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.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents John T. Parks Playing Life
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-04-14
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a little philosophy from a fine Arkansas songwriter.
One of the benefits of volunteering to work at KASU and recording for Something Blue is that I get to meet so many great musicians. That’s how I met John Parks, recording him at KASU live events. And there’s been quite a few of them. I can even say that over the years we’ve become friends in music, one of the best kind of friends that you can have.
On November 11, 2014, KASU booked John T. Parks to play at the KASU Coffeehouse held at the Arts@311 in downtown Jonesboro. He played solo, standing there singing while accompanying himself on a 6 string guitar. I love duets, trios, and bands, and I’ve recorded John in all of these configurations. But there’s just something powerful about a solo performance.
Especially when the performer is playing all original songs. The truth rings clear from a single voice, words and music written by the singer.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Playing Colossus
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-03-31
Thanks Marty, Today we’re going to hear a radio edit of one of NJHB’s most played songs.
NJHB had their first recording session at HairyLarryLand on December 29, 2012. From that session we released our first album, “Circular Logic” that included my song “Colossus”.
In 2013 we were the New Jazz House Band playing once a month at TheArts@311 in downtown Jonesboro. Every month the personnel varied and every month we released another album.
On February 2, 2012, we recorded the album “Colossus”, with the cover art showing the Colossus Of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Then on July 6, 2013, we recorded our most accessible album, “Cookin’ For Piper” and we closed the show with “Colossus”.
