Thanks Marty. This week on From the Archives of Something Blue we’re hearing some great jazz from a Jonesboro jazz master.
First I helped Joe Lee digitize some of hs Alley hits for his “Sounds Of The Sixties” CD. We developed a good working arrangement so he invited me to work with him on another CD. This would be a jazz CD featuring songs he had recorded at Alley and also a live performance of “What’s New”.
As we collected the material from his master tapes I realized we were doing something important. These Joe Lee arrangements and performances archive an era of swing jazz that’s an important part of music history.
I didn’t make the recordings but Vivian and I worked hard to assure that the best possible quality went on the CD, both the music and the cover art. Joe was appreciative and he gave me coproducer credits on the album. We went on from there to coproduce another album I did record, “Boppin’ At The Forest”, but that’s a story for another From The Archives episode.
Here he is now, Joe Lee, singing a jazz standard released on his “Swings On” album, “Sweet Lorraine”.

Thanks Marty. This week on From the Archives of Something Blue we’re hearing contemporary blues recorded at the Arkansas Roots Festival.
Sweet Angel is from Memphis and I had been playing her songs on Something Blue and promoting her act on Delta Boogie for years so when I saw she was booked for the Arkansas Roots Festival I was excited that I would get to hear her sing.
She did not disappoint. There’s no music like live music and yes, experiencing Sweet Angel live is an entirely different experience from listening to her recordings. She’s a fantastic vocalist and songwriter and she also plays a mean saxophone.
Here she is now, Sweet Angel, singing a song she wrote called “I’d Rather Be Myself”.

Thanks Marty. This week on From the Archives of Something Blue we’re hearing Bebop Beatniks recorded at the Delta Jazz Workshop.
The Delta Jazz Workshop is a week long summer jazz clinic available to any musician who wants to attend but it’s mostly Arkansas high school students who might be interested in continuing their music studies at ASU. Besides playing music all day the students also get to listen to live jazz every night. It has been my pleasure to bring Bebop Beatniks to play on Wednesday nights for several years.
On July 10, 2019, we had a special performance since we were joined by Bebop Beatniks alumnus, Kevin Tinker, trumpet, and Emily Lindley, vibes, as well as guest clinicians Michael McGowan, sax, and Jay Shepherd, guitar.
Bebop Beatniks are Jeremy Jackson, bass; Alex Washam, drums; and Hairy Larry, piano and vocals. So it was a Septet with two horns in front and an enlarged rhythm section.
Playing with these great musicians for a jazz audience was a fantastic experience.
Recorded right here at ASU on July 10, 2019, here’s Bebop Beatniks playing the jazz standard “It Could Happen To You”.

Tonight! On Inspired Unreality Ari and the Milyagon witch continue researching the potion book that Ari's cat Tude found near the witch's garden. So far they have tested a brew that enables far sighted telescopic vision. When stirred with the silver wand King Groads sent to the witch they also enabled microscopic vision. A kind of a scrying tea with a twist. They have decrypted another recipe that may be a love potion.
Join us on Inspired Unreality tonight to test a love potion or just to chat about gaming. Everyone is welcome. All gaming is on topic.
Inspired Unreality is held in the gamerplus chatrooms every Monday night at 9:00 at Tenkar's Tavern on Discord. If you haven't been we have an invite for you here.

Eight songs excerpted from Hairy Larry's twitch stream performed June 5, 2021.
Everyone wants to buy equipment but nobody wants to think about workflow. Yet, without a well defined idea about anticipated workflow it's difficult to even know what equipment to buy.
One of the advantages of livestreaming is simplified workflow. For instance.
Prepare for the stream.
Do the stream performance.
Check your stats.
Twitch keeps your streams online and it's possible to download them if there's one you want to save. I press the record button in Streamlabs OBS and record everything. So I need big hard drives, video eats disk space. This is how workflow drives equipment purchases.

Join us tonight on Inspired Unreality open game chat. Will Ari and Caper explore new tea blends? Will the witch learn more about the silver wand King Groads gave her? Or will we just chat about games and gaming? Nobody knows??? Because we're winging it!

I posted another article about Setting Up A Twitch Studio where I discuss workflow. In any job workflow is important. In video production a streamlined workflow is essential. I know workflow sounds boring and wonky but it's not. This may be the most important article in the series.

Thanks Marty. This week on From the Archives of Something Blue we’re hearing some real blues recorded at Bluesday Tuesday.
Billy Jones Bluez is from Central Arkansas so Bluesday Tuesday in Newport was a good fit for them with less travel time than driving all the way to Jonesboro. I got to record them at KASU Bluesday Tuesday on August 9, 2011, and I have played recordings from this show on Something Blue many times.
What can I say about Billy Jones? He writes great songs and also picks great cover songs for his repertoire. He’s an outstanding guitarist and vocalist. He leads a great band. He’s an exceptional showman who adds a lot of humor to his show. And he is very versatile playing blues, country, and rock. Whenever I have seen him play he always put on a show. He’s a real entertainer.
For today I picked the blues classic, “Hurts Me Too” and there will be more songs from this same show on Something Blue this week. Here they are now, Billy Jones Bluez, playing “Hurts Me Too”.

Tonight on Inspired Unreality join Ari and Caper in their quest for mushrooms and tea. At least that's what we did last week when Ari's cat, Tude, found a book, Ari and the witch deciphered a tea blend from one of the pages in the book, Caper went to the woods to hunt for mushrooms, the witch brewed the tea, and when Ari and the witch drank the tea they became far sighted and could see Caper leaving the woods several miles away as if they were looking through a powerful telescope. What will happen next? Nobody knows. Because we're winging it.

Thanks Marty, on this weeks From The Archives Of Something Blue I’ve got some Hiphop recorded at HairyLarryLand.
My son, Carl Heyl, plays bass in Hairy Larry and The Flying Hungarians. He’s an excellent musician so when he told me he and his friends wanted to record some vocal numbers at my studio I was all in. Five of them showed up, all vocalists, with one acoustic guitar and a few percussion instruments. So it’s vocals in the foreground all the time over minimalist backing. I really don’t know why more groups don’t do this. Concentrate on harmony vocals and keep the instrumentation sparse. It’s a great way to deliver the material with a clean sound.
Singing for the recordings were Carl Heyl, Tim Hose, Marissa Farmer, Meghan Allen, and Jen Hose, all from Arkansas and students at ASU. Recorded at my HairyLarryLand Studio on November 6, 2011, here they are now singing “We Are Who We Are”.

Thanks Marty, this week on From The Archives we’ve got a jazz standard recorded at the Craighead Forest Bandshell.
Rob Alley taught at ASU and I recorded him several times at The Edge Coffeehouse so I was thrilled when I was able to book him to play at the bandshell on June 21, 2009. Playing with Rob Alley was David Eckert on bass and Mike Overall, drums. The audience loved their set of jazz standards. I will be playing more from this show on Something Blue this week.
For From The Archives I picked one of the most famous songs in jazz history. a Miles Davis composition from “Kind Of Blue”, here’s the Rob Alley Trio playing “So What”.
