WAKARUSA 2014

Music and Dancing and Bears Oh My... ---Meredith Mashburn True to its roots Wakarusa continues to deliver diverse musical acts, vendors, art installations and so much more. With amazing headliners like String Cheese Incident, Umphrey’s McGee, The Flaming Lips, STS9 and Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros: Mulberry mountain all but promised a fantastic festival experience. Going in, I couldn’t help but flashback to the torrential rain of 2013. On Thursday a storm rolled over the mountain as I was photographing the now iconic Wakarusa sign. I saw young campers putting up a cheap tent ,with a tiny plastic tarp, that barely covered the top. As I shook my head, and thought to myself, “this must be your first festival on the mountain,” I see an easy-up flying around just to my right. Then as if by magic the clouds parted and the mountain was spared this year. Besides a few showers here and there, the weather was quite lovely. I was excited to see The Flaming Lips for the first time and String Cheese Incident again after almost thirteen years. A few acts caught me by surprise: Moon Taxi, Caroline Rose and St. Paul and The Broken Bones to name a few. Watching Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips was like being inside an art installation, inside a rainbow, surrounded by weirdness of all kinds. Coyne started off the act by tossing a larger than life “Fuck Yeah Wakarusa” balloon into the crowd, immediately followed by a variety of inflatable aliens and other objects, while surrounded by people dressed as rainbows, rocks and other fancy things. Did I mention he wore a spandex muscle suit with a strategically placed silver pompom? It starts to get confusing…haha “starts to get confusing, I said” when Coyne performs a wedding live on stage for two adorable fans. All this happens as canons blow confetti all over the crowd. As The Flaming Lips start their set with “She Don’t Use Jelly,” I can’t help but feel like rainbows and unicorns really do exist. It has been more than a decade since I have seen String Cheese Incident and I was so excited to relive the memories of my misspent youth. Once a cheesehead always a cheesehead I suppose. They played an incredible four-hour set that brought back so many memories of road trips with friends near and dear to me. Their set was as eclectic as the Wakarusa lineup itself with songs that ranged from “Colorado Bluebird Sky” to “Boogie on Reggae Woman” to lyrics from “Lose Yourself” off of Eminem’s autobiographical movie “8 mile.” Thursday night I was delightfully entertained by the musical styling of Caroline Rose. Caroline Rose is a gospel, country, and blues poet who I just can’t pigeonhole into one genre or style. She sings a song, while tapping her toe on a tambourine, while playing guitar and the old harmonica. Ok, maybe not all at the same time, but I was absolutely captivated by her performance. Friday Afternoon the Backwoods stage was blown away by St. Paul and The Broken Bones. The front man, Paul Janeway, transforms from an average everyday fellow into a southern soul and gospel dynamo on stage. Captivated was the crowd, as he sang his heart and soul out. I not only recommend that everyone check this band out, but do yourself a favor, and see them live. They will not disappoint. Speaking of energetic dynamos, Andy Frasco’s Saturday afternoon performance on the Backwoods Stage was crazy fun

Flaming Lips to say the least. Frasco feeds off of the energy of the crowd and vice versa. Cultivating a kinetic synergy with the crowd Andy demands the barricade, separating himself from the crowd, to be moved closer to the stage. Frasco is a party blues crazy ass front man, conductor, instigator and this year the emcee for Wakarusa. When asked about his recent role as Wakarusa emcee for 2014 Frasco said, “It was amazing and surreal. I never thought I would be up on the main stage of Wakarusa in front of 20,000+ people telling jokes and introducing my favorite bands like Michael Franti, Edward Sharpe, Flaming Lips and many more. It difﬁdently was a highlight in my life so far...especially when Wayne from the Lips asked me to introduce them again because the crowd was so pumped up.” Being an emcee and all around instigator is not the only thing new with Frasco. His album Half A Man was recently released under his new label Fun Machine Records. When asked about the goals for his new label Frasco says, “We basically want to help bands who have great live shows to keep them on the road promoting their music. I feel live music is so important to the music industry. I want to protect it.” Just coming off of an overseas tour Frasco tells it like it is, we all want a getaway from our day-to-day routine. Frasco says, “It’s amazing how universal music is. You don’t have to even speak their language to get the energy out of them. This

is why I live on the road. People are all the same.. No matter what ethnicity you are. They want a getaway from there day-to-day routine, and music does that for them. I’m blessed to take them out of their heads (away from their phones) for a couple hours and make them live in the moment and smile. If I can do that everyday then I’ve done my job and fulﬁlling my destiny in life...making people happy.” Wakarusa 2014 was one not to miss. That being said, let me pass on some helpful tips I have learned over the years to make your stay more comfortable. First and foremost do not forget the Goldbond powder, because the chafﬁng can get REAL during a hot humid Arkansas summer. Do not forget to drink water folks. Mulberry Mountain is bear country so put your food in your car at night. We are guests in their home not the other way around. Pace yourself and try the crepes! ---MM

An interview with Brett Mosiman The man who puts it all together... ---Peter Read NF: How was Waka? Brett Mosiman: It was much more pleasant than last year. Seriously, I think that the whole 2-1/2 to 3 weeks we were there we actually had more rain this year than last year. It was much different. It never rained during the event from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. and it was never severe. It had a totally different impact on the event, which was really not much. Other than that things seemed to go quite smoothly this year by all accounts. Quite a few people have told me that the rain in the morning was really pretty nice. Yeah…it keeps the dust down and kept it somewhat cooler in general. Weather is weather and you can’t spend your time worrying about it. You just deal with it…fans, bands, production people and all the producers do a great job of that. It was a really good year for us. I’ve heard a whole bunch of really fine comments… Yeah…frankly, because of the weather last year was a bit of a struggle and not that pleasant. But this year we seem to have got back all the goodwill and mojo that we had built up. Most opinions I have valued mostly was that it was the best ever. You have a way with understatement, Brett. Overall, what were the highlights to you? I think the production was stellar. The revival on the main stage and satellite in particular were excellent. One of the things I was really proud of this year was that we made a big impact was that the art community. We had a great, great art community this year that showed in all the different projects on the mountain. I think we gave out almost two dozen grants to various artists. That’s something I’ve really always wanted to do that I think we finally accomplished this year. And that will grow each year. If you rounded that corner and saw the 40-foot 3D faces in the trees and you’d just say “Wow!” The first time I saw them and then realized just how animated they were and watched them for quite a while and it was quite entertaining I realized just how very cool they were. And you know the tunnels through the satellite and the flying glowing jellyfish and just the art everywhere. That was one of the big things this year. It’s kind of the Burning Man way where everybody contributes something…and I think we finally seeded that to where it will grow and become ever more fantastic over the years. I thought you did a great job of preparing that mountain from last year. After the mudstock everyone wondered what y’all would be able to do… We did do a lot of preparations. We did a lot of road work and gravel work and drainage work. We hired engineers and upgraded culverts and power supplies and all. The mountain was much more prepared this year…and so were we. Overall we were better prepared to address the issues of moisture and its effects. We didn’t lose a single set this year, even though it rained every day. And you ask the campers and they probably think ‘I’ll take a little rain here and there verses 100-plus degree heat.’ The fact is the first 3 or 4 years were incredibly perfect, but then we caught a couple of wet years and that’s just how it goes sometimes. Overall there were no complaints this year. How close are you to having everything prepared for Harvest? The bands have been booked and the schedules been done so we’re all set. I know you’ve got Harvest coming up. But what’s next on your list? Well, we’re pretty sure we’re going to do Thunder On The Mountain again next year later in June…but the announcement is still a few weeks off. Now you do a lot of other festivals too. Whatever do you do to keep busy? I help book a few other festivals and have a couple of nightclubs too. The Bottleneck is going into its 30th year, and about eight years ago we opened The Crossroads in Kansas City that’s just about my favorite place ever. That was from me going to SXSW every year and falling in love with stuff and about eight years ago we

just built our own in downtown Kansas City. I think we’ve had about fifty events this year…everybody from 311 to Bruce Hornsby, Vampire Weekend and a lot of amazing people this year. Indeed. You’re keeping these derelict musicians off the streets, Brett. I thing Society owes you for that. As far as I’m concerned Society needs way more music events, that’s for sure. I’ve talked with a lot of people who’ve been going to Wakarusa for years now, and across the board they’re saying that this was the best one so far. I appreciate that…but I need to point out that we couldn’t do it without the thousands of people who make this happen. How many people? I’d say there are at least a thousand volunteers… probably another 1000 staff and another 1500 musicians at least. It takes 3 or 4 thousand people to pull it off. If you think about it we triple the size of the county for that week and we have all the amenities, whether it’s the electric service or the water service or sewage service or trash service…to essentially accommodate this size of event. I’ve told you before…you have really changed our music world here in Arkansas. Doing a rock and roll publication here in the Bible Belt hasn’t been that easy to do. I do think we’ve helped the music scene in Arkansas, and several people have commented that it really was a big shot in the arm for the whole scene. In my opinion Arkansas’ image worldwide has dramatically improved because of your festivals, and I hope you realize how much that is appreciated. To be honest, I think that the scenery and the geography and all, and the fact that probably 80% of our customers are from out of state…they’re just not accustomed to thinking of Arkansas as a musical destination…Arkansas comes off very well for a firsttime visitor. The roads in and the waterfalls and the mountains are something that a lot of people wouldn’t expect. This year, in particular, we all had a great sense of eagerness. Most of the feedback I’ve heard is that it didn’t feel like that meatgrinder that sometimes the 24/7 Waka usually feels like. It felt a lot more relaxed… and for the staff took on a lot more of the Harvest feel. I guess that means we’re doing something right. I hope so… That’s the general consensus. This was our 6th year here, and the thing that I always like to point out, verses any other business – in my bar business or your paper business is that if something goes awry – when you get a complaint – you can fix it tomorrow. Thing is, we’re literally only open for business here 4 days a year…meaning that we have 361 days before we can even attempt to make anything right. The learning curve is often-times quite steep. We’re out in the middle of nowhere with very little chance ‘til next year to fix something. Is there anything further about those upgrades you mentioned, like building the tunnel beneath the highway to the other campgrounds or anything? There are actually quite a number of things on the table, and there should be several official announcements in the next couple of months. It’s pretty exciting stuff, actually. Basically, with any luck, we’ll be able to do five or six events on the mountain each year instead of just two or three. We truly believe that Mulberry Mountain is one of the top one or two festival sites in the country and hope to really expand on that. It helps to have the mountains and the forest and waterfall and trees instead of a cornfield. It is unique to be on private land out in the middle of nowhere and be able to have music until sunrise every day… ---PR Photos by Meredith Mashburn

First off, I wish to thank Susie Cowan for the great gift of acknowlegement in giving me a Legends Of Arkansas award. It was quite touching. I’m not one for awards and such and feel entirely grateful. Ultimately, I feel that if I do my job right it’s an award in and of itself – and hey, with this job I get to go to good music shows, take pictures of pretty people having fun, and get to feel the fun everyone is having. Indeed, at times I find myself feeling a bit guilty getting this much sheer pleasure and calling it my job. But thank you Susie…from the bottom of my li’l peanut heart… I caught a very fine show recently at the Rev Room. Blues diva Samantha Fish really rocked that nightclub. I’ve seen her before on a number of occasions, but this evening she really pulled out all the stops. I was sweating as much as the band by the end of it. The Rev Room checks in this issue with an exciting roster of live music. Look for The 17th Floor, Tantric, JB & The Moonshine Band, Tyler & The Tribe, Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights, The Soft White Sixties, Bart Crow, Whiskey Myers, Stephen Neeper & The Wild Hearts, Demonhunter, Special Guests, The Tragic Thrills, Air Traffic Controller and much more. See the Sound section for all the dates and artists. In the restaurant next door, Rumba, they serve some excellent Island cuisine every day of the week. Rumba also sports a cool deck facing the river, complete with full menu and bar service. 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. Stickyz serves great food, but the music, of course, is the mainstay of this nightclub and always has been. Set to appear in the coming weeks are Tales From The South, Mountain Sprout, Foley’s Van, Ben Kweller, Native Lights, Boom Kinetic, Brown Soul Shoes, Stooges Brass Band, Stolen Faces, Lincoln Durham, Phil Hamilton, Andy Frasco and a bunch more. Both Stickyz and The Rev Room are on board, too, with our Come Together Tornado fundraiser project so watch for details as they unfold.

