DJ Hairy Larry Presents Delta Legends Playing All Over Again - 2024-09-04 11:18 AM

DJ Hairy Larry presents Delta Legends Playing All Over Again

Thanks Marty, I've got a great blues song this week performed live at the Fall Ball by Delta Legends.

https://sbblues.com/2024/09/04/dj-hairy-larry-presents-delta-legends-playing-all-over-again/

On September 30, 2017 Delta Legends took a road trip down to the Mississippi Hill Country to play at the Fall Ball. We originally booked to busk on Saturday morning but they offered us a slot early Saturday afternoon so we got to play that too. "All Over Again" is a blues standard made famous by B.B. King and Paul Butterfield. It's one of our best songs and inspired by the festival stage we nailed it.

And, about that busking Saturday morning. We recorded that too and those songs are included on our CD, "Two Woman Blues". It was a very productive day.

Now here's Delta Legends playing "All Over Again".

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Jazz Writers Big Band Playing Elegy - 2024-08-25 05:06 PM

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Jazz Writers Big Band Playing "Elegy"
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-08-25

https://sbblues.com/2024/08/25/dj-hairy-larry-presents-jazz-writers-big-band-playing-elegy/

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a Big Band play a composition written by an Arkansas jazz educator.

I went to school at ASU with Joseph Curtis. After he graduated he was band director at Hoxie and Trumann. He's now in Law School in Little Rock.

I think the first time I recorded Joseph was when he was playing in an ASU small group called "Jazztette". Ron Horton wanted me to take some video of him teaching jazz improvisation and I also recorded their concert. I interviewed Dr. Horton and four of the students and produced a documentary, "Jazztette - Teaching Jazz Improvisation". They played an original jazz composition by Joseph Curtis called "Baile de Trece".

I also recorded his band, Bluebeck, at KASU Jazz Thursday and Bebopalooza. I got to sit in with Bluebeck on guitar at the Jazz Thursday show. Gary Gazaway was the headliner at the Bebopalooza show and he invited Joseph Curtis and Ron Horton up to play on their closing songs.

Joseph was in NJHB and he played at our first session on December 29, 2012 as well as on many NJHB shows and albums in 2013 including my senior recital.

Joseph has played with my band Bebop Beatniks frequently and he is featured on the album "Church". He would livestream with Bebop Beatniks from the Twitch Porch.

He participated in the KASU New Jazz In Jonesboro concerts at the public library. I got to play bass once with his band. He also played at New Jazz In Jonesboro with Ken Carroll and NJHB.

He contributed many of his songs to the Jazz Writers Big Band. I recorded most of their shows and the "Jazz Writers Big Band" album.

His brother Clinton Curtis plays amazing alto sax and I have also recorded him many times but that will have to be for another podcast.

Visit the Something Blue website at sbblues.com for links.

Now here's the Jazz Writers Big Band playing the Joseph Curtis song, "Elegy".

I Reply To Steve Khan - 2024-08-20 10:50 AM

I Reply To Steve Khan

Steve thanked me for playing "The Green Field" on Something Blue.

Thanks so much for playing selections from "THE GREEN FIELD".... especially the title track. Long recorded performances like that are rarely heard on the radio.

I replied:

That's part of my thing on Something Blue. Lot's of live music. Lots of tracks that are too long for radio. Less talking and more music.

I also do a weekly musicology podcast that airs on Arkansas Roots where I tell stories about Arkansas musicians I have recorded or worked with. More talk and only one song that's not too long to fit the Arkansas Roots style.

From The Archives Of Something Blue

https://sbblues.com/2024/08/18/dj-hairy-larry-presents-doug-hendrix-playing-the-theme-from-mash/

Thanks Marty. Today we're going to hear a popular TV theme song recorded at the Craighead Forest Bandshell.

I met Doug Hendrix at the bandshell and soon he was performing there. I got to record him several times. He was from Arkansas and living in Jonesboro but he had spent some time in Nashville working as a songwriter. Beside's being an amazing songwriter he also plays acoustic guitar, fingerpicking like Chet Atkins or Jerry Reed.

On June 3, 2007, we had a fantastic lineup for Sunday In the Park, Doug Hendrix, George Hinds, Angie Owens, and Ronnie Presley, all fine Arkansas musicians and songwriters. I'll post a link to more music from the show at the Something Blue website, sbblues.com.

