All right now that's Chris "Stinger" Stevens with some Blues and some Jazz. We heard "Blues In Gee" and before that, kicking us off tonight he played "Jazz Jack". Chris wrote both of these songs. He's from Illinois where Blues is a way of life and he has come to Jonesboro where he played at the bandshell with The Mudcats. We're hoping to have him back again this Spring.
Back in the Blues Alley days I recorded an album by Will Riley with Bix Smith on guitar. Will moved to Walnut Ridge where he is writing and recording at his own studio. Here's a couple of songs he wrote, "I'd Like To Start Over Losing You Again", and "Love's Got A Way Of Knowing".

I've played two shows this Christmas season and at both of them I played Bob Dylan's "She Belongs To Me" with the line "For Halloween get her a trumpet and for Christmas get her a drum." So I went looking for this song and I found Kate Gaffney.
Here's three songs from a concert she played on September 4, 2007 at Marlin Bar & Grill in Huntington Beach, California. We'll hear "Plea To Be", "She Belongs To Me", and "What Kind Of Man". Joining her on the last two songs is Nate LaPointe playing some tasty Blues guitar. You can find out more about Kate at kategaffney.com. And Nate's website is natelapointe.net.

Oh yeah, exceptional piano music played by Suzanne Michell of Little Rock, Arkansas. That was one she wrote dedicated to the great French composer, Eric Satie, called "Ode To Satie".
I recorded Suzanne playing her Steinway baby grand in her teaching studio in Little Rock. Here's her arrangement of two traditional songs, "Sie Big Sie" and "Anachie Gordon".

Most of us know Suzanne Michell as a vocalist and guitarist. She and Uncle Fred perform at the Craighead Forest Bandshell every year. As you can hear she is also an exceptional pianist improvising amazing arrangements. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to hear her play this Christmas pastiche. So you'll just have to listen for yourself. It's my great pleasure to bring you this wonderful music on KASU.
Here's a Merry Christmas from Suzanne, Fred, and Hairy Larry. Suzanne Michell playing everyone's favorite songs.

Welcome to Something Blue. I'm Hairy Larry and I've got the Blues, for you.
The_Delta_Jets-Chairfactory_Blues-Roll_With_It.wav
All right. Kicking us off we heard The Delta Jets sing their own song, "My Baby Blues". Then another Delta Jets song, "Roll With It".
You can find more about Something Blue at deltaboogie.com. We have information about the musicians, podcasts, and a liveblog discussion of the show in progress. That's deltaboogie.com. Log on and talk to me.
I met Pete Mitchell on the internet and now he's featured on Delta Boogie. He plays straight ahead Blues and Blues Rock with a definite Northeast Arkansas twang in spite of the fact that he's spent his life traveling all over England playing guitar and singing his songs. He's known as The Stratmaster and I'm sure you will love his clean guitar work.
Now here's Pete Mitchell, from the UK, playing two of his tunes from the "Cutting The Mustard" CD. We'll hear "Outside Looking In" and "Bee My Honey". Listen to these lyrics on "Outside Looking In". They are so personal and so universal at the same time.
Pete_Mitchell-Cutting_The_Mustard-Outside_Looking_In.wav
Pete_Mitchell-Cutting_The_Mustard-Bee_My_Honey.wav
And that's Pete Mitchell, The Stratmaster, doing his song, "Bee My Honey".
I'm Hairy Larry and you're listening to "Something Blue" on KASU, 91.9 FM.
Ok, I've got another rocking Blues from Pete Mitchell, "Play My Guitar".
Pete_Mitchell-Cutting_The_Mustard-Play_My_Guitar.wav
ODonel_Levy-Live_At_The_Sax-In_The_Mood_For_Love.wav
And that's Jazz and Blues legend, ODonel Levy, playing "In The Mood For Love" recorded live at The Sax Club in Singapore. OD is a great guitarist and frontman. He used to play with Dizzie Gillespie.
Now here's a sweet instrumental from The Delta Jets' "Chairfactory Blues" CD, an original called "Samantha". The Delta Jets are from Wisconsin and their CD is dedicated to the Mississippi musicians who traveled all the way to Wisconsin to record at the chair factory.
The_Delta_Jets-Chairfactory_Blues-Samantha.wav
The_Preachers-Yeah_Baby-24-7.wav
The_Preachers-Yeah_Baby-Alley_Cat.wav
All right, that's The Preachers Blues Band, a great Jump Blues band, doing "Alley Cat". Before that they did one they call "24-7". The Preachers feature Brian Batchley on harmonica and David Reo on guitar. They are from Ventura, California and they always bring their own swing to their shows.
You're listening to Something Blue on KASU, the home of the Blues in Northeast Arkansas. Whether it's Blues on Saturday night or the live Blue Monday shows you can count on KASU to bring you the best in the Blues.
Now for a special treat. Here's The Idle Americans from Wynne, Arkansas recorded live at Blues Fest, September 16, 2007. These are all originals on this live concert recording. You will hear "Noiz NE", "Zorro Prowlin'", "Whateverland Theme", and "Springtime Jam". I'll let Jeremy Burnett introduce the band.

