Delta Boogie Newsletter-Gamerplus News - November 2024 - Blues Fest Reprise - The Dragon's Egg - Embedding Mastodon Threads
Music
On September 29 we all showed up at the Craighead Forest Bandshell for Blues Fest and there was no electricity. Fortunately, I had my JBL Eon One Compact to use with Bebop Beatniks and it has batteries.
We ran the whole day one that amp. After Bebop Beatniks we heard The Spencer Brothers and Doug Butler. All the performances were great. I'm already playing some of the songs on Something Blue.
Gaming
I wrote a TTRPG called The Dragon's Egg.
At noon today I'm going to Library Game Day at the Jonesboro Public Library, which is hosted every month by NEA Gamers Guild. I'm going to play some RPGs and I may get to play test The Dragon's Egg.
I wrote a program called Embedding Mastodon Threads that makes it easy to embed a conversation on Mastodon in your blog or website. I had some help. I want to thank.
These are their Mastodon addresses. They helped me, on Mastodon, to write an addon program for Mastodon. I write about the whole experience here.

DJ Hairy Presents Bebop Beatniks Playing The Blue Crane
From The Archives Of Something Blue - 2024-10-27
Thanks Marty. Today I'm going to play the title track of the soon to be released Bebop Beatniks album, "The Blue Crane".
Every fall I enter my festival season starting with Beatles At The Ridge, then Blues Fest, and then The King Biscuit Blues Festival. Sometimes things work out better than you could expect. Jeremy Jackson and Alex Washam both have busy lives, Conley Hunt started working on weekends, and I also had issues so we hadn't played together as a full band all year. And we also hadn't played with a horn player since last year's Blues Fest.
We were scheduled to play at Beatles At The Ridge, the next weekend at Blues Fest, and then the next weekend Alex was getting married. So congratulations to Alex and Rachel, but you can see how this would complicate our schedule.
Fortunately, Jeremy was able to play both dates and Alex was able to play at Beatles At The Ridge so, fingers crossed, I soldiered on.
And now …
Introducing Dr. Paul Lessard.
Paul is the new theory and composition professor at ASU this year. I'm not in school but I took my degree in composition and I wanted to meet him.
We got together in his office and hit it off immediately, talking about music composition. It's surprising how few people I know who actually want to talk about composition and it's definitely one of my obsessions.
Well … Paul plays jazz saxophone and he said to let him know if we were getting together to play because he'd like to sit in.

Going To The Biscuit
2024 King Biscuit Blues Festival.
Before the pandemic I went every year. First to dance and then to play. Not that I didn't dance and play every year.
I last attended in 2019. I played with The Emporium Orkestra at Downtown Bar and Grill. Delta Legends played on the Cedell Davis Stage. And I played with all my friends at Tent City and Helena Handbasket.
I am so looking forward to this. It's gonna be great. I'm taking my guitar, harmonicas, and my piano. I hope I don't get too tired.
I can't wait to see my friends again and eat another biscuit.
