Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a song I wrote that NJHB played at my Senior Recital.
The Senior Recital is a rite of passage for music students, the most important recital in their undergraduate studies. My recital was on November 8, 2013, and I had been playing all year with NJHB, the New Jazz House Band. It only made sense to me to bring this rehearsed act to the Fine Arts Recital Hall to close the recital with 4 of my original compositions.
My song, "Colossus", was one of our favorites and we kicked off the NJHB set with it.
This recording of Colossus featured Arkansas musicians, Suzanne Michell - vocals, Addison Boling - drums, Matt Jackson - bass, Jay Shepherd - guitar, Don Bowyer - trombone, Joseph Curtis - trumpet, Cody Ballard - tenor sax, and Hairy Larry - piano and vocals.
Suzanne and Fred drove up from Little Rock to play the recital. Matt Jackson, from Kennett, Missouri, attended school at ASU, and Don Bowyer, who has played trombone all over the world, was the Dean of Fine Arts. I attended classes with all the other musicians and Jay and Cody have also taught at the music department. I was more than pleased to have such fine musicians presenting my songs at the recital.
Ok now, Here's NJHB, recorded live on November 8, 2013, playing "Colossus" in the Fine Arts Recital Hall.
And that's NJHB playing "Colossus" at my Senior Recital on November 8, 2013. Don't miss Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00, to hear Bob Reynolds, The James Quintet, and Regis V. Gronoff.

27:44 Stardust by Hoagy Carmichael public domain
While Frederick Douglass is best known for his writings on anti-slavery, he was also an outspoken advocate for literacy and its ability to empower. Born into slavery in 1818 and barred from educational resources, Frederick Douglass taught himself to read and write largely through his own perseverance and ingenuity. In his 1845 autobiography Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Douglass describes his realization that reading and writing were essential to his emancipation. Put succinctly in his own words, “Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.”
...
Frederick Douglass died in 1895 so all of his work is in the public domain.
Amazing maps of the cosmos and the Earth including the entire Earth mapped as underground caverns.
"Levi Walter Yaggy’s Geographical Study (1887) unpacks like a matryoshka doll. The experience begins with a heavy wood box, outfitted with leather straps and brass clasps, inside of which is a sheaf of complex maps and charts, and a learning guide on how they should be used in the classroom. The maps are each the size of a small rug (ranging between two and four feet) — large enough to lay on the floor and have pupils gather around — and all save one are printed expensively, on thick paper with chromolithography. The exception is a green relief map of the United States, made of plaster and papier-mâché and built directly in the carrying case. It’s the least charming of the suite, though it made Yaggy justifiably proud: most of the mountains he depicts had yet to be measured. The remaining maps, of Earth and its cosmos, are packed in such a way as to avoid being crinkled by the Rocky Mountains."
Open Collective is a legal and financial toolbox for grassroots groups. It’s a fundraising + legal status + money management platform for your community.
"I’ve noticed a lot of instances are using #patreon to collect instance fees and donations. Patreon is shareholder owned. When you make payments through Patreon, 7% of your payment goes to Patreon, which ultimately goes to Patreon shareholders.
That’s not a model that suits the #fediverse. Here’s an alternative: use https://opencollective.com/. It’s a co-op, and it only charges 2%, which ultimately gets used to fund new #coops. Now, that’s a more #decentralised, fediverse-style model, isn’t it!"
Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear an original post bop jazz piece recorded at Harriet O'Neal's piano studio.
Regular listeners know that I'm a composition major at ASU. There's more to being a composition major than putting notes on a page. You are also expected to arrange readings of your pieces, make recordings, and perform recitals.
I wrote a piece called "Chunga", a prequel to Frank Zappa's "Chunga's Revenge". Harriet O'Neal was my piano teacher and she agreed to help play a reading and make a recording of the piece. Harriet was raised in Wynne, Arkansas, and she taught at ASU.
I pulled some top area musicians to fill out the rhythm section. On bass I had David Eckert, librarian at the Jonesboro Public Library who gave lessons at ASU and on drums, John Long, band director at Walnut Ridge.
For the saxophone parts I had two excellent musicians who I had played with in the jazz program at ASU, Aaron Decker - alto, and Cody Ballard - tenor. The bari player I had scheduled was out of town so I played the bari parts on my synthesizer.
I recorded the song to my Zoom H4. We played two takes. The second one was better.
So now, recorded on November 21, 2011 at Harriet O'Neals piano studio, right here in Northeast Arkansas, here's my post bop composition, "Chunga".
And that's a song I wrote, "Chunga", recorded by some fine Northeast Arkansas musicians on November 21, 2011. Don't miss Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00, for some international post bop from J. D. Allen, Masao Nakajima, Eji Oyewole, and Koichi Matsukaze.

It got cold in November. And then it got cold again in December. As far as Vivian and I are concerned we've had enough of that for one winter.
We had a great Christmas with most of our family here on Christmas Eve and then a big family Christmas with all of our kids and grandkids on New Years Day.
It don't get no better than that.
Stay in touch. Let me know about your projects and your news.