Idle_Americans-Blues_Fest_Sep_16_2007-Whateverland_Theme.wav
Idle_Americans-Blues_Fest_Sep_16_2007-Springtime_Jam.wav
And that's The Idle Americans, featuring John Shepherd on guitar, recorded live at Blues Fest, September 16, 2007. What a great show they put on. John Shepherd is a Blues Fest regular, one of the finest Blues guitarists in the world, and he has been featured on Something Blue many times. I love presenting live recordings made by people you know.
I'm Hairy Larry and you're listening to "Something Blue" on KASU, 91.9 FM. I work hard to promote local and regional musicians on my website, Delta Boogie, and on Something Blue. If you're a musician and you'd like me to help you get your songs out there contact me by email, hairylarry@gmail.com. Or contact me through my website, deltaboogie.com. Subscribe to the Delta Boogie newsletter and I'll keep you up to date on the latest goings on musically.
Closing us out here's a couple more by The Preachers Blues Band. Listen up now, they are definitely preaching the Blues. First the title track from their CD, "Yeah Baby", and then we will hear "Bring Me A Woman". I hope you've enjoyed all the great Blues we played this week. I'll tell you right now, "That's what I'm talkin' about." Please stay in touch and let me know what you think. Until next time this is Hairy Larry, reminding you once again, Blues is the mainstream.

The_Preachers-Yeah_Baby-Bring_Me_A_Woman.wav
Ok, it's After Hours and I've got a couple of my own songs, some piano Jazz by The Geoff Lapp Trio, and a song by John Black. Kicking it we'll hear "Moonstruck Blues". Go to deltaboogie.com and click on Video to see the video of me singing this song. Then Geoff Lapp will play "Zack In The Box" followed by John Black singing "Betty Jean" from "The Soul Of John Black". Geoff Lapp will give us another one he wrote called "Yo Bro". And closing us out will be a childrens' song I wrote called "Shoes On Backwards". This is Something Blue After Hours. In the wee hours of the morning just kick back and enjoy.

Davis_Coen-podsafemusicnetwork-Some_Strange_Feeling.wav
Davis_Coen-podsafemusicnetwork-Precious_Time_Blues.wav
And that's three by Davis Coen, a Blue Monday performer from Memphis, Tennessee. We heard "Bad Luck Blues", "Some Strange Feeling", and "Precious Time Blues". Davis always puts on a great show.
Coming up next are two John Shepherd songs from his new CD, "So Low". John Shepherd is from Wynne, Arkansas. He's a Blues Fest regular and has been featured on Something Blue many times. Here he is now singing "Poor Boy" and "Lonesome Sundown".

