My day off. I plan on finishing the artwork and releasing my new album, Hairy Larry Live at the Delta Dirt Distillery. I also need to start on some post production backlog for some friends of mine I recorded live earlier this year. I appreciate their patience. Work in the yard. Find a new book. Rest and read.
In spite of bad weather cutting the show 2 1/2 hours short the Levon Helm Festival was fantastic. I got to hear Amy play twice. Then I got to drive home in the rain. Today unload the car. Church. Game day in the afternoon. Read and rest.
Camping in Marvell, AR, for the Levon Helm Down Home Jubilee. I did a livestream on Youtube this morning playing some band and some dylan. Amy Helm is at 1:00 at the front porch stage. Then music all afternoon on two stages. They are expecting rain about 7:00 but we shall see...
This is the best solo piano set I have ever played. By solo I mean with my iReal Pro backing tracks providing bass and drums.
This was at 3:30 PM during the second day of the King Biscuit Blues Festival.

Today I'm going to do some carpentry work, swim, rest, and continue with the post production work on my October 11 chill jazz piano show at The Delta Dirt Distillery.
It's getting dark. I downloaded my livestream and turned it into a video. I took a nice nap. I unloaded the car and added a shelf where the back seat used to be behind the driver's seat. Megan came home from the dentist. I cooked and ate and read myself to sleep. I baked cookies. I fixed a laptop. I researched fixing my second battery.
We had another great day at Blues Fest yesterday. It was so good that I had leg cramps last night. Today I have to unload the car and load the media onto the computer. Work on my camping list. Charge the second battery. Swim. Rest. Practice piano. Play guitar with James Carvell. It's my day off!
Last Day Of Blues Fest! Yesterday we ran from 2:00 to 10:00. Today should be 2:00 to 6:00. So, get the recording gear ready. Cook, eat, soak. Blues Fest. Come home and rest.

Thanks Marty, today we're going to dive back into philosophy with the help of a philosophy professor.
Dr. Bill Stroud taught philosophy at ASU in the seventies. Vivian took classes from him and he had a deep impact on her. She talked about him all the time. I remember one time, back in the seventies, when we went to visit him.
But when I met Vivian she was a senior finishing her English Literature degree and her philosophy classes were behind her. We went on with our lives, raised a family, ran a business, promoted music, went to church, continued our education, all the stuff people do in their lives.
Unbeknownst to me, my friend Tom Turner also took philosophy from Bill Stroud in the seventies. I only found this out when John Spencer told me that Tom Turner had turned some of Bill Stroud's poems into songs and he wanted us to record them. Tom Turner remained in touch with Dr. Stroud and they had become lifelong friends.
I worked with John and Tom on the "Road To Brigadoon" album in 2011, which came out great. When I saw my opportunity to work with Bill Stroud, the philosophy professor who meant so much to Vivian, I was immediately onboard. After talking to John we decided we wanted Cheryl Culp to join us recording the album. She also sang on "Road To Brigadoon".
So, I produced the album. The musicians were Cheryl, John, and myself. I decided to call the group The Arkansawyers and to title the album "Lyrics By Tom Turner And Bill Stroud" to emphasize the poetry. I will include a link to the album at sbblues.com.
Now, Bill is sick. We are all worried about him. He has heard the album and I sent him a CD. So I am dedicating this podcast to Dr. Bill Stroud. It took all five of us to make the album but his poems were what brought us together to record again.
For the podcast I picked a song Tom Turner adapted from his poem "Road To Bethlehem". I will include the poem in this post at sbblues.com.
And I will sing the lyrics for you now. Here's The Arkansawyers with "Road To Bethlehem".
The Arkansawyers - Lyrics by Tom Turner and Bill Stroud https://archive.org/details/the-arkansawyers
Road to Brigadoon with protest song "Blood On The Water" https://archive.org/details/road_to_brigadoon

Road To Bethlehem by Bill Stroud, Ph.d Originally published in "Collected Poems - Moments In Poetry"
Where is my road to Bethlehem? Where is my eastern Star? I've stumbled in the dark of night, Sought light both near and far.
Where are the wise men bearing gifts? Where is the treasured gold? I've felt the curse of poverty Destroy my very soul.
Where is the manger of the Child? Where is the bed of hay? I've slept on concrete in the cold and begged for food each day.
Where do the herald angels sing? Where is their peace on earth? Why was there sadness in the air, No song heard at my birth?
Why should we sing "Joy To The World," Revere the "Silent Night"? Where is my road to Bethlehem? Where is the star so bright?
O Bethlehem, O Bethlehem, Is that a baby's cry? Is it the voice of misery, Or herald from on high?
music
And that's The Arkansawyers with a song Tom Turner adapted from Dr. Bill Strouds poem, "Road To Bethlehem". Don't miss Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00, to hear Vincent Holden, Tony Williams, and Frank Zappa.
