DJ Hairy Larry Presents Jazz Alliance Playing Pulling Across The Lawn
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2025-11-16
Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear an original jazz song recorded right here, in Jonesboro.
In my sixties I started attending the Jazz Alliance concerts, enjoying the music and eventually recording an album of Ron Horton originals. Ron was on trumpet and Craig Collison played vibraphone. They were both teaching at ASU at the time so they were my gateway back into the Music Department where I took Marimba from Mr. C and Jazz Improv from Dr. Horton.
I already knew Craig Collison because he played drums on the Joe Lee album, "Boppin' At The Forest", that I recorded in 2001.
You've heard of one name celebrities like Cher or Drake. Well, Craig is a one letter celebrity known to all his students as Mr. C.
And I'm still playing with Mr. C. He played vibes on my 1625 Groove Street album and he is currently playing with my new band, #jazz #blues #fusion.

D1000 Dice Table For Naming Hounds
This was my gaming project for today. A D1000 Dice Table!
It started when browsing Mastodon and I found a list of 1065 medieval dog names from The Names Of All Manner Of Hounds, a genuine Medieval book.
Quantity is a quality of itself and I immediately latched onto the idea of a D1000 Dice Table. I mean, it is a bit over the top, and nothing catches my interest like Over The Top.
To roll a D100 or percentile dice you roll the digit die numbered 0-9 and the tens place die numbered from 00-90. Add them together and all zeros is 100.
To roll a D1000 die at another ten sider (either type) of a different color. That is you hundreds die. All zeros is 1000.
Imagine that. All zeroes! What are the odds? One in a thousand, of course.
You can use the pngs if you want. I have a pdf derived from a Libre Office Write document. I can print these duplex so all one thousand names fit on both sides of two pages. I am working on getting it up at https://DriveThryRPG.com
Here's the PDF on Mega.
https://mega.nz/file/3Ylj0AwT#1rkoxw9e3CxI-oK1rWwzKQ8KYMd6pYAXyOFuOkxVy-E
Be sure to click for more pictures. You might want to right click the image and open in another tab. Go to that tab and click the pic to embigify.
Everything used in this project is public domain and so is the four page printout.
Have fun naming your dogs.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents El Bujo And Mike Gordon Playing Wham Bam Boodle
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2025-11-09
https://sbblues.com/2025/11/09/dj-hairy-larry-presents-el-bujo-and-mike-gordon-playing-wham-bam-boodle/
Thanks Marty. Today we're going to hear an original song that's based in the blues.
On June 30, 2001, the 1st Annual Tulsa Jamfest was at The Monkey Bar in Tulsa, Oklohoma. The headline act was Whirligig and after a few songs they brought on El Buho and Mike Gordon. El Bujo is Gary Gazaway's festival act and Mike Gordon was bassist and a founding member of Phish, a band Gary has played with.
They played an amazing set, featuring songs Gary wrote. All of the songs I have picked from this show for this podcast and for the Something Blue show Saturday night are Gary Gazaway originals.
The one I picked to play today is based in the blues and sounds great. The only problem is it's 22 minutes long which, as they say in the trade, is not radio friendly. So I did a radio edit and we will hear the first third of the song.
I posted a link to the complete concert on the Something Blue website at sbblues.com where you can hear the whole song as well as the whole show.
Gary Gazaway has helped KASU with jazz performances many times. So, thanks Gary for all your help and for all your great music everywhere, all over the world, over the years.
So now here's a Gary Gazaway original, "Wham Bam Boodle" recorded at The Monkey Bar in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on June 30, 2001.

I also had a great time visitng with long time biscuit friends and remembering friends passed. As Mayor Mike said, their ghosts are still here.
October 18 - Levon Helm Down Home Jubilee in Marvell, Arkansas - I did a livestream early in the morning and enjoyed the show. I spent time with many old friends and made some new ones including Charlotte Taylor, Carla Robinson, Detroit Johnny, Ben Ben, and Gregg Cook.

And there's more in the pipes. We've got a lot of talented musicians in Northeast Arkansas.
On the gaming front I have been playing in a Thursday night campaign and a Sunday afternoon campaign. Convention games and one offs are great but the best D&D experience is a weekly campaign with a good table. 5e isn't my favorite version but D&D is my favorite game and I am fortunate to be imagining the dream, twice a week.
I'm going to town to get some upichew.
What's upichew?
Not a lot. What's upichew?
Seriously. This has been a lot. What have you been doing? Music, gaming, whatever. We all want to know and, as they say on Mastodon, I boost a lot.
Let me know!
Please forward this email to someone you think will like it and share this link.
