DJ Hairy Larry Presents Hairy Larry Singing Promises

Richard Murray And Hairy Larry

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-04-28

Thanks Marty, today we'll hear a song I wrote recorded by some fine Northeast Arkansas musicians.

My song "Promises" was released on the album "Collaborators" by Richard Murray and Hairy Larry. The album is full of songs cowritten by Richard and myself. I'll save that story for another podcast. "Promises" was written, music and lyrics, by me.

We ended up with nine songs and I knew just who I wanted to record them. On December 2, 2009, I got the band together. Paul Moore on electric mandolin, Corey Emerson, bass, Addison Boling, drums, and I'm playing acoustic guitar. We all lived in the Jonesboro area at the time and we all had strong ties to ASU.

Before There Was Language

Duke Ellington said, “What is music to you? What would you be without music? Music is everything.”

Here’s the truth as I see it. There are some things held in common by all human cultures. One of them is language. One of them is music.

Think about it. Before there was language there was music.

Cover Your Friend's Songs

It will help them out and your audience will love it

Calling all musicians!

Cover your friend's songs. Tell everyone how great they are.

I noticed when attending concerts that most bands play some originals and some covers. Some play all originals or all covers. This applies to you too.

I'm great with bands playing originals. Do your own thing. And I understand that musicians include cover songs because a) they like the songs and b) it's nice to play some music the audience already knows.

My guess is all these musicians have friends who write good songs. I know I do. Could be someone they played with before and they already know the song. Could be a friend who plays in another band and you have there CD with original songs on it. Could be someone you barely know on the internet who has a youtube video of a song they wrote that you really like.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Copyright Infringement Playing Stella By Starlight

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-04-21

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a band of young musicians play a jazz standard.

It was my great good fortune to be able to work with high school jazz musicians at the Delta Jazz Workshop for several years. I enjoyed the workshop sessions and listening to rehearsals but my favorite job was rehearsing small groups made up of workshop attendees, mostly high school students.

In July of 2018 I was given some amazing musicians including a rhythm section of young musicians who were already playing at a professional level. So this was a great opportunity to show these students the whole process, selecting songs, creating instrumental sections, writing arrangements, and rehearsing for a concert.

And we had five days to make all this happen.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Playing Colossus

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-03-31 https://sbblues.com/2024/03/31/dj-hairy-larry-presents-njhb-playing-colossus/ Thanks Marty, Today we're going to hear a radio edit of one of NJHB's most played songs. NJHB had their first recording session at HairyLarryLand on December 29, 2012. From that session we released our first album, "Circular Logic" that included my song "Colossus". In 2013 we were the New Jazz House Band playing once a month at TheArts@311 in downtown Jonesboro. Every month the personnel varied and every month we released another album. On February 2, 2012, we recorded the album "Colossus", with the cover art showing the Colossus Of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Then on July 6, 2013, we recorded our most accessible album, "Cookin' For Piper" and we closed the show with "Colossus".

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.

And I was glad I did. He played great with an old school tenor sax tone that I just loved. And the ensemble work was excellent too. I knew some of the musicians who played with him and I was glad to hear those I hadn't heard before. I mean that's why you got to live music, right? To hear something you haven't heard before.

Gamer+ News - March 2024 - G+DBN

Ok now, I've put all my eggs in one basket. Gamer+, a server on the fediverse, has now incorporated the Delta Boogie Network. Both Gamer+ and the Delta Boogie Network have a long history of running social networks on unfederated servers, the kind where you only see people who have logged onto that particular server. That's the past. The fediverse is the future. On G+DBN you can follow anyone on any federated server, whether it's Mastodon, Firefish, Peertube, Funkwhale, &&etc.

So, for me, G+DBN is the one ring that rules them all. The place where I post and read and respond to your posts. I still have my account on mastodon.social and I do boost my hype there. But G+DBN is where I make all my social network posts.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Giant Steps Playing Tangerine

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-03-03

Thanks Marty. Today we're going to hear a tenor sax rendition of a jazz standard recorded at KASU Jazz Thursday.

Giant Steps was a jazz combo featuring some of Jonesboro's finest jazz musicians. The core group had Craig Baker, trumpet; Joy Sanford, piano; Tom Mason, bass; and Mike Overall, drums. Formerly known as Nightlife they played standards and they were a good dance band.

When they played for us at Jazz Thursday they brought Mike McGowan, a former resident of Jonesboro now living in Texas. As you will hear he's fantastic on tenor sax.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Hairy Larry Playing Freddy's Blues

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-02-25

Thanks Marty. Today we're going to hear a livestream version of one of my most popular songs.

During the pandemic I would livestream on Twitch. I called my channel, Hairy Larry Practicing Piano and that's exactly what I did. I practiced my repertoire of original songs using iRealPro backing tracks as my metronome.

I licensed all of these audio and video recordings Creative Commons Attribution. What exactly does that mean?

It means that if you want to use one of these songs in your project whether it's a movie, a game, multimedia, or whatever you have permission to do that as long as the song is attributed correctly with the magic words, Freddy's Blues by Larry Heyl or Freddy's Blues by Hairy Larry.