Rooster’s is one of the Fort’s late-nite clubs. In the coming weeks you can catch Everfade, Damon & Rocky, Down Day, Jug Hill Annie, 59 Junction, Bombdiggity, Glam-R-Us and more. Rooster’s features several levels inside the club, as well as a very cool upstairs outdoor deck that overlooks the infamous Garrison Avenue. (Many people don’t realize it, but Rooster’s is such a cool facility mainly because it was designed by Bill Neumeier back in the day…) For bookings contact (479)783-COCK (2625).......

Fort Smith, Arkansas, has become one of the hottest music scenes in the Altered State. Indeed, a stroll down Garrison Avenue brings you within earshot of people making live music everywhere. No joke… What’s more, the energy is totally contagious and everyone you pass tends to be smiling and walking to the actual beat of the closest band playing. Major KUDOS to Bill Neumeier for his stellar 2014 concert series at the Rib Room. Even though the rumor last Spring was that he would not be doing shows – a silly notion if you know Bill – this season he seems to have pulled out all the stops. A partial list of some of the notables thus far this year includes Blackberry Smoke, Winger, The Casey Donahew Band, Randy Rogers, Scott Stapp and a lot more. Coming up look for shows with Trapt, Stoney LaRue, Monte Montgomery, Days Of The New with Lynum, Whiskey Myers, Cody Johnson with Sam Riggs & The Night People among others. These are just the bigger shows, too. The Rib Room always fills in the calendar with some of the best regional acts as well: artists like Tyrannosaurus Chicken, The Warewolves, 17th Floor, The Klocks, Fly By Radio… And with Roger Koensigsedar back at the board doing sound the stage really comes to life. With any luck the weather will allow The Rib Room to push this season late into Fall, too, as Bill tends to take advantage of the nice – read, Usable – weather. After all, this is an open-air venue, you know… For bookings at the Rib Room call Bill at (479)494-RIBS (7427)……. Webby Ds will be the site of a Come Together benefit on Sunday, August 3rd. The music will start at 7 p.m., and bring a list of five excellent acts to that stage: Tyrannosaurus Chicken, Moonshine Mafia, The Blue Fiddle, Jeff Kearney & Friends (Jeff is the leader of 1 Oz. Jig), The Warewolves, and Tom Ware & Company. Tickets are a mere $5 at the door. All the proceeds,

Old Town checks in with Indigo 27, River City, Bab Affect. Strange Derangers, Critical Mass, Method To Madness, Josh Thomas, Rockin’ Horse Rebellion, Justin Thurmond, Bad Affect, Sunshine Vane and more. Old Town is open every day and there’s seldom a cover charge. Call (479)782-1999 for information....... Out on South Hwy. 71, Beef O’Brady’s checks in this month with a ﬁne calendar of music. On August 2 will be Lady D’s Musical Birthday, which will be a beneﬁt for the Children’s Emergency Shelter. Look for a feature on this elsewhere in this issue. Other shows in the next few weeks include appearances by Bill Flashpoler, Heavens To Betsy, The Trouble Makers and more.. The food here is quite good, too…and the atmosphere is comfortable. For bookings call Kim at (479)646-9464…….

Monte Montgomery

something worth checking out. Check our Sound pages out for the dates, of course. For bookings call Jim Webb or Tim Yates at (479)494-5661……. R. Landry’s is rocking right along these days. This music venue is primarily a restaurant, of course, but good live music is a permanent part of the menu. Of course, if you knew Natalie Wallace you’d understand. She’s perhaps even more hooked on the energy of live music than we are. Set to appear in the next several weeks are Jamie Lou, The Gary Hutchison Trio, Keith Nicholson, Grant Pierson, Jon Dooly, After 5 Jazz, the incredible Patrice Pike, Tom Ware & Friends, The Mark Alberson Experience, Willin N Able and the Nightﬂying 2014 SXSW showcase artist Wendy Colonna. Whew!! And all this without a cover charge, too! To reach R. Landry’s by phone, call (479)7832505…….

Moonshine Maﬁa

of course, will go to the victims of the May tornadoes that wiped out the towns of Mayﬂower and Vilonia. By the way, we’re only collecting cash at this beneﬁt, rather than food and clothing, etc. (They have all that…) Coming up at Webby Ds are the likes of 1 Oz. Jig, The Matt Dodd Band, Foley’s Van, Isayah’s Allstars, Down North/Hollow Valley Funk, Framing The Red, The

Tyrannosaurus Chicken

Hosty Duo, Matt Reeves, Andy Frasco, Stiff Necked Fools, Brohter Bagman and a whole bunch more. Indeed, the good folks at Webbys are nearly as hooked on rock ‘n’ roll as we are…and like the moniker of this edition, there really ain’t no cure… The club is open 7 days a week, and there’s always

Dori: Get what you deserve And deserve what you get...

---Dori Colston My dear Musicians, some of you don’t think you’re getting what you deserve in pay for the gigs you’re playing. And my fellow venue owners, some of you are hosting live music but you feel like you’re paying out too much or the bands/musicians just aren’t bringing in the crowd for the money you’re putting out. I GET IT. After 12 years as a talent buyer for my venue and a handful of festivals, 3 as a booking agent and manager for National Acts, I assure you, that I “get it”. It’s a high stakes business, this thing we do. I’m not just using my words freely when I say “business” either. Musicians, first let me say that even though I may not be a musician, I understand the time and money you put into your music. At any level in a performers career, whether you’re playing coffee shops on the weekends while you hold down a full time job, or you’re playing amphitheater’s with thousands of fans watching you 3 nights out of the week, I have seen the logistics and the hard work it takes to climb the ladder in this business. Just to give some perspective, if an independent musician (whether they have a “day job or not”) were to invest the time in a “regular” job that they were into practicing just for an hour a day, they would lose a little over $2200 a year at today’s minimum wage. Let’s not even go into the thousands of dollars invested yearly in instruments and recording, printing, and distributing their albums. It takes as much and more than a living wage to hon and support a music business/musician/band. And Venues, you’ve worked your butt’s off too! It’s a huge financial beast at least 10 - 20 times what (Musician’s bills are) to coordinate. Live venue owners have music for specific reasons, the biggest of which is to earn more money by bringing in repeat and new customers that will pay a cover and/or drink/eat. Ultimately, if the Musician’s don’t bring a crowd that spends money, Venue’s can’t afford to hire you back no matter how much they enjoy/appreciate your music. That’s the key many of My Musician friends are missing, can you and do you bring a crowd? When all is said and done, Venue’s may love your music and appreciate your talent, but they need you to bring in a crowd so that they can pay you and you can make them money. It’s a task that I believe both the venue and the musician should share. In a recent email chain I was in with a talent buyer, the Talent Buyer called the venue and musician relationship a “temporary relationship” that is entered into in order to make a show successful. I agree. So, out of mutual desire for a successful show you both must promote/market the show. It’s something that is so often overlooked by The Musician and even The Venue, that it’s scary. Promote yourself and your events. What people don’t know about, they can’t enjoy. It’s as simple as that. The best acts I have worked with gain their crowds and therefore their pay, by doing some key things. First, do the simple and cheap things like sending the venue posters, creating facebook event and then inviting your friends to the event. Also, put the event on all social media sites, call your friends, and even email/text blast your fan list(always collect emails from your fans!! When one social media site dies, so does your following but emails rarely change!). Another few things include making sure to send over promotional items to the venue within 4-8 weeks of the date for use on their websites. Be sure to call/email and ask the venues what other items they might need for website, commercial, or social media use(video and audio clips, pics, bio’s, etc.) If you and the venue have done the things above, it’s a short list of possible things I can think of that can lead to a low turn out/pay out on a show: the band really isn’t that appealing to the venue’s audience(sorry, but it is plausible), the venue isn’t suited for you(sorry, it’s also plausible), the cover or guarantee is not high enough, My Musician friends drowned out his crowd base by playing too many gigs in the same vicinity close together, it was a fluke, or he hasn’t built up his crowd base in the area yet. I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir in many cases. I hope this can enlighten my Musician friends and fellow venue owners that have had their frustrations with these issues. Good Luck! INDIE-AGENCY UPDATE: An update on the Roster. Congratulations are in order to Tyrannosaurus Chicken for their incredible showing at The Chicago Blues Festival!!! We are very proud of these guys for earning an invitation to the festival. More Congrats are in order for Wendy Colonna who is also making huge moves in her career! She has been featured in a Huffington Post Article, made the Texas Buddy Magazine cover, wrote and recorded an original song for Coca-Cola’s Balloon Commercial (with over 115,000 youtube hits!) that is now out in theaters and on TV, and has been featured on NPR’s Beale Street Caravan! Way to go Wendy! Wendy will be returning to the Fort on September 6 and will do a show at, where else, Landry’s... (Imagine that!) Finally, I want to give a shout out to the newest edition to the Indie-pendent Agency Roster, GOODING. Welcome! GOODING is a super cool Rock Band with a hint of Americana based out of Los Angeles, CA that originally hails from Witchita, KS. You may have caught these guys peeling your face off with some intense guitar licks at The Rib Room or even in a stripped down acoustic set at R. Landry’s. Be on the lookout for dates in the region by the end of the year. ---DC Contact Dori Colston and The Indie-Pendent Agency at (479)739-4199.......

and she still has a touch of that, but this collection showed a side I hadn’t seen before. I think she was channeling Carole King there for a bit, but that’s cool. Think of a great pop song done by someone who is more of a blues singer. She plays the piano, a Wurlitzer organ, and a sax on this disc (tenor). She has an amazing group of people behind or beside her but way too many to list (e. g. there are four drummers) and she wrote like seven of the eleven songs on the album while having boogie-woogie fever. Go see www.deannabogart.com for the lowdown.