The last Inspired Unreality of the year is on Saturday, December 3, at 11:00 AM Central. We will be discussing Fantasy and Science Fiction. We've got opinions and we hope you do too. I just finished "Harrow The Ninth" by Tamsyn Muir and now I'm in the middle of "This Is How You Lose the Time War" by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. We are making viewing arrangements for the new "Willow" series. We're all big "Willow" fans, here.
Inspired Unreality open game chat is held in the gamerplus chatrooms at Tenkar's Tavern on Discord. There's more info and a link here.
I post my Mastodon link at the bottom of every Gamer+ news.
My daughter Megan has been giving me advice on new Fantasy and Science Fiction novels. She says, "Readers are the best people because they see the world through many sets of eyes. They know both that their experiences are not unique and that no one sees the world in quite the same way as them."
Join us for Inspired Unreality open game chat on Saturday, November 19, at 11:00 AM Central. All gaming is on topic and the opening topic will be Fantasy and Science Fiction.
Inspired Unreality is held in the gamerplus chatrooms at Tenkar's Tavern on Discord. There's more info and a link here.
Follow Me And Die posted about his twitch stream called How To Mastodon For Twitter Users - Keep in Touch with fellow TTRPG folks with the possible demise of Twitter.
You may have noted my Mastodon link in the signoff of these emails. I've been communicating in the fediverse for years. Mastodon is open source software run all over the world by businesses and hobbyists. I think it's about to achieve critical mass whether Twitter survives or not.
The fediverse is decentralized so you kind of have to shift gears in your head. Other apps besides Mastodon can communicate with Mastodon users, for example you can share your Peertube videos to Mastodon accounts and the replies somehow end up on your Peertube account.
Very interesting.
I posted 15 brilliant color fantasy illustrations from "The Russian Story Book" drawn by Frank C. Pape. Published in 1916 the illustrations are public domain.
It's our fiftieth! All those family games. Fifty years of family games. What a thing to think about.
Our family is coming in so there will be no Inspired Unreality open game chat in the morning. We will be back in two weeks on November 19. And then December 3 should finish the year. So, Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. Wait! Didn't we just have Halloween?

Well ... Caper has a sketchbook. Full of mushrooms from the shire. Some of the sketches are annotated in an arcane language called English Script. Join us at Inspired Unreality as we decipher Caper's sketchbook.
Bring your own topic. All gaming is on topic. We've been enjoying our explorations of Tobbins Shire and personally, I really dig Caper's sketchbook.
Inspired Unreality is held on the first and third Saturdays each month except coming up in November and December we're on Holiday hours, first Saturday only.
Caper's sketchbook was actually drawn across 42 years by a female mycologist named M. F. Lewis. Now public domain.
Blues Fest was a blast with Hairy Larry and The Flying Hungarians opening the festival. We had more than a few of us who are Related To Geeks on stage and several guests as well.

01. DJ Hairy Larry presents NJHB playing "Catamaran"
02. Something Blue - Streak - 29 second spot
Thanks Marty, today we're hearing one of my jazz pieces recorded live at the Craighead Forest Bandshell.
NJHB is a different kind of jazz band without established personnel or repertoire. As usual when we played at the Craighead Forest Bandshell on June 2, 2013, it was the first and only time we played with this group of musicians.
So for this show we had Matt Jackson - bass, Mike "Zif" Lovell - guitar, Suzanne Michell - vocals, drums, and percussion, Carl Holden - guitar, Jay Shepherd - guitar, "Shugga" Shane Chastain - Roland Fantom, Addison Boling - drums, and Hairy Larry - Fender Rhodes, vocals, percussion, and dancing.
We are all from the Jonesboro Area except Suzanne is from Little Rock and Matt Jackson is from Kennett, Missouri.
We had an hour set so we got to play three songs. We tend to play long arrangements. The recording of "Catamaran" was close to 20 minutes long. On the album it's 12 minutes. So I made a radio edit that's 7 minutes long to play for you today. There's a link to the whole concert at sbblues.com.
In the process of doing the radio edit I did a lot of active listening. So I'm going to share some of the things I noticed about this recording.
Suzanne Michell is one of the best scat singers I have ever heard. There are places in the song where Suzanne and I are both scatting and Jay Shepherd joins the conversation on his guitar. Both Matt Jackson on bass and Addison Boling on drums play excellent solos.
There's no horns but we have three guitars and two keyboards. This can be a recipe for disaster but everyone listened while they played making space for the other musicians.
So now, recorded at the Craighead Forest Bandshell on June 2, 2013, here's NJHB playing my song, "Catamaran".
And that's NJHB playing "Catamaran" at the Craighead Forest Bandshell on June 2, 2013. Don't miss Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00, for more NJHB, Charlie Hunter, and Steve Lawson.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Lisa Ahia
From The Archives Of Something Blue March 26, 2023
Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear Lisa Ahia sing a Leon Russell song.
After I went back to school I spent a lot of time playing jazz and listening to local jazz musicians. I decided to do an ASU Jazz Festival, Bebopalooza!, on campus and featuring some great jazz by ASU students, alumni, and faculty.
With my close ties to KASU I wanted the station involved too and they were glad to help, both with promotion and then with booking some of the bands.
On October 15, 2011, we had Bebopalooza! outside of the Student Union. Closing the festival it was Gary Gazaway and The Memphis Jazz All Stars featuring Lisa Ahia singing. They played a great set with everyone thrilled by Lisa Ahia's vocals.
