multiple overdubs.
And that’s the story behind “Dusty Old Arkansas Home”, written by John Spencer and Tom Turner and recorded at HairyLarryLand in 2011 with John Spencer singing and playing all the instruments.

Tonight on Inspired Unreality we are talking about books and stories. The opening topic will be The Origins Of Fantasy. Fantasy is the well spring that D&D grew out of. Do fantasy stories predate civilization? Or is there an era in literature when fantasy was born?
Inspired Unreality is held every Monday night in the gamerplus chatrooms at Tenkar's Tavern on Discord. For more info go here.

Last week Ari and Caper worked on Caper's Song Book. And we started on a list of songs for the book. Then we wrote this.
Song of perception
tin tin aree tin tin aroo
look about look about could be you
jump about jump about one and two
tin tin aree tin tin aroo
To be sung by the whole party twice through to increases alertness and perception.
Here's a link to my post about Caper's Song Book.

The problem with promoting your art on the web is that the internet is a bottomless bucket that will swallow whatever amount of promotion you can throw at it in an attempt to make you spend all your time on web promotion and no time making art.
But I can't do that! I have a performance schedule and I have a production schedule and they take time.
What works for me is flowing out of performance into production and then into promotion as an integrated workflow. My performance takes production realities into account. The production work keeps the promotion in mind. And the promotion is designed to be easy to do. Because, believe me, you can spend endless hours typing descriptions into text boxes and it will keep you up all night if you let it.

A bard's songbook is like a magician's spell book in that it contains words of power, songs for wind, songs for rain, songs to make the fire burn hotter and warm the room, songs of companionship to warm the heart.
I'm reading "The Broken Sword" by Poul Anderson. As they set sail to the frozen north he writes this.
"Let us away," said Mananaan. He and Skafloc stepped into the boat from the small dock and raised the glowing sail. The man took the steering oar while the godling struck a chord on his harp and sang:
Wind I call you, old, unresting,
from the deeps of sea and sky.
Blow me outward on my questing,
answer me with eager cry.
From the hills of home behind you,
out through shifting leagues of sea,
blow wind blow! My song shall bind you.
South wind, sea wind, come to me.
Come to set my vessel free.
At his music, a strong breeze sprang up and the boat surged forth into waves of cold and green that threw salt spray onto their lips.
- Poul Anderson, from "The Broken Sword"
I'm working on a song book for Caper. A song for wind, a song for rain, a song of warmth, a song of companionship, a song to give you courage.
If you have suggestions for Caper's book please leave them in the comments. Or if you have favorite bardsongs from fantasy literature or gaming point the way.

Thanks Marty. This week on From The Archives Of Something Blue we’ve got a song recorded at KASU Blue Monday way back in 2009.
Grant Garland brought an amazing band to Blue Monday in Newport on September 14, 2009. Grant played guitar and sang, Rob Alley was on trumpet, Derek Doyle on bass, and Ben White, drums. Grant and Derek are from Arkansas. Rob Alley taught at ASU. They played a great show including standards and a few originals from Grant’s 2009 release that he called “Grant Garland”.
I new Derek and Rob well, I recorded them and even played with them occasionally. But this was my first chance to hear Grant play and he knocked me out. I am so glad that I got good recordings of this show, the musicianship was exquisite.
Now here’s Grant Garland singing a song he wrote called “Somethin’ ’bout The Way You Smiled” recorded at KASU Blue Monday on September 14, 2009.