Let me tell you how this is going to be. I am going to use this platform to speak out against injustice, everywhere and anywhere. I don’t know how familiar you readers are with our prison system, commonly referred to as “corrections” departments or facilities, both state run and privately owned and operated. It appears to be the fastestgrowing industry in America and harbors more citizenry than any other nation in the world, except maybe China – hard to say - and many of those incarcerated are in for drug crimes, including possession of marijuana, a “drug” that is gradually being legalized across the nation. Total insanity, right? Not only insane, but also ineffective, as crime rates rise and fall. Contact your representatives and request they take some action to change this pitiful situation. And remember: no less a personage than Jesus Christ himself spoke of feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and visiting the ill and imprisoned. I’m down with that. I’m worn out. I just got back from a week on Dauphin Island down in Mobile Bay – I was in a nice place facing the Gulf, so got plenty of sun and fresh breeze (but no skeeter bites because I use Avon Skin So Soft, which beats the hell out of Deep Woods Off, etc). Anyway, it was storming here before I left and I guess I dragged it with me, because after a few days of lovely weather, we got a couple days of storms that blew the crap out of everything: shelters; trees; power transformers and lines. I was able to spend a lot of time with Vivian and Norah, Jacob and Sean (and Devon’s perfected margarita) but, for the ﬁrst time in the ﬁfteen years I’ve been making this trip, did not get wet and I used to be in the water two or three times a day for hours. One reason I’m worn out is simply all that driving – another second-nature skill gone. The last member of the Navajo Codetalkers has passed. Chester Nez was 93. He and his cohort used their Dineh language to construct an unbreakable code during World War II and believe it or not, that code was still in use through the Korean Campaign. Character actor Eli Walloch has died at 98. He was in too many movies to mention, from spaghetti westerns to Hollywood hits. Charles Barsotti will not be drawing any more of his mordant cartoons that appeared regularly in slick magazines, mainly “The New Yorker.” He passed on at 80. Luckily for us, that mag has a few stored away, so we’ll see his work in the future. And Kasey Kasem of “America’s Top Forty” radio shows signed off for good at 82. Meanwhile, Spain’s King Juan Carlos abdicated in favor of his son; Francisco Franco is still dead. A piano player, bandleader, arranger, composer, and who knows what else has

left the scene. He played with just about all the jazz greats of the Fifties and Sixties and influenced many who went on to stardom in the Seventies and beyond. In fact he initiated a movement away from Forties be bop to what came to be “hard” bop. Horace Silver was 85. Don Zimmer died. If any one single human being ever personified the game of baseball, it was Zim: player, coach, manager, brawler. I don’t know how old he was. He was ageless, as young as the spirit of the game itself, but with the ancient wisdom of an old soul. Chuck Noll has died. The only coach to win four Super Bowls (all with the Pittsburg Steelers) was 82. Michael Schmidt, a photographer whose work has been shown in art museums around the world, has snapped his last shot at the tender age of 68. I love his B&W shots. Gene Wirges was a Morrilton-area newspaperman who fought the corrupt Conway County Sheriff’s (Marlin Hawkins) administration tooth and nail for many years. It brought national attention back in the day. Wirges passed recently at 86. It ain’t all death and destruction though. There’s a fella from Benton making it big on the zydeco scene in NOLA as we speak. Well, we ain’t perzacle speakin’ --- we more like I’m writin’ and you’re readin’ – but you get my drift. Check out Bruce Barnes … or, uh, Sunpie. I know the difference between loneliness and the desperation of having vexing people around. I know the tug of popular culture and the resistance of agoraphobia. I know the ins and the outs, but not which I am (without which I am not?). In the end I don’t know shit. I just pretend. Or, as one of the many songwriters I’ve reviewed in these pages sang: “Look at me / Look at me / Look at me!” I’ll cop to being an egomaniac, but with good reason. E. g. I don’t refer to myself in the third person, but I do talk to myself. I have a very close relationship. Ed rents a lot of space in my head, but that’s okay too. He keeps me from getting too stoopid. Whatever, don’t worry about me, even though I’m so poor I swapped clothes with a beggar on the street and came away the better clad. I got a father’s day card from my son with a self portrait of him giving the double middle finger. I’m proud of the boy. He’s awesomely handsome and physically sculpted as any statue of David or Adonis; every bit as talented and maladjusted as his dead half brother, Dan. My bad. Speaking of bad, I washed my iPhone down by da gulf o’ mexico and got bleached out by AT&T. They used to provide the best telephone service in the world and now they provide third-world service at princely prices. Anybody know of a reasonably priced cell phone service? High speed internet? See, here’s the thing. I don’t sit at the computer for

NIGHTFLYING.COM • AIN’T NO CURE... • 2014

hours and surf the ‘net. I use the computer as a word processor and to keep in touch with some folks via email. The phone is so folks can contact me, but I’m thinking seriously of going back to my days of no telephone, period. I found a cicada in my mailbox. I’m not talking about a husk or a shell, I mean a live cicada. I picked it up and it started to buzz in my hand, so I let it go and it flew into the big boxwood bush in my front yard. Hope he or she finds a mate. Wonder could I make any money taking odds on that … or on whether I’ll be here to see that next hatch. If you like music (and that’s a given or you wouldn’t be reading this), try to find a DVD called “Soundies.” It’s a compilation of the earliest music videos if you will, 1940s stuff that obviously influenced the music of the next generation, played on machines called Panorams. Astounding as well as entertaining. And I read a wonderful essay by Nat Hentoff recently about the value of teaching jazz to kids. Amazingly enough, it was in “Hustler” magazine. AMERICAN LIONS VOLUME I American Lions indie Good stuff! And it’s homegrown. I know very little about the band, as far as who plays what and where they’re from, but I do see that this disc was recorded at the renowned Blue Chair Recording Studio and the band members, being Elliott S. Cotten, David Velek, Jason Velek, and Jordan Ahne, wrote all the songs. I’ve heard they’re from Conway, or at least somewhere in Central Arkansas. I know they play with verve and joy at making their own music. I both admire and envy their talent. I don’t find any contact info, but I bet if you’z to go to americanlions.com or something like that, you’d find ‘em.

JUST A WISH AWAY Deanna Bogart Blind Pig Oh, I’ve reviewed this lady before and let me tell you, she just keeps getting better. I think I compared her to Bonnie Raitt before

BLUEZ OF MY SOUL Dexter Allen Deep Rush Oh yeah, this is not only the blues but, well, remember the joke in “The Blues Brothers” about “we have both kinds of music: country AND western?” Here we have rhythm AND blues as well as a touch of good old-fashioned soul, not to mention that he was playing bass guitar for his father’s gospel group at the age of twelve. Dexter Allen can play and sing with the best of ‘em, brother. Write him at P. O. Box 2705, Jackson MS 39207, or call 601-4561715. For booking, go to bluesouthentertainment.com. I especially like the line about “if you don’t want to come out and play with me, I’ll play with myself.” Reminds me of a joke Ed once told me. Allen toured the world with Bobby Rush (founder of Deep Rush Records) and then went out on his own, singing, playing guitar and bass and keys, gathering all sorts of accolades and awards, including recognition from the Mississippi State Senate a few months ago.

BLUES CENTRAL Daddy Mack Blues Band Inside Sounds Yep. This is the second time I’ve been called upon to write a few words about Daddy Mack Orr, so here they be: He’s a mack daddy, for sure, got that Memphis Blues sound all the way down in his soul and ain’t afraid to let it out in concert with a few other fellas, such as the Bonners: James on rhythm guitar and Harold on bass, plus drummer, percussionist Fast Eddie Lester. A whole panoply of people played on this album: Candice Ivory, backing vocals and percussion; Ori Noftoly, guitar; Carl Wolfe, sax and clarinet plus horn arrangements; EJ Dyce, trumpet; Fleetis Hannah, trombone; Paul Brown, organ; Eric Hughes, harmonica; Matt Isbell, harmonica and guitar; Eddie Dottel, backing vocals, some of the arranging, and all the song writing and production (along with Wally Ford).

duties with Justin Nix, who plays “smooth and funky bass groove” and “sweet ass vocal harmonies.” Leave us not leave out Roger Schmidt, who plays piano, B-3, and “The Glue.” Then there’s David “G-Love” Glover, percussionist, guitarist, and harmony vocalist. This was recorded in Ashville, North Carolina at Echo Mountain Recording Studios and is just damned ﬁne. Ray Wylie Hubbard kicked in some hep on one cut. Y’all really need to check ‘em out.

THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE Johnny Searfoss indie This is but a single, a sweet love song, that is available through CD Baby, iTunes, or Amazon.com and will be part of an album to be released later this summer. He has an eponymous album out already that is the subject of an upcoming review. JOHNNY SEARFOSS Johnny Searfoss indie Hey, how different this music is from what I heard on that single from his upcoming album. This is much more blues-rock, grittier and more rocking. It’s not that rock ‘n’ roll is the only way to dance, but it is the best way (waltzes be damned). This guy plays some hot guitar and sings well-crafted songs. Kudos. He is ably accompanied by drummer Nick Lauro, keyboardist Matt McGasco, and harmonicaplaying backup vocalist Joe Bogwist. Let me tell you, when I heard the ﬁrst strains of “Sleepwalk” I thought ‘oh no’ but he does a credible version. I mean, let’s face it: he can’t be both Santo AND Johnny, but oh yes he can. And I think that’s his only cover, although his original “Roll Me Over” mirrors a classic dirty ditty done by Rusty Warren: “Roll me over / In the clover / Lay me down /Do me again.” He also extemporizes in a very Spanish style before he veers into rock on one track. I like his music and the fact that he dedicated this album to his father. I look forward to the new album, which is supposed to come out at the end of this summer. THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE The Last Ten Seconds of Life Invivo AJ was going to review this for me but went back to Texas instead. I think it’s a bunch of crap, but for those who like loud power chords and lyrics growled rather than sung, well, maybe that’s their cup o’ tea, but deﬁnitely not mine. People pay for this shit?

NEW CREATURE Teribal Anamal indie Crazy! Get down with Teribal Anamal. Get into this guitar-driven retro rock music performed by Ryan (bass and vox), Stephanie (guitar and vox), and Chalky (drums and vox). Even if they can’t spell worth a damn, they play some raw, hard-rockin’ music. Luckily, I took Latin in high school, so I know what vox means. E pluribus unum too. Find out more at http://teribalanamal.bandcamp.com or www. facebook.com/teribalanamal.

