DJ Hairy Larry Presents Paul Lessard Playing White Rats And Meerkats | Something Blue
Posted on Sunday June 22, 2025

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a song I wrote this year and recorded at HairyLarryLand.

Paul Lessard is one of the finest jazz saxophonists I have ever worked with. When he joined the faculty at ASU I went to meet him to talk about music composition because, the truth is, there’s just not that many people into the nuts and bolts of music theory and composition. When I found out that he played jazz saxophone I knew I wanted to play with him.

Posted on Saturday June 21, 2025

I died choking on a carrot - final proof healthy living is a scam. I wake up in a glowing lobby that smells like eucalyptus and unresolved emotions.

In walks God, looking more like a tired barista than a thunder-wielding deity: hoodie, sandals, coffee mug that says "#1 Creator." They give me a kind smile. "Hey" they say, "Ready to reincarnate?"

DJ Hairy Larry Presents The Funk Donors Singing Troubled | Something Blue
Posted on Sunday June 15, 2025

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to bring the funk as played by a band that was popular here in Jonesboro before the pandemic.

Of course I’m talking about The Funk Donors. I never did get to hear them play live but I knew them by their reputation and I wanted to go see them since some of my friends were in the band. Fortunately they recorded a great album, “Flatland” and if you love live music like I do you can watch their videos on Youtube.

This all started when I went to see luvtrst. play at Stage Too. I was talking to Brian Nobles when he mentioned that he used to play in a band with Cody Ballard, the saxophonist in luvtrst. Well, my inquiring ears want to hear so I found out about the band and their album, “Flatland”.
