The Hills Are Alive...

Yonder Mountain String Band's HARVEST FEST 2014 to be fantastic year - Exciting line-up to bring Mulberry Mountain to life October 16 - 18

---Story: Rebecca Venkauskas ---Photos: Meredith Mashburn Mulberry Mountain Harvest Music Festival melds the traditional ideals of Harvest celebrations around the world with the modern ideals of festival culture. For three days each Fall, we forge a family full of pickers, pluckers, lovers and campers. And though the time that we spend together may be temporary, the friendships and the memories that are created on Mulberry Mountain are forever. Nestled deep inside the heart of the Ozark Mountains there is a special place known simply as Mulberry Mountain. And despite a storied history, something decidedly different happened on The Mountain in the Fall of 2006. That year, there was a small, but inarguably magical gathering that allowed Mulberry Mountain to begin building a culture synonymous with the celebration of art, community and music. Those humble beginnings birthed an annual gathering that is now known as Mulberry Mountain Harvest Music Festival. Each Fall, the vibrant green foliage of the Ozark National Forest gives way to brilliant shades of yellow, orange and red. The smell of campfire and the sound of expertly plucked strings combine with Mother Nature’s visually stunning surroundings to create an event that must be experienced in order to be fully appreciated. It’s known simply as Harvest to the endearing community who have found their extended family inside of this grassroots gathering. The Mulberry Mountain Harvest Music Festival is an annual event featuring exciting entertainment from some of the nation’s top performers. Join us for an amazing weekend filled with music, camping, and celebration on the Mountain! Bluegrass is a music steeped in tradition, but over the past decade and a half much of it spent on the road. Yonder Mountain String Band has spearheaded a renegade movement to rewrite the definition of the genre. Alongside other neobluegrass friends such as Leftover Salmon, Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, The Travelin’ McCourys, and Railroad Earth, YMSB has thoroughly revitalized and contemporized bluegrass and introduced it to many thousands of new fans. Rolling Stone said that YMSB “liberates bluegrass and hot-shit riffing and blue-sky harmonies from its hidebound formalism,” while Paste Magazine wrote, “The Yonder Mountain boys have found a formula that works: take rootsy bluegrass influences, add in some rock ‘n’ roll, and seek out an adventurous audience. Yonder Mountain String Band is comprised of Adam Aijala (guitar, vocals), Dave Johnston (banjo, vocals) and Ben Kaufmann (bass, vocals). With the band having one of the strongest touring bases in the industry, fans and critics alike have been drawn to both their live shows and singular studio albums. Reporting from the All Good Music Festival (2009), journalist Jarrett Bellini from CNN Showbiz Tonight notes, “The trophy for best musical set goes to Yonder Mountain String Band who, as the sun began to set, left it all on the stage for an hour and a half. The pickers from Colorado had the audience dancing and shaking, kicking up a joyful storm of dust into the cool summer sky.” The rest of the line-up is equally impressive. This years’ line up includes Trampled By Turtles, Railroad Earth, The JayHawks, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, The Jerry Douglas Band, Cas Haley, Samantha Fish and a whole lot more.

If You Wanna Get To Heaven...

...Come to the 67th Annual Original Ozark Folk Fest in Eureka Springs October 7 - 11

---Charles Ragsdell Come to Eureka Springs for the 67th Annual Original Ozark Folk Festival on October 7 through 11! Headlining America’s longest running annual folk festival will be the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, along with their Cowtown Ballroom contemporaries Danny Cox and Brewer & Shipley. The festival also features the music, dance, arts, crafts and people of the Ozarks. Back again are all the favorites like the Queen’s Contest featuring the HedgeHoppers, the Barefoot Ball with music by the Cindy Woolf Band, arts & crafts exhibitions and the annual Singer/Songwriter contest. There will also be free music in Basin Spring Park featuring Clancey Ferguson, The Clark Family Trio featuring Bill Nesbitt, Lyal Strickland & The Moonlight Farmers and Jeremiah Jones, the winner of last year’s Singer/Songwriter contest. We’ll also host a contra folk dance featuring the NWA Contra Dancers with calling by Harold Watson and music by The Old 78s. While the Ozark Mountain Daredevils are best known for their hits “If You Want To Get To Heaven” and “Jackie Blue”, their music also includes great Ozark folk music along with some gospel, country and even a bit of blues. From their humble beginnings at the New Bijou Theater in Springﬁeld, Missouri, the Daredevils have played around the world with acts like The Beach Boy, Poco, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac and The Doobie Brothers. Opening for the Daredevils are special guests Brewer &

themes of personal freedom and traditional songs of love still resonate with long time fans while continuing to draw new ones. When they recorded “One Toke Over The Line,” Brewer & Shipley actually thought the record company would bury it and never release the song. Instead, it became an instant hit. It was an even bigger shock when they learned it had covered by a couple on the Lawrence Welk Show! The duo has gone on to release a dozen album over the years, including the hits “Tarkio Road” and “Shake Off The Demon,” and continue to perform around the world. They were one of this year’s recipients of the Folk Alliance’s “Spirit of Folk” Award. Danny Cox is the anchor that ties the Daredevils and Brewer & Shipley together. As partner in Good Karma Productions and the Cowtown Ballroom, Danny helped manage and promote Brewer & Shipley and the Daredevils on their rise to stardom. A star in his own right, Danny is a singer, guitarist, songwriter, playwright and actor. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Danny grew up singing in the church choir with Rudolph Isley of the Isley Brothers. Moving to Kansas City in 1967, Danny was soon an integral part of the diverse KC music scene. He quickly found a “home” at The Vanguard Coffeehouse, literally living across the street from it. From the meager Vanguard stage, Danny’s amazing vocals and meaningful lyrics helped draw in folk acts from around the world, many who came just for a chance to

Shipley and Danny Cox. All three magniﬁcent acts have roots in the legendary Vanguard Coffee House and the Cowtown Ballroom in Kansas City. The Cowtown Ballroom was considered by many to be “The Fillmore Midwest.” Like the fabled Fillmore venues in San Francisco and New York, the Cowtown Ballroom featured cutting edge acts like Frank Zappa, Electric Light Orchestra, Steve Miller, Alice Cooper, Steely Dan, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Poco, Hot Tuna and many more. The Daredevils lineup includes John Dillon on vocals, guitars, mandolin, ﬁddle, harmonica,

perform with Danny. A virtual who’s who of the folk world played there, establishing Kansas City’s folk scene as one of the best in the world. As the Vanguard grew too small for the crowds, Good Karma expanded into a larger venue, creating the Cowtown Ballroom. They were instrumental in bringing the vast majority of major music acts to Kansas City in the early 1970s. Outgrowing the Ballroom, Good Karma expanded into arena and coliseum shows, producing some of the Midwest’s largest concerts, featuring acts like Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones. Danny eventually decided to get back to his folk roots, and started writing music and plays, many for The Kansas City Children’s Theater, where his lyrics and words often teach about civil rights. He also has established himself as a major jingle writer, producing music for commercials. His life and music have been subjects of documentaries, and in recognition of his lifetime of support to folk music and musicians, Danny was one of this year’s recipients of the Folk

mouthharp, autoharp, dulcimer, percussion, and keyboards . Mike ‘Supe’ Granda joins in with vocals, bass, guitar, mandolin and percussion. Steve Cash covers vocals, harmonica, percussion and keyboards, and Bill Jones plays woodwinds and horns. Ruell Chappell sings and plays keyboards, and Ron Gremp plays drums and percussion. Dave Painter joins on vocals and guitars, Kelly Brown plays keyboards, and Nick Sibley plays guitar, mandolin and sings backing vocals. Michael Brewer & Tom Shipley are truly two who work as one. Still as passionate as ever, they continue to blend guitars and voices and perform for audiences 40 years after their trademark vocal harmonies and intertwined acoustic guitars carved a unique niche in America’s soundboard. Their melodic music and underlying lyrical

Alliance’s “Spirit of Folk” Award. Performing for the annual Barefoot Ball with be The Cindy Woolf Band. Hailing from Batesville, Arkansas, Cindy Woolf has been a resident of the Ozarks since 1998, where she has become well-known for a singular singing voice and her enchanting performances of her original songs. Her music has taken her on tour across the United States. Dirty Linen said of Woolf upon the release of her ﬁrst album, "Instantly timeless spell-binding, beautiful, heartfelt, entrancing." Mark Bilyeu, well known for his years as part of the legendary Big Smith, and Cindy Woolf have been playing together for the better part of ten years, performing on the Americana/Folk and singer-songwriter circuit. They are a true duo, both in music and in life, as they married in June 2013, and often tour as a folk duo. But for the Barefoot ball, Cindy and Mark are bringing their full band to Eureka Springs, and those familiar with Big Smith will ﬁnd several recognizable faces in the band. You can rest assured that folks will be kicking off their shoes and dancing the night away to one of the best folk bands in the nation. Free music in Basin Spring Park includes Clancey

Ferguson, The Clark Family Trio featuring Bill Nesbitt, Lyle Strickland & The Moonlight Farmers and Jeremiah Jones, the winner of last year’s Singer/Songwriter contest. Clancey Ferguson, a 16 year old from Mountain View, Arkansas is known as the Princess of Bluegrass. Her fiddle playing has earned her countless awards, including Arkansas State Junior Fiddle Champion. The Clark Family Trio featuring Bill Nesbitt is from Searcy, Arkansas. Eleven-year-old Sally Ann Clark and her big sister, 16-year-old Sophie, have literally grown up singing with their Mom, Cindy (who also plays upright bass for the group). All three ladies sing lead at different times, and all three sing different harmony parts, according to the need of the moment. In the summer of 2012, they teamed up with guitarist Bill Nesbitt, who is equally adept at fingerpicking and flatpicking the guitar. Lyal Strickland & The Moonlight Farmers are from Buffalo, Missouri, where Lyal farms and raises grain fed beef. Writing about too much rain and not enough of it, economic upturns and downturns and the intricacies of small town culture, Lyal’s songs come straight from the heart with a heavy dose of reality. Jeremiah Jones won last year’s Singer/Songwriter Contest. Jeremiah performs with Riverbend, a popular Ozarks folk band from Carthage, Missouri. But the hands down crowd favorite every year are The Hedgehoppers, Eureka Springs’ third grade class, all gussied up in Ozark folk attire ready to sing and dance their way into your hearts at the Folk Festival’s Queen’s Contest. Check out www.youtube.com/watch for a video of last year’s performance. Tickets are on sale at TheAuditorium.org. For a complete schedule of events and more info about the 67th Annual Original Ozark Folk Festival, please visit OzarkFolkFestival.com. Singer/Songwriter Contest Winterwood Studios is once again offering studio time to the winner of the Ozark Folk Festival Singer/Songwriter contest. Located on Beaver Lake, Winterwood is a world-class recording studio located on 85 acres owned by Eric Schabacker. With guest lodging for up to eight and its magnificent location, it is not hard to understand why so many artists have come to Winterwood to record, especially when you learn Eric’s team has helped produce over 100 gold and platinum albums. Their client list includes everyone from Jimmy Page to James Brown to Michael Jackson to regional artists like Kory Montgomery and The Ariels. For more info, visit WinterwoodStudios.com.

