DJ Hairy Larry Presents John Shepherd Playing One Eyed Jack
From The Archives Of Something Blue May 7, 2023
Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a brand new blues rock song recorded in Wynne, Arkansas.
Mr. John B. Shepherd is famous for his live blues guitar shows. I like to say, "I ain't saying John Shepherd is better than anyone else, but there sure ain't nobody else that plays better than him."
John also has a studio in his basement in Wynne, Arkansas. John calls it StudioJS. We recorded some of the tracks there for our Delta Legends album, "Two Woman Blues".
Well, this winter John got to work down in his studio and recorded a new album, "Guitar Soul", that we are planning to release on HairyLarryLand. And from that album we'll be hearing a pre-release version of "One Eyed Jack". Our friend, Michael Riley, played drums on the album but on this song John used Zoom drums built into his multitrack recorder.

Hairy Larry Presents Joe Lee And Friends Playing Misty
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2023-04-30
Thanks Marty, today we'll hear a piano feature on a jazz standard recorded for Alley Records.
When Joe Lee said he wanted to record another album playing the charts that he arranged to tour with, I was all in. I ended up as recording engineer and coproducer of the album "Boppin' At The Forest". It was a privilege to work with Joe Lee and all the fine musicians in his band, Joe Lee and Friends.
Joe decided to record the Erroll Garner standard, "Misty", featuring Joy Sanford on piano. As you will hear Joy stepped up and did a fantastic job on this Joe Lee arraangement.
Playing on the track were Joy Sanford, piano; Joe Lee, tenor sax; Craig Baker, trumpet; Dru Davison, Bari Sax; Tom Mason, bass; and Mike Overall, drums. They all played and taught in the Jonesboro area. It has been wonderful to work with all of these musicians, over the years, at Blues Fest, Jazz Thursday, and other KASU shows.
"Misty" was released on the Joe Lee and Friends album, "Boppin' At The Forest", recorded in the Spring of 2001. Here it is now, featuring Joy Sanford on piano.

BODY OF WORK is an intimate new album of songs from throughout my catalog, revisited and undressed.
It’s been twenty years since I wrote my first good song. Before that, I loved songs from afar, with all the ache and daydream teenage love requires. I was sixteen, sitting on the porch, up early having never gone to sleep. I felt like I had been let into the center of the universe.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Brian Henkelmann Playing Bop Soup
From The Archives Of Something Blue April 23, 2023
Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a solo piano composition performed in the Fine Arts Recital Hall.
When I wrote "Bop Soup" I was taking piano lessons from Harriet O'Neal and Dr. Tacke was my composition instructor. So thanks to both for helping me prepare this piece.
On November 8, 2013, Brian Henkelmann performed the song at my Senior Recital. He did such a great job playing it that I made it the title track on my album, "Bop Soup", consisting of all ten songs played at my recital. The song holds up after repeated listenings over the years. Both my work, writing the piece, and Brian's performance, live and recorded, are excellent.

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.

Reba introduces the band including Doug McMinn on drums. Doug is the son of Papa Don McMinn, another Memphis Blues Legend. Don McMinn passed away in 2017.
And then there's a whole story about the song that Wayne wrote for his ex-wife. I'm gonna let Reba tell you about that, better than I possibly could.
So now, here's Reba Russell, singing the Wayne Russell song, "Almost A Memory" at KASU Bluesday Tuesday on November 13, 2012.
