The_Delta_Jets-Chairfactory_Blues-My_Baby_Blues.wav
Welcome to Something Blue. I'm Hairy Larry and I've got the Blues, for you.
The_Delta_Jets-Chairfactory_Blues-Roll_With_It.wav
All right. Kicking us off we heard The Delta Jets sing their own song, "My Baby Blues". Then another Delta Jets song, "Roll With It".
You can find more about Something Blue at deltaboogie.com. We have information about the musicians, podcasts, and a liveblog discussion of the show in progress. That's deltaboogie.com. Log on and talk to me.
I met Pete Mitchell on the internet and now he's featured on Delta Boogie. He plays straight ahead Blues and Blues Rock with a definite Northeast Arkansas twang in spite of the fact that he's spent his life traveling all over England playing guitar and singing his songs. He's known as The Stratmaster and I'm sure you will love his clean guitar work.
Now here's Pete Mitchell, from the UK, playing two of his tunes from the "Cutting The Mustard" CD. We'll hear "Outside Looking In" and "Bee My Honey". Listen to these lyrics on "Outside Looking In". They are so personal and so universal at the same time.
Pete_Mitchell-Cutting_The_Mustard-Outside_Looking_In.wav
Pete_Mitchell-Cutting_The_Mustard-Bee_My_Honey.wav
And that's Pete Mitchell, The Stratmaster, doing his song, "Bee My Honey".
I'm Hairy Larry and you're listening to "Something Blue" on KASU, 91.9 FM.
Ok, I've got another rocking Blues from Pete Mitchell, "Play My Guitar".
Pete_Mitchell-Cutting_The_Mustard-Play_My_Guitar.wav
ODonel_Levy-Live_At_The_Sax-In_The_Mood_For_Love.wav
And that's Jazz and Blues legend, ODonel Levy, playing "In The Mood For Love" recorded live at The Sax Club in Singapore. OD is a great guitarist and frontman. He used to play with Dizzie Gillespie.
Now here's a sweet instrumental from The Delta Jets' "Chairfactory Blues" CD, an original called "Samantha". The Delta Jets are from Wisconsin and their CD is dedicated to the Mississippi musicians who traveled all the way to Wisconsin to record at the chair factory.
The_Delta_Jets-Chairfactory_Blues-Samantha.wav
The_Preachers-Yeah_Baby-24-7.wav
The_Preachers-Yeah_Baby-Alley_Cat.wav
All right, that's The Preachers Blues Band, a great Jump Blues band, doing "Alley Cat". Before that they did one they call "24-7". The Preachers feature Brian Batchley on harmonica and David Reo on guitar. They are from Ventura, California and they always bring their own swing to their shows.
You're listening to Something Blue on KASU, the home of the Blues in Northeast Arkansas. Whether it's Blues on Saturday night or the live Blue Monday shows you can count on KASU to bring you the best in the Blues.
Now for a special treat. Here's The Idle Americans from Wynne, Arkansas recorded live at Blues Fest, September 16, 2007. These are all originals on this live concert recording. You will hear "Noiz NE", "Zorro Prowlin'", "Whateverland Theme", and "Springtime Jam". I'll let Jeremy Burnett introduce the band.
Idle_Americans-Blues_Fest_Sep_16_2007-Noiz_NE_Zorro_Prowlin.wav
Idle_Americans-Blues_Fest_Sep_16_2007-Whateverland_Theme.wav
Idle_Americans-Blues_Fest_Sep_16_2007-Springtime_Jam.wav
And that's The Idle Americans, featuring John Shepherd on guitar, recorded live at Blues Fest, September 16, 2007. What a great show they put on. John Shepherd is a Blues Fest regular, one of the finest Blues guitarists in the world, and he has been featured on Something Blue many times. I love presenting live recordings made by people you know.
I'm Hairy Larry and you're listening to "Something Blue" on KASU, 91.9 FM. I work hard to promote local and regional musicians on my website, Delta Boogie, and on Something Blue. If you're a musician and you'd like me to help you get your songs out there contact me by email, hairylarry@gmail.com. Or contact me through my website, deltaboogie.com. Subscribe to the Delta Boogie newsletter and I'll keep you up to date on the latest goings on musically.
Closing us out here's a couple more by The Preachers Blues Band. Listen up now, they are definitely preaching the Blues. First the title track from their CD, "Yeah Baby", and then we will hear "Bring Me A Woman". I hope you've enjoyed all the great Blues we played this week. I'll tell you right now, "That's what I'm talkin' about." Please stay in touch and let me know what you think. Until next time this is Hairy Larry, reminding you once again, Blues is the mainstream.
The_Preachers-Yeah_Baby-Yeah_Baby.wav
The_Preachers-Yeah_Baby-Bring_Me_A_Woman.wav
Ok, it's After Hours and I've got a couple of my own songs, some piano Jazz by The Geoff Lapp Trio, and a song by John Black. Kicking it we'll hear "Moonstruck Blues". Go to deltaboogie.com and click on Video to see the video of me singing this song. Then Geoff Lapp will play "Zack In The Box" followed by John Black singing "Betty Jean" from "The Soul Of John Black". Geoff Lapp will give us another one he wrote called "Yo Bro". And closing us out will be a childrens' song I wrote called "Shoes On Backwards". This is Something Blue After Hours. In the wee hours of the morning just kick back and enjoy.