The_Big_Wu-Harmony_Park_2009_05_23-Rhode_Island_Red+Children_Are_Crying.wav
-----
John_Shepherd-So_Low-Long_Black_Night.wav
And that's John Shepherd singing a Blues reminisce called "Long Black Night". I like that part where Albert King makes his guitar cry and sing. John recorded his new Cd, "So Low", in Jonesboro, Arkansas this year. He wrote all the songs and performs them without a band. Just his guitar and vocals. He is an extremely talented Blues guitarist in the tradition of Arkansas greats like Albert King, Son Seals, Roy Buchanan, and Fenton Robinson.
Just listen to his guitar work on this song, "You Just Don't Love Me".
John_Shepherd-So_Low-You_Just_Dont_Love_Me.wav
All right now, some great Blues from John Shepherd. John always puts on a great show at Blues Fest. His show with Idle Americans can be heard on the Live Music Archive and I'm working to get some more of his live shows up on the internet.
You're listening to KASU, the home of the Blues in Northeast Arkansas every Saturday night. And Something Blue is on the internet 24/7. You can hear podcasts of the shows whenever you want. Just go to sbblues.com. Follow the link to chat with me while the show's in progress.
Thanks to Delta Boogie Radio, the Live Music Archive, and the Podsafe Music Network for hosting songs for the podcasts.
Here's some great Blues from a famous Rock band, Little Feat. Recorded live in 1977 in Newcastle, we'll hear "Old Folks Boogie", "Dixie Chicken", and "Tripe Face Boogie". Listen to the lyrics on "Old Folks Boogie". I've got to admit I'm getting to where I can identify with that. Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, Blues is the mainstream.
Now here we are back in 1977 and it's Little Feat, live.

Log on to Delta Boogie on the internet for more about these musicians, Something Blue podcasts, videos, even a liveblog discussion of this show in progress right now. All this and more on deltaboogie.com.

Dallas_Hodge-Reelin-Divin_Duck.wav
And that's "Divin' Duck" by Dallas Hodge, Before that we heard "We'll Have A Good Time Tonight" by Steve Smith and The Sneakers.
Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis are giants in Country and Jazz but when they team up we get "Two Men With The Blues". Here they are now doing "Bright Lights, Big City"
Nelson_Marsalis-Two_Men_With_The_Blues-Bright_Lights_Big_City.wav
Part 2
Elvin_Bishop-The_Blues_Rolls_On-Struttin_My_Stuff.wav
Oh yeah, that's Blues legend, Elvin Bishop singing "Struttin' My Stuff". Bishop played with Paul Butterfield back in the sixties and since then when he's not fishing he's been playing the Blues.
Southern Star played Blues Rock and Country Blues in Northeast Arkansas in the eighties. They recorded a CD at Ardent in Memphis in 1989. Here's "Busted" written by Randy Gambill and Larry Jones.
Southern_Star-Southern_Star-Busted.wav
Southern_Star-Southern_Star-Slip_Away.wav
Southern_Star-Southern_Star-Lady_Of_The_Streets.wav
All right, two more from Southern Star, "Slip Away" and "Lady Of The Streets", both written by Randy Gambill. Randy, a Blues Fest regular, plays lead guitar on the CD.
You're listening to Something Blue on KASU, home of the Blues in Northeast Arkansas every Saturday night.
Now for some more Dallas Hodge from his CD "Reelin". He wrote most of the songs on the CD. Here's "In The Wind", "Up The Country", and "Reelin".
Dallas_Hodge-Reelin-In_The_Wind.wav
Dallas_Hodge-Reelin-Up_The_Country.wav
Dallas_Hodge-Reelin-Reelin.wav
And that's the title track of the new Dallas Hodge CD, "Reelin". Dallas has played with many great musicians like Steve Marriott, Johnny Winters, Delbert McClinton, and Bonnie Raitt. He is also the front man for Canned Heat. It's great to hear him putting out his own stuff.
Closing us out tonight here's another original by Greenleaf, one they call "Lowdown". The whole Greenleaf CD is great. It takes me back to psychedelic Blues Rock in the sixties.
Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, Blues is the mainstream.
Greenleaf-Greenleaf-Lowdown.wav
After Hours

