Delta Boogie Newsletter - August 2022 - Guerilla Livestreaming Craighead Forest Park
My grandson, Conley, joined me at Craighead Forest Park on July 13, 2022, to Guerilla Livestream Craighead Forest Lake. We played behind the bandshell with the lake behind us. We didn't get any ducks or geese swimming behind us but you can here them on the recording.
The Story Of Mister Mistmeister And His Many Transformations
Starting last February Ari and Caper have been adventuring in Tobbins Shire, west of Milyagon, through Wilken Woods, and across the river. We've been campaigning once or twice a month, sometimes with more PCs, and in July we finished a story arc.
I turned all of the session summaries into a booklet that can be downloaded here.
My daughters, Sarah and Megan, have opened a books, games, and hobby store in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, and the last three sessions were played at their store.
So it's been a good month for us in spite of the heat wave. I hope you've been staying cool and staying busy. Please let me know about your projects, music, and art.

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear John Shepherd joining me livestreaming on Twitch.
I am featuring jazz guitarists on Something Blue this week so I thought I would talk about playing jazz with John Shepherd on the Twitch Porch.
John and I go back to the early nineties. He was a Blues Fest regular always headlining for us. One thing about Blues Fest that isn't true about most festivals is we always stayed on time. The trick to that is telling the bands when their time is up. But I always gave John Shepherd the headline performance so he could play as long as he wanted.
I got to play with John a few times at Blues Fest. And then we started a band together with Jeremy Burnett on harp. We called the band Delta Legends and besides playing in Northeast Arkansas we played on the Cedell Davis stage at the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena every year.
We even got to record with Matt Lucas one time at HairyLarryLand when Matt and Barbara came to visit with Vivian and myself.
And then the pandemic happened and since we're old Vivian and I went into lockdown and that shut down my live performances.
My daughter Megan started gaming on Twitch and I had to keep up so I started my own Twitch channel where I would play chill jazz piano. I wrote the songs and then I wrote horn parts and then I turned our front porch into the Twitch Porch and started playing again, outdoors, with Bebop Beatniks and Jazz Buskers.
On April 10, 2022, John Shepherd joined me on the Twitch Porch and we played four of my jazz originals. The videos are on Youtube, I'll include links on the Something Blue website at sbblues.com. John and I had a great time so I thought I would play an extended blues with a nice slow groove for you today.
Ok now, here's John Shepherd joining me on the Twitch Porch on April 10, 2022, playing a real belly rubber, "Low Earth Orbit".
All right now, that's John Shepherd and Hairy Larry playing "Low Earth Orbit" on my twitch stream. Go to the Something Blue website at sbblues.com for links. Follow me on Twitch and subscribe on Youtube. Don't miss Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00 to hear more from John Shepherd on the Twitch Porch as well as Arial Calabria, Wolfgang Muthspiel, and John Scofield.

DJ Hairy Larry presents Joneseboro Jazz Society Big Band with Dizzy Gillespie playing “Manteca”.
01. DJ Hairy Larry Presents Joneseboro Jazz Society Big Band with Dizzy Gillespie
02. Something Blue – Season – 29 second spot
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a bebop legend playing with the Jonesboro Jazz Society Big Band.
Before Joe Lee passed I used to go to his house in the afternoon to digitize songs he had dug out of his archive. He always had a story about the musicians and the shows so I got my own personal From The Archives done Joe Lee style.
One week he told me about the time the Jonesboro Jazz Society brought Dizzy Gillespie to town to play. Before the show Joe was talking to Dizzy in the green room and Joe said, “We’re playing one of your songs tonight and we’d be glad to have you play a solo.” He told me that Dizzy demurred saying that he had his thing with his band and he wanted to do that show. Joe told me it was a long shot but worth the try.
The Jazz Society Big Band was hot that night and they were playing great. They started Dizzy’s composition strong and while Joe was playing his solo the crowd exploded. Joe thought wow and when he turned and saw Dizzy he laughed out loud. Dizzy played a great solo, of course, and then you can hear an inspired Mike Overall playing the drum setup into the shout chorus.

Saturday morning at 11:00 Central we will be chatting about Fantasy and Science Fiction on Inspired Unreality. And have I got stuff to talk about. I just finished a TOR Anthology of short stories. Now, for me, novels are too short. I need at least a trilogy to get excited. But I really liked this collection, Some Of The Best Of tor.com 2021.
And then they hit me with a free Brandon Sanderson Wayne and Wax novel, "The Alloy Of Law". And coming out in November, "The Lost Metal" will conclude the Wayne and Wax series.
Inspired Unreality is held every Saturday morning at 11:00 Central in the gamerplus chat rooms at Tenkar's Tavern on Discord. For more info and a link go here.

01. DJ Hairy Larry Presents Billy Lee Riley
02. Something Blue – Kid – 29 second spot
Thanks Marty, today we’re hearing some original delta blues recorded right here in Jonesboro.
Billy Lee Riley was a true Arkansas legend, starting his career at Sun Studio in the fifties and making more hits and playing on other people’s hits in the sixties, seventies, and eighties. Then in the nineties he had two hit blues albums, “Hot Damn!” and “Shade Tree Blues”. So I was more than pleased when he agreed to play at the 5 Decades Of Great Music fundraiser for the Craighead Forest Bandshell on May 25, 2000.
Besides Billy Lee Riley we also featured delta legends Joe Lee and Matt Lucas who also had 5 decades under their belt. Joe Lee played a jazz set, then Billy Lee Riley played the blues. We had an Allstar band where I got to play with all three of them. And then Matt Lucas took us home with a contemporary rockabilly act, Crossfire, and Billy Lee Riley hit the stage again singing his classic rock and roll recorded at Sun in the fifties.
It was a great show and everybody had a real good time. Today we’re going to hear a Billy Lee Riley original, recorded at 5 Decades Of Great Music, called “How Come We All Ain’t Got The Same”. So here’s Billy Lee Riley now introducing his own song.
This is Hairy Larry inviting you to enjoy Something Blue every Saturday night at ten. This week we’re featuring Arial Calabria, John Shepherd, Wolfgang Muthspiel, and John Scofield. For more about the show visit the Something Blue website at sbblues.com.

I don't really write modules. I do a setup, then goals, and I try to have assets ready, like pregens, NPCs, monster stats, maps, and pictures, to keep the gameflow smooth. I think it's more fun if the PCs determine the arc of the quest with their decisions in game.