HARVEST Street Level indie There’s some pretty good interesting music here and, if you listen long enough, you’ll even get a sermon. Go to www.streetlevel.org for further data.

GONE BY Ozon indie This is just a four-song ep and one of them is a U2 number. The rest were writ by Ozon with lyrics by Eden (guitar, vocals). Try www.ozonband.com for more information, like what guitarist OptiX is smoking or whether percussionist Mef has any more letters lying around loose. The bass player is Leo Petrov. Unfortunately it would not play on any of my equipment, which is a shame because I really wanted to hear it. I WROTE A SONG Neil Andrews indie He actually wrote almost a dozen songs, but I wasn’t able to hear a single one of ‘em; this disc will not play on any of my equipment either. What the hell is going on? We also got another four-song disc that would not play, from Charles Bunting of Seabee Sounds.

TODAY, TOMORROW, ALWAYS Andrew Mondics indie Country. Corny. A baker’s dozen of tunes written or co-written by Mr. Mondics and mostly endurable (if you were raised on country sunshine).

Hey, have you heard of Krewella? They do dance music, not exactly my favorite thing these days, but this is two sisters (Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf) and a dude (Kris “Rain Man” Trindl) from Chicago. They look good and sound good. Check ‘em out.

Or not, if you’re not that into dance music either.

SOUTHERN FRIED & SANCTIFIED Cathouse Prophets indie Oh, these guys are good. They write their own songs and play the hell out of ‘em. Mike McGill is “The Singer” and also does harmonica, guitar, and “other noises.” Scott Maddux is the wielder of “nasty & wicked electric guitars,” while Steve “Birddog” Burgess plays “borrowed” drums and shares some vocal

WRITTEN WITH BLOOD Brian Lee Robinson Jejajo Unendurable. Too much echo and too little talent. He apparently had his heart broken and that’s too bad, but it’s no excuse to torture strangers.

And why is it called dance music? I mean, you can dance to any music, right? Well, if you’re supple enough. Y’know, I used to dance my ass off, hell, I got thrown out of a high school dance for shedding my jacket and then my tie and dress shirt while doing the dirty bop with this ﬁne redhead. My only regret? I didn’t ask her out. Come to think of it, she didn’t ask me either... While we welcome downloads forReview, please only send actual released items.

---Peter Read The Eureka Blues Festival was a killer event. Thousands of blues lovers descended on that berg to celebrate the real American musical artform, and there was blues music in the clubs, the concert halls and the streets for that matter for four solid days. As Charles and Lori Ragsdell pointed out, Eureka Springs, Arkansas was indeed the center of the Arkansas blues world for the weekend, anyway… The Father’s Day Blues Picnic at Turpentine Creek was a gala event, but the attendance was stiﬂed by the stormy weather that morning. Finally the sun broke through the clouds later in the day, but by then a lot of folks had apparently decided that enough was enough and simply didn’t show. It’s unfortunate because there were several tremendous acts on the bill who all played their bluesy hearts out. All who attended, though, had an excellent experience and were still talking about it the next day. This is a truly excellent facility by the way. In addition to the big cats and the general operation that is Turpentine Creek, there’s a permanent stage and real public restrooms and with the gorgeous views of the Ozarks all around – not to mention ample parking – it’s be a great place to hold a music festival… In general, Eureka Springs, Arkansas is ﬂying quite high these days. With the peak of the Summer upon us, the city that prides itself as being the largest open-air asylum in the country Chelsea’s checks in this month with their usual excellent musical line-up. This is where the locals tend to hang, and as anyone knows that is where the best fun can happen. On the bill in the next several weeks you can party with Bate Hancock & The Declaration, The Bearded Two, Mean Green Dean, Strange Derangers, Magic Mule, Centerfuze, Brian Martin, Josh Jennings, The 1 Oz. Jig, The Blue Delphiniums, Earl & Them, Patrick Sweany, The Kris Lager Band, Toto Jojo, Matt Smith & Ocie Fisher, Chucky Waggs, Springbilly, Diesel Dean & The 18 Wheelers, The Coliseum, Cassidy, Orion & JD, SXREX,

Spa City Blues

Hot Springs to get the blues on Labor Day Weekend

---David Hughes The Spa City Blues Society is proud to announce the lineup for the 18th Hot Springs Blues Festival, slated for Labor Day weekend. The festival will be held in Hill Wheatley Plaza in downtown Hot Springs, August 2931. Headlining this year’s event will be Larry Garner, JP Soars & the Red Hots, Ghost Town Blues Band and Barbara Blue. The festival, sponsored and produced by the SCBS, will include music related workshops, an artists alley for local artisans to share their wares, after parties in local venues and full line-up of local, regional and national acts. Check the SCBS website, www.spacityblues.org, for up to date details on all activities. Larry Garner will be the headline act for the ﬁnal evening of the festival. Garner, hailing from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the Boogaloo Band won the International Blues Challenge in 1988. Garner has also been nominated for several Blues Music Awards over the years including four nominations for time for Contemporary Blues Artist. He has received numerous other accolades through the years and was inducted into the Louisiana Blues Hall of Fame in 2002. Garner left the 9 to 5 routine of a day job with Dow Chemicals to pursue his music career full time in the early 70’s. Since then, he has toured the United States and Europe extensively. “I’m on tour all the time,” he says. “I go to Europe and England a few times a year. Over there they really like my original stuff. They hear guys playing the blues, but when I come in, they come

Ghost Town Blues Band is a modern blues band with an intimate knowledge of blues, rock and improvisational jams. At the same time, the band’s raw energy and intensity is reminiscent of some of the best blues that rock n’ roll has ever offered. The band can turn on a dime from North Mississippi hill country grooves to classic electric urban blues and funk. This Memphisbased, gritty, six-piece has been touring the US since its inception in 2009, gaining a strong following within the blues and Jam Band circuit. Rounding out Sunday’s line-up will be Brick Fields & The Chosen Ones and the SCBS’ representatives to the 2014 International Blues Challenge, Little Roy Gene & Grayson Goff and Charlotte Taylor & Gypsy Rain. Saturday evening’s headline performer is 2008 International Blues Challenge winner JP Soars and the Red Hots. JP Soars is not a typical blues guitarist. He has a diverse musical background that encompasses a multitude of inﬂuences. “I love T-bone Walker, Jesse May Hemphill, Wes Montgomery, Django Reinhardt, Muddy Waters, Johnny Guitar Watson, Guitar Slim and Louis Jordan,” says Soars. “But I also love Tito Puente, Miles Davis, Hank Williams, Black Sabbath and Slayer.” Soars toured the globe and recorded several records with some of the most extreme metal bands in the world before ﬁnding his home in the blues. It is these attributes that are giving Soars an instantaneously recognizable style. Soars current band consists of long time drummer Chris Peet and new additions Pat Ward and Steve Laudicina. Local fans should be familiar with Soars. He plays Hot Springs a couple of times a year and performed at

side various top notch artists such as Taj Mahal & The Phantom Blues Band, Jeff Healey, Eugene “Hideaway” Bridges, Anthony Gomes, Marcia Ball, Delbert McClinton, Maceo Parker, Al Jackson, Pinetop Perkins, James Cotton, Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin, Tab Benoit, and on The Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise. Since forming her own band in 1989, Blue has been progressing right up blues alley. With the release of her debut CD OUT OF THE BLUE, she has reached a wider audience of blues lovers worldwide. Saturday’s line-up is rounded out with a performance by the SCBS’ Blues In The Schools students, Little Rock based Beckham Brothers Band, and the 2014 International Blues Challenge winners Tim Williams (solo/duo) and Mr. Sipp (band). Williams hails from the Toronto, Canada, area and brings clever lyrics and solid guitar work to the Spa City. His songs are timely but also pay homage to great Delta blues pickers in their style and in the cleverness of the songwriting. Mr. Sipp, aka Castro Coleman, has been dubbed “Mississippi Blues Child”. Mr. Sipp, from McComb, Mississippi, began playing guitar at age 6. Due to hard work and perseverenace he has become a critically acclaimed songwriter, musician, composer and producer.

J.P. Soars

Barbara Blue right up and say, ‘Thank God — a real blues band.’ We take it for granted here. They’re really appreciative there, and so am I. I’m also on the road here in the US all the time,” says Garner. “I have a 2000 Ford van. It’s got 365,000 miles on it, and I bought it new. You do the math.” Opening for Garner on Sunday evening will be Ghost Town Blues Band from Memphis. GTBB has become a staple in the Hot Springs area, playing gigs in the Spa City and Little Rock a couple times each month. Beale Street’s latest success story and 2014 International Blues Challenge runner-up GTBB’s debut release Dust the Dust, (Inside Sounds) has received an impressive amount of airplay throughout the US and Europe. The recording won the European Independent Music Label Award for “Top Sound” in blues. Both Preston McEwen behind the drums and Alex Piazza on the bass guitar are a punishing rhythm section behind Matt Isbell with raunchy guitar licks and chainsaw rhythms. With the addition of horn players Coleman Garrett, Silky Smooth Suavo Jones and Jeremy Powell on keys, the grooves go from funky to funk-nasty as the band gains more notoriety in the international blues scene.

Mr. Sipp the 2013 Hot Springs Blues Festival with roots & blues super group Southern Hospitality, which also features Damon Fowler and Victor Wainwright. Opening for Soars will be the reigning queen of Beale Street, Barbara Blue. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Blue has had the blues since the day she was born. She has been performing on Beale Street ﬁve nights a week at the legendary Silky O’Sullivan’s since 1997. She has performed along-

Larry Garner

He is also a vocalist and performing artists. With over 125 credits to his name, Mr. Sipp has played on over 50 national recording including several Grammy nominated projects. After winning the 2014 IBC, he was cast in an upcoming movie about James Brown. His performance at the 2014 IBC finals electrified the crowd. Mr. Sipp sums his musical journey up very succinctly…”I’m living to love the life I live…music!” The festival will expand this year adding music on Friday evening. Friday’s lineup will feature Heavy Suga & The Sweetones, Steve Hester and DeJaVooDoo and the Hump Night Blues band with special guests. Start times and other details will be posted on the SCBS website as they become available. Check www. spacityblues.org regularly for up to date information. The festival is sponsored in part by Visit Hot Springs, Blues Festival Guide and Nightflying. ---DH

