Thanks Marty, today we're going to celebrate the days of Auld Lang Syne.
Ok, I strive for variety in my From The Archives Of Something Blue podcasts. Fortunately I have a huge backlog of recordings in many styles of music.
This is the first time I've ever played the exact same band playing at the exact same concert one week apart.
But when I found "What Child Is This" on a KASU Jazz For The Holidays concert I noticed that they ended the show with "Auld Lang Syne". And you know, New Years follows Christmas every year so.
The song is based on Scottish folk songs. I quote.
Robert Burns sent a copy of the original song to the Scots Musical Museum in 1788 with the remark, "The following song, an old song, of the olden times, and which has never been in print, nor even in manuscript until I took it down from an old man."*
Much of the lyric was actually written by Robert Burns.
The first recording of the song was made on wax cylinder in 1898.*
Playing that night were.
Lisa Ahia - vocals
Gary Gazaway - trumpet
Joy Sanford - piano
Tim Crouch - violin
Robert Bowlin - guitar
David Eckert - bass
and
John Long - drums
Some of the best musicians in Northeast Arkansas.
I'll post a link to the concert at the Something Blue website, sbblues.com.
So, now, recorded on December 1, 2018, here's Lisa Ahia singing "Auld Lang Syne".

I played this on my twitch livestream on October 17, 2021, with an arrangement designed for collaboration. Collaborators play over a piano trio with the bass and drums provided by an irealpro script with the chords for my original song, "Malaysia". The irealpro app can be viewed running on my tablet on the right side of the video screen.

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.
I even played songs he recorded for Corte’ on Something Blue recorded by Jerry Bone at Bare Bones Recording.
On the song we’re going to hear today Jerry is playing everything except the drum track. The song is part of his “Scattered And Smothered” collection.
So here’s Jerry Bone now playing the Beatles song, “Something”.

Found in the crypt of a Belgian family with no heirs, this mysterious object introduces a previously unknown form of divination technique, and perhaps something more.
The crypt belonged to a secluded family sect known as the Deferots. Among the local countryside youth, the urban myth tells that the place is exceptionally haunted on an already possessed cemetery. They often dare each other to enter during the night. So it happened that a group of teenagers descended and found the box among the coffins and allegedly saved it from enormous rats chewing on it. They took the box as evidence of their bravery and word got out, eventually into the ears of our investigators. We bargained for the box, which wasn't difficult as its new owners were quite fearful of it.
