DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Playing El Amor Cubano La Mujer O El Caballo

DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Playing El Amor Cubano La Mujer O El Caballo From The Archives Of Something Blue May 5, 2024

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a Cuban love song written and performed by the Dean of Fine Arts.

When Don Bowyer came to ASU he was looking for someone to play music with so, of course, everybody mentioned me. I was a student in the music department at the time and I played out a lot, including at our monthly New Jazz In Jonesboro show with NJHB, the New Jazz House Band.

We played all original songs and Don Bowyer is an outstanding jazz composer, so he fit right in. On February 2, 2013, he brought music for a song he wrote called "El Amor Cubano: La Mujer o el Caballo?" roughly translated as who is your true love, your woman or your horse? So the title's funny but the song is actually quite beautiful.

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.