Welcome to Something Blue. I'm Hairy Larry and I've got the Blues, for you.
Davis_Coen-podsafemusicnetwork-Some_Strange_Feeling.wav
Davis_Coen-podsafemusicnetwork-Precious_Time_Blues.wav
And that's three by Davis Coen, a Blue Monday performer from Memphis, Tennessee. We heard "Bad Luck Blues", "Some Strange Feeling", and "Precious Time Blues". Davis always puts on a great show.
Coming up next are two John Shepherd songs from his new CD, "So Low". John Shepherd is from Wynne, Arkansas. He's a Blues Fest regular and has been featured on Something Blue many times. Here he is now singing "Poor Boy" and "Lonesome Sundown".
John_Shepherd-So_Low-Poor_Boy.wav
John_Shepherd-So_Low-Lonesome_Sundown.wav
All right, now that's the Blues. We'll have more from John Shepherd's new CD later in the show.
You're listening to Something Blue on KASU. For more about the show log on to sbblues.com.
Ok now, we're going live. Here's The Big Wu recorded at Harmony Park in Clarks Grove, Minnesota, on May 23, 2009. We'll hear "Rhode Island Red" and "Children Are Crying".
The_Big_Wu-Harmony_Park_2009_05_23-Rhode_Island_Red+Children_Are_Crying.wav
-----
John_Shepherd-So_Low-Long_Black_Night.wav
And that's John Shepherd singing a Blues reminisce called "Long Black Night". I like that part where Albert King makes his guitar cry and sing. John recorded his new Cd, "So Low", in Jonesboro, Arkansas this year. He wrote all the songs and performs them without a band. Just his guitar and vocals. He is an extremely talented Blues guitarist in the tradition of Arkansas greats like Albert King, Son Seals, Roy Buchanan, and Fenton Robinson.
Just listen to his guitar work on this song, "You Just Don't Love Me".
John_Shepherd-So_Low-You_Just_Dont_Love_Me.wav
All right now, some great Blues from John Shepherd. John always puts on a great show at Blues Fest. His show with Idle Americans can be heard on the Live Music Archive and I'm working to get some more of his live shows up on the internet.
You're listening to KASU, the home of the Blues in Northeast Arkansas every Saturday night. And Something Blue is on the internet 24/7. You can hear podcasts of the shows whenever you want. Just go to sbblues.com. Follow the link to chat with me while the show's in progress.
Thanks to Delta Boogie Radio, the Live Music Archive, and the Podsafe Music Network for hosting songs for the podcasts.
Here's some great Blues from a famous Rock band, Little Feat. Recorded live in 1977 in Newcastle, we'll hear "Old Folks Boogie", "Dixie Chicken", and "Tripe Face Boogie". Listen to the lyrics on "Old Folks Boogie". I've got to admit I'm getting to where I can identify with that. Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, Blues is the mainstream.
Now here we are back in 1977 and it's Little Feat, live.

Log on to Delta Boogie on the internet for more about these musicians, Something Blue podcasts, videos, even a liveblog discussion of this show in progress right now. All this and more on deltaboogie.com.