The Spa is Hot these days, no pun intended. (Well, maybe there’s a little pun involved...nothing like a little pun sometimes..) The live music in the venues is on the high side of great, the clubs and restaurants and the lakes and the track are always really giving visitors more than they can do in just about any visit of any length, and the people are their own kind of special. For a small town in Arkansas, these folks are as worldly sophisticated as people in Paris, London, Seattle and New York. Indeed, many of them like to go and spend time in these sorts of places, and never bat an eye at the “ways” of the so-called Big City. Why that is I don’t know, but I suspect it is largely due to the fact that for many years Hot Springs, Arkansas, was a real draw for folks from those big cities due to the internationally known gambling of the town. Sure, it was totally illegal at the time, but kings and presidents and other sordid criminals all liked to spend time here. If only the city itself would embrace its wicked past… The Big Chill is my personal favorite nightclub in the entire Altered State, and the real reason is not just the phenomenal music, but the sheer energy and ambience of the place. (And the stuffed baked potatoes…) Appearing at the club in the coming weeks are Lightnin’ Lee Langdon and David Ball, the John Calvin Brewer Band, Mister Lucky, Rockin’ Jake, Jocko, Joe Hall and Tommy, The Whiskey River Ramblers, The Founders, Ghost Town Blues Band, Tara Riley Thompson & Brent Fras, Dean Agus, Prophets and Outlaws, Highway 124, The ShotGunBillys, Ghost Town Blues Band, Mister Lucky, The Shari Bales-Mike Taber Band, Shane Simanton and Christine DeMeo, among others. And with all this musical action, there is still NO COVER CHARGE at the club. In addition, every Sunday brings DJ Chucky D., with his own take on Karaoke. All in all, this is one of the hottest clubs in The Altered State…not just Hot Springs.

www.nightﬂying.com

For bookings and other information, call (501)624-5185..... The Ohio Club on Bath House Row is a music freak’s delight. 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, Mike Stanley on Mondays, Salt & Pepper 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 oldest continually serving bar in the country. Seriously. And the club is non-smoking now, so the atmosphere and ambiance are invitingly pleasant. And there’s never a cover charge here. To reach the Ohio for directions and other information call (501)6270702… 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 Mya’s Madams, May The Peace of The Sea Be With You, Thrash Folk, Omy Blusky, Belukhas, Bristol Hills, Kentucky Knife Fight, Fitra, Mountain Sprout, AmyJo Savannah, Opportunists, Shawn James & The Shapeshifters, Grazzhopper, Kevin Kerby, Sideshow Tragedy, John Paul Keith, Midnight Masses, The Anatomy of Frank, Rachel Kate, Bravo Max, Nick Brumley, Captain Nowhere, High Magic, Dangerous Idiots and a lot more. Maxine’s features a full menu, and an even fuller bar. This is a non-smoking venue. For bookings call (501)3210909……. Razorback Pizza has kept at it in the music department. And with the warm weather, that enormous beer garden is one happening club. In the coming weeks look for John Calvin Brewer, The Federalies, Chris Henry, The Diamond Blues Band, Stephen Neeper & The Wild Hearts, Dayton Waters, Brian Kelley, Stiff-Necked Fools, MayDayBy Mid-

night, Barrett Baber and a whole lot more. 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 annual Hot Springs Blues Fest happens on Labor Day weekend so mark that calendar now. See the feature on this elsewhere in this noosepaper…and make plans now to attend one of the coolest blues festivals in the land…….

Good vibrations. The Beach boys sang about them. I hear people talk about feeling them, sending them, needing them. I even imagine sending these wild, wavy expressions of good will and kind intent from my own mind and body to friends and family in need of some positive influence. But, what are they, really? These good vibrations? Well, as usual, I have an opinion, or at least a few thoughts on the matter. I believe that everything in nature puts off vibrations in some form or other. Somewhere in the deep, dark recesses of my mind I seem to recall a principle of physics that mentions vibrations in matter and how they interact. So, I suppose, to a very small degree, and I mean very small, my take on these ‘vibes’ is loosely based on science. Back, to my original thought...I believe everything puts off a vibration, sometimes very obvious and other times not so much. I believe we, as human beings, send and receive vibrations. I also believe that when we sync up with the vibrations of others we feel it to the depths of our souls. Now, I’m way too much of a redneck to get too philosophical and metaphysical on your ass so let me break it down a little more for you kind readers so that you don’t think I’ve lost my vibrating mind. Have you ever been hiking a trail or cruising on the water in a boat, just communing with nature? Maybe you see a cloud formation above you set against the backdrop of a clear, blue sky. Or you turn the bend of a trail and the scene before you unfolds to reveal a majestic waterfall or a wide, sweeping valley. Suddenly, you find yourself at peace and in awe of the moment. Your vibrations have just synced up with Mother Nature’s and that feeling is what I’m writing about. Good vibrations. How about when you meet people? Have you ever met someone and you felt like you’ve known them all your life? You just clicked and you knew there was something right and good about them. Some call it having things in common. Others might say its akin to falling in love. I think it’s the fact that both people’s vibrations are in sync, what’s being sent out jives with what’s being received. Good vibrations. Have you ever been cruising along in your vehicle and running the stations on your radio or shuffling songs on your iPod? You’re looking for something to fit your mood. You stop at a song for a moment. Meh, not the one so you move along. Next song...feels a little better but not quite there yet. Finally, you find it. That one song that strikes a chord in your psyche and makes you smile, settle back in the seat and start tapping your fingers on the steering wheel. Now, this is my take on that scene. You are sending out vibes looking for something, kind of like the radar a bat uses to navigate. The music you are hearing is also pulsing with vibrations. Once you reach the vibration that matches yours you are locked in, receptive, responsive and at ease with the situation. You might call it a mood, a groove, a sense of being in the right place at the right time. I call it good vibrations. So what, you say. Hughes, you’re full of shit, you say. Maybe. But I know. I’ve felt them, good vibrations. I know, too, what frequency I operate on so I seek out the vibrations I want and need. For example, the Spa City Blues Society recently hosted JP Soars & The Red Hots at the weekly Hump Night Blues Jam at The Ohio Club as a featured artist. The guys started playing and I could feel my entire demeanor begin to change. I was relaxed, tapping my toes on the floor and letting JP and the boys dole out their vibes. I knew it would happen that way because I’ve felt it before. That connection with the music and with the people playing it. Sometimes, the good vibes catch you by surprise. I was in Eureka Springs recently for the annual Blues Weekend. Talk about rolling in good vibes! That town is loaded with opportunities for people to connect with other people, music and nature. We had finished a day of volunteer work and had closed the evening by catching Larry Garner’s show. Once we we were back at our hotel, a few of us decided to enjoy a nightcap

on the balcony of our room at The Matterhorn Towers. The outer stairs of the hotel connected to our balcony. We were laughing and enjoying the breezy summer evening when we heard footsteps coming up the stairs. It turned out be none other than Larry Garner himself. After introductions we began to chat. It didn’t take long before all of us were synced up, telling stories, sharing drinks and laughing into the wee hours of the morning. I felt an instant connection with Garner through the music, our backgrounds and the fact that we both like home made moonshine! Call it having something in common. Lay it off on booze ﬁlled late nights. I’m calling it good vibrations. I had the good fortune of managing The Auditorium stage for the Eureka Springs Blues Weekend while I was there. One of the acts I helped was Carolyn Wonderland. I’ve been a fan of Carolyn & her music for

several years and have met her before. I had the opportunity to hang out with her and her band before and after their show. The connection was almost immediate. Happy, sincere and honest vibes all around. I was already connected to her music but I was now happily synced up with the woman who made the music. Her vibrations flow from her soul through her hands and voice to the people. It all felt right, natural. good vibrations yet again. Here’s the thing good people. Whether you believe it or not, it’s out there. Whatever you want to call it... good vibrations, falling in love, making a connection, soul shine...it doesn’t really matter. What does matter is that you recognize it. And you feel it. Recognize what it is you need in your own mind, body and soul. Your frequency. But also, know what it is you are offering to someone else’s mind, body and soul. That’s how we connect. That’s how we survive. So, if you dig the colorful clothes she wears and the way the sunlight plays upon her hair, then you know what I mean. It’s summertime and the world is ripe for finding some good vibrations. I’ve got mine locked in. Hope you’ll get out there and find yours. As always, I’ll be watching from backstage. Peace y’all... ---DH

1970 Gibson Les Paul Personal

---Story and photos by Steve Evans When Paul Hamer asked if I’d ever come across a Les Paul Personal, my reply was, what is a Les Paul Personal? Hamer said “You’ve seen the Les Pauls with low impedance pickups. The Personal was the top model in that series and had a place to plug in a gooseneck mic.” No, I had definitely never seen one like that. That was back in 1983 when Paul Hamer was looking for a Les Paul Personal. The memory stuck with me because Hamer was important in the guitar world. He was co-owner of the exclusive USA-made Hamer Guitar Company which supplied rock stars with guitars often seen on MTV. I thought if Paul Hamer wanted a Les Paul Personal, it must be a cool guitar. I have not seen Paul Hamer since he dropped by my shop 31 years ago, but I have finally seen a Gibson Les Paul Personal and I bought it for my Guitar Museum. It’s a 1970 model, with a lot of finish checking and a few dings, but it’s beautiful! Gibson offered the Les Paul Personal from 1969 though 1971. According to Gibson’s log of shipping totals, only 370 were produced. At the time, the “Personal” was the most expensive Les Paul model ever produced with a retail price tag of $765.00 w/case (= $4,690.00 in 2014 dollars). It really does have a plug-in for a gooseneck microphone. This is one of the many features that the famous entertainer, Les Paul, desired for his personal use. Thus the model name “Personal.” Les Paul was not a singer, but he required a mic for announcing song names and for talking to the audience. As an inventor, Les Paul did a lot of experimenting with making his own guitar pickups, which he used when recording his and Mary Ford’s hit records back in the 1950’s. His research culminated with the low impedance pickups used on the Les Paul Personal. The sound was described as “high fidelity” and achieved a clarity of frequencies previously unattainable on production guitars. The pickups are “humbucking” (Gibson’s double coil design), but incorporate oversized Alnico V magnets with the coils stacked one on top of the other. As far as pickups go, these are massive and weigh one pound each. The guitar’s output jack looks normal, but it is actually a stereo 1/4” jack with separate contact points for the guitar and mic. The low impedance feature was suited for plugging the guitar directly into a recording studio’s mixer board, as preferred by Les Paul, but to play through a normal guitar amp a low-to-high impedance transformer (available from Gibson) was required. The input for the gooseneck mic is a sturdy Switchcraft XLR mounted near the forward strap button on the guitar’s upper bout, a few inches from the microphone volume knob. The Les Paul Personal has eight different knobs and switches. Besides the microphone VOLUME knob there are four guitar knobs labeled VOLUME, TREBLE, BASS, and DECADE. The most unusual control is the DECADE knob which operates an eleven position rotary switch, with each click changing the treble harmonics. A normal Les Paul has one switch, but the Les Paul Personal has three: FRONT/REAR pick-up selector, PHASE SWITCH, and TONE SELECTOR. This guitar was complicated and likely was only fully understood by recording engineers and the technical geniuses of the day. The sound quality of the Les Paul Personal was awe inspiring, but so was its beauty. The Gibson Guitar Company spared no expense while producing the Les Paul Personal, and used the very best hardware (all gold plated) and the choicest woods. The body was made of fine grain British Honduras mahogany and happened to be slightly larger (1” longer and 1 1/4” wider) than a normal Les Paul. The carved top was bound with seven layer white & black binding and the back of the guitar was bound with five-layer (w/b/w/b/w) binding. The mahogany neck came with an ebony fingerboard with white binding, mother-of-pearl block inlays and Gibson’s “fretless wonder” frets, which are super-thin and allow for very comfortable playing action. The luxurious peghead has multi-layered (w/b/w/b/w) binding and a large 5-piece split-diamond mother of pearl inlay all set-off by top-of-the-line gold-plated Kluson tuners. To see a YouTube demonstration of this 44 year-old high-tech wonder, just scan the QR Code shown here. To see the guitar in person, drop by the Jacksonville Guitar Museum, 1105 Burman Drive, Jacksonville, 501-982-4933.