So now, here's Doug Hendrix picking his arrangement of the theme from Mash.

Proclamation - 2024-08-12 08:39 PM

PROCLAMATION In Honor of the Esteemed Northeast Arkansas Gamers Guild

WHEREAS: In the Year Two Thousand and Fifteen, on the first day of February, the Northeast Arkansas Gamers Guild (NEAGG) was nobly established by Sarah Brown and Kier Heyl, siblings of notable repute, whose ardor for the ancient and venerable art of tabletop gaming led them to found a fellowship through the means of a Facebook group, this in response to the lamentable closure of a local emporium of games; and

WHEREAS: By Providence and the fervent dedication of its founders, the Guild did flourish, amassing one hundred valiant members within the span of but one week, thereby revealing the deep yearning of the community for such an assembly. The Guild held its inaugural grand event in April of that same year, in honor of International Tabletop Day, within the hallowed halls of the Craighead County Jonesboro Public Library; and

WHEREAS: Since its inception, the Northeast Arkansas Gamers Guild hath grown in renown and in number, now boasting a brotherhood and sisterhood of nearly one thousand and four hundred strong, who gather monthly to partake in games of strategy, chance, and fellowship at the Craighead County Jonesboro Public Library; and

WHEREAS: The Guild’s most celebrated occasion, known as NEA Game Fest, hath become a beacon, drawing participants from the far reaches of the realm, including the great cities of Chicago, Illinois, and Houston, Texas. At the most recent convocation in the month of July, over three hundred individuals did assemble, enjoying the contest of over one hundred and fifty games and partaking in the distribution of prizes valued in the thousands; and

WHEREAS: Through its charity and good works, the NEA Game Fest hath raised over forty thousand dollars for the betterment of local causes, with its most bestowing of eleven thousand, two hundred thirty dollars and thirty-one cents, to the Friends of the Craighead County Library, thus exemplifying the Guild’s enduring commitment to the welfare of the community; and

WHEREAS: The Northeast Arkansas Gamers Guild doth extend a warm and inclusive embrace to all, providing a sanctuary where families and individuals may escape the distractions of the modern age and partake in the timeless joy of tabletop gaming, thereby strengthening the bonds of kinship and community within the city of Jonesboro;

NOW THEREFORE, I, Harold Copenhaver, Mayor of the City of Jonesboro, by the powers vested in me by the laws of the State of Arkansas, do hereby recognize and extol the virtues and contributions of the Northeast Arkansas Gamers Guild, and proclaim this day, the Tenth of August in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty-Four, as NORTHEAST ARKANSAS GAMERS GUILD DAY in the City of Jonesboro, Arkansas.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the City of Jonesboro to be affixed this Tenth Day of August, in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty-Four.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Gary Gazaway Playing Leviathan
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-08-11

https://sbblues.com/2024/08/11/dj-hairy-larry-presents-gary-gazaway-playing-leviathan/

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a contemporary jazz song recorded at KASU Jazz Thursday.

Gary Gazaway's "El Buho" band was a popular touring act so it was great to get Gary to play at Jazz Thursday. We were putting on monthly shows at TheArts@311 in downtown Jonesboro and, don't get me wrong, all the bands that played were great. I feature music from all of these shows on Something Blue and on my podcast, From The Archives Of Something Blue.

But we were really excited to get Gary Gazaway to put together a fusion band to play his compositions for us at Jazz Thursday. Gary has played with everyone, all over the world, from Steve Winwood and Joe Cocker to Phish. And he had great musicians in his band including Victor Wooten and my friend, Dr. Perry Osborne, a Jonesboro guitarist who did his undergraduate work at ASU.

Playing with Gary at Jazz Thursday on June 27, 2013 were

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 Suzanne Michell And Fred Wilson Singing Old Rugged Cross
From The Archives Of Something Blue – 2024-07-28

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a favorite hymn sung at a concert featuring mostly jazz and spirituals.

I first met Suzanne Michell when Vivian and I were working on Blues Fest 91. Vivian’s friend Linda, from college, was living in Little Rock and worked in a place where Suzanne was singing. Suzanne is blind so Linda drove her up to Jonesboro for Blues Fest and she amazed and astounded.