Steve_Smith_and_The_Sneakers-Hoodoo_Man-Well_Have_A_Good_Time_Tonight.wav
Dallas_Hodge-Reelin-Divin_Duck.wav
And that's "Divin' Duck" by Dallas Hodge, Before that we heard "We'll Have A Good Time Tonight" by Steve Smith and The Sneakers.
Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis are giants in Country and Jazz but when they team up we get "Two Men With The Blues". Here they are now doing "Bright Lights, Big City"
Nelson_Marsalis-Two_Men_With_The_Blues-Bright_Lights_Big_City.wav
Part 2
Elvin_Bishop-The_Blues_Rolls_On-Struttin_My_Stuff.wav
Oh yeah, that's Blues legend, Elvin Bishop singing "Struttin' My Stuff". Bishop played with Paul Butterfield back in the sixties and since then when he's not fishing he's been playing the Blues.
Southern Star played Blues Rock and Country Blues in Northeast Arkansas in the eighties. They recorded a CD at Ardent in Memphis in 1989. Here's "Busted" written by Randy Gambill and Larry Jones.
Southern_Star-Southern_Star-Busted.wav
Southern_Star-Southern_Star-Slip_Away.wav
Southern_Star-Southern_Star-Lady_Of_The_Streets.wav
All right, two more from Southern Star, "Slip Away" and "Lady Of The Streets", both written by Randy Gambill. Randy, a Blues Fest regular, plays lead guitar on the CD.
You're listening to Something Blue on KASU, home of the Blues in Northeast Arkansas every Saturday night.
Now for some more Dallas Hodge from his CD "Reelin". He wrote most of the songs on the CD. Here's "In The Wind", "Up The Country", and "Reelin".
Dallas_Hodge-Reelin-In_The_Wind.wav
Dallas_Hodge-Reelin-Up_The_Country.wav
Dallas_Hodge-Reelin-Reelin.wav
And that's the title track of the new Dallas Hodge CD, "Reelin". Dallas has played with many great musicians like Steve Marriott, Johnny Winters, Delbert McClinton, and Bonnie Raitt. He is also the front man for Canned Heat. It's great to hear him putting out his own stuff.
Closing us out tonight here's another original by Greenleaf, one they call "Lowdown". The whole Greenleaf CD is great. It takes me back to psychedelic Blues Rock in the sixties.
Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, Blues is the mainstream.
Greenleaf-Greenleaf-Lowdown.wav
After Hours
Tomorrow at the Craighead Forest Bandshell both The Hungarians and The Mudcats are playing. So I'm dedicating After Hours to me, and some of the fine musicians I love to play with.

"Something Blue" will be airing once again on KASU with all new shows hosted by myself, Hairy Larry. "Something Blue" will air at 11:00 pm, immediately after "Blues From The Red Rooster Lounge".

Tony_Furtado_Band-Trilogy_2002_03_30-Rising_Fog.wav
It's the Tony Furtado Band recorded live on March 30, 2002, at Trilogy Wine Bar in Boulder, Colorado. We heard "Rising Fog".
We're playing live recordings from the Live Music Archive tonight on Something Blue. KASU features the Blues every Saturday night but if you need some Blues in the middle of the week log onto archive.org on the internet for the rest of this show and many, many others.
Next up it's "St. John's Fire" and "False Hearted Lovers".
Tony_Furtado_Band-Trilogy_2002_03_30-St_Johns_Fire.wav
Tony_Furtado_Band-Trilogy_2002_03_30-False_Hearted_Lovers_Blues.wav
All right, Tony Furtado is getting it, live. KASU has Blue Mondays and Bluegrass Mondays. The Tony Furtado Band blends Blues and Bluegrass into a unique sound. Here's one more they call "The Ghost Of Blind Willie Johnson".
Tony_Furtado_Band-Trilogy_2002_03_30-The_Ghost_Of_Blind_Willie_Johnson.wav
We have a first tonight in After Hours. I met triv33 on the liveblog discussion of last weeks show and she turned me on to her husband's band, Cleetus, with her sister and her husband singing. It's great stuff and we're featuring four of their songs tonight. "Vengeance", "Risky Business", "Caught Up", and "All My Fault". All originals.
So without the liveblog discussion last week I would have never heard of them. And here they are in After Hours this week.
Also I noticed that the "Blues For Peace" CD by my family band, "Hairy Larry and The Flying Hungarians" never made it onto Delta Boogie Radio. A total oversight on my part. Probably because I never get all Caught Up.
From that CD we'll play "Blues For Peace", "Sneakin Round", "blue nines", "Ride Me To Heaven", and "Guitar Blues". "Blues For Peace" goes out to my YouTube friend, tweek72, and "Guitar Blues" goes out to the guitarist in Cleetus. I'm sure he'll relate.
It's After Hours on Something Blue so let's kick back and enjoy. That's what I'm going to do. Stay in touch.