Bikes, Blues & BBQ 2014

Ozarks to be filled with nikers & bike lovers of all shapes and sizes for 15th Annual Bike Rally ---Joe Giles Time flies when you are having fun, and boy, we’re having fun in Northwest Arkansas! It was just a few years ago when Bikes Blues and BBQ didn’t even have a name; it was just a poker run with a BBQ grill, a blues band, and a handful of bikes at a Dickson Street Mexican restaurant (Jose’s, of course). Then it became America’s fastest growing rally, and then the world’s largest charity rally, and now suddenly, it’s been 15 years. What a ride, in every possible way. So, let’s celebrate that milestone the only way we know how – with the biggest party in this part of the country. As always, we’ll have free live music every day and night, the Stokes Air Bike Show, The BBB Car Show, stunt teams, The Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys “Miss BBB Contest” and “Blues Train”, the Arkansas State KCBS State BBQ Championship, Hambone Express Pig Races, the BBB Karaoke Contest, factory demo rides, hundreds of vendors, and so much more. The fact is, you’ll run out of time before you run out of things to do. But the real attraction of the rally is the multitude of great bike roads in the Ozarks region. No matter which direction you travel, you’ll find winding blue highways through spectacular scenery. Rivers, lakes, bluffs, picturesque towns, and we don’t have much in the way of straight roads. Everywhere you go, you’ll meet the friendliest people in the world, eat the best food in the world, love the rides, and have one of the best times of your life. So, mark the dates, Sept. 24-27, make your plans, and come join us for the best BBB ever! From the very beginning, the founders of Bikes, Blues & BBQ realized that although the three festival components of the rally — bikes, blues and barbeque — would be enough to put on a great event, so much more was possible. They wanted to hold Bikes, Blues & BBQ to a higher standard and give it a greater purpose. With that in mind they designated Bikes, Blues & BBQ as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting local charities with funding raised during the rally. The Jack Daniels Charity VIP Ride A special attraction for the Bikes Blues and BBQ 15th Anniversary Rally, The Jack Daniels Charity VIP ride is sure to become the Fayetteville equivalent of the Sturgis Legends Ride. Taking place on Thursday, September 25, the limited number of ride participants receives an official VIP pass for Thursday of the rally, a bottle of Jack Daniels Single Barrel Whiskey with 15th Anniversary Commemorative Badge, and a unique guided ride complete with catered meal. The ride finale is a stop at a Mermaids Restaurant for a sampling of the Jack Daniels family of products and Chef Todd’s remarkable culinary creations. And the VIP pass will provide access to the Budweiser Sponsors VIP area and all of its amenities for Thursday night. All this for only $100 per rider and $50 per passenger. This is a special event that you won’t want to miss. It’s going to become a tradition and you’ll be able to say you were there for the first one! Passes may be purchased in advance by contacting Bikes, Blues, and BBQ – 479.527.9993 The Cherokee Casino VIP Ride and Concert On Friday, Sept. 26, Cherokee Casino in West Siloam Springs will be sponsoring the Casino VIP Ride and Concert, a guided ride through the beautiful roads of northwest Arkansas and northeast Oklahoma, culminating in a stop at Cherokee Casino where participants will be invited to join the evening’s band, the fabulous Kentucky Headhunters in the Qualla Ballroom for a “Meet and Greet” with food, beverages, and a cash bar. Meet the band, take photos, and generally hang out with one of the best country music acts on the road today. The pass also entitles the bearer to a Cherokee Casino Bikes Blues and BBQ T-shirt, as well as $10 in complimentary rewards play and admission to the BBB Budweiser Sponsors/ VIP area in the Bikes Blues and BBQ Beer Garden on Saturday. In addition, Cherokee Casino VIP Riders receive $40 worth of BBB beer tokens for use in the BBB Beer Garden. (And, we might add that Cherokee Casino, West Siloam Springs, is one of the finest hotels in the area. Perhaps that’s where you should stay during the rally, and for your returns to NE OK and NWA. We’re just sayin’.) These passes ($100 per rider and $50 per passenger) for this unique experience are limited, so order yours now at 479.527.9993! See you at the show. The Budweiser Sponsors/VIP Area Enjoy the Bikes Blues and BBQ Beer Garden in the Budweiser Sponsors/VIP area. The best view in the entire rally is atop the Budweiser Bar on the sky platform. The VIP area has full bar service, seating, and is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the music on the Main Stage, or just to escape the crowds. Budweiser Sponsors/VIP area passes are just $100 and are good for every day of the rally. In addition to admission to the Sponsors/VIP area, each pass is good for 16 complimentary drinks per day.

As mentioned in our general notes, the Central Arkansas music community was saddened recently with the death of long-time music supporter and gad-about-town Larry ‘Goose’ Garrison. Larry was one of the regional musician’s very best friends and supporters. Ultimately, some years ago he developed kidney cancer and had one of his kidneys removed. He’s been rolling along fine since, but I just heard that he had started doing dialysis a couple months back. He died in his sleep the other day, and we are all still in shock. In addition to the White Water Tavern, Larry was the founder (and creator) of Slick Willy’s, Buster’s and other venues through the years. When my brain blew up 11 years ago, he and Chris King spearheaded the enormous PeterPalooza fundraiser concert to help defray the extreme medical bills I incurred (after Blue Cross denied my health policy since I hadn’t had it long enough to be effective). This was typical of Larry, and through the years I’ve seen him do this sort of thing time and time again. Whenever someone needed a hand he was there for them. To say he was a good guy would be a terrific understatement. He was a great guy and helped musicians especially with gigs, food, gas, money…and especially his affable and pleasant attitude towards life. His sense of humor was delightful and he was always good for a laugh or ten… We’ll be preparing a memorial tribute to him in the very near future, but there simply was not time prior to presstime. Keep an eye on nightflying.com for updates and details… The Markham Street Grill was the scene of a fantastic charitable event with our Come Together tornado relief concert. Jason Greenlaw & The Groove, Nick Devlin and Brian Nahlen, The White Collar Criminals, Jason Hale and The Woodpeckers generously donated their musical talents to help bring in a very good crowd. All in all we raised nearly $700 that went toward helping some tornado victims to get back on their feet, and we had the time of our life doing it, too. On behalf of the poor folks caught in the devastating storms in Mayflower and Vilonia last May, we thank you. Set to appear in the next month or so are The White Collar Criminals, Brown Soul Shoes, Brian Nahlen, Andy Tanas, Steve Bates, Charlotte Taylor & Gypsy Rain, Jason Lee Hale and a lot more. Markham Street Grill is open every day, and the sports bar serves very fine food. And every Wednesday it’s “Pickers Night” featuring Mickey Balinger as host. For bookings send an email to TJ at ebrewcrew@yahoo. com. For general info call (501)224-2010……. There’s an all-new music venue in Little Rock that will soon be making waves. Another Round just opened a few weeks back and it’s a very nice club run by true music freaks like us. Set in the former Villa, they have built a huge stage (big enough for an orchestra!), and have started doing live music most nights of the week. I caught up with the Matt Treaday jazz trio the other night and was blown away. The band plays every Friday at the club and in addition to Matt on guitar, features Slabeck Bolubah on drums and Brad Birges on bass. (On this night jazz percussionist Dave Rogers was handling the drums…) The food is extraordinarily good, too. (Try the Reuben eggrolls! I suspect you’ll want to take an extra order home with you as I did…they didn’t quite make it to the house) On the music menu in the coming weeks, look for the likes of Josh Green, Alex Summerlin, Rodney Block, the Lucious Spiller Band, Hi-Balls, Jim Mills & The Hellbenders, Justin Morgan, Trey Johnson and on the 24th of October, Earl & Them (The Cate Brother Band). See our Sound pages for all the dates and details. Another Round is open every day, has numerous hugescreen tvs for sporting action, has a full bar, an outdoor smoking patio and only charges a cover charge when they have a touring-sized band coming through. For bookings call (501)313-2612… Coming up at Dugan’s are The Balloono Brothers, The Beckham Brothers Band, Midas Coven, Josh Green, Broken

Pretty, Shannon Boshears, The White Collar Criminals, The Karla Case Band, Raj Arnold, Big John Miller, Brian Nahlen, Deltatones and more. The food here is, quite frankly, superb and the service is exceptional, and there’s never a cover charge. In addition, on October 10th will be the 4th Annual October Street Fest, on October 16 will be the 103 The Buzz Block Party, and on the 31st, there will be a Halloween Block party. Don Dugan’s newest venture is Stratton’s Market, where neighborhood folks can buy many of the necessities of life: smokes, sandwiches, candy, delicious desserts, and basics such as soft drinks, cookies, and all sorts of important munchies. Not to mention that it is a full-service liquor store as well. Dugan s is located at 403 E. 3rd. For bookings call Don between 2 and 4 p.m. weekdays.

For bookings contact Chris King at (501)343-8659.…… Stickyz Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicken Shack, just down the street, is Chris and Suzon’s ﬁrst LR baby and still is one of the funnest nightclubs in my world.

We had a grand time at our Come Together concert recently at Webby Ds. Happening on a Sunday evening there really wasn’t much of a crowd cruising Garrison Avenue, but with the killer line-up we still managed to bring in several hundred bucks in aid for the tornado victims in Mayﬂower and Vilonia, and believe me, those folks really welcomed the relief. Moonshine Maﬁa opened the show with a tremendous set. This Hot Springs band has taken the Fort by storm (no pun intended…well, maybe a little one) and is quite popular in Fort Smith. In fact, the band is so well received that it would not surprise me if they up and moved there some day. (It’s a shame the band had to get back on the road just after their set, given what happened later in the evening.) Then the incredible talents of Jeff Kearney – he of the 1 Oz. Jig – reigned over the stage for an hour or so. Jeff is an excellent player and merely working solo on this evening showed exactly why he has made a career of music making. I predict that Jeff will go very far. He’s a natural entertainer, and quite engaging, whether with his band backing him or alone on that stage. Next up was Tom Ware with his power trio of hisself, son Anthony and Mr. Dale Fraze. Anyone who has experienced this band will attest they make more music as a 3-piece than many bands twice their size can even dream of doing. And rounding things out was Tyrannosaurus Chicken, who had played the night before in Kansas City, but loaded out and drove the distance to donate their talents to this worthy cause. As zonked as they were from the road, they turned in an immaculate set and kept the energy of the room hot. And then the real fun began. With such an amazing array of players in the room it wasn’t long before everybody was on stage for one of the most exciting jam sessions I have ever seen. Tom and Bob are long time friends and just seem to inspire each other. They were trading licks at breakneck speed, with Rachel Ammons and Anthony Ware and Dale Fraze essentially were the support band(!) After a few tunes Jeff Kearney couldn’t help himself, grabbed his guitar and jumped up there with them and this went on for the rest of the night. Even the employees of the club were all dancing about and revelling in the totally unrehearsed powerful set, and that night club was the musical center of the universe for a few hours. The patrons there were the lucky ones, for this was an improvised set of musical

Being primarily a restaurant, Landry’s remains as one of the top music venues in the Fort. Set to appear in the next several weeks are Tom Ware (he gets around), Eric Matthews, The Candy Lee Band, Sultans of Schwing, Grant Pierson, Brian Ramsay, Emi Sunshine, Patrice Pike, RJ Mischo & His Red Hot Blues Band, some guy named robb and Carter Sampson. And that’s just what’s booked here at presstime. Of course, the food at Landry’s is what it’s all about anyway and as I’ve said many times, they serve up better New Orleans fare than you can even ﬁnd in the Crescent City. There’s no cover charge, but an evening spent at Landry’s is greatly enriching and you’ll deﬁnitely feel like tipping the band well on your way out. To reach R. Landry’s by phone, call (479)7832505…….

As the cooler weather sets in the shows at the Rib Room will be winding down. It’s been a surprising Summer at Neumeier’s, especially since all year long Bill has been telling folks he wouldn’t do many shows this year. Thing is, Bill’s as much of a music freak as we are, and with that superb concert room I guess he just couldn’t help himself.