Later, Fred Wilson started driving her to gigs and they were playing as a duo and a trio. And then they got married so that was cool.

I’ve recorded Suzanne in Jonesboro and Little Rock. Besides helping us with Blues Fest year after year she played at Bebopalooza, Jazz Thursday, New Jazz In Jonesoboro, and she even sang at my senior recital.

My favorite recordings of Suzanne and Fred were made at the Brookland United Methodist Church when they would visit us every year or two for Wednesday night special music. They sing everything. When Suzanne Michell came to blues fest with an electric guitar one year I called her electric and eclectic. For our Wednesday night special music she had a flair for picking the right songs and speaking directly to the youth about life and music.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Daniel Turner Playing Customized Bliss - 2024-07-21 01:34 PM

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Daniel Turner Playing Customized Bliss
From The Archives Of Something Blue July 21, 2024

https://sbblues.com/2024/07/21/dj-hairy-larry-presents-daniel-turner-playing-customized-bliss/

Thanks Marty, Today we’re going to hear a solo guitarist play at the Brookland Methodist Church.

On September 30, 2015, I arranged for Daniel Turner to play at our Wednesday night Praise service. He does a solo act he calls The Infinite Calling and it’s improvisatory ambient music. We usually sang praise music on Wednesday nights, dancing along and doing the hand movements. So when we had special music I tried to bring in acts that were different to expose our kids to a variety of music. When Infinite Calling played that night I think I pretty much suceeded in doing that.

We had a lot of kids showing up for our Wednesday night services. So many that they outnumbered the adults in multiples of 4 or 5. Fifty kids and ten adults was a thing that happened sometimes. And when we were outnumbered like that we just had to blend in, singing, dancing, and doing the hand movements, just like the rest of the kids.

We’re Methodists so we were happy to host musicians who were Lutheran, Presbyterian, Jewish, and even Baptist. Sometimes we had bands singing at our church that couldn’t sing at their own church. But this was the first time we had a Buddhist.

When we had Wednesday night special music we didn’t have a service. The preacher would open with a prayer and then I’d introduce the band. After I introduced Daniel he gave a short Buddhist prayer. It fit right in.

I was worried his music would be a little much for the kids but they loved it. About ten minutes into his set some of the kids were lying on the floor in the aisle. Now we did tumbling in church but even for us that was kind of weird. And then the whispering started, the music sounds much better when you’re lying down. Next thing you know Gretchen and I were on the floor too, enjoying Daniel’s “Customized Bliss”.

That’s what he called his song, “Customized Bliss”, 36 minutes of guitar improvisation, a little bit too long for radio. So I have prepared an excerpt for us to enjoy on Arkansa Roots, about a sixth of his whole piece. I’ll post a link to the whole concert on the Something Blue website at sbblues.com.

So, here he is now, Daniel Turner, live at the Brookland United Methodist Church, recorded on September 30, 2015.

MixRemix Radio - 2024-07-19 04:37 PM

MixRemix Radio

I do a weekly show on anonradio called MixRemix - Creative Commons Jazz.

The songs are selected from my Creative Commons Jazz library at

https://jazz.mixremix.cc/

I have an algorithm that picks the music and it's a random algorithm. I pick 6 albums randomly and then I randomize the tracks. I wrote the code in php. It also writes the text file listing the albums and dating the show.

The show is two hours long and it is possible that 6 albums wouldn't be long enough but it hasn't happened yet.

My agency starts and ends with adding material to the library. (and making sure the shows are long enough)

The library is currently 21.3 Gigabytes of mp3 files. Every so often I go into a frenzy of searching for and adding albums. If you have released Creative Commons jazz let me know.

640 meg holds 1 hour of .wav files so approximately 10 hours of mp3 files. So 2/3 of a Gig is approximately 10 hours of music. In total around 320 hours of jazz.

Each week I run the program, check that it's long enough, and then I upload to a linux instance on the google cloud for streaming to anonradio and to the internet archive for public listening.

Here's the MixRemix Radio collection on the Internet Archive sorted with the most recent shows at the top.

https://archive.org/details/MixRemix?sort=-date

This collection also includes shows from when I ran a 24/7 streaming station from at home. I may do this again sometime but I have been awfully busy lately.

