DJ Hairy Larry Presents Hairy Larry Playing Bunnies
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-08-04

Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear a jazz song played to a rock beat.

During the pandemic I couldn’t play out but I still had to perform so I started livestreaming on twitch. To avoid copyright issues livestreaming I played only originals. After a few months of livestreaming 2 or 3 times a week I had settled in on 16 of my own compositions that I called my streaming repertoire.

I called my stream Hairy Larry Practicing Piano. It turns out that if you practice the same 16 songs week after week for two years you get pretty good at them. I had a routine. I’d record the stream. Then I’d listen back writing the song titles in order and I put a star next to the good takes. Then I’d make a video of the starred songs.

At first I would get two or three songs with stars but later on sometimes they would all be starred. And then I realized I had an album.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Hairy Larry Playing Freddy’s Blues
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-02-25

Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear a livestream version of one of my most popular songs.

During the pandemic I would livestream on Twitch. I called my channel, Hairy Larry Practicing Piano and that’s exactly what I did. I practiced my repertoire of original songs using iRealPro backing tracks as my metronome.

I licensed all of these audio and video recordings Creative Commons Attribution. What exactly does that mean?

It means that if you want to use one of these songs in your project whether it’s a movie, a game, multimedia, or whatever you have permission to do that as long as the song is attributed correctly with the magic words, Freddy’s Blues by Larry Heyl or Freddy’s Blues by Hairy Larry.