Coming up on October 3rd is the Tulsa Music Showcase, featuring Beau Roberson, Jesse Aycock, Jacob Tovar and Dustin Pittsley. The next night will be the annual IBC Competition to see who from the area will be competing at that prestigious blues event in Memphis in January. And the fact that Mr. Roger Koensigsedar, is back at the board doing sound just makes the nut. A truly professional concert sound engineer, he has that rare ability to make everyone sound very ﬁne. Great Summer Bill. Do me a favor and try not to do anything again next year…that attitude obviously pays off… For bookings at the Rib Room call Bill at (479)494RIBS (7427)……. ---PR

Americana Festival & Conference The Clearest Voice of American Roots Music

---Dori Colston It’s almost that time again…Americana Festival and Conference time that is. I’ve been patiently waiting, scheming a little, and wondering just what how much will transpire this year at AMA in Nashville, TN this year. If you didn’t catch my article on Americana last year, I’ll give you a brief summary: It was INCREDIBLE! I haven’t been this stoked about a Festival and Conference in well, ever. Seriously folks. I’m not talking about pure festivals here, I’m talking about conferences and festivals. For those that haven’t read my articles in the past, I’ve been to SXSW and Folk Alliance several times. I give them both high marks for educational panels, my ability to network with like minded people, and great live showcases(so much more so at Folk Alliance). Thing is, there’s so much more that AMA Fest and Conference offers, especially for those in the Americana Music Industry. In order to get why I prefer AMA, let’s review the mission statements of each organization. The Americana Music Association’s mission states that it “is a professional trade organization whose mission is to advocate for the authentic voice of American Roots Music (country, roots, blues, rock, folk, jazz, soul, and any other American style genre along with any of it’s versions and deviations) around the world” by working closely with “those in our industry, whether artists, labels, radio stations, retailers, print media, festivals, agents, publishers, etc. to help organize and build the infrastructure necessary for our genre to achieve success both creatively and financially.” www.http://americanamusic. org/who-we-are. Folk Alliance International (FAI) has a similar mission which is, “to nurture, engage and empower the international folk music community - traditional and contemporary, amateur and professional - through education, advocacy and performance.” SXSW’s mission was once known as “a gahering of the best bands in several regions of the country with the intention of getting record label attention” - Peter Read, Publisher of Nightflying Magazine (One of the founders and sponsors of SXSW). All of these conferences have the goal of educating, networking, and showcasing those in the music industry, that’s for certain… To be frank, not all organizations live up to their mission statements’ hype. Not in Americana’s case. AMA has a healthy habit of “walking-the-walk” and “talking-the-talk.” My first day at AMA last year was like attending my first day of a new school year. I only knew a few people out of the nearly couple of thousand attending. The panelists, board members, volunteers, and conference members welcomed me and all others with open arms and open conversations….I seem to recall this being lacking at SXSW. Maybe it’s just the massive size and nature of SXSW seeing as it has grown to a point where marketing “products” and “labels” have become more important than that of the growth of young acts…at least in my opinion…and apparently several others. Thank goodness for the intimacy and smallness of Folk Alliance, for it small size is what make’s it so alluring. That, and FAI’s panels and small intimate showcases, and thus present real networking capabilities, have made and maintained it as an incredible Conference and Festival. It’s partially that small intimate nature that attracts me to AMA Conference and Festival. That, and the fact that the conference encompasses all of Americana Music is especially enticing to me as a booking agent and manager. Notably, AMA’s panels span even more topics than the SXSW and FAI conferences while managing to gear itself towards all facets of the business at any level that one might be at. Last year, topics included publishing rights, licensing, social media, promotion, booking, and much more. Furthermore, the panelists were very knowledgeable and very helpful. I truly felt at a loss not having clones of myself to go to different panels and shows because of so many great things going on. Of course, AMA’s showcases were out of this world! That’s one thing that never lacks at any conference I go to. Rather, the issue of traveling to get to the showcases is more of the issue. At SXSW the venue that contain the showcases span miles and therefore getting to individual showcases are often a matter of careful logistics, that is if it’s even possible to get to a show. Folk Alliance manages to contain all of it’s showcases in one hotel in hotel rooms and conference rooms. This leads to absolutely stunning, intimate, and unforgettable shows. AMA’s selection Nashville’s top notch venues like 3rd and Lindsley, Mercury Lounge, The Basement, and The Station Inn are also divine, memory making hosts for their upcoming and established acts showcased. This year at AMA Fest and Conference is poised to be even better. It’s hard to imagine this considering my experience last year at the panels, with all of the new friends and colleagues I made, and monster nights I spent watching bands like John Fullbright and The Ben Miller Band, but indeed it will be even better. Just seeing this year’s lineup with stunning artists including regionally based and favorite acts: Amos Lee, Amy Ray, Anne McCue, Austin Lucas, Avett Brothers, Ben Miller Band, Billly Joe Shaver, Elizabeth Cook, Gregory Alan Isakov, Hayes Carll, Jason Eady, Joe Pug, Joe Purdy, John Moreland, Josh Ritter, Leftover Salmon featuring Bill Payne of Little Feat, Marty Stuart, Matt the Electrician, Mike Farris, Parker Millsap, Paul Thorn, Robbie Fulks, Rodney Crowell, Ruthie Foster, Ry Cooder, Shinyribs, Sons of Bill, Steep Canyon Rangers, The Hot Nut Riveters, The Stray Birds, Todd Snider, Tony Joe White, Whiskey Shivers, and Will Kimbrough has gotten me in a frenzy to figure out how to attend as many shows as possible. Most shows are taking place at the same favorite local venues and several performances will even be held at the home base of the convention, The Hutton Hotel and Palmer Plaza in Downtown Nashville, TN. You’ll find the most serious convention goers hanging out here. It’s where all of the panels are held daily from early in the morning until 5pm. Now, if you are really serious about networking, learning, and furthering your business (being a musician is serious business!) then I urge you to consider attending The Americana Music Festival and Conference in Nashville.

---Doug Treadway

Know what? We don’t need to worry so much about robots taking over; we’ve already ceded much of our mental territory to cal cal cal cal calculators & computers, so the next step’s easy. Used to be we remembered stuff; not anymore. Now everything is on our i-device or ‘droid and soon we ourselves shall be replaced by androids. Hey, ‘s cool; think about drifting into your golden years being served by elegant but practical machines. No worries, everything’s automatic and everyone knows they never make misteaks. The guy who did maybe the most important work in the field of making computers mimic humans died some 60 years ago. British computer scientist Alan Turing, who proposed the so-called Turing test, got the last laugh. One of his robots recently fooled 33% of a panel of experts into accepting that it was human. I mentioned the passing of Sid Caesar some time ago, I think. He was a comic genius who could mimic almost any language while speaking gibberish. He was also a supreme ironist and the thing I missed when I heard of Sid’s passing was something he would have used as fodder for sure. Within a week of Sid’s demise, a snake-handling preacher in Kentucky died from a rattler’s bite during a service (Jamie Coots was 42). Lauren (The Look) Bacall (originally Betty) was 89 when she passed recently. The look thing came from a photo when she was a teen model showing her looking up at the camera from under her brows. She was 19 when she made her film debut in “To Have And Have Not” with Humphrey Bogart, whom she promptly married even though he was in his forties. And already married. Shazbot! Robin Williams is gone, an apparent suicide at 63. Funny guy. Funny woman Joan Rivers has passed her last mordant quip at 81. Johnny Winter died, man, and he was a couple years younger than I am. First time I saw him play was at Fillmore West, summer of 1969; last time was at one of the local blues festivals some twenty years later. He rocked the house both times. Singer Elaine Stritch passed on at 89. She had an unforgettable voice and, if you ever got to see her in live performance, a persona to match. She was still performing right up ‘til the end. Tom Erdelyi has gone on at 65. Oh wait, you probably know him as Tommy Ramone, drummer, main songwriter, and last surviving member of the original Ramones. Howard Baker was 88 when he passed recently. He was a canny U.S. Senator who understood the importance of a bipartisan effort to solve our problems. Wish we had a few more like him over there in D.C. right now. James Baker was Ronald Reagan’s press secretary when both men were shot by a crazy man who still managed to buy a gun and fly to DC with it, barely wounding the President, but leaving Baker a braindamaged paralytic, leading to stricter gun-control laws in his name. He was 73. Another old pol has left the world stage: Eduard Shevardnadze was the Soviet Foreign Minister who eased the Soviet Union into the end of the cold war (except it seems to be coming back) and went on to be elected President of his homeland, Georgia. He was 86. And speaking of 86, that’s how old actor James Garner was when he died t’other day. What a great guy he was, not only an accomplished artist, but by all accounts just a caring individual. Another actor who passed recently was Ann B. Davis. You might recall her

■

as Alice, the housekeeper on “The Brady Bunch” but I remember her as Schultzy, the smitten gal who was always chasing the handsome photographer Bob Cummings on “The Bob Cummings Show” (I know; never even heard of it, right?) Ann B. Davis was 88. Locally, Gerald Johnson signed off for good at 56. He was a well-renowned saxophone player and longtime DJ at KABF. Another Gerald, composer and band leader Gerald Wilson has also passed, although with thirty-some more years in harness.

THE MALIBU SESSIONS The Cate Brothers Band Swingin’ Door Oh man, what a deal. We get to go back in time with one of the best and most famous acts out of Arkansas ever. Earl and Ernie had Ron Eoff and Terry Cagle with them when they did this recording at Shangri-La Studios in California back some thirty years ago, with a little help from Bonnie Raitt and Garth Hudson, and it still sounds fresh and rockin’ (well, at least mellowly rockin’ – they were never a heavy metal group, y’know). No, seriously, these guys made some very good music back then and here’s a sample: just rustle the paper and you can hear ‘em, I swear; it’s like scratch and sniff, except you employ a different sense; hear that? See? And they have continued to make good music. In fact, we recently reviewed an excellent contemporary album by the Bros & friends and it kicked ass. But this is vintage Cate Bros, back when they had that urge to get on a major label and tour nationally. They were as good as anybody out there, but somehow they failed to catch on with a national audience, more’s the pity. But then maybe that’s the best for us, y’know? They still hang out in Arkansas and make music and speak with fans as if we were regular people. (Note: Treadway has been regular for most of his life. Ed) BONNIE MONTGOMERY Bonnie Montgomery Fast Weapons Much has been said and written about Bonnie Montgomery lately. She’s at her best when doing pure country, sort of like Emmylou Harris. She’ll go more mainstream pop or rock and do it as well as any, but she just has that extra oomph when it comes to originals such as “Black County” or “Nashville.” Reckon she was raised on country sunshine. Bonnie begins this set with a search for her soul and the realization that you don’t have to go all around the world to fulﬁll your

NIGHTFLYING.COM • OUT HOUSE READING • 2014

dreams and ends with the very cleverly caustic “But I Won’t” and you won’t want to miss that. She was aided and abetted by the guitars of Nathan Howdeshell and Alex Piazza (on steel), the upright bass of Jimmy Young, drumming of Paul Grifﬁth, and a whole host of others, including piano, violin, ﬁddle (there is a difference, you know, not so much in the instrument, but the attack), banjo, even a cello. Oh yeah, mustn’t forget to mention supporting vocals by Rachel Paige Geroy. One might make contact at BONNIEMONTGOMERYMUSIC.COM (that’s the way it’s presented on the album cover). THE WHITE ALBUM PROJECT II Various Artists indie Here’s another oldie but goodie, recorded at Juanita’s Cantina Ballroom over three sessions from twenty-some years ago. It’s mostly an homage to the Beatles back when they decided to get really heavy, so you know there are some good tunes, even great ones, done with the talent these folks bring together: Lee Tomboulian, vocals and keys; Marc Turner, vocals and bass; Betty Elkins, vocals; Bonnie Turner, vocals, keys, and ukelele; Mike Thomas, guitar; Ross Hurley, lead guitar; Jason Adams, drums. How about that for a lineup? I don’t see information for ordering.