It's the Tony Furtado Band recorded live on March 30, 2002, at Trilogy Wine Bar in Boulder, Colorado. We heard "Rising Fog".
We're playing live recordings from the Live Music Archive tonight on Something Blue. KASU features the Blues every Saturday night but if you need some Blues in the middle of the week log onto archive.org on the internet for the rest of this show and many, many others.
Next up it's "St. John's Fire" and "False Hearted Lovers".
Tony_Furtado_Band-Trilogy_2002_03_30-St_Johns_Fire.wav
Tony_Furtado_Band-Trilogy_2002_03_30-False_Hearted_Lovers_Blues.wav
All right, Tony Furtado is getting it, live. KASU has Blue Mondays and Bluegrass Mondays. The Tony Furtado Band blends Blues and Bluegrass into a unique sound. Here's one more they call "The Ghost Of Blind Willie Johnson".
Tony_Furtado_Band-Trilogy_2002_03_30-The_Ghost_Of_Blind_Willie_Johnson.wav
We have a first tonight in After Hours. I met triv33 on the liveblog discussion of last weeks show and she turned me on to her husband's band, Cleetus, with her sister and her husband singing. It's great stuff and we're featuring four of their songs tonight. "Vengeance", "Risky Business", "Caught Up", and "All My Fault". All originals.
So without the liveblog discussion last week I would have never heard of them. And here they are in After Hours this week.
Also I noticed that the "Blues For Peace" CD by my family band, "Hairy Larry and The Flying Hungarians" never made it onto Delta Boogie Radio. A total oversight on my part. Probably because I never get all Caught Up.
From that CD we'll play "Blues For Peace", "Sneakin Round", "blue nines", "Ride Me To Heaven", and "Guitar Blues". "Blues For Peace" goes out to my YouTube friend, tweek72, and "Guitar Blues" goes out to the guitarist in Cleetus. I'm sure he'll relate.
It's After Hours on Something Blue so let's kick back and enjoy. That's what I'm going to do. Stay in touch.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Billy Jones "You Upset My Soul". Billy's new CD "My Hometown" is just great. Paves new ground. Before that we heard another Billy Jones song, the soulful "Never Let You Go". And in between there was Mark Sallings from Wynne, Arkansas blowing his Eb harp on the "TWBb Blues".
You're listening to "Something Blue" on KASU.
Ok, Mike Dollins is gonna Jazz jam us with "The Jam". Love the sax. And then "Stinger" Stevens is gonna get all sensual and down low with his own Jazz called, "Samba Para Mary".

Closing the show we're featuring Carl Holden with one he wrote called, "By Carl Holden". Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, Blues is the mainstream.
Carl Holden-July 28 2005-By Carl Holden.wav
Welcome to Something Blue After Hours, the internet only extension of the Something Blue podcast where I can get more personal and play a wider variety of music than I do on the air.
I'm about to get as personal as it gets. My friend, Mark Sallings, who you just heard, was killed in an auto accident on the way to a gig. Mark was a great performer and a fantastic songwriter.
http://deltaboogie.com/marksallings
Then my friend, Bix Smith died in his home. Bix was an outstanding Jazz guitarist and used to be a Blues Alley regular. He was also an accomplished artist and we hosted his paintings at the Blues Alley Gallery.
http://deltaboogie.com/deltamusicians/smithb/
The hardest thing about being a Bluesman is knowing that you'll never be able to jam with a good friend again. At least we can still play their music. So I'm starting off with Mark Sallings "Mighty Oaks" and "Unprotected Contact With The Blues" and then with Bix Smith playing guitar on Will Riley's CD I'll play "Rockabilly Shoes" and "A Whole Lot Of Love In His Eyes".
I cowrote the "Rockabilly Shoes" lyrics and I'm singing back to Will on the second verse. Now that I'm back in school I've been writing a lot of songs in a lot of genres. I'll close the After Hours segment with three of my recent recordings, "Younger Days", "Shoes On Backwards", and "Can You Really?". I hope you enjoy them.

