DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Playing Colossus
From The Archives Of Something Blue March 19, 2023
https://sbblues.com/2023/03/19/dj-hairy-larry-presents-njhb-playing-colossus/
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.

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.

Mike Sheward: "The air in the coffee shop was…" - G+DBN
Posted on Monday September 08, 2025
The air in the coffee shop was heavy with the scent of caramel tinged beverages, and warm pastries. Perhaps the only thing heavier and sweeter was the tension, that had been slowly developing at a corner table.
The occupants of that table exchanged glances and the occasional giggle as they sipped on their steaming sources of caffeine. Eventually, he decided it was the right time. He had been holding onto his emotions for far too long, he needed to say it. Even if it was the most terrifying thing could think of doing, he knew the whole trajectory of his life could likely hinge on the next few words out of his mouth. His heart rate began to climb.

Mike Sheward: "They both sat facing the wall.…" - G+DBN
Posted on Monday September 08, 2025
They both sat facing the wall. As they had done for hours, alternating between holding their respective heads in their hands and looking at the floor for variety.
The stalemate, between problem and solution, it seemed, was never to be broken.
Just then, she gasped. He heard her shift in breathing pattern and tilted his head to look at her, like a golden retriever does when you address it.
She stood up, and gestured with one finger on her left hand, as if to represent completing the final calculation and formulation of the idea.
“Yes…that’s it, I’ve got it!” She exclaimed.
He looked at her intently, as if he was waiting for the energy of the idea to emerge to be able to power his own voice.
“Suppose we simply turn off the computer,” she said, proudly.