Eureka Springs Blues Weekend

Robert Cray and Steve Pryor to appear August 30 ---Charles Ragsdale Make plans now for one of this year’s biggest concerts at The Auditorium- Robert Cray with special guests the Steve Pryor Band! They will appear at the historic City Auditorium in downtown Eureka Springs, Arkansas on Saturday, August 30. Tickets are on sale at TheAuditorium.org. The Eureka Springs City Auditorium is known worldwide as a music venue that has featured hundreds of the worlds leading performers over the decades, including everyone from John Philip Sousa and His Marching Band to Ray Charles, from Willie Nelson to BB King to name but a few. Robert Cray With 5 Grammy Awards, 15 nominations, millions of record sales worldwide, and thousands of sold out performances, rock blues icon Robert Cray is considered “one of the greatest guitarists of his generation.” Rolling Stone Magazine in their April 2011 issue credits Cray with reinventing the blues with his “distinct razor sharp guitar playing” that “introduced a new generation of mainstream rock fans to the language and form of the blues” with the release of his Strong Persuader album in 1986. Since then, Cray has gone on to record sixteen Billboard charting studio albums and has written or performed with everyone from Eric Clapton to Stevie Ray Vaughan, from Bonnie Raitt to John Lee Hooker. Inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2011 at the age of 57, he is one of the youngest living legends to receive the prestigious honor. And while he can look back over an astonishing four-decade career punctuated by his trademark sound and distinct playing style, Robert Cray is too busy moving forward on an amazing journey that has him releasing his seventeenth studio album IN MY SOUL on April 1, 2014, and embarking on yet another world tour with the Robert Cray Band. We are thrilled to have Robert coming to Eureka Springs as part of this tour. Easily one of the most intimate venues on the tour, his fans will all have a perfect view and enjoy what has been described as some of the best sound and acoustics of any venue in America. Steve Pryor In addition to Robert Cray, the Steve Pryor Band will perform. Tulsa-based Steve Pryor is a member of the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame as well as the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame as a blues Inductee. Following in the footsteps of The Three Kings of the Blues (B.B King, Albert King and Freddie King), Pryor fuses electric guitar with traditional blues in a style that is his own. Steve Pryor got his ﬁrst big break when asked to tour with the Paul Butterﬁeld Blues Band. Since that time he has shared the stage with his heroes, Albert King and B.B. King, as well as John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Greg Allman, Dr. John and Johnny Winter. He also toured with the Fabulous Thunderbirds. In April of this year, the band recorded a live performance at the legendary Church Studio in Tulsa. This album is soon to be released. Get your tickets today at TheAuditorium.org, or by calling 888-695-0888.

THE SAGA OF BOYD MUSIC CENTER PART 7: More Ancient History During the entire 38-year life span of Boyd Music Center, I was Owner, Proprietor, Operator, General manager and CEO. (I also did my share of the sweeping and cleaning up.) Keep in mind when I opened Boyd Music in 1962, my formal music and business education (like college?) was zero, zip. When I came out of Mayflower High School in 1954, I had no “marketable” skills. I registered with the Employment Security Division and with other guys like me, I would wait on the sidewalk out front until somebody drove by in a pickup truck and hired us to work. Some of my “temp” jobs were packing ice cream, unloading boxcars near the Little Rock Airport, stocking shelves at Crow-Burlingame Auto Parts, and cleaning a poultry house in North Little Rock. I also worked on a crew, digging the sewer ditches for the new Oak Forest Junior High School, and I was a meat-cutter’s apprentice at a supermarket in Pine Bluff. For this labor I received minimum wage, which was 75 cents an hour. That’s $30 for a 40-hour week, and after the “ducks” flew through my paycheck, I ended up with about $22. Then I got a really good job, at 3M Company. Still hard labor, like cleaning out roofing-granule mixers, but I was paid $1.27 per hour, on a rotating shift. During that time I started playing piano with Olen Bingham and the Rhythm Playboys. We were on a regular Saturday night show at Robinson Center, and we played at the “Hog Drive In,” outdoors on an elevated stage on East Broadway in North Little Rock. It didn’t pay much, but at least I was finally using my only “marketable” skill. That band led, in the Winter of 1955, to playing the piano with the staff band of Jim Ed, Bonnie and Maxine Brown, the famous Brown Trio at their new restaurant and club, the Club Trio in Pine Bluff. That led to piano jobs in New Orleans and St. Louis. In the Spring of 1957 I was home “between band jobs” and was offered a job teaching accordion at Rosen Music Co. on Main Street in Little Rock. I worked there for 5 years before opening my own studio-store in 1962. For the record, I now regret never having gone to college. I could have really used some training in business management when I opened Boyd Music. But working from 9 to 7, 6 days a week, there was no time for education, except for the books I found at the old Carnegie Public Library at 7th and Louisiana. One of those books was “A Small Store and Independence,” from which I learned the basics of owning a small business. I also attended some 1-day seminars during those years, which were very helpful. It was a blessing that I had a really good math teacher at Mayflower High. But for the most part, I learned the business by very expensive and sometimes painful trial and error. Every day was an exciting adventure. So when I started Boyd Music, at age 25, I was still a “green kid” from Mayflower. I was dumb as a post, when it came to running a retail business. I had just gotten married and bought a little home and furniture with most of my savings, so my wife Donnie and I literally started Boyd Music on a “shoestring.” She continued working as a long-distance telephone operator while I worked in the store and built my own fixtures from scrap lumber. My first wholesale order was $46.17 and I lay awake at night hoping I could sell all those strings and accessories so I could stock some more. What saved my bacon, was the fact that although there were 3 or 4 major established music stores downtown, a lot of you guys and gals were willing to give the “new kid on the block” a chance. If you wanted something I didn’t have, like a certain kind of guitar pick, I would order it for you. So very many of you were loyal associates, customers and friends. You stuck with me through all the hard times of those 38 years I served you. You stuck with me while over a dozen new music stores opened and closed, and even through the mail-order catalog days. I also want to thank all the loyal guys and gals who came to work for me during all those years, and helped me make it work. Thank you, Peter Read, for serving our music community with your publication NIGHTFLYING. You’ve always been loyal to our “cause,” helping musicians have a better life. I have always believed God wanted there to be a music store like Boyd’s, and so did you guys. It was a wild ride! I learned things about myself I could never have learned working for the “other guy.” I thank each of you who are still around to visit with me about those crazy days. You all, and God, helped me make it happen. bgbo yd6@sbcglobal.net NEXT ISSUE: Boyd Music’s August 1975 “Grand Re-Opening.”

Bikes, Blues & BBQ 2014 Motorcycles, Music and Food, Oh My

---Joe Giles

Bikes, Blues, and BBQ, the nation’s largest charity driven motorcycle rally, is gearing up for its 15th Anniversary September 24-27 in beautiful Northwest Arkansas. Every year, the rally gets bigger and better and this one is no exception. Of course, all the usual attractions will be in evidence, the free live music, the BBB Car Show, the Stokes Air Battle of the Bikes, the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys Miss BBB Contest, the Bikes Blues and Bombers Air Show, and factory demo rides from Harley-Davidson, Indian, Victory, and Yamaha. But there are new attractions to celebrate the 15th as well. And not only new attractions, but a whole new venue! Arvest Ball Park in Springdale will be host to a one day BBB event on Saturday the 27th. A couple of the mainstay attractions will be moving there, the BBB Car Show and the BBB Karaoke Contest.In addition,the Ozark Vintage Motorcycle Association will be holding the first Bikes Blues and BBQ Vintage Motorcycle Show at Arvest. For foodies, BBB is presenting the Northwest Arkansas Steak Cooking Contest (a preliminary to the World’s Steak Cooking Championship) with steak sampling and then a steak dinner following the competition. And the organizers of BBB have decided to honor our veterans with The Soldier’s Wish Project, and Ride of the Brotherhood – The Return Home. Both of these celebrate and support our nations’ veterans. Naturally, no motorcycle rally would be complete without vendors and the BBB lineup is outstanding. Accessories, clothing, leather, sound systems, jewelry – you name it and it’ll be here. And then there’s the food. Award winning BBQ (including the KCBS State BBQ Championship), Greek gyros like you’ve never had, funnel cake, brauts, the list just goes on. While the rally is centered in Fayetteville, the real attraction is the roads of the Ozarks. Thousands of bikes will be out in force on some of the most beautiful roads in the nation. Rally goers come literally from nationwide as well as Europe, Africa, and the Pacific to enjoy the roads, the music, and the people. Since this is primarily a music magazine, obviously the bands deserve some consideration. To celebrate the 15th, BBB has brought back some of the most popular bands of the past, coupled with the hottest new acts in the Midwest. The original Cate Brothers Band will be on the concert stage after an absence of several years. Grammy winner Chubby Carrier will be there, as will the Kansas City Blues Diva Samantha Fish. The party wild man Andy Frasco is making a return appearance. Newcomers? Bluesman Brody Buster, Steve Hester and DejaVoodoo, Voxana, Fayetteville horn band deluxe Got It Covered, and the Midwest’s Premier 80’s Tribute Hair Band, Members Only to mention a few. And as a special treat, Sax virtuoso Brian Crowne is making a one night only return to the stage with Oreo Blue. This is something no music lover should miss. So, great attractions, free live music, fabulous food, a mind-numbing variety of wares, friendly people, beautiful bikes, and too many other things to mention. Visitors will run out of time before they run out of things to do. And, at the end of it, all profits go to local charities. Make your plans…it’ll be the best party of the year…