All right, That's Carl Holden doing one he wrote called "Holden Or Folden". Before that we heard Mike Dollins singing his song, "Teaser". And kicking us off tonight was Chris "Stinger" Stevens with his Blues instrumental, "Bluz Duz".
You're listening to "Something Blue" on KASU. Please visit Delta Boogie on the internet for more information about "Something Blue" and the musicians we feature. You can find "Something Blue" podcasts, scripts, videos, interviews, and more on Delta Boogie. That's deltaboogie.com on the internet.
I love a little bit of humor in my Blues. Here's three songs that will make you tap your foot and make you laugh. First Gary Sloan sings "Shirt". Then Memphis Gold is gonna "Test Drive That Woman". Then back to Gary Sloan with "Shoes Of The King".
Gary Alaska Sloan-Blues-Shirt.wav
Memphis Gold-Prodigal Son-Test Drive That Woman.wav
Gary Alaska Sloan-The TWILIGHT SLOAN-Shoes Of The King.wav
Possibly the funniest song I've ever heard. Thanks go out to Gary "Alaska" Sloan for "Shoes Of The King".

Billy Jones-my Hometown-You Upset My Soul.wav
Now that's what I'm talking about. Billy Jones "You Upset My Soul". Billy's new CD "My Hometown" is just great. Paves new ground. Before that we heard another Billy Jones song, the soulful "Never Let You Go". And in between there was Mark Sallings from Wynne, Arkansas blowing his Eb harp on the "TWBb Blues".
You're listening to "Something Blue" on KASU.
Ok, Mike Dollins is gonna Jazz jam us with "The Jam". Love the sax. And then "Stinger" Stevens is gonna get all sensual and down low with his own Jazz called, "Samba Para Mary".

Chris Stevens-Bluz Illuzion-Samba Para Mary.wav
Mark Sallings and The Famous Unknowns-Upclose And Personal-Marks Harpo.wav
And that's Mark Sallings and The Famous Unknowns playing one of my personal favorites, "Mark's Harpo".
Closing the show we're featuring Carl Holden with one he wrote called, "By Carl Holden". Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, Blues is the mainstream.
Carl Holden-July 28 2005-By Carl Holden.wav
Welcome to Something Blue After Hours, the internet only extension of the Something Blue podcast where I can get more personal and play a wider variety of music than I do on the air.
I'm about to get as personal as it gets. My friend, Mark Sallings, who you just heard, was killed in an auto accident on the way to a gig. Mark was a great performer and a fantastic songwriter.
http://deltaboogie.com/marksallings
Then my friend, Bix Smith died in his home. Bix was an outstanding Jazz guitarist and used to be a Blues Alley regular. He was also an accomplished artist and we hosted his paintings at the Blues Alley Gallery.
http://deltaboogie.com/deltamusicians/smithb/
The hardest thing about being a Bluesman is knowing that you'll never be able to jam with a good friend again. At least we can still play their music. So I'm starting off with Mark Sallings "Mighty Oaks" and "Unprotected Contact With The Blues" and then with Bix Smith playing guitar on Will Riley's CD I'll play "Rockabilly Shoes" and "A Whole Lot Of Love In His Eyes".
I cowrote the "Rockabilly Shoes" lyrics and I'm singing back to Will on the second verse. Now that I'm back in school I've been writing a lot of songs in a lot of genres. I'll close the After Hours segment with three of my recent recordings, "Younger Days", "Shoes On Backwards", and "Can You Really?". I hope you enjoy them.

Sugar Blue is a fantastic harmonica player who really brings it to the Blues. Sugar Blue was raised in the theater scene in Harlem, New York. He learned from Blues, Jazz, and Folk music with influences including Lester Young, Dexter Gordon, Bob Dylan, Brownie McGhee, and Roosevelt Sykes. He's worked with everyone from Junior Wells to Willie Dixon. His new CD is called "Code Blue". Here he is now with "Cold Blooded Man".