SHAPE UP Essie The Blues Lady Think Memphis This lady can ﬂat play the guitar and can she sing, not just the blues, but smooth soul too. She also wrote or co-wrote (with M. Stuckey) all thirteen songs on the disc. William Stuckey is credited as producer, engineer, and musician on all but two tracks, which are credited to Richard Neal, who is listed as producer, engineer, and musician on those. Recorded at Think Memphis Recording, this is a wonderful collection. The musicianship is excellent and the songs work wonders. “Memphis Fever” is an instrumental but other than that, Ms. Essie sings her heart out on cut after cut. “Gold Diggin’ Friends” is my favorite. See www. myspace.com/essietheblueslady for more info. T.G.I.F Mike Goudreau indie Mike, or Michel, is another of those guys who writes, arranges, produces, and even mixes his own music. The album was recorded and engineered by Jean Custeau at Studio Bleuciel in Stanstead, Quebec and mastered by Steve Corrao at Sage Audio in Nashville, Tennesse. Mike plays guitars, bass, and banjos, as well as sings. Stephane Jette is the drummer; Nino Fabi plays organ and electric piano and Dany Roy plays sax. Maxine Ste Pierre trumpets, while Serge Arsenault handles his ‘bone. Good stuff, especially the bluesier

tunes. If you didn’t know it was done in Canada, you’d think it came out of New Orleans. Should you want to know more, try www.mikegoudreau.com.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN VOLUME 4 Tennessee 5 plays songs of the GypsiLady indie This is simply great instrumental music recorded at Straight-Up Sound Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. And it’s all original, yet totally real roots music. Wow! If you like the country music that came down out of the hills to captivate the city folk, you’ll dig this disc. Johnny Neel (keyboards), Brian Davidson (guitars), Dennis Gulley (bass), Daryl Burgess (drums), and Wanda Vick comprise the band. Oh, wait, almost failed to mention that Wanda plays some incredible violin, mandolin, and Dobro. Check out SongJonesMedia.com for further information or go to www.gypsilady.com to maybe make contact with the band.

SOUTHERN FRIED & SANCTIFIED Cathouse Prophets indie If you ain’t tried it, don’t knock it. Dig this rockabilly or rockin’ country or whatever the hell you want to call it and have a ball. If this doesn’t make you move your feet, Jack, you dead. It came out of the mountains of North Carolina, so you know it’s kickin’ and the fact that one band member provides “Smooth and Funky Bass Grooves” proves it not just any old hillbilly music. They wrote all the songs but one, what was writ by Ray Wylie Hubbard and unfortunately didn’t include any contact info. BELLE DE LOUISVILLE Jonas Friddle indie A lot of this is exactly what I expected, foot-tapping tunes in the old showboat style. But as joyful a bit of music those songs are, there are some modern themes as well as some gospel-tinged tunes and Dixie-

land too. Jonas plays guitar and banjo and sings, ably backed by: Jarod Facknitz on drums, piano, and vocals; Maria McCullough on ﬁddle and vocals; Bailey Doyle on cello and vocals; Evan Jacobson on trombone and vocals; Anna Suechting on trumpet and vocals. Friddle wrote all the originals and there a few traditional tunes thrown in for good measure. Go to www.jonasfriddle. com for details.

MORE THAN STRANGERS Ryan David Orr indie He starts off sounding a lot like the ubiquitous folk singer, in the mold of, say James Taylor, but he goes around that sound to pull out some really nice tunes, all written by him, as well as recorded, performed, and produced by himself. Ah, but he didn’t master it – that was done at Steven Hero Productions in Brooklyn, New York. See www.ryandavidorr.com for further information, including lyrics, which he’s pretty damned good at.

BORN ON THE RIVER Hurricane Ruth Blind Raccoon Hurricane Ruth LaMaster certainly sings up a storm. In fact she almost overpowers her band, a very tight group comprising David Lumsden on lead guitar, Gary Davis on bass guitar, and Jim Engel on drums. They compose the material as well. I mean the whole quartet does. Check ‘em out at www.hurricaneruth. com.

Chucky Waggs (born Charles Adam Wagner) is an artist based out of Eureka Springs with a wealth of musical talent. You can usually ﬁnd him playing guitar with the hillbilly, bluegrass band Mountain Sprout - but don’t let that fool you. He is one of those people that can pretty much do it all musically. He is a one-man band, often with accompanying musicians to add to the energy and dynamic of the music. He has the rare ability to write a song that tells a story so well, your mind can draw it like a picture. A great example of his songwriting is “The Bottom” from his ﬁrst album Company of Raggs. He tells a story about a man who strives to make it to the top where they say the “man in the moon” has endless happiness, only to paddle his boat all the way up and discover it’s not real. Add in his rough, yet genuine voice and it gives life to his lyrics as they dance their way into your ears. Chelsea’s Corner Cafe in Eureka Springs hosted a CD release party on August 28th for his new album Low Road Ramble. He had a very talented ‘company of raggs’ sitting in with him- including Jeff Grey, Ron Landis, Slim Nelson, and Chuck Onofrio. In his new album he stays true to his own style of music without lacking in diversity. His lyrics are unique and always seem to deliver some sort of smiling optimism. Every song on Low Road Ramble is infectious. The whole album literally makes you want to move. You can get your copy of Low Road Ramble from Chucky Waggs at the Eureka Folk Fest on October 11th with Tyler Gregory, or you can go to ChuckyWaggs.com and hear his ---Julia Udouj

The Crumbs, a three piece string band, are the perfect mix of Bluegrass and Americana. All three members were born and raised in Fort Smith, which is why it’s entirely appropriate they decided to write an album and dedicate it to the legacy of the US Marshals that served in Fort Smith in the 19th century. The album, Bring ‘em Round, was inspired by the new US Marshals Museum which will be downtown, scheduled to open 2017, overlooking the Arkansas River. It is being built to honor the fallen US Marshals and provide a hands-on learning experience of Fort Smith’s place in American history. On August 28th the La Huerta’s in Fort Smith held a CD release party for the Crumbs. To find out where they are playing next so you can get a copy of Bring ‘em Round find The Crumbs on facebook. ---Julia Udouj Ed’s Note: While we welcome downloads for Review, please only send actual prepared items.

The RiverStomp Music Festival A Musical Gift From the Gods

---Curtis Copeland Not very often do the stars line up perfectly. But it does seem that every Fall, in the North East corner of Oklahoma, just that scenario seems to happen. The Gods of Bluegrass, Festivals and Good Times seem to work hand in hand to offer up an event so wonderful that it could only be brought down to us from the Heavens...an event, touched by Greatness. This occurrence is rapidly becoming known as a “phenomenon”, a phenomenon that has been given the title of “The RiverStomp Music Festival” and on October 2nd, 3rd and 4th of this year, you too can come be a part of this incredible spectacle. In Tahlequah Oklahoma, just off Hwy 10 at the Sparrow Hawk Campground, the RiverStomp “family” will reunite. As with every year, there will be vendors with their handcrafted goods and delicious foods, there will be events and games to keep you entertained and laughing, there will be amazing and loving people who look forward to meeting up with friends from last year and seeing all the new smiling faces, there, of course, will be the beautiful Illinois River and last but certainly not least, there will be the music...oh the music! This is where the Gods really stepped up folks. Over twenty bands on the RiverStomp lineup this year and there are some real doozies! Headlining the

fest this Fall are The Henhouse Prowlers from Chicago Ill., The Ben Miller Band from Joplin MO., Dirtfoot from Shreveport, LA., and the Oklahoma legend himself, Mr. Randy Crouch. On top of those extraordinary acts we also have Cletus Got Shot, Carrie Nation and the Speakeasy, Tyrannosaurus Chicken, Foleys Van and Tyler Gregory just to name a few! Divine intervention truly played a part in this years freakishly astounding line up! Also stepping in to this years show, on the more “earthly” side of things, are the folks at Mudstomp Records and Nightflying Magazine. The support of these two wonderful entities has been much appreciated by the RiverStomp crew. With their assistance, I for one, believe some truly great things are to come for this festival and for those who come to join in. I strongly encourage you not to be one of those that gets left behind. To make sure that you are part of the flock you can go ahead and purchase your tickets for the Fifth Annual RiverStomp Music and Crafts Festival at Sparrow Hawk Camp or you can call them at 1-800-722-9635. Prices are $50 if you make the trip to the campground and $60 over the phone. Students, present your student ID or have the number ready when you call and you can pick’em up for only $35. RV sites are $35 as well but are going quickly. Vendors, you can also use this number to reserve your little plot in utopia. To find out more about the line up and other

activities at RiverStomp, “like” our facebook page, RiverStomp Music Festival, and be sure to check the event page for updates. Also, swing by the Blisterfoot Productions page, the Mudstomp.com website and the Nightﬂying.com site. All great places promoting great things. In summary folks, don’t be the person on October 5 hearing about how great RiverStomp was. Drink the kool aid...buy the ticket...take the ride! It’s a phenomenon you don’t want to miss out on and I sincerely hope to see all your smiling faces when the RiverStomp bus leaves the station on October 2. Until then, be good and be good to each other.

An Interview with Joe Giles

A candid conversation with the BB & BBQ Director

I’m proud to say that my friend Gina Parks has not only opened her new Big Chill club in Rogers, but that it’s doing great! I spent an evening at the club with Gina and her daughter Jessica (one of our Nightflying artists) and quite frankly was blown away. I knew Gina had a magic touch when it comes to hospitality – hey, she built and runs the Big Chill in Hot Springs, one of the most happening bars in the entire Altered State and beyond - and quite frankly wondered if that would translate well to NWA. It not only does, but she is fast on her way to having one of the coolest clubs in that part of the state…an area with probably more clubs per capita than anywhere else in Arkansas. Can you say “ambiance?” They got it… Now then, I’ve long believed that the cardinal rule of the bar business is that the crowd follows the crowd. Basically, the people want to be where the other people are – it’s an energy thing and they tend to feed off each other. It’s why folks will go anywhere, in my opinion, and the first feel of the room was just that. It’s comfortable. It has a nice stage, a full bar, a very fine sound system, a comfortable outdoor patio for those of us who still support the tobacco farmers, and the prices are reasonable. It’s practically within a stone’s throw of the Walmart AMP, too, and you can bet it will be a place people stop into on their way to a show and for a nightcap afterwards. What’s more, the crowd there this night was a far more genuine bunch of folks than the yuppiefied bunch you find at many of the other area clubs. Set to appear in the coming weeks are Hwy. 124, Mister Lucky, Ashley McBryde, Bladk Dutch Souix (!), Mike Mayberry & The Slow Hand, Cara Thompson & Brent Frazier, Shurman, and the killer Ghost Town Blues Band from Memphis. To reach the Big Chill for bookings and directions, call (479)271-7011… As some of you may have noticed by our cover, the annual Bikes, Blues & BBQ fest is upon us. Hundreds of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts will descend on the Ozarks in the coming days for a week-long celebration of all things bike-related…especially lots of great live music and extremely fine food. And let’s face it, these folks know how to party and have deep enough pockets to do it right. The rally is one of the most prominent bike rallies in the country and it’s put on for charity-sake. For more details, look for the feature article elsewhere in this edition. All in all, it’s party time in Northwest Arkansas… www.nightflying.com