RINGO STARR AND HIS ALL STARR BAND ANNOUNCE A MEMPHIS CONCERT DATE AT SNOWDEN GROVE AMPHITHEATER ON OCTOBER 12, 2014 “Ultimately what’s most impressive about Ringo Starr isn’t what he’s been, but rather who he is,” wrote Rolling Stone rock critic David Wild. “The man’s great heart and soul, his wit and wisdom. Indeed, his music has always emanated from his warmth, humor, and exceptional skill, manifesting in the songs we know and love: “With A Little Help From My Friends,” “Don’t Pass Me By,” “Octopus’ Garden,” “Photograph,” “It Don’t Come Easy,” “Back Off Boogaloo,” “You’re Sixteen (You’re Beautiful and You’re Mine),” “Don’t Go Where the Road Don’t Go,” “The No No Song,” and “Never Without You,” to name a few. Since beginning his career with The Beatles in the 1960s, Ringo has been one of the world’s brightest musical luminaries. He has enjoyed a successful, dynamic solo career as a singer, songwriter, drummer, collaborator, photographer and actor. Drawing inspiration from classic blues, soul, country, honky-tonk and rock ‘n’ roll, he continues to play an important recording, touring, and unofficial mentoring role in modern music. On January 20, 2014, Ringo’s musical and personal legacy were celebrated as he was awarded a “Lifetime of Peace & Love Award” by the David Lynch Foundation at this tribute performance event. One week later, CBS taped a Beatles tribute celebrating the 50th Anniversary of their first U.S. visit and appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. In between those events, Ringo performed on the GRAMMY Awards, as a recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, presented to The Beatles. In February 2014, Simon & Shuster will publish Octopus’s Garden, a children’s book based on his lyrics. For this 2014 tour, Starr reunites with the 12th lineup of his All-Starr Band, the same version of the oft-revolving group that he’s been using since 2012. Joining him will be guitarist Steve Lukather (Toto), singer Richard Page (Mr. Mister), keyboardist Gregg Rolie (Santana & Journey), multi-instrumentalist Todd Rundgren, and drummer Gregg Bissonette (Electric Light Orchestra & Santana) all of whom have scored hits in their own right, many of which will be incorporated into the set list. You won’t want to miss this “starr”-studded concert. “I love playing with this band and I can‘t wait to get back out and play with them again.“ It‘s almost certain that this year‘s show will feature Ringo classics like “Yellow Submarine“ and “Photograph“ mixed in with Santana‘s “Black Magic Woman,“ Toto‘s “Africa,“ Rundgren‘s “I Saw the Light,“ Mr. Mister‘s “Broken Wings“ and other hits. You can purchase your tickets at the Snowden Grove Amphitheater Box Office, at Ticketmaster.com or call 800-745-3000. Be sure to get your tickets before it’s sold out!

Original Ozark Folk Fest Eureka announces stellar line-up for 67th annual Folk Festival

---Charles Ragsdell The 67th Annual Original Ozark Folk Festival will be held from October 7 - 11 in historic Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The Original Ozark Folk Festival has been held every year since 1948, making it the longest consecutively held annual folk festival in America. The festival features the music, dance, arts, crafts and people of the Ozarks. This year, the festival will feature the Barefoot Ball with music by the Cindy Woolf Band, the Queen’s Contest featuring the HedgeHoppers, and arts & crafts exhibitions and a Singer/Songwriter contest. There will also be free music in Basin Spring Park featuring 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. We’ll also host a contra folk dance featuring the NWA Contra Dancers with calling by Harold Watson and music by The Old 78s. As the main show, the festival will feature The Ozark Mountain Daredevils with special guests Brewer & Shipley and Danny Cox on Saturday, October 11. These three magnificent acts all have roots in the legendary Vanguard Coffee House and the Cowtown Ballroom in Kansas City, so we are billing it as The Ultimate Cowtown Ballroom Reunion. 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. Tickets are on sale at TheAuditorium.org. For more info about the 67th Annual Original Ozark Folk Festival, please visit OzarkFolkFestival.com. More information about the performers: The Ozark Mountain Daredevils http://www.ozarkdaredevils.com Formed in 1972, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils are best known for their hits “If You Want To Get To heaven...” and “Jackie Blue,” but their music is steeped in Ozark Folk. The Daredevils were born and bred, so to speak, in the Ozarks. From their humble beginnings at the New Bijou Theater in Springfield, Missouri, the Daredevils went on to play around the world with acts like The Beach Boy, Poco, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac and The Doobie Brothers. One of their first major and most memorable performances was in 1973 at the fabled Cowtown Ballroom in Kansas City, where they performed with Brewer & Shipley for the first time, starting a lifetime of co-billings. Since then, they have thrilled millions of fans with the soaring harmonies and consummate musicianship. Still featuring the majority of the original members, the Daredevils have sold out all of their rare reunion performances, so get your tickets early! Brewer & Shipley http://brewerandshipley.com Michael Brewer & Tom Shipley are truly two who work as one. Still as passionate as ever, they continue

Ozark Mountain Daredevils

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 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 http://dannycoxfolk.com 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 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 expand-

ed 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 Alliance’s “Spirit of Folk” Award.

The Cindy Woolf Band, featuring Mark Bilyeu http://www.cindywoolf.com 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…spellbinding…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 due. 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.

Warren’s Rec Room

Giving them something to talk about in Alma ---Mark Davis If you didn’t know what it was, you might miss it. But why would you be driving down West Newberry Road in Alma, Arkansas anyway? Cleverly disguised as a barn and located in rural Crawford County is Warren’s Rec Room. Ok, ok, it was a barn just a year ago, but the unassuming structure has been re-purposed with great music and great Bar-B-Que in mind. Historically, at least as far back as Prohibition, Crawford County has been ofﬁcially (he-he) dry as a bone. About ﬁve years ago a few folks applied for and received liquor licenses, but their raison d’etre was food and live music was an afterthought. What makes Warren’s stand out is that it is a private club designed around live music. Not that the food is bad, on the contrary, I protest! I was licking my plate, and that gets really awkward when you have a beard like mine. In other words, come for the music, drink a cold one, and the best BBQ in Crawford County, perhaps Arkansas, gets thrown in the mix, too. Not a bad deal at all. No, sir. So back to this barn... Warren and Christie had this dream. Well, Warren had a dream of opening a restaurant. Christie, having worked in the restaurant business for years, was something less than excited about that prospect. But then a close friend suggested something a little different, a live music hall, and the pieces of the puzzle fell together. They had the ranch land. They had a huge barn. Clean out the barn, install lights, build a stage, insulate and comfortize (heat and A/C) it, and presto! Warren’s Rec Room was born. While reading up on the venue at their website www.warrensrecroom. com, I noticed a little detail that snapped my eyes to attention. Family Friendly would be that little detail. When I asked Christie about this decision she said, “Our children go where we go. We feel like if it’s a place where they can’t be, we probably shouldn’t be their either.” For me, the father two kids who love to dance, this was music to my ears. So often the only places where swinging tunes are playing are

off limits to the younger set. Kids need to get their boogie on, too. Warren’s had a busy pair of weeks in the middle of June with the Ozark Mountain Swing Society on a Thursday, followed by Father/Daughter night headlined by Shannon Wurst and Ed Carr on Friday. Saturday evening found listeners celebrating Eric Matthews’ impending nuptials with great jams from Will’n & Able, Chris Cameron, The Trouble Makers, and numerous others. Taking a few days off from those unbelievably good shows to catch their breath they hosted Spirit Wind on the following Thursday, and a week from that Thursday, one of the Riverfront Blues Festival’s headliner’s, JP Soars and the Red Hots gave a show to the Rec Room crowd that did more than live up to their name. Will’n & Able warmed up the sold out crowd and Ms. Anne Gordon, mother of Ben and Daniel Gordon of Will’n & Able and JP Soar’s kindergarten teacher, introduced JP and his band. The Red Hots started off as advertised and didn’t slow down, let up, or otherwise make anyone think that that Thursday was anything other than a rocking Saturday night. Just in case you are still wondering, yes, Warren’s Rec Room is the scratch to your itch, the hottest ticket in the River Valley, the music venue of dreams. Warren and Christie built it and the people are coming! And things are really just getting started. Warren’s celebrated their one year anniversary in June and have big plans for the future including not only some very hot acts on the stage, but an outdoor venue, as well. When it’s all said and done this little old barn in the middle of Crawford County is not just a unique live music venue serving up plate licking BBQ and music from a wide variety of genres, it’s a respite from the “downtown” experience, a down-to-earth, unpretentious, honest-to-goodness great time waiting to happen. And it’s waiting for you to come and park your Cadillac by a Jeep, or your Jeep by a Cadillac, swing open the ridiculously large door and have a ball. Warren’s Rec Room www.warrensrecroom.com

Lady D’s Musical Birthday

Beef O’Brady’s to host benefit for Children’s Shelter ---Sondra Goode LadyD’s Musical Birthday to Benefit the Children’s Emergency Shelter in Fort Smith, Arkansas LadyD also known as Denise Messamore will be celebrating a Musical Birthday at Beef O’Brady’s located at 12200 U.S. 71, Fort Smith, AR 72916 on August 2, 2014 from 7 p.m. until 10 p,m. to benefit the Fort Smith Children’s Emergency Shelter. LadyD has teamed up with some talented musicians that she calls her “Hired Guns” to help bring an evening of music and entertainment along with exposure for the shelter’s immediate needs. All musical donations, tips, and sales of CD’s and/or items will go to help the kids at the shelter. Beef O’Brady’s is also donating 20% of all patio & event related inside sales to the shelter. Children should not suffer. This is the attitude of Fort Smith’s local musician and fundraising expert Denise Messamore. Denise had already planned her Musical Birthday at the Beef O Brady’s restaurant to benefit the Children’s Emergency Shelter when the news of delayed government funding hit the social media airways. “I never imagined what started as a simple way to give back, would turn into such an immediate need” states Denise. Fort Smith’s Local 5News reported on June 25th, 2014 that a letter from Cecile Blucker, director of the Arkansas Department of Human Services’ Division of Children and Family Services, was issued, and the letter stated that, “The Foster Care/Adoption Subsidy Board Cycle process is changing in order to eliminate paying for placement in advance and decreasing the volume of overpayments and recoupments that occur as a result of the current process.” Denise and her “Hired Guns”, some of the

River Valley’s ﬁnest musicians, soon realized that the delayed payments created a gap in the shelter’s regular funding. “I can’t imagine my boss coming to me and saying, ‘Oh, by the way, you aren’t getting your pay check until the middle of next month.” Denise adds, “It is a common fact that over 40% of American’s would be in crisis without a month’s paycheck.” LadyD’s Musical Birthday plans to help educate the community on how children are often referred to The Fort Smith Children’s Emergency Shelter. Their situations differ but are often due to physical, sexual or mental abuse, parental neglect, and/or incarceration of parents. Most of the children that the shelter watches over have been removed from their environment without any notice and without their belongings. The Fort Smith Children’s Emergency Shelter’s location allows the children who reside at the shelter to stay in their community, attend their schools, and visit with their families. Upon entering the shelter, the immediate needs of the children are met (i.e., shelter, food, clothing, and medical attention). “Music at the event will be perfect for families of all ages,” Denise said. “If you like the sounds of Elvis, Roy Orbison, Bob Segar, Stray Cats, and Randy Travis just to name a few, then you will love what you hear at Beef O’ Brady’s on August 2, 2014.” LadyD herself even has a couple original songs she plans on releasing for the ﬁrst time that night. LadyD’s Musical Birthday will take donations through campaigns located at ladydmusic.com starting July 3rd all the way through August 3rd,, 2014. If you would like to show your support for Denise’s Music Event and make a difference for the children who call the Fort Smith Children’s Emergency Shelter home, please contact Denise Messamore at Denise@LadyDMusic.com for more information.

