Ok, there's a new Bebop Beatniks album out featuring Paul Lessard on alto sax playing on top of our piano trio with Jeremy Jackson on bass and Alex Washam, drums.

It's called "The Blue Crane" and it's got Audubon on the cover. Want to listen? Here's some links.

At Library Game Day the RPG table was kind enough to let me playtest The Dragon's Egg. The modified combat went well. It's great to just look for ones and not have to add stuff up. (The Dragon's Egg uses D6 dice pools in combat and if you roll a 1 on any die you miss.)

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Carl Heyl Reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2025-01-05

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti read at the Craighead Forest Bandshell.

Bebop Beatniks was designed with spoken word in mind. It's right there in the band name, Bebop says jazz and Beatniks says beat poetry.

At the Craighead Forest Bandshell on June 18, 2016, Bebop Beatniks opened their set with a song I wrote called "Church" and I invited my son, Carl Heyl, to read a poem called "9" from Lawrence Ferlinghetti's "Coney Island Of The Mind".

As always, Carl was entertaining, and he delivered the poem by portraying the scene, making it come alive for the audience.

Playing in Bebop Beatniks that day were, Kevin Tinker - trumpet, Sid Davis - trumpet, Paul Nunis - bass, and I'm on piano.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Jerry Bone Playing Something

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-12-29

Jerry Bone And Illa Jones Playing At The Arkansas Roots Festival

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear an Arkansas musician play all the instruments over a drum track on his arrangement of "Something".

And not just anything either. I'm talking about the George Harrison song "Something", one of the most famous and most popular of the Beatles' songs.

To say Jerry Bone is a fixture in Arkansas music is an understatement. He played bass with Mark Sallings and The Famous Unknowns when they were the house band at B.B. King's Club on Beale Street. He also played with Tony Spinner.

He has a bit of history with KASU too playing with David Lynn Jones, Gerry Moss, and The Lockhouse Orchestra.

Besides playing bass for other musicians Jerry Bone also plays exceptional guitar and has released his own albums. His album, "Yankin' The Covers" is very well produced, which shouldn't be surprising since he runs his own recording studio in Hardy, Arkansas.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Bebop Beatniks Playing Low Earth Orbit

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-12-08

Thanks Marty. Today we're going to hear jazz, in space!

When I was writing for NJHB back in 2018 I wrote some titles based on physics, "Cold Fusion", "Quantum Blues", and "Entanglement", followed by some titles based on space flight, "Stratospheric", "Artificial Gravity", and "Low Earth Orbit".

"Low Earth Orbit" was the most accessible and the most fun to play and I have kept it in my repertoire ever since I wrote it, live streaming it through the pandemic and then playing it with Bebop Beatniks and Jazz Buskers.

The song is loosely based on "I've Got Rhythm" except even easier and played in a slow shuffle beat. I call it Honky Tonk jazz. Great for slow dancing.