The library is also available in a web player that supports playlists.

https://jazz.mixremix.cc/music.htm

Click Random and then play and it randomizes the whole library.

Click Music Folder Player for the player code. It's a plain text program licensed AGPL-3.0. By plain text I mean it doesn't use a database. Music Folder Player is written and maintained by ltguillaume. It's on GitHub and Codeberg.

My generate the show code is very specific so it is unreleased. If you want a copy email hairylarry@gmail.com.

Thanks

how did “documentation” become six youtube videos of conference talks and a discord channel? was there something wrong with opening a text editor and just typing out how your project works? did people at some point say “i hate scannable, searchable references”? was there a study that showed copy-pastable examples cause cancer?

it’s 2035 and your api reference is now six emojis, a folk song, a short series of improv scripts and the zapruder film with subtitles. if you have any questions, contact us on nextdoor or call this 1-900 number.

technicat responded:
@ghorwood I expect text scores higher on accessibility than video of a laptop screen. Where's the alt text police when you need them?

hairylarry responded:
@ghorwood

I have always been a proponent of text documentation for every stage of the project. Back in the day I wrote "The Document Is The Program" for Freshmeat (now defunct).

Now a good specifications document. With code walkthroughs? (code free code walkthroughs) Now that will save you some time. It's a lot less work to write the document than it is to code to an ambiguous spec.

Look I know it's going to change. But you still have to know where to start.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents The Rob Alley Trio Playing On A Clear Day - 2024-07-14 07:40 PM

DJ Hairy Larry Presents The Rob Alley Trio Playing On A Clear Day
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-07-14

https://sbblues.com/2024/07/14/dj-hairy-larry-presents-the-rob-alley-trio-playing-on-a-clear-day/

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a jazz standard recorded at the Craighead Forest Bandshell in 2009.

When I met Rob Alley he was on the faculty in the ASU Music Department. I went to see him play trumpet at The Edge and he was nice enough to let me sit in on a couple of songs. So, when I was booking Sunday In The Park at The Bandshell I gave him a call and he agreed to come and play.

Playing with Rob Alley were David Eckert, bass; and Mike Overall, drums. David Eckert was a librarian at the Jonesboro Public Library and later on he taught bass at ASU. Mike Overall was president of the Jonesboro Jazz Society and Editor of the Jonesboro Sun. His column, Overall Comments, often highlighted the music scene in Jonesboro.

It was my good fortune to play with and record Mike and Dave many times and they are frequently featured on Something Blue. They also helped me many times promoting Blues Fest and setting up gigs at the Round Room in the public library.

It was hot at Craighead Forest Park and edging into summer so Rob Alley did a lot of songs about cooler weather.

So now, recorded at the bandshell, on June 21, 2009, here's the Rob Alley Trio playing "On a Clear Day".

DM Vivian

Vivian was a Game Master before there was D&D running fantasy games with polyhedral dice and miniatures from a mimeographed sheet in Beebe, Arkansas, in the early seventies.

Then in the nineties when I got into AD&D she taught us all how to do it. Most of her kids are now convention DMs and I just love to sit at their tables just like I loved playing with Vivian.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Rhode Island Red And Hairy Larry Singing Walk Right In - 2024-07-08 06:36 PM

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Rhode Island Red and Hairy Larry Singing Walk Right In
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-07-07

https://sbblues.com/2024/07/08/dj-hairy-larry-presents-rhode-island-red-and-hairy-larry-singing-walk-right-in/

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear some jug band music recorded at the King Biscuit Blues Festival.

It was October 5, 2006 and The Emporium Orkestra was playing at Bunky's Breakfast on Cherry Street in Helena, Arkansas. That morning Rhode Isalnd Red and I were the early risers so our first set was as a duo. One of the songs we sang was "Walk Right In".

"Walk Right In" was written by Gus Cannon and recorded in 1929 by Cannons Jug Stompers. In 1963 The Rooftop Singers had a big hit on the song. Rhode Island Red plays it more like the original while I had only heard the sixties hit.

Although we were a duo we sounded like a seven piece orchestra singing harmony vocals, while I played bass and rhythm when Red took the lead. I played my Mississippi saxophone on a rack while Red played the trumpet parts on his kazoo. And it's Jug Band Music so we both played the drums with our feet and with hand slaps on our guitars.