We're going back now to one of my lifelong favorite bluesmen, Buddy Guy. Buddy Guy is from Lousiana but he is associated with the Chicago Blues because of all his session work on Chess Records. He still has a presence in Chicago with his famous Blues Club, Buddy Guy's Legends. They host Blues Jams right in the loop. No telling who you'll hear playing there. Here he is now singing "Are You Losing Your Mind?".

Bob_Margolin-Up_And_In-She_And_The_Devil.wav
Oh yeah, that's Steady Rollin Bob Margolin singing "She And The Devil". Bob Margolin played with Muddy Waters during the Blues Revival of the sixties and he's been steady rollin ever since.
I met Nitro on the internet and they have a good reverbnation site. Nitro plays guitar and drums and they feature Ruthie on vocals. Reverbnation is a great place to find cool indie music. Go to reverbnation.com and search on Nitro Mean Streak Blues, Hairy Larry, or your other favorites. If you're promoting your music on the internet they have a great player widget and free mail list software. Here's Mean Streak Blues now and they're "Stuck In New York".

Nitro_Mean_Streak_Blues-ReverbNation-Pet_The_Kitty.wav
And that's some more from Nitro, "Monkey On My Back" and "Pet The Kitty". I love it when someone puts some humor in their Blues.
We're cooking on KASU, closing out Something Blue with three hot songs from Lil Ed and The Blues Imperials. Lil Ed and The Blues Imperials are another great Chicago Blues Band. On the Alligator site they're compared to Hound Dog Taylor and The House Rockers, top praise from Alligator the company that brought you Hound Dog Taylor. You can also visit with the Ed Heads at liledandthebluesimperials.com where they've got a great photo gallery. We'll hear them play "Hold That Train", "Chicken Gravy And Biscuits", and "Compact Man".

For more on Texas Jake Lee, Mike Dollins, Jimmy Lloyd Rea, and David Reo log on to deltaboogie.com on the internet. Now for some more from Texas Jake Lee. He's got a message here about how if we all sing the Blues maybe we can all get along.
Texas_Jake_Lee-Blues_Following_Me-If_We_All_Sing_The_Blues.wav
That was Texas Jake Lee singing the truth in a song he calls "If We All Sing The Blues". Jake Lee is the King of Slide. You can find him on MySpace, at Live Blues World, and at his website, jakeleeblues.com. He's a great songwriter and an outstanding musician.
I'm Hairy Larry and you're listening to Something Blue on KASU, the home of the Blues in Northeast Arkansas. We're gonna stay with Texas Jake Lee here. From the Blues Following Me album, Jake Lee "Can't Stand It.
Texas_Jake_Lee-Blues_Following_Me-Cant_Stand_It.wav
David_Reo-Greatest_Hits_Volume_II-Shoot_First.wav
All right, that's David Reo singing "Shoot First", a rocking Blues from his Greatest Hits, Volume II. David Reo is from Ventura, California and we have also featured him playing with his band, The Preachers. He's got your hot guitar and he knows how to mellow down easy. Now, closing the show, David Reo's gonna get all soulful with this great Blues song he wrote called "Not Fooling Around".
David_Reo-Greatest_Hits_Volume_II-Not_Fooling_Around.wav
We are now entering the internet only after hours portion of the show. George and I played a great set last night at Caffe Buono. We had a blast and it shines through. We kicked with three Dylan songs, "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues", "Memphis Blues Again", and "Visions Of Johanna". Then I took off my jester's hat and we did "Hesitation Blues" and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out". George sang "Route 66" and I closed the show with two of my own songs, "Can You Really?" and "Younger Days". Caffe Buono is a great venue and we always have a good time when we play there. So, just as timely as can be, here's Hairy Larry and George recorded on April 24, 2009, live at Caffe Buono.