George’s checks in this edition with a very fine line-up…but then they always do. In the coming weeks look for Earl & Them, Boom! Kinetic, Bear Hands, Andy Frasco, Mountain Sprout, Samantha Fish, Foley’s Van, Chubby Carrier, Steve Pryor, Isayah’s Allstars, Members Only, J Roddy Walston & The Business, The Josh Abbott Band, Little Chief, RJ Mischo & His Red Hot Blues Band, Tragikly White, JB & The Moonshine Band, Here Come The Mummies, Drive-By Truckers, Paul Thorn and a lot more. We are planning a major blowout at George’s the day after Thanksgiving. To wit, it’s the Nightflying 34-year anniversary Bash (historically one of the biggest parties in Northwest Arkansas.) This year we’ll be featuring The Schwag, Joe Giles & The Homewreckers, Isayah’s Allstars, The 1 Oz. Jig, Jed Clampit, and more. Watch these pages as we get doser to the date for more details. For bookings contact Brian or Harold at (479)527-6618……. The Smoke & Barrel Tavern checks in with a somewhat light calendar this time out, but they are undergoing some renovation so that’s understandable. Just the same, on the bill in the coming weeks are Shawn James, Dumptruck Boyz, Ghost Hollers, The Yokohama Drifters, Stranger Deranger, Jeff Kearney, Basement Brew, The Too’s, Dana Louise, Tauk, Galaxy Tour Guides and more. For bookings contact (479)521-6880……. JJ’s Grill features live music 6 nights a week, and always has some great players. In the coming weeks in Fayetteville are Maud Crawford, Take Cover, Murray Williams, Clint Scrivner, Jeff Fox, Jon Dooly, The Ouachita River Boys, Brian Martin, Darren Ray, ClusterPluck, Dead Strangs, Mrs. Roper’s Pool Boys, Isayah’s Allstars, Ashley McBryde and a lot more. In Rogers are dates with Jones & Leah, Jeff Fox, Murray Williams, Tim Meitzen, Jamie Wolfe & The Wranglers, Fifty Nine South, Scott Eastman, Darren Ray, Maud Crawford, Russ Hutchison and more.. We list 4 JJs locations: Fayetteville, Rogers, Beaver Lake, and Conway. Each has live music nearly every night and they feature nothing but tried and true musical artists. Suffice it to say that you can see what each has in store in our Sound section. For bookings, though, contact Jeff Fox at jjsbooking@gmail.com.......

---Peter Read Joe Giles is a long-time entertainer who lives in Northwest Arkansas. He fronts the band Joe Giles & The Homewreckers and has done so for well over a decade. In addition, for the past four years he has been the director of Bikes, Blues and BBQ, and has essentially helped build it into one of the country’s most prominent and successful annual bike rallies. With Bikes, Blues & BBQ coming up, I was able to sit down and do a phone interview with Joe about life, the universe and everything. As a mercy to our readers I haven’t included the bad jokes and puns we always have in every conversation we have. The following are excerpts of this conversation… Nightflying: Where are you from, Joe? Joe Giles: I came all the way here from Farmington. All the way from Farmington… Yep. All of 6 miles from Fayetteville. And how did you get to where you are from such humble beginnings? I got in the car and drove. All 6 miles?  That’s right… You were a principle at a school for a while… I was. I was the principle for 12 years at Prairie Grove. So I’m going to guess you have some kind of degree in education or something? I have a Master’s Degree in Education…almost a doctorate. When did you get off into music, Joe? I started playing music in 1963 or ’64 when I was a freshman in high school. I’ve done it off and on ever since. I put it off for a time when I started teaching. I’ve played with honky tonk bands, rock bands and even done my fair share of country. There was one band called Southwind…one called Hard Times – which was highly appropriate…When I was in high school my band was called The Assassins. In 1989 I formed the Hard Tops and I’ve played basically non-stop since then. How did you come up with this name The Homewreckers? Some time in my past I heard that word and I understood the connotation…for whatever reason the word just appealed to me. There’s really not a good story behind that. I just thought what a cool word that is. Now…my mother didn’t feel the same way… My first band was called Joint Expressions. We thought it was cool because the parents had no idea what we were really meaning by that. Of course they thought we were jointly ‘expressing ourselves’, but we knew what it really meant of course. That was back at the age that we, ultimately, invented everything, you know… Sure…it amazes me how much more we knew than our parents. Astoundingly so. It amazed me how much smarter they got when I hit about 20 or so. Yeah, they learned a lot… How long have you kept The Homewreckers together? The Homewreckers…this is our 16th year. So what are the highlights? It’s like all bands…lots of gigs for lots of occasions, who you’ve opened for and all that… Joe, we call that “shared stages with” these days. It sounds so much better, you know… We got to share a stage over in Tahlequah with Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels. We played first, Mitch Ryder played last and in between Denny Laine played. He did a one-man thing and was quite amazing…You know, he played with Paul McCartney and the Moody Blues and lots of really big names. Oh yeah…I have watched him for years, actually. We spent a couple hours in the Green Room with him just listening to his stories and tales of the rock ‘n’ roll business. It was like being in rock ‘n’ roll Heaven for me. Hanging out with him was the real highlight of my music career. We traded phone numbers and addresses and all that and I was really high on the whole thing. He lives in Las Vegas and still plays out a lot. And he even told me to look him up whenever I go to Las Vegas…It was really good. Have you ever done rock ‘n’ roll stunts? You know, like tearing up motel rooms, driving the Mercedes in the hotel pool and that sort of thing? No. With lots of bands it’s the old Sex, Drugs and rock ‘n’ roll thing. For us it was it was basically have some snickers and go out and play… How often are you playing these days? It just varies from week to week. Some weeks we might play 3 gigs, and then some weeks we don’t play at all and just sit home and play with ourselves…er…strike that…some people might get the wrong idea… Truth is we’re at a point where we just kind of pick and choose. We really only play places now that we really enjoy. Such as? I love playing both Jose’s – in Fayetteville and Springdale…especially for the Bike Nights. Those are great fun. And I love playing at George’s…that’s always a fun gig. And we play every so often at Downstream Casino and I love playing there because we get a real good response there. Casinos are good gigs. Really they are. They pay well and are really low stress gigs…with the exception of the load-ins, because let’s face it, they weren’t designed by musicians. There are customers all over the place and you have to dance around the slot machines with all your heavy gear and all. Do you write songs? I used to. There was a period of about 10 years I tried to devolop my songwriting. I really enjoy the Texas Singer-songwriter things…people like Guy Clark and such really inspire me. And I’m just a country boy at heart so I was trying to do some of that. It never really took, I guess, but I had a lot of fun trying my hand at it. Tell me who all is in your band… Okay. My guitar player is Russ Hutchison. And there’s Johnny Arredondo on drums and Mike Niccum plays bass. These guys have all been on the road, they’ve all had long-time house gigs, and they are all absolute professionals and I’m just so ridiculously lucky to have them. Doesn’t Russ play a solo gig sometimes? He does a solo gig…he and Mike have a duo gig from time to time. And Russ sits in with lots of people. They’re all true pros and again I am so lucky to work with them… If you had to give advice to some young person wanting to go into music what would you tell them? I would say don’t expect to be big stuff at first. Get with players far more advanced than you and study everything they do…then you might learn the tools you really need to go for the big time. Plus, they make you look good. What is the next big thing for you, Joe? I don’t know. I’m about to leave Bikes, Blues & BBQ…this is my last year for that. I’ve had this job for 4 years and I’ve never considered it as a career or anything. I know I’m going to keep on playing music for as long as I can. There’ll be another next big thing, but I don’t have a clue what it is. Is there anything else you’d like to include here? I mean, Joe, you have the stage here… I’d just like to add that I love entertaining. Anyone who knows me knows I personally have no discernable talent. I have made my entire music career on the fact that I’ve been blesssed to be surrounded by some very excellent musicians I’ve been around for years. They can actually play and are good. I’ve simply been lucky to be backed by them and I’ve been out front just showing off and having fun. Actually Joe, you’re a hell of an entertainer. I’ve watched you in many capacities. In my opinion the value of what we do here is giving stress relief to people…and someone like you that can get up in front of a bunch of drunk strangers and essentially take their stress away is probably the most important job there is… I do like the way you think. Let’s face it, if you relieve somebody of stress it makes everything about their lives better. They do their jobs better. They treat their kids better. They feel better about everything they do and in that it improves the entire world… That’s so true. And that’s precisely why I really like being an entertainer. I have the time of my life and get paid for it too. What could be better! If you think of anything you’d like to add here just give me a call. I’ll do it…thanks for doing this, too. It’s been fun… ---PR

With the cooler weather things are typically slowing down a bit in this touresty town. Actually, after the visitors leave the locals feel safe to come out again and the city takes on a wonderful different energy…a much more relaxed atmosphere engulfs the town and in my opinion, it is by far the nicest time of year in The Spa… The Hot Springs Blues Fest was extremely fine this year, and even the occasional showers didn’t put a damper on things. Actually, I think it helped a bit in keeping the dust down and the town was alive with the great American musical art form. By many accounts it was the best blues festival in our history since it began. You can thank David Aldridge and Max Taylor for this, and certainly David and Sherree Hughes for keeping the tradition alive. And Charles and Lori Ragsdell from Eureka Springs fame always add their special magic to the affair, too. Both are fine-feathered friends and serious about their blues music. Thanks to them for bringing their RV and all the treats for everyone… The Big Chill was a thrill during the festival, with none other than Heather Crosse and her band Heavy Suga & The SweeTones taking the stage on both nights. She was in fine form, leading her exciting band through some fine sets of rocking blues music. (And I think I owe her an apology, too. At one point while shooting pictures I seemed to catch her eye just as my flash went off and she winced big-time…

sorry to have temporarily blinded you dear…it’s the price of fame, though, you know…) Appearing at the club in the coming weeks are Dean Agus & Legacy, The ShotGunBillys, The Simanton-Goff Band, Jocko, Dave Almond, The Ghost Town Blues Band, Razor & Candy, The John Calvin Brewer Band, The Hired Hands, Tara & Brent, Christian Dean, Shane Simanton & Company, Steve Hester & DeJaVooDoo, Mister Lucky, Joe Hall, the Ori Naftaly Band and much more. In addition, every Sunday brings DJ Chucky D., with his own take on Karaoke. And with all this musical action, there is still NO COVER CHARGE at the club. All in all, this is one of the hottest clubs in The Altered State…not just Hot Springs. For bookings and other information, call (501)624-5185.....

oldest continually serving bar in the country. Seriously. And the club is non-smoking now, so the atmosphere and ambiance are invitingly pleasant. Plus, if you want to have a smoke they put a nice bench out front complete with a life-size sculpture of long-ago patron Al Capone. Cappone used to live for a time each year in Hot Springs and frequented The Ohio Club. I know…what a claim to fame… There’s never a cover charge here, except when they step out and bring in a special artist like Samantha Fish on occasion. To reach the Ohio for directions and other information call (501)627-0702… Maxine’s is another piece of history. The former brothel is now peddling some of the best live music one can ask for, attracting national-level artists touring through. Look for the acts like Cult Fiction,

The Hooten Hallers, Natural State Band, Amy Jo Savannah, Marriage, Mya’s Madams, Dinosaur Feathers, Ghost Bones and Glittercore in the coming weeks. Maxine’s features a full menu, and an even fuller bar. This is a non-smoking venue. For bookings call (501)321-0909……. Razorback Pizza has kept at it in the music department. In the coming weeks look for Kenny Tillery & Courtney Overacker, Kinisi Kenodo, The Diamond Blues Band, Moonshine Maﬁa and Mayday By Midnight. Razorback Pizza has also agreed to join in our Come Together Tornado relief project…probably sometime in the Fall when the weather gets near perfect in the Altered State. Watch these pages for details. Razorback Pizza is located in the Temperance Hill Shopping Center on Central Avenue. For bookings call Brian at (501)525-1616, or email brianchidester0074@gmail.com…….

