Ttyl - 2022-08-10 01:08 PM

My wife, vivian, started the ttyl meme back in the BBS days. TTY and TTL are both modem speak. TTY means serial port or virtual port. TTL is Time To Live or hop limit. The meaning of ttyl is obvious.

This comes up because the author of ttyl, ttfn, l8r g8r, and yolo is being censored in libraries. Thanks to my daughter, Sarah, who was also a sysop back in the day, for her rant.

"I'm really angry tonight. The only way I could be more angry is if I were still in charge of the young adult collection at CCJPL. If I were forced to weed a book that was getting checked out because it's "outdated and would have been weeded if there weren't controversy" is really upsetting. I was part of the team that added ttyl to the collection when it first came out. We picked books based on reviews from respected library journals as well as what we thought our library patrons would like. I read the book because I knew there was controversy and I wanted to be able to speak from a knowledgeable place. Luckily while I was there the book wasn't challenged, it blows my mind that almost 20 years later it's being censored and pulled from the library shelves."

"For anyone that is interested. I've read the first two of the series ttyl and ttfn. I dont think I've actually read the one they were trying to censor (l8r g8r). I also just found out there's a 4th book yolo which I've definitely not read."

It is not the authors that suffer from this. There is probably a renewed interest in this series because of the censorship. The people being hurt are the young adults who could benefit from finding these books at the library.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Cottonmouth Playing July You’re A Woman
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-03-17

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear some southern rock from a band that was big in Arkansas in the seventies.

Sometimes I look around for just the right music to play on From The Archives Of Something Blue. And sometimes the music comes to me.

Andy Fulkerson got in touch with KASU with some songs recorded in 1982 and Marty Scarbrough knew immediately that I would be interested. So, thanks to Andy for working with me filling in the details and bringing the Cottonmouth story to life.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Michael Ward Playing An Aperitif | Something Blue

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Michael Ward Playing An Aperitif
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-03-10

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear an uptempo jazz standard performed by ASU students in the Fine Arts Recital Hall.

I met Michael Ward at the Delta Jazz Workshop when he was in high school. I was immediately impressed with his tenor sax playing and his improvisational approach. When he started at ASU he played with me in the Jazz Recital Band. And then, after the pandemic, he played with Bebop Beatniks on the twitch porch. I’ll post links to these performances on the Something Blue website at sbblues.com.

Then there I was reading the Monday Morning Music Memo and what do you know. It’s Michael Ward’s Senior Jazz Recital. I just had to go.