Sugar_Blue-Code_Blue-Bluesman.wav
And that's Sugar Blue with another hot song from his "Code Blue" CD. A song called "Bluesman".
We're going back now to one of my lifelong favorite bluesmen, Buddy Guy. Buddy Guy is from Lousiana but he is associated with the Chicago Blues because of all his session work on Chess Records. He still has a presence in Chicago with his famous Blues Club, Buddy Guy's Legends. They host Blues Jams right in the loop. No telling who you'll hear playing there. Here he is now singing "Are You Losing Your Mind?".

Bob_Margolin-Up_And_In-She_And_The_Devil.wav
Oh yeah, that's Steady Rollin Bob Margolin singing "She And The Devil". Bob Margolin played with Muddy Waters during the Blues Revival of the sixties and he's been steady rollin ever since.
I met Nitro on the internet and they have a good reverbnation site. Nitro plays guitar and drums and they feature Ruthie on vocals. Reverbnation is a great place to find cool indie music. Go to reverbnation.com and search on Nitro Mean Streak Blues, Hairy Larry, or your other favorites. If you're promoting your music on the internet they have a great player widget and free mail list software. Here's Mean Streak Blues now and they're "Stuck In New York".

Nitro_Mean_Streak_Blues-ReverbNation-Monkey_On_My_Back.wav
Nitro_Mean_Streak_Blues-ReverbNation-Pet_The_Kitty.wav
And that's some more from Nitro, "Monkey On My Back" and "Pet The Kitty". I love it when someone puts some humor in their Blues.
We're cooking on KASU, closing out Something Blue with three hot songs from Lil Ed and The Blues Imperials. Lil Ed and The Blues Imperials are another great Chicago Blues Band. On the Alligator site they're compared to Hound Dog Taylor and The House Rockers, top praise from Alligator the company that brought you Hound Dog Taylor. You can also visit with the Ed Heads at liledandthebluesimperials.com where they've got a great photo gallery. We'll hear them play "Hold That Train", "Chicken Gravy And Biscuits", and "Compact Man".

Oh yeah, that's Jimmy Lloyd Rea and the Switchmasters "Runnin' On Texas Time" and just cooking.

Jimmy_Lloyd_Rea-Cruzin_For_A_Bloozin-Life_On_The_Machine.wav
Jimmy Lloyd Rea is a Cruzin For A Bloozin. He was singing his own song, "Life On The Machine". This whole CD was recorded live. Jimmy Lloyd Rea on bass and vocals, with Reverend Dan and Jerry Smith on guitars, they really put on a great show.
Texas Jake Lee is a member of the Blues guitar gang, an informal gaggle of guitarists put together by my friend Mike Dollins. For more on Texas Jake Lee, Mike Dollins, Jimmy Lloyd Rea, and David Reo log on to deltaboogie.com on the internet. Now for some more from Texas Jake Lee. He's got a message here about how if we all sing the Blues maybe we can all get along.
Texas_Jake_Lee-Blues_Following_Me-If_We_All_Sing_The_Blues.wav
That was Texas Jake Lee singing the truth in a song he calls "If We All Sing The Blues". Jake Lee is the King of Slide. You can find him on MySpace, at Live Blues World, and at his website, jakeleeblues.com. He's a great songwriter and an outstanding musician.
I'm Hairy Larry and you're listening to Something Blue on KASU, the home of the Blues in Northeast Arkansas. We're gonna stay with Texas Jake Lee here. From the Blues Following Me album, Jake Lee "Can't Stand It.
Texas_Jake_Lee-Blues_Following_Me-Cant_Stand_It.wav
David_Reo-Greatest_Hits_Volume_II-Shoot_First.wav
All right, that's David Reo singing "Shoot First", a rocking Blues from his Greatest Hits, Volume II. David Reo is from Ventura, California and we have also featured him playing with his band, The Preachers. He's got your hot guitar and he knows how to mellow down easy. Now, closing the show, David Reo's gonna get all soulful with this great Blues song he wrote called "Not Fooling Around".
David_Reo-Greatest_Hits_Volume_II-Not_Fooling_Around.wav
We are now entering the internet only after hours portion of the show. George and I played a great set last night at Caffe Buono. We had a blast and it shines through. We kicked with three Dylan songs, "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues", "Memphis Blues Again", and "Visions Of Johanna". Then I took off my jester's hat and we did "Hesitation Blues" and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out". George sang "Route 66" and I closed the show with two of my own songs, "Can You Really?" and "Younger Days". Caffe Buono is a great venue and we always have a good time when we play there. So, just as timely as can be, here's Hairy Larry and George recorded on April 24, 2009, live at Caffe Buono.