The Ohio Club on Bath House Row is a music freak’s delight, and was one of the main party rooms during the Blues Festival. (It always is, actually…) In addition to the Ohio Club Players on weekends, the house band, the club features various artists throughout the week: Larry Womack and Jacquiline every Sunday, John Calvin Brewer on Mondays, Delta Donnie & Dona every Tuesday, an enormous Blues Jam every Wednesday with the Hump Night Blues Band hosting, Delta Donnie and Dona on Thursdays, food and libations that are seriously above-average and underpriced(!), and all in what is perhaps the

Families are an interesting thing. Don’t you agree? There are all kinds of families, ranging from the government defined nuclear family with 2.2 kids to the mixed family to the blended family and on and on. There are moms & dads, brothers & sisters, aunts & uncles, cousins galore, grandparents & grandkids, husbands and wives. Everyone has that crazy aunt or funny uncle that gets a little too happy or says something crass. But, they are still family, be it by birth or by default. What defines a family? Is it blood? Is it a relationship? Is it a combination of things? Webster says a family can be about nine or so different things ranging from parents and their children to groups of languages to a taxonomy of critters and plants. I think the definition I like the best is “any class or group of like or related things”. I figure this could be rocks, bugs, plants, books, people, music. Based on that definition, a family of people may or may not be related by blood. They may simply live under the same roof. Or they may be a group of folks who like to be together whenever possible. Or it may be a group of people who come together to do something. I think most of us probably have a few different families we operate in. There’s the family we grew up in. There’s the work family, and sometimes we may have a couple of different work families. For me, I have my family that I was born into, grew up in and continue to cultivate with my own children and grandchildren. We are close and loving, nutty at times, but always there for one another. Then, I have my work family. Those folks I often see more than my kin. These are the people who go to battle with me every day to stomp out ignorance in the educational arena. Probably the biggest and most far reaching family I have is my music family, in particular my blues music family. I don’t know how it works out in other genres of music, but the blues music family seems to be the most sincere, honest and hardworking group of folks I have come across. There is always a welcome hug, a kiss on the cheek or a slap on the back. It’s a family of people with similar interests and backgrounds brought together by the power of the music. My own blues family extends, quite literally from coast to coast and border to border. Through the years I’ve had the privilege to not just meet people in the music business but to also cultivate friendships that have lasted a lifetime. I dare say there are not many places in the USA I can travel that I don’t find someone I know. In many cases, I have a place to crash and a meal to eat. And the feelings and niceties are reciprocal. Many is the time that I’ve had a house full of musicians or friends fill the Hughes Hotel For Lost Souls & Wayward Musicians. Extending a little kindness to those who are of like mind and spirit goes a long way to keeping that good karma flowing. I love going to events and running into my extended blues family. It can be any event like the recent fundraiser to help Gil Franklin over at Parrot Beach in North Little Rock. Some of the folks there I had not seen in awhile but we fell right in like we’d never missed a day. Or heading up to Eureka Springs for the Blues Weekend that Charles and Lori Ragsdell host. It’s like old home week up there. Or, on a bigger scale, going to the Blues Music Awards or International Blues Challenge in Memphis. These two events are like great big family reunions where all the tribes gather for a few days to celebrate the music. And one another. Most recently, the Hot Springs Blues Festival brought a bunch of the fam to town. Getting to see my brothers (and sisters) from other mothers JP Soars & Chris Peet, Brandon Santini & Nick Hern, Cindi & Greg James, Charlotte Taylor, John Roach, Matt Stone, Tyndall Jackson, Bruce Johnston, Barbara Blue, Matt Isbell, Preston McEwen, Jeremy Powell, Suavo Jones, Larry Garner, Heather Crosse & Lee Williams, Steve Hester, and all the rest. We may only see each other once in

awhile but when we do it’s like we never missed a beat. The same happy smiles, struggles, failures and successes are all part of why we came together in the ﬁrst place. And, for awhile, the rest of the world and its craziness disappears while we savor the moments meant for family. Those moments that only our little group gets and understands. In this crazy, upside down business of music, it’s important that we stick together as one. That we help pave the way for the next generation and continue to push the elder statesmen to new heights. All these little reunions should serve as reminders that we are all in

Steve Lee & Lee Williams

this together, as Bob Margolin once told me. Family isn’t always about blood. It can be about sharing struggles and triumphs. Taking care of the ones around you who are less fortunate. Being the shoulder or the rock that another relies on. That’s family. And that’s a good thing. Be good to each other and take the time…no, make the time…to be in your family circles, whatever they may be. Lift each other up because you know it’s the right thing to do. As always, I’ll be watching from backstage. Peace y’all… ---DH

Minarik Inferno

---Story and photos by Steve Evans

One of the most eye-catching guitars at the Jacksonville Guitar Museum is the Minarik Inferno. It’s not a vintage guitar, but is considered a collector’s item because of its limited production and flamboyant styling. This 2006 Minarik Inferno is one of the first Infernos produced and has a very low serial number of 000012. The body is cut to resemble a burst of fire and the tongues of the flame even serve an audible purpose. The tongues are partially chambered (hollowed-out) and are different lengths, with each adding its own degree of vibration and resonance. Notice how the tongues on the left side are longer, designed to give more bass tone, and the tongues on the right side are shorter to enhance the brightness of the treble strings. The Minarik Guitar Company came up with a stellar original body shape for the Inferno, but also used many of the tried and true ideas made famous by the Gibson Guitar Company. Two humbucking pickups, tune-o-matic bridge with stop bar tailpiece, speed knobs, set neck made of mahogany with rosewood fingerboard, and a mahogany body with a maple top, all features found on a Gibson Les Paul model. The Inferno’s “Fire Burst” finish on its quilted maple top also suggests fire, and the embellishment of mutli-colored abalone binding turns up the heat a notch or two in the Wow-Factor. The Fingerboard is inlayed with white pearl torch orchid position markers. The peghead has two inlays; a large white pearl “M” for Minarik, and a pearl & abalone inlayed cherub blowing her celestial horn. The peghead also features a white pearloid truss rod cover and gold plated tuning keys. All hardware on the Inferno is gold plated and the tailpiece even has some whimsical engraving. Likewise, the pickups are engraved and boldly proclaim, “Tone Perfect.”

As with most of these articles, I tend to draw from what happens in my shop. This month was emailed by a customer whom wished to remain nameless… presumably, to protect the innocent. I talk with many musicians each day and, as I have stated before, I encourage pickers to “hang out”, talk, pick and… sometimes… even have something repaired! Of the subjects discussed recently… Just WHERE do musicians get their information? First of all let’s get some definition of the word: Knowledge. Knowledge is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as (i) expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject; (ii) what is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information; or (iii) awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation. Philosophical debates in general start with Plato’s formulation of knowledge as “justified true belief.” There is however no single agreed definition of knowledge presently, nor any prospect of one, and there remain numerous competing theories. Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, learning, communication, association and reasoning. The term knowledge is also used to mean the confident understanding of a subject with the ability to use it for a specific purpose if appropriate. So… There is no single definition of the term knowledge… OK, Lets just say that, for this discussion, that “knowledge” will be defined as the combination of all three. Plato is just a little too vague for me. Please take note that none of these include un-educated speculation, biased supposition or plain stupidity. The Internet is a marvel of modern technology. It provides a great amount of information… correct and incorrect. There are a great number of knowledgeable people who provide accurate and very useful facts about subjects of all kinds. There are also those who post their opinions… passed off, as facts and it can be difficult to discern between opinion and fact under the veil of anonymity. When I hear a bit of “Intel” that sounds particularly intriguing about guitars or other stringed instruments, I begin researching. I DO go to the Internet and gather from SEVERAL reliable sources, which include many that I have come to trust. I also read the “old fashioned” print media. I even TALK to other professionals in the industry… I have found that, in American Culture, if you commit information to literal, ink-published, PRINT, then you better have your facts straight. Otherwise our “Sue ‘Em” society will be on you like girls on a guitar player! Tne “blog” from the Internet cannot be the be-all-end-all source!… Especially if the author refers to himself as “guitar-grand-poobah-of-all-time”. When someone quotes a Blog, I tend to immediately become wary of the validity. Remember, ANYONE can post a blog… not just experts…. And… Subjectively, I have found that true, experts tend NOT to blog… they write articles … in respectable publications. These articles are often MIS-QUOTED in blogs. I can’t count the number of times that customers have quoted information from the Internet that just wasn’t true… or at best, partially true but misconstrued. Recently, I had a very good customer who is an accomplished musician and an intelligent professional (many would say: an uncommon combination) come into the shop. During the course of conversation he made a statement that the Engleman Spruce on his guitar was not strong enough to tune medium gauge strings up to Concert pitch. He went on to say that his warranty would be voided according to the manufacturer. Now I know that, in business, the adage is: The customer is always right… in this case…the customer just had the wrong information. In fact, the disclaimer was for a completely different model. As it turned out, when we researched the manufacturer, this particular builder was making this claim because he was essentially “covering his butt” if-and-when he was approached about warranty issues. Apparently, he had variations in his building from one instrument to the next. If he built an instrument with a too-thin top, only THEN would the wood fail… and to compensate for the ultra-thin top, he may not scallop his braces and maybe use a polymer finish, which is stronger but not as acoustically transparent. He would call this a DIFFERENT model! Also, to our amazement, this builder was PROUD of the fact that he had NO formal education in building guitars or even woodworking before he began building his instruments a few years ago… yet he CALLED himself a Luthier. NOTE: If you have not served an apprenticeship under a Master Luthier… then you are NOT one. If you have completed courses in repair from established manufacturers and served a number of years working on instruments then, at best, you are a Guitar Technician… like myself. I have built guitars… but I never refer to myself as a Luthier… and neither did our beloved, late Tim Quetermous and he had been repairing and building fretted instruments in Central Arkansas for over 40 years! In this instance, the information was wrong from the source, “the builder”, but we often hear comments that are misinterpreted or incomplete CORRECT information. Another Guitar Technician called me recently asking about an acoustic guitar that wouldn’t intonate. He had tried EVERYTHING. The nut was filed correctly, the saddle was factory compensated, etc. I asked him if he would measure the overall scale. He said that is was 25-1/8”… Huh?… He told me that he had read on the Internet that this was correct for many “zero fret” instruments… Wait a minute… This was a NEW bit of information… He had not told me that it had a zero fret. I asked him if ALL of the strings were touching the Zero fret and he asked: “What IS a zero fret?” Asking questions is the first step of learning and this Tech was doing just that… asking. I respect that. Luckily, I knew the answer… otherwise I would have to research it myself. This tech just hadn’t researched quite FAR enough to find out that a zero fret was an additional fret that replaced the job of the nut in relation to intonation. The nut becomes just a guide to hold the strings in the proper path. He filed the nut further to allow the zero fret to do its job and the instrument intonated

THE BOYD MUSIC CENTER SAGA, Part 8: BOYD MUSIC’S 1975 “GRAND REOPENING.” By 1975, Boyd Music had been occupying and thriving in a 60 by 80 foot space, but had begun to “stretch the walls” to find space to do more business. Up until then, a coin operated laundry was in the first 20 by 80 foot space on the east end of our building on West 12th Street. That year, they closed and vacated the building. I seized the opportunity to expand Boyd Music’s floor space and add another 1600 square feet to our existing 4800. (When we closed in 2000, we had 11,400 square feet!) We tore down the wall between us and the old laundry, built a row of offices along the east wall, and installed our new instrument and amplifier service department in the rear 40 feet of the new space. At the time I had an inventory control manager who volunteered to use his pickup truck to explore all over the backwoods of Arkansas, looking for old wooden buildings to be torn down for the old wood.

