Thanks Marty, it’s so great to be with you all on Arkansas Roots playing songs From The Archives of Something Blue.

On October 23, 2010, Bebopalooza, sponsored by KASU and the Music Department was held at The Edge Coffeehouse right here in Jonesboro. The Ad Hoc Combo played a blues I cowrote with Richard Murray called “Not There Yet”. Featuring Ron Horton, trumpet; David Hall, sax; Craig Collison, vibes; Corey Emerson, bass; Mike Overall, drums; and Hairy Larry, guitar we delivered on a slow blues. Here we are now playing “Not There Yet”.

Thanks Marty, I just love being here on Arkansas Roots with some great jazz From The Archives of Something Blue.

I met Tim Moore and Clinton Curtis when they were still in High School, jamming at Jazz Alliance shows at The Edge Coffeehouse. When they came to ASU they helped me with some of my recitals and I started recording Tim’s band, Caprice. Tim left ASU for North Texas State, another top jazz school, but he was back in 2014 on summer break. Jazz musicians love to play and when he called me about performing I got him to bring a band to Jazz Thursday on June 15, 2014. Some of the musicians playing with him that night were ASU students, Alex Ditto, guitar; Cody Ballard and Clinton Curtis, sax; Kevin Tinker, trumpet; Addison Boling, drums; and Matt Bounds, bass. Tim Moore was on piano and here they are now playing Funky Palisades.

This is Hairy Larry inviting you to enjoy Something Blue every Saturday night at ten. This week we’re featuring Jam Just Happened and Soulive. For more about the show visit the Something Blue website at http://sbblues.com.

Writing Quests
by Larry Heyl

A story is said to have a beginning, a middle, and an end. This is a simple and reliable guide for writers. Somewhere along the way, in the creative process, a light is switched on and the writer sees where the story is going. Once the end is discovered the middle falls into place. That is, the middle part is shaped by the end part providing the necessary bits that allow the story to end convincingly.

Sometimes a quest is well run and well played and produces a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. But more often not. In fact producing such a story is not the purpose of the game. It is a possible side product but not the goal. I think the players immersion into the fantasy setting and their identification with their characters are far more important to enjoying the game than any derived story everyone becomes aware of after the fact.

The Wizard and the Djinn

Setup

The party wakes up in the morning next to a clear running creek. There is a slight chill in the air so they stir up the fire and make hot tea. They eat fruit and biscuits with their tea as they trade stories around the fire.

(DM hint: time permitting go around the table with the stories allowing the PCs to fill in their backstory and add items to their character sheet.)

They hear a noise in the woods and they all look to see what it is. When they look back there is a striking figure wearing a pointed hat and holding a staff standing next to the fire. The wizard addresses the party saying “I’m Randolph the Red and I need your help with a quest. There is a famous Djinn, Coriandor, who has disappeared. He had a spell book I need called The Pink Omnibus. He also had gold and jewels. I don’t need the treasure, you can keep that. But I need the spell book and if we find his lamp I want that too. Grab your packs and fill your water bags. You’ll need water where we’re going.”