One morning Rhode Island Red walked in and he had written a song. It's really short so I'm going to sing it for you now.

We're Hairy Larry and Rhodes Island Red
And we're gonna play until we're dead.
Well we ain't dead yet. No no. We ain't dead yet.

Ok now, they may kick me off the air for having too much fun so here's Rhode Island Red and Hairy Larry singing the Gus Cannon song "Walk Right In".

The Icosahedron - 2024-07-02 06:25 AM

The Icosahedron

I posted this on Gamer+ Delta Boogie Network.

My daughter and my grandson helped me work on the walkway to the HairyLarryLand out of control room this morning.

Trusses up and we started installing the ribbon.

https://gamerplus.org/deck/@hairylarry/112713057370703064

Large Format Projectionist replied.

I would like to copy this at my house…

Which got me thinking. So I replied.

The icosahedron had been a dream of mine for years and I'm glad I did the project. It was way more work than I thought it would be and I'm a ground up/major remodel/do it all carpenter.

Every cut had angles. All the trim had compound angles. (Where you put your saw at an angle and then cut an angle on the board.) Even the shingles took angle cuts on over half of the shingles.

It's a good sound space. Anyone who wants to do this should try to find an easier way to do it.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Doing Cold Fusion - 2024-06-30 10:40 AM

DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Playing Cold Fusion
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-06-30

https://sbblues.com/2024/06/30/dj-hairy-larry-presents-njhb-playing-cold-fusion-2/

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear NJHB play a tribute to nuclear physics.

NJHB, the New Jazz House Band, is a live act hosting the New Jazz In Jonesboro concerts. We did, however, release two studio albums, our first album, "Circular Logic" was recorded at HairyLarryLand in Jonesboro in 2012. And then, on July 20, 2018, we recorded "Quantum Blues" at my new studio, outside of Brookland.

I wrote all three songs on the album, "Cold Fusion", "Quantum Blues", and "Entanglement". All named for concepts in nuclear physics at the frontiers of science. And for NJHB, the songs are short with the longest one just under eight minutes.

Also unique in the NJHB repertoire the band is a jazz trio featuring Tyler Remagen on tenor sax; Spencer Rawlins, bass; and Hairy Larry, piano. Having fewer musicians playing did not stop us from engaging in the NJHB trademark group improvisation.

Today we're going to hear "Cold Fusion". I'll play the other two songs Saturday night on Something Blue.

I decided to name the album "Quantum Blues" and I went searching for artwork on the internet. I found an amazing mix of something old and something new, a quilt by Kate Findlay that she titled "Atomic". I contacted her and she gave me permission to use her photo of the quilt for the cover art.

As always you can find links at the Something Blue website, sbblues.com, and you can see the cover featuring Kate Findlay's quilt. I know you can't see it on the radio. Here, let me hold it closer to the microphone.

Ok now, recorded at HairyLarryLand on July 20, 2018, here's NJHB playing "Cold Fusion".

Teryl's Tales of Whim~: ""We got pants last year," Vera…" - G+DBN
Posted on Monday September 02, 2024

"We got pants last year," Vera whined, "And shoes!"

"You're about to grow out of them," her parent reminded, "We still need to get you new books, pens, replace your backpack..."

Vera slumped, a little guilty about the backpack; it was meant to last her through to college, "Can I still get a new pendant?"

PodCastle 053: Change of Life - PodCastle

Change of Life
by K. Tempest Bradford

It all started because I wanted a pet. All of us younger kids did. But Mom always said that there wasn’t room for any pets cuz there were so many kids. She had a point, I guess. There were nine of us. But then David, my oldest brother, left home when he was only seventeen and a half to join the Peace Corps. Mom cried for three days straight. Dad said it was only because she was going through the Change of Life.

The day after she stopped crying there was a bunny in the living room. No cage, just a bunny. I guess Dad bought him hoping it would cheer Mom up–and it did. She sat on the couch holding the bunny for hours and told us all that we had a new family member: David the bunny. Katherine, my oldest sister, said that Mom named it David out of a sense of displacement or some other big word she liked to use just because she wanted to be a psychologist or a psychiatrist or some kind of person who messes with your head.

I wasn’t impressed. I wanted a dog.