We decided the weather-worn grey woodgrain would make an attractive backdrop for our fine acoustic and electric guitar finishes. Our man was very successful. One of his acquisitions was a group of 6 solid virgin oak 12 by 12 inch posts, and some very long (one was 26 feet long!) 2 by 10 foot lengths of oak. Those of you who “hung out” at Boyd’s will remember the huge, roughly triangular-shaped frame of those timbers, mounted on the 6 12 by 12 posts. There were 2 tiers of guitar racks, inside and out, where we displayed over 100 fine guitars and other instruments. In short, thanks to all the loyal guys and gals who loved Boyd Music and wanted to see it succeed, and a patient and loving God, the entire store was re-decorated with that fine old wood. But we found it was impossible to drive even a large nail into the iron-like virgin oak, so we had to drill holes and attach the frame with ¾ inch dowel pins. In the process we burned up several electric drills. But the finished framework was so solid, I would joke that if a tornado swept away our concrete-and steel building, the solid oak guitar rack would probably be left, still proudly standing! When we closed Boyd Music Center in June of 2000, a customer paid me $500 for all that ancient oak, and I helped him and his family dismantle and load it onto his huge rented truck. He planned to open a retail store that sold only Arkansas-made products. The 1975 Fall Edition of our “You’ve Got A Friend” magazine proudly announced, “WELCOME TO THE NEW BOYD’S. Okay, so the word is out now…an all new, improved Boyd Music Center!! So what’s new? A bigger, better service department, including a complete string instrument refinishing department, more of the guitars, basses, amps, sound systems and drums you really want, and a more inviting, spacious sales floor and an even friendlier, more helpful staff of guys to rap with.” Some of you may remember the BIG GRAND RE-OPENING DAY. It was August 23, 1975. “Bands on the roof” were “GIBRALTAR” and the “LYRICS.” It was a classic “Boyd-Day” celebration. Once again, thanks to each of you who kept coming back to Boyd Music and made us successful for 38 years. ---BB

correctly and the customer was happy. … And then, sometimes, the information is just “plain old” Wrong… About a year ago, I was speaking with another customer. He was expounding on Relative Humidity, stating that water vapor would actually BIND with the air at a molecular level… BUZZ!… Wrong !… Thank you for playing our game! … Here’s your conciliation prize! Air does not BIND with water vapor. Water vapor is not dissolved in air. The presence of the air is not relevant to the vapor pressure and could be replaced by a vacuum. Relative humidity is relative to “saturation” over a flat surface of pure water. On a flat surface, the forces on a water molecule from its nearest neighbors tend to hold it in place and oppose the thermal energy of the molecule tending to move it away. Air in our atmosphere is a mixture of gases with very large distances between molecules. Therefore, air can accommodate a large quantity of water vapor. It depends upon the temperature and shape of the surface. Other measures of atmospheric moisture are mixing ratio, specific humidity, and dew point. By the way - This information came from Wikipedia backed up by one of my old college science textbooks. In short, EVERYBODY makes mistakes. No guitar was harmed he just had the mechanics wrong. We all should be sure to “cross-reference” our information with another source. There is no crime in not knowing and there certainly is no shame in asking questions. I may not always know the answer but rest assured, that I WILL find out the right answer so you can feel comfortable in leaving your instruments with me for repair or service. Trust your experienced guitar tech…whom ever he/she is… If your guitar tech does not know the answer to a question, don’t panic. If he states that he will find out… that’s a good sign. Make sure that they have been performing repair work for a number of years. If they have put in the time, they probably know what they’re doing. Trust is very important. And, as a side note… if you do have an issue with a job that has been done… be sure to contact the person who performed the work. The customer has a responsibility to relate his displeasure directly to the technician… whether it’s a car mechanic, a computer repair guy or… your favorite guitar tech. If the person that made the repair doesn’t know that you are unhappy, how can you expect them to make it right. Facebook is NOT the place to air your grievances! In short… take information found on the web with a grain of salt until you have a chance to cross-reference the facts with a reliable source. If you have questions or suggestions for future Frets-About-Frets Articles, please feel free to contact me: bryon@littlerockfrets.com or call the shop at 501-223-FRET (3738). ---BK

Hard Work And Plenty Of It

Larry ‘Goose’ Garrison Legendary bar owner still sees the best of life

—Peter Read They call him “Goose” for a pretty good reason, which I’ll share with you in a moment. Our cover story this issue is about a man who has been behind the presentation of hundreds of bands to the public for over a quarter of a century. Larry Garrison - aka “Goose” - is the amiable power behind the legendary White Water Tavern, a jolly, affable guy with a love and taste for good music, and a feel for entertaining the masses. I first encountered Larry back when we were starting Nightflying in 1980. At the time he was just opening a White Water on Fayetteville’s Dickson Street. I’d heard that someone had bought the legendary Swingin’ Door club, and had the gall to take down the infamous 2-story cowboy that had adorned the entrance for more years than anyone knew. Many in the town were quite upset with this fact, and made no bones about letting him know about it. Thing is, often someone would climb up and stick a foot-long look-alike joint in the cowboy’s mouth - which actually seemed to symbolize Fayetteville in those days - and was a point of pride for the local hippies. I asked Larry why he took that landmark down, and he told me he just needed to get a new look for his new club for a decided break from the past. “I just didn’t want people to expect the same thing from the White Water that they had from the old Swingin’ Door. I misjudged...because a whole lotta folks got really mad about it.” Some 23+ years later some of them still are. On the cover of our inaugural issue we featured a story about the new club: “There is a tavern in the town,” and right off the bat I started hearing from folks about why we shouldn’t be supportive, since they “killed the Swingin’ Cowboy.” Things blew over pretty quickly for the most part, and the White Water became a new hang-out for Fayetteville’s sizable party crowd. The bands were plentiful at the time, and there were very few places they could play in town. Larry brought groups like Burger & Friends to perform on a regular basis, as well as the then-popular Zorro & The Blue Footballs. (Hell, I even played there a time or two, which was strange as at the time I was a bonafied loungelizard act, touring the country with a piano doing Elton John and Billy Joel and Randy Newman and Tom Waits material.) The club carried on for a few years until, after having to throw out some rowdies one night (while Burger was playing), somebody drove past and fired a shot through the window, killing a patron, which essentially began killing the business as well. At the time, he still was proprietor of the White Water in Little Rock...yes...the very same club that’s still thriving at 7th and Thayer right now. The following weekend, after Burger et al had performed there, the club burned for the first time, nearly destroying it and Burger’s equipment to boot. As Burger told me later, “Man, I didn’t think I ever wanted another White Water gig in my life! Those places are jinxed or cursed or something...” Over time he relented, of course, and the WWT became something of his home-base club for many years (even through the next two fires in the ensuing years). In preparing for this article, I had the chance to actually interview Larry...sort of... We started out in his upstairs office until the band started and drowned us out. We finished this in the front seat of his car where we could hear each other and watch the patrons coming and going, not to mention the musicians making their break-time trips to the parking lot. The following, then, is the gist of that conversation. NF: When you were a little kid, was it your dream of becoming Mr. Nightclub dude? LG: Hell no, I wanted to be a veterinarian to be honest. So you had a talent for cutting up small animals? No, just an animal lover. I’ve not found my talent yet...if there is one. I think you have a pretty good feel for this business, actually. I probably know and deal with more club owners than anyone in this state, and in my opinion this is a pretty natural occupation for you. I like it a lot, you know. It’s great to be able to get paid to do what other people pay to go out and do. I can definitely relate. I bet you can. So how did you get your start as a nightclub proprietor? I started Slick Willie’s with a bunch of guys. It was September of 1977. A friend of mine, Dave Corriveau, and I went into it and got lucky. The

video craze was just starting, and there weren’t really any other arcades around town yet. And it was a goldmine, too. Have you ever seen $10,000 in quarters? It’ll make your head spin, lemme tell you. Then we opened Buster’s right next door and it took off as well. At the time nothing much was really happening in the train station. There were few trains anymore, and the properties were pretty much empty. So you were behind both? Yeah, pretty much. Me and a bunch of people. Larry, those two clubs became remarkably successful for years. I know it. And we were really on top of things for a while. It was just being in the right place at the right time to be honest, especially since the video-game industry was basically just getting big. Mostly pinball at first, and then the computerized video games like PacMan and such. Did you buy a bunch of games? No. I always worked with A-One Amusement, who would put the games in and the venue would get half the money and they’d maintain the

machines entirely. It was obviously a win-win situation. It really worked, and they had to pay for the permits. Do you own the machines in here now? No. They’re owned by King Koin out of Jacksonville and it’s the same kind of deal. When did you first get the White Water? December ’79. One year before you opened the second location up in Fayetteville? Yes. I was there for 2 or three years I guess. And then that bastard shot somebody’s head off in my club. That was a terrible blow as I recall. Yes. We still had this one going, though and I decided to not spread myself as thin and concentrate on the one club. To tell the truth, I had already gotten tired of driving back and forth all the time. I think a couple of gas stations went out of business when I sold the Fayetteville store. And then the fire shut it down for a while. What did you do in the meantime? Well, it took a while for the insurance to pay off so I could rebuild the place, and I spent my time trying to work through the process. Don’t get me started on insurance companies, Larry. No kidding! It takes forever! And you never know if they’re going to pay the entire time. What became of your former partners in Slick Willie’s and Buster’s? They went to Dallas and started the wildly successful Dave & Buster’s club. It’s enormous and really a hot place. Why? It’s a lot bigger market, and they were always wanting to do something much larger in scope. Well, they certainly called that one right. Dave & Buster’s has been, as you say, wildly successful... So how long did you do Slick’s and Buster’s? I sold it in November or so of ’79...right before I bought this place and opened in Fayetteville. I was sorry to have to, but it was really time, and I needed the money to do the White Water. Did you have any partners in the White Water at first? Yes, Paul Black and Mike Galbreath. It was The Pitcher before it was

