Delta Boogie Newsletter-Gamerplus News - August 2025 - United Gospel Trio and NJHB at New Jazz In Jonesboro - NEA Game Fest - Three New Releases
NJHB At KASU New Jazz In Jonesboro
Opening Act - United Gospel Trio
August 2, 2025
7:00 PM
Brookland Methodist Youth Building
301 W. Matthews
Brookland, Arkansas
No cover charge
Tip jar for the band
NJHB will include musicians from the first season of New Jazz In Jonesboro and musicians who have never played with NJHB before. We will do some songs from our 2013 season and some new songs too. I call NJHB, the New Jazz House Band, Sun Ra Light but this time we might be Free Snarky Puppy.
Opening for NJHB the United Gospel Trio will sing jazz hymns.
Here's a link to NJHB's first album, "Circular Logic".

There will be music at the Craighead Forest Bandshell in Jonesboro, Arkansas, every Saturday night in August from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. Because of the Jazz show I won't be able to go on August 2 but I plan on attending the rest although sometimes I may be late. I have been gigging Saturday nights from 6:00 to 7:00 at Stage Too, at Main and Monroe in Jonesboro.

NEA Game Fest was in the Embassy Hilton on the campus of Arkansas State University and the NEA Gamers Guild raised over $18,000 for the Friends Of The Library. I would say a good time was had by all but I can only speak for myself. (There's always a curmudgeon somewhere)
I played in three Old School B/X games run by my son Carl and, as always, each was exceptional. The high point was a two player game with DM Carl. I played the halfling Caper, a character I have played for over thirty years, and I played next to my seven year old grandson and Carl's nephew, Corbin, who was the star of Game Fest. Corbin solved the final puzzle. He poured the barrel of water into the dry fountain which started the fountain and opened the door to the treasure.
Corbin spent most of the weekend at the free tables teaching kids and adults board games. Like Dabaw, like son, like grandson.
I play tested my new board game, 10Print - Maze Art & Tactical Combat. I had many play testers who all had great ideas and the game blossomed into something truly exceptional. I am going to write a post about that. To find my posts go to

I am releasing two albums this week and I hope to finish recording a third.
John Good and Friends - Honky Tonk Joy
https://archive.org/details/honky-tonk-joy
Jay Shepherd - Millennium Fair
https://mixremix.cc/faircamp/millenium-fair/
And I hope to finish recording The Arkansawyers - Lyrics by Tom Turner and Bill Stroud this week. And I'll be recording a new NJHB album too. Live at KASU New Jazz In Jonesboro on August 2. (See how I came full circle?)