Link rot is a fact of life on the internet and not all the songs in the radio show were still available at the time of the podcast. I substituted Hairy Larry and Rhode Island Red in for some of the Tampa Red and I also had to use different Bessie Smith songs then those listed. So don't let the wrong spoken parts throw you. It's just the internet. Different every day.
So this script is correct for the radio show but not for the podcast.

We have a special show tonight featuring all live concert music recorded at Jazz and Blues Festivals around the country and in Canada.

Welcome to Something Blue. I'm Hairy Larry and I've got the Blues, for you.
Trafic_de_Blues-Fin_de_cavale-Steady_B.wav
All right now, you find the Memphis sound in the most unusual places. The band is called Trafic de Blues and they're from France. We heard "Tribute To The Kings" and "Steady B".
I found the band on jamendo.com, an internet site with thousands of free and legal downloads. The internet is a great place for independent artists to promote their music and Jamendo is a great website for the artists and their fans. All of the music I'm playing tonight is from Jamendo.
You're listening to Something Blue on KASU and we're on the internet too. Log on to the Something Blue website at sbblues.com to hear the shows as podcasts anytime. And log on now to participate in the liveblog discussion about this show, in progress.
Next up another band from France called the jpfmband. Their album is called Paris SF and we'll hear "Besse A Stress" and "Shuffle For KM".
jpfmband-Paris_SF-Besse_A_Stress.wav
jpfmband-Paris_SF-Shuffle_for_KM.wav
Oh yeah, great music from the jpfmband. Go to jamendo.com to hear the whole album.
And now I've got Jampy. I won't try to pronounce the album name but it's spelled Nghzk, and the song is called "Trying to Play Some Jazzy Blues".

Amanova-single-What_a_way_to_be.wav
Ok now, kicking off the set, another one from Jampy called "Noris". And then the only vocal tonight. Amanova sang "What A Way To Be".
You're listening to Something Blue on KASU, the home of the Blues every Saturday night.
Next we have a band that mixes Jazz and the Blues into their own sound. They're called 2extended and here's "Caught In Your Dreams".
2Extended-Blue_Dreams_And_Musty_Watermelons-Caught_In_Your_Dreams.wav
2Extended-Blue_Dreams_And_Musty_Watermelons-Musty_Boogie.wav
All right, that's 2extended doing "Musty Boogie" from their CD Blue Dreams and Musty Watermelons. Closing the show tonight is another great song from Trafic de Blues, "From St. Denis". Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, Blues is the mainstream.

Both of these songs and the entire show tonight come from the Live Music Archive, a collection of recordings of concert performances available for free on the internet at archive.org. I'm focusing this week on Jam Bands as it seems all of them have a fair amount of Blues in their repertoire.
You're listening to Something Blue on KASU. As always we're jamming the Blues on Saturday night. Log on to the Something Blue website on the internet at sbblues.com and join me in an ongoing discussion about the show.

Welcome to Something Blue. I'm Hairy Larry and I've got the Blues, for you.
Mississippi_Millie-Front_Porch_Blues-Handfull_of_Trouble.mp3

Will Riley recorded his "My Baby's Got Me By The Blues" album at Blues Alley in Jonesboro. Will wrote and sang all the songs and played guitar. Bix Smith also played guitar, on drums was John Sifford and Uldis Heyl on bass. Will is a great performer and he really has a way with lyrics.
Now, right here on KASU, here's his Gospel Blues, "Been Down To The Water".

Ronnie Presley is from Caraway, Arkansas. I met him at the King Biscuit festival in Helena, Arkansas and he has performed at Blues Fest many times. I'm pleased to present songs from a live concert recorded at The Craighead Forest Bandshell. Ronnie's playing acoustic guitar and singing the Blues. We're gonna start right now with a Creedence song, "Who'll Stop The Rain".