2014

the White Water. They’d already gotten The Swingin’ Door in Fayetteville, and that’s when I bought in and went in there and changed it to The White Water. I didn’t know it was going to break everybody’s hearts to take that damn cowboy down, not to mention bustin’ those swingin’ doors with a sledge hammer. People hated me for it...and I suppose some still do. It was a bit of a landmark for Fayetteville, that’s for sure. The cowboy was sacred around there. And then the shooting happened, and there was a stabbing next door, too. So we decided to sell out to a guy named John Jamison. I remember John...good guy as I recall... Yeah, really. I sure liked it when he bought the place. But he was kinda young and he didn’t last very long. And this kind of business will make a young man old in a hurry... You opened that club exactly when we were printing our first issue. As you probably recall we had a story about it on the cover. Yeah. And I think I was your first advertiser, too. You and The Y’all Come Back Saloon, as they were just opening, too. It was good timing for us, that’s a fact. That was back in your drinking days. I don’t know how you did it...you would be here at 2 a.m. and you were headed to El Dorado or Texarkana or something. Larry, I like to think I was on a mission from God, you know?! Right. I guess I should shut up because you could tell stories about me, too! That’s the beauty of knowing someone for so long. You can both tell the stories and you know it...it sort of evens out the field, if you know what I mean. No kidding! Suffice it to say it’s a wonder that either one of us is still alive... When was it you sold the Fayetteville store? That was around the middle of ’83 or so. I don’t know...it was a long time ago. I had to cover all the taxes we owed, you know, payroll taxes and liquor taxes and all of them. Of course Arkansas has a lot of “sin” taxes...if you like something they’re going to stick it to you, you know? Absolutely! Especially now with what our Legislature just did...But this isn’t about the local politics, thank God...How did you get your appreciation of music? It goes way back. There’s just something different about live music. When you start listening to live music, something just grows on you...I guess it’s the live energy of it I’m addicted to. When the audience is into the band it just generates a special buzz...and it’s highly addictive, you know? You get into that and you can never get enough where I’m concerned. Exactly! I’m quite heavily hooked myself. It’s the best part of this job, really. And as a musician, I also get music lessons whenever I go to work, as I have near-complete access to all these professionals. And if you really want to learn something, if you can get a pro to show you, you’ve got it made. It’s a vibe thing...and the band knows it and everybody in the room feels it...it’s so infectious. Speaking of that, do you have any favorite bands you wish to name? No, I really don’t. I mean, there are so many I’ve worked with and I like most all of them. A few of my favorites through the years are The Cate Brothers, of course, and Windy Austin. I even listen to Country & Western music sometimes, can you believe that?! A lot of people wouldn’t believe it! Well, hey, there’s a lot of great country out there. And some of the best musicians in the world happen to be country players, too. That’s a fact! And I get tired of the same old stuff. I like any kind of music if it’s done right and they’re into it. And especially live music to be honest. Through the years the club has burned several times. When did you have your first major fire? Right after I bought in, and it sucked! What really bothered me was the fact that so many people thought we’d burned it ourselves. Well, with a restaurant or club, the first place they look is usually the owners. No kidding! They really raked us over the coals about it, no pun intended. But we rebuilt and reopened in a matter of months...and everybody was really surprised, too! I guess they thought we’d just take the money and run to Acapulco with it or something. But we put every dime of the insurance and more into getting back open. I mean, it was my livelihood, you know? What about the second fire? Someone used a railroad flare and started it going. It was a real mess,

Two good ol’ boys in a Arkansas trailer park were sitting around talking one afternoon over a cold beer after getting off work at the WalMart. After a while the 1st guy says to the 2nd, “If’n I was to sneak over to your trailer Saturday & make love to your wife while you was off huntin’ and she got pregnant and had a baby, would that make us kin?” The 2nd guy crooked his head sideways for a minute, scratched his head, and squinted his eyes thinking real hard about the question. Finally, he says, “Well, I don’t know about kin, but it would make us even...” Two buddies were sharing drinks while discussing their wives. “Do you and your wife ever do it doggie style?” . “Well ... not exactly.” his friend replied, “She’s more into the trick dog aspect of it.” “Oh, I see, kinky, huh?” “Well ... not exactly ... I sit up and beg and she rolls over and plays dead.” I was at a friends house when one of their neighbor’s came up and knocked at the door. My friend’s son, about 9, opened the door. The guy at the door asked, “Is your dad or mom home?” ... “No, they went to town” said the boy. “How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?” asked the man. “No, he went with Mom and Dad” the boy answered. The man stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, and mumbling to himself. “I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one, or I can give Dad a message” said the boy. “Well,” the man at the door said uncomfortably, “I really wanted to talk to your Dad. It’s about your brother Howard getting my daughter Suzy pregnant”. The boy thought for a moment... “You would have to talk to Dad about that. I know he charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the pig, but I don’t know how much he charges for Howard. If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles, If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it, If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time, If you can take criticism and blame without resentment, If you can conquer tension without medical help, If you can relax without alcohol, If you can sleep without the aid of drugs, Then you are probably the family dog...

Deﬁnitions in our troubling world

SOCIALISM You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbour. COMMUNISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk. FASCISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk. NAZISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you. BUREAUCRATISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away. TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income. BAIN VENTURE CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for ﬁve cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public then buys your bull. SURREALISM You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead. A GREEK CORPORATION You have two cows. You borrow lots of euros to build barns, milking sheds, hay stores, feed sheds, dairies, cold stores, abattoir, cheese unit and packing sheds. You still only have two cows. A FRENCH CORPORATION You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows. A JAPANESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called a Cowkimona and market it worldwide. AN ITALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows, but you don’t know where they are. You decide to have lunch. A SWISS CORPORATION You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them. A CHINESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity. You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation. AN INDIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You worship them. A BRITISH CORPORATION You have two cows. Both are mad. AN IRAQI CORPORATION Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb the ** out of you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least you are now a Democracy. AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the ofﬁce and go for a few beers to celebrate. A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive... A SCOTTISH CORPORATION You have two cows, Both are owned by your neighbour, You declare independence, You have no cows.

Best of Burger (1949 - 1998)

in large crowds, there usually is a vacant buffer zone ‘round the malodorous “Goat” ... the Capricorn wails and moans ... “why, why must I always be alone?” “Take a bath and brush your teeth” answer the offended masses with upturned noses and watery eyes…….

St. Gypsy Woman

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Beware the coming of the Fall: those you may regard as friends may prove to be enemies and those whom you regard as enemies may turn out to be friends ... those whom you regard as Baptists may prove to be Unitarians ... above all avoid using the word “whom” in a sentence ... for even when correctly employed, “whom” may be regarded as pretentious by those who prefer to use words like “them,” “those,” “you-uns,” and “we-all…….”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The future may hold great ﬁnancial improvement in the affairs of Taurus ... watch for the “Publisher’s Clearing House” material in the mail ... Ed McMahon may have good news for you ... also put $10 on “Blackie’s Butt” to win in the fourth ... pick up all cushions on every couch you see and look for change, check the coin-return on all pay phones and vending machines ... recycle all paper, aluminum, glass, plastic, and old clothes ... should all this fail to bring ﬁnancial reward, get a job, or borrow money from relatives ... and remember, Gypsy Woman sees all ... knows all..…..

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Much has been said by the Gypsy Woman about Gemini ... that they are all kind, compassionate, generous, intelligent, insightful, fair, beautiful, wise, trustworthy, responsible, and just down-right pleasurable to be around goes without saying ... but you know, when you break it all down, the best thing about a Gemini is ... we’re humble, modest, selﬂess, charitable, uncomplaining, non-judgmental, incapable of pettiness, completely without malicious intent, and above all unaffected ... man, it’s great to be alive and be a Gemini.……

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Snakes, buzzards, rats, skunks, moles, pole cats, jackals, hyenas, poison toads, snails, leeches, slugs, tapeworms, harmful bacteria and viruses, serial killers, kleptomaniacs, and dog catchers are all Cancers. Also you’re gonna lose your job, nearly die from the ﬂu, and come down with bursitis of the nose ... have a nice day!

He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals... ---Benjamin Franklin 54

LEO (July 23-August 22) Don’t be fooled by the suave, urbane, and “’90s kinda guy (gal)” attitude projected by the Leo in a social setting ... the fact that the Leo is about as lionesque as a bunny rabbit should give you the hint you need to get down to the “Leo-Bone” ... remember Ernest T. Bass on “Mayberry?” ... remember Jethro Bodine on “Beverly Hillbillies?” remember Boris Badenov on “Rocky & Bullwinkle?” Leos All…….

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) The Virgin - yuk, yuk - most Virgos have the morals of a mink ... there are some exceptions but none comes to mind ... the trouble with most Virgos is that they pretend to be the picture of virtue until they get you alone ... then it’s whips, chains, Wesson oil, video tapes, acting out fantasies and dress up games ... next time you are approached by a Virgo, better have your mind open, your mouth closed and your best disguise on or you may ﬁnd yourself on “America’s Kinkiest home Videos…….”

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) The Water Bearer, Aquarius, is to be avoided at all costs, especially in South America, India, and South Louisiana ... bring me water, Gunga-Din ... “Bite my sarong” he replies ... bearer of one of life’s most precious commodities, the Aquarius is as likely to Ex-Lax your aqua-Vita as to spit in your stewed prunes…….

PISCES (February 19-March 20) The Fish ... scaly, slimy, stinky, bottom sucker ... eater of yukkie things best left unspoken ... likely to enter the ﬁeld of politics, siding sales, or may work in the phone sex industry.......

Dear Flabby LIBRA (September 23-October 22) “The Balance” - so called because of an irritating propensity to fence-straddle or be namby-pamby, wishy-washy, and generally indecisive ... when the Libra votes, either all levers are left un-pulled or it’s one for, one against ... if you wanna have some fun with the Libra, just tell ‘em they can choose between having a “Midas Touch” and a two-week shopping spree at the Denver Mint…….

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) Vilest, most venomous and potentially lethal of all signs, it’s no coincidence that the Scorpio’s behavior is likened to that of the desert scorpion ... beware the Scorpio in business and personal affairs ... the Scorpio is always ready to strike a killing blow and leave its victim uneaten ... also their breath is pretty bad…….

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21) The Archer in ancient days was thought to be noble, honest, and a protector of the weak and innocent, but as years passed, the archer became a paid lackey to the evil power mongers of the corrupt courts of Europe ... the Archer became the paid “hit-man” for any and all who could pay the price ... whether the victim be guilty or nay ... in modern times, most Sagittarians become lawyers or bill collectors…….

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19) Sign of the Goat ... outcasts of society, the Capricorn is shunned by lepers, plague-sufferers, and yes, even Amway salesmen and IRS agents ... the Capricorn must carry rancid meat in pockets so that vultures will associate with him ... even

Dear Flabby, Both of my arms are longer than the other and my feet have thumbs...lately if I don’t get a banana or two every hour or so I get an uncontrollable urge to pound my chest and search for lice on the head of the nearest member of my family...I’ve quit jogging and have taken up swinging from light pole to telephone line just to get a little exercise...the hair on my body has gotten coarse and wiry and it’s growing all over me instead of just the usual spots...I find myself grunting and gesturing instead of talking and last night I was unable to sleep a wink on account of an overwhelming need to hold Jessica Lange in the palm of my hand...my emotions are limited to a hatred for small military airplanes and an all-encompassing empathy for King Kong. Please advise as soon as possible. My knuckles are raw from dragging the ground and my kids are making a fortune in ill-gotten gains charging the neighborhood kids to come in the house and see me lolling about in my cage...if I don’t get some relief soon I’m gonna have to migrate to more heavily vegetated feeding grounds and change the family name to Goodall. signed, Silverback Who Wants His Identity Back Dear Silver, I certainly hope that you aren’t monkeying around with ol’ Flabby. (Ha! Get it?) Anyway, what’s a big ape like you whining for? (Hee hee, did it again.) If you really are about to go bananas, oops, try this: place a “situation wanted” ad in the classifieds for anyone seeking workers to clear property that is overgrown with undergrowth. I hear a great ape has to eat 40 to 50 bushels of roughage a day just to keep his stomach from growling. This way you can make a good living in groundskeeper fees, save on the family grocery bill, and avoid those miserable bouts of constipation that a low-fiber diet can lead to. If all else fails, maybe you could get work in a remake of “Every Which Way But Loose” or “Bonzo Grows Up” or something. How about doing impersonations. Try Ed Asner or maybe Bull from “Night Court.” I hope I’ve been of some help and watch out for greasy grape vines and costume rental repo agents. signed, It Don’t Mean A Thing If You Ain’t Got A Swing Flabzan.... Dear Flabby, When I grow up I wanna be just like you. signed, Albert Schweitzer Einstein Bach Redford Dear Dude, Don’t you never change, you compassionate, intelligent, good-looking fellow, you. signed, Humble-Flab
