From The Archive February 14, 2021 – Reba Russell – “At Last”
https://wordpress.hairylarry.rocks/?p=369
Reba Russell was definitely a favorite with the Bluesday Tuesday audience and one of my favorites as well. When she was booked for November 13, 2012, she was glad to come and play but she wanted someone on sound so I got recruited. I ran my recording deck and the mix board which isn’t as hard as it sounds when the band is as good as the Reba Russell Band.
They played great and I got many good recordings. I’m playing some fantastic contemporary R&B on Something Blue this Saturday so I picked “At Last”, the Etta James classic. A great song and a great performance from Reba Russell, here she is now singing “At Last”.

Tonight on Inspired Unreality we are back to actual play. Alan wrote “The Chronicles Of Ember” and he is our game master. We fought the big bad undead guy and somehow survived and now we're going after the double crosser who left us to die. We'll see how this all works out tonight. Jump in if you'd like.
Inspired Unreality open game chat is held in the gamerplus chatrooms at Tenkar's Tavern on Discord at 9:00 Central every Monday night. If you've never been to Tenkar's Tavern we have an invite for you here.

From The Archive February 7, 2021 – John Spencer – “ Road To Brigadoon”
Thanks Marty, It’s great to be here on Arkansas Roots sharing songs from the archives of Something Blue.
I met John Spencer at Blues Fest and it wasn’t long before we had John and Tommy, The Spencer Brothers, on stage. John came to me with some songs that he and Tom Turner wrote, Tom was the lyricist and John put them to music. John is a regular at KASU events, both playing and in the audience and Tom Turner was raised at Burnt Hill, just down the road from me.

So, if you want to give a new game a try, join us. If I were to describe “The Chronicles Of Ember” in one word it would be dangerous. (And fun.)

From The Archive January 24, 2021 – Bob Sloan – “Stella By Starlight” and “My Funny Valentine”
https://wordpress.hairylarry.rocks/?p=356
Thanks Marty, this week I’m featuring a Jonesboro pianist playing a short medley.
On February 23, 2012, I booked Bob Sloan to play at Jazz Thursday at TheArts@311. Bob was a very talented musician and he related well to the audience from on stage. Near the end of his set he played this medley of two of my favorite songs, “Stella By Starlight” and “My Funny Valentine”.
I met him at Blues Alley in Jonesboro where he would occasionally come and volunteer a short set of jazz piano. I’ve played with him and presented him but unfortunately I only got to work with him a few more times before he passed on.
Now here’s Bob Sloan playing “Stella By Starlight” and “My Funny Valentine”.

From The Archive December 27, 2020 – Ken Carroll Quintet – “Recordame”
In 2019 KASU sponsored New Jazz In Jonesboro held in the Round Room of the Jonesboro Public Library. On February 9, 2019 we featured the Ken Carroll Quintet, Ken Carroll on EWI; Hairy Larry, piano; Gabe Waters, bass; Chris Isom, drums; and Joseph Curtis, trumpet. Ken Carroll is Director Of Jazz Studies at ASU. Joseph Curtis is the band director at Hoxie High School. The rest of us are jazz students at ASU. We love the Bossa Nova standard, “Recordame”, and that love for this music shines through in this performance. Now, here’s the Ken Carroll Quintet playing “Recordame”.
