DJ Hairy Larry Presents Michael Ward Playing An Aperitif From The Archives Of Something Blue…

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Michael Ward Playing An Aperitif
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-03-10

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear an uptempo jazz standard performed by ASU students in the Fine Arts Recital Hall.

I met Michael Ward at the Delta Jazz Workshop when he was in high school. I was immediately impressed with his tenor sax playing and his improvisational approach. When he started at ASU he played with me in the Jazz Recital Band. And then, after the pandemic, he played with Bebop Beatniks on the twitch porch. I’ll post links to these performances on the Something Blue website at sbblues.com.

Then there I was reading the Monday Morning Music Memo and what do you know. It’s Michael Ward’s Senior Jazz Recital. I just had to go.

And I was glad I did. He played great with an old school tenor sax tone that I just loved. And the ensemble work was excellent too. I knew some of the musicians who played with him and I was glad to hear those I hadn’t heard before. I mean that’s why you got to live music, right? To hear something you haven’t heard before.

Ok now, I’ve put all my eggs in one basket. Gamer+, a server on the fediverse, has now incorporated the Delta Boogie Network. Both Gamer+ and the Delta Boogie Network have a long history of running social networks on unfederated servers, the kind where you only see people who have logged onto that particular server. That’s the past. The fediverse is the future. On G+DBN you can follow anyone on any federated server, whether it’s Mastodon, Firefish, Peertube, Funkwhale, &&etc.

So, for me, G+DBN is the one ring that rules them all. The place where I post and read and respond to your posts. I still have my account on mastodon.social and I do boost my hype there. But G+DBN is where I make all my social network posts.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Giant Steps Playing Tangerine

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Giant Steps Playing Tangerine

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-03-03

Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear a tenor sax rendition of a jazz standard recorded at KASU Jazz Thursday.

Giant Steps was a jazz combo featuring some of Jonesboro’s finest jazz musicians. The core group had Craig Baker, trumpet; Joy Sanford, piano; Tom Mason, bass; and Mike Overall, drums. Formerly known as Nightlife they played standards and they were a good dance band.

When they played for us at Jazz Thursday they brought Mike McGowan, a former resident of Jonesboro now living in Texas. As you will hear he’s fantastic on tenor sax.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Hairy Larry Playing Freddy’s Blues

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-02-25

Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear a livestream version of one of my most popular songs.

During the pandemic I would livestream on Twitch. I called my channel, Hairy Larry Practicing Piano and that’s exactly what I did. I practiced my repertoire of original songs using iRealPro backing tracks as my metronome.

I licensed all of these audio and video recordings Creative Commons Attribution. What exactly does that mean?

It means that if you want to use one of these songs in your project whether it’s a movie, a game, multimedia, or whatever you have permission to do that as long as the song is attributed correctly with the magic words, Freddy’s Blues by Larry Heyl or Freddy’s Blues by Hairy Larry.


I Use Linux For Video And Audio Production
Posted on Tuesday February 20, 2024

My workhorse programs

I use Xubuntu Linux. I think these applications run on all versions of Linux. The first three also run on Windows.

Here we go.

Gimp - image editor
Openshot - video editor
Audacity - audio editor
Brasero - cd dvd burner
K3B - Blue Ray burner
Deadbeef - audio player

I do a lot of radio production so I have to have Deadbeef because it gives the total length of the playlist so I know if I have enough music for the show.

I also use SAW Classic and mp3 Direct Cut under Wine. SAW Classic no longer runs under windows but I can still use it with linux. Great for mastering tracks and precision edits.

abcde - command line ripper replaces Exact Audio Copy another windows program I used to run under wine.

ffmpeg - command line video and audio processor.

VLC - swiss army knife for video and audio

There are many others but these are my workhorses that I use day in and day out.

Using these programs I do weekly radio productions. I also make audio CDs and videos nearly as frequently.