You're listening to Something Blue on KASU.
Suzanne Michell is another gifted and versatile performer. When she got an electric guitar I said now she's electric and eclectic. These next recordings are unlike anything I've ever heard her do. Traditional songs sung in close harmonies bordering on vocalese. Here she is now with a Steven Foster song, "Hard Times Come Again No More".
Suzanne_Michell-Playhouse_Sampler-Hard_Times.wav
Suzanne_Michell-Songs_Ive_Always_Sung-Swing_Low_Sweet_Chariot.wav

It was my birthday in 1969 and I took the whole party to see Hound Dog Taylor at Alice's Restaurant on the North Side of Chicago. There was a jam in progress when we got there and the jam band sounded great. We were already dancing when Hound Dog Taylor and The Houserockers took the stage. They sounded like nothing we'd ever heard before. That bass, that raw slide, the energy and spirit. It was overwhelming. And it had just begun.
The Blues scene in Chicago is a tight circuit and the word gets out who's hot when. There was a parade of Bluesmen jamming with the Houserockers that night. When they finally finished it was like we were still dancing on the first song. We'll hear "Give Me Back My Wig", "Gonna Send You Back To Georgia", "See Me In The Evening", and "Take Five" from the Deluxe Edition CD. Thanks to musicalley.com for making these songs available for this podcast.
I'm also featuring four songs by my band, The Mudcats, "Green Onions", "Sevens And Nines", "Surprise Blues", and "House Of The Rising Sun". The Mudcats feature George Hinds on bass and Randy Gambill on drums. Also playing with the Mudcats are special guests Robb Shelley on keys and Chris "Stinger" Stevens on guitar. On "House Of The Rising Sun" we had Scott Mathes on guitar.

Something Blue - Blues Poetry
Snake_Charmers-Been_Gone_Too_Long-Move_On_Blues.wav
Welcome to Something Blue. I'm Hairy Larry and I've got the Blues, for you.
Snake_Charmers-Been_Gone_Too_Long-Big_Big_Love.wav
All right now, it's the Snake Charmers giving us some "Big Big Love". A great band I met through the Blues Twibe on Twitter. They started the show with "Move On Blues". Both originals from their "Gone Too Long" CD.
You're listening to Something Blue on KASU. Log on to the Something Blue website at sbblues.com and follow the link to the liveblog discussion of this show in progress. I'm online right now, chatting about the Blues.
I've got some Blues Poetry for you. Jonesboro resident Richard Murray wrote the words and collaborated with Larry Baugh on these next two, "Writing Lines" and "Rain Fell Hard". Listen closely. Richard has definitely got something to say.

On June 27, 2009 I had family in to visit. We went to the Crowley's Ridge State Park for food, fun, and conversation. George and I played a set and we were joined by Kier on hambone and little Belle sang "Jesus Loves Me". It was a great time.

On May, 20, 2007 musicians from all over Arkansas converged on the Craighead Forest Bandshell. We called it the Arkansas Blues Caravan and we are playing live recordings from that show tonight for Something Blue on KASU.
Kicking us off we heard Suzanne Michell sing the "St. James Infirmary Blues". She was joined by Uncle Fred Wilson on harmonica and Blind Boy White on the slide trombone.
Then a short set from Jawbone and Jolene. They sang "New Stranger Blues", "The Evil That You Know", and "Blanket Of Blues".
Now for a Blues Rock number featuring Sandy and Roy McCann. Listen to Sandy sing about her "HiFi Daddy".

Now for a Blues Medley from Ben Brenner. Ben also played with The Big Blue Cats and some of the cats joined Sandy and Roy during their set. Blind Boy White joined Suzanne and Fred. And I had to help out the Big Blue Cats with their Butterfield song. I couldn't help myself. It just wouldn't be right without the harp. That's what Sandy was talking about when she said it's always different when you play it jam style.
Now here's Ben.

Ronnie will sing Bring It On Home, Had The Blues This Sunday Morning, I Believe, and Heaven On Earth. George and I do Guitar Blues, You win Again, Route 66, Hard Times, My Sticks Always Getting In The Way, and Gotta Serve Somebody.
These were both great shows and I was lucky to get good recordings. These songs are some of the highlights. You can hear everything at archive.org. Enjoy!