at the sheets, a hospital security guard, (barely containing his laughter), and who had watched the whole incident, walked up and asked, “What the heck is going on here?“ The drunk, still staring down replied: “I think I just beat the crap out of a ghost...“

Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a racecar not called a racist? Piano Tuner: I’ve come to tune the piano. Music Teacher: But we didn’t send for you. Piano Tuner: No, but the people who live across the street did... My dad bought my mom a piano for her birthday. A few weeks later, I asked how she was doing with it. “Oh, said my dad, “I persuaded her to switch to a clarinet.” “How come?” I asked. “Well,” he answered, “because with a clarinet, she can’t sing…” Aaron Copland (1900-1990), US composer. One day Copland was in a bookshop when he noticed that a woman was buying two books - a volume of Shakespeare, and Copland‘s What to Listen For in Music. As the customer turned to leave, he stopped her and asked, “Would you like me to autograph your book?“ The woman looked blankly at the proud composer and asked, “Which one?“ Erik Satie (1866-1925), French composer of songs and piano pieces. Satie attended the premiere of Debussy‘s La Mer, the first part of which is titled “From Dawn to Noon on the Sea.” After the performance, Debussy asked Satie what the thought about the new work. Satie replied, “I liked the bit about quarter to eleven...“ George Shearing (1919- ) Jazz pianist, born in Britain. Came to the USA in 1947. He was blind from birth. Asked by an admirer whether he had been blind all his life, Shearing replied, “Not yet.“ One afternoon at rush hour, Shearing was waiting at a busy intersection for someone to assist him in crossing the street. Another blind man tapped him on the shoulder an asked if Shearing would mind helping him to get across. “What could I do?“ said Shearing later. “I took him across, and it was the biggest thrill of my life!“ Q: What do you call a person who plays the viola? A: A violator… Q. Why is a drum machine better than a drummer? A. Because it can keep a steady beat and won‘t sleep with your girlfriend… “Hey buddy, how late does the band play?“ “Oh, about a half a beat behind the drummer...“ Q. What‘s the difference between a baritone saxophone and a chain saw? A: The exhaust… A teacher was wrapping up class, and started talking about tomorrow‘s final exam. He said there would be no excuses for not showing up tomorrow, barring a dire medical condition or an immediate family member‘s death. One smart ass, male student said, “What about extreme sexual exhaustion?“, and the whole classroom burst into laughter. After the laughter had subsided, the teacher glared at the student, and said, “Not an excuse, you can use your other hand to write...“ An extremely modest man was in the hospital for a series of tests, the last of which had left his bodily systems extremely upset. Upon making several false alarm trips to the bathroom, he decided the latest episode was another and stayed put. He suddenly filled his bed with diarrhea and was embarrassed beyond his ability to remain rational. In a complete loss of composure he jumped out of bed, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the hospital window. A drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets landed on him. He started yelling, cursing, and swinging his arms violently trying to get the unknown things off, and ended up with the soiled sheets in a tangled pile at his feet. As the drunk stood there, unsteady on his feet, staring down

NIGHTFLYING • AIN’T NO CURE... • 2014

Do you know the difference between “guts“ and “balls“? Guts - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: “Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?“ Balls - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and having the balls to say, “You‘re next...“ An obnoxious drunk in a bar keeps hitting on an a lesbian waiting for her date. The drunk just won‘t take no for an answer. “Tell you what, I‘ll sleep with you if you can name one thing a man can do for me that my vibrator can‘t!“ the lesbian smirks. The obnoxious drunk thinks for a moment. “Okay, let‘s see your vibrator buy the next round of drinks!“ A man walks into a bar with a crocodile under his arm... MAN: Do you serve politicians here? BARTENDER: Well, of course we do! Jaques was here just last week. MAN: Good, I‘ll have a beer and my friend will have a politician... A farmer was driving along the road with a load of fertilizer. A little boy, playing in front of his house, saw him and called, “What‘ve you got in your truck?“ “Fertilizer,“ the farmer replied. “What are you going to do with it?“ asked the little boy. “Put it on strawberries,“ answered the farmer. “You ought to live here,“ the little boy advised him. “We put sugar and cream on ours.“ A woman walks into a drugstore and asks the pharmacist if he sells size extra large condoms. He replies, “Yes we do. Would you like to buy some?“ She responds, “No sir, but do you mind if I wait around here until someone does?“ Two guys were discussing popular family trends on sex, marriage, and values. Stuart said, “I didn‘t sleep with my wife before we got married, did you?“ Leroy replied, “I‘m not sure, what was her maiden name?” For decades, two heroic statues, one male and one female, faced each other in a city park, until one day an angel came down from heaven. “You‘ve been such exemplary statues,“ he announced to them, “that I‘m going to give you a special gift. I‘m going to bring you both to life for thirty minutes, in which you can do anything you want.“ And with a clap of his hands, the angel brought the statues to life. The two approached each other a bit shyly, but soon dashed for the bushes, from which shortly emerged a good deal of giggling, laughter, and shaking of branches. Fifteen minutes later, the two statues emerged from the bushes, wide grins on their faces. “You still have fifteen more minutes,“ said the angel, being naughty and winking at them. Grinning even more widely the female statue turned to the male statue and said, “Great! Only this time you hold the pigeon down and I‘ll crap on it‘s head...“ A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimeters from a shop window. For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, “Look mate, don‘t ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!“ The passenger apologized and said, “I didn‘t realize that a little tap would scare you so much.” The driver replied, “Sorry, it‘s not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver. I‘ve been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years...“ An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings currently on display. The owner said, “I‘ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that a gentleman inquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death. When I told him it would, he bought all fifteen of your paintings.“ “That‘s wonderful!“ the artist exclaimed, “What‘s the bad news?“ With concern, the gallery owner replied, “The guy was your doctor.“ Q. What‘s the definition of mixed emotions? A. When you see your mother-in-law backing off a cliff in your new car... Q. Did you hear about the blind man who went bungee jumping? A. He loved it, but it scared the hell out of his dog... Q. Did you hear that Fed Ex and UPS are going to merge? A. They‘re going to call it FED UP…

Best of Burger (1949 - 1998)

St. Gypsy Woman

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Ever the introspective one, the Aries looks within only to ﬁnd nothing there. Try as the Aries might, the guru within fails each time to reveal his or her own inner truth, choosing instead to utter “sorry Dopey, there just don’t seem to be nobody home here....”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) In the same way that a pig’s ass is pork, as goose is to gander and ﬂeas are to dogs, as crap is to politics, as minimum personal hygiene is to the Bedouin, so is the Taurus to IQs in the mid-sixties range.......

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It is said in theological circles that the Gemini as a group the world over will be granted Papal dispensation allowing them to skip confessions altogether, due to a complete lack of sin among all those born Gemini.......

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Given the horrendous birth rate of Cancers as a whole, the “World Organization For A Better Standard of Living On Our Planet” will be offering a decade-long opportunity for sterilization at absolutely no cost for any Cancer anywhere on the face of the Earth. This will include all transportation, meals, et cetera. The WOBSLOP encourages, nay, pleads with all Cancers to take advantage of this offer for the sake of future generations of non-Cancers.......

Sometimes I get carried away with myself, it’s true...but then, it’s always me who has to carry me back...” ---Hilliard Bean 54

LEO (July 23-August 22) Roses are red Violets are blue Cancers all suck And Leos do too.......

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) The Virgo seems unable to establish and maintain personal relationships throughout a lifetime without ever once discovering that the door of romance or friendship must always swing both ways. The door to Virgo relationships has two positions: the Virgo way...or Closed.......

LIBRA (September 23-October 22) Not much can be said about the Libra that hasn’t been said before...but what the hell, let’s try anyway...not good with children or animals, below average in communicative skills as well as in cooking...ever mindful of their own self-importance and utterly lacking in social skills, the Libra slogs through life in a fog of self-delusionary fantasy, bolstered by an astounding ability to look and act like a heterogeneous version of Alfred E. Neuman.......

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) Sign of the long-tailed bug, the Scorpio fears none but the Orkin man...and him only when on duty...ever hated, ever feared, ever squashed by the jack-booted heel of society in diverse cultures the world over and then buried in the tattered album jackets of Barry Manilow records.......

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21) Beware the curse of the Gypsy Woman...change not one word of the text herein either in mind, in deed, or by spoken word. The Sagittarius is creepy by anybody’s standards no matter how low these may be. Some of them even have six toes on both feet...a time-honored “Sign of 12” which means something bad but I can’t remember what...sufﬁce it to say that Sagittarians are really, really creepy....... © 1991 Nightﬂying Publications. All Rights Reserved.

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19) No relation to the gentle breed known as Unicorns, though they do have one similar singular trait...only rather than the Unicorn’s single spiralesque horn extending from the forehead, most Capricorns have one single eyebrow extending all the way across the upper facial area. Many Capricorns are referred to by passersby as well as distant relatives as “Zorba the Geek” for this very reason.......

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) As modern medical science moves ever forward, ever upward, the “Aqua” leaks slowly but steadily back into the past. Why take aspirin when “eye of newt” works just as well? Why submit to X-rays, ultrasound, and EKGs when a good stiff draught of foxglove and nightshade taken prior to the ever reliable professional readings of the “Runes of Izenbraugh” will reveal the true source of any and all medical problems, real or imagined? Have you heard the one about the Aquarian who went to an acupuncturist for a headache?

PISCES (February 19-March 20) When the moon is full and the sign of the pentagram appears, beware the dreaded evil which lurks among you. Yes, beware the malevolence of the of the evil Were-carp...its malodorous stench overcomes all those who near it and the only weapon to which the WereCarp succumbs is a solid silver fish hook. The Pisces is among those most at danger, for ancient tales reveal that the first Were-Carp was a Pisces and from his contagion sprang Earth’s greatest evil...so when the moon is full and the sign of the pentagram appears and the loathsome gurgle of the Were-Carp fills the night, stay out of the water and beware the Pisces.......

Dear Flabby Dear Flabby: I’m an elderly man in reasonably good health who loves metal music..my wife thinks I’ve got Alzheimer’s Disease but I think she’s just a party pooper. She put my Metallica albums in the oven and made gooey ash trays out of ‘em and now I can’t groove. What am I gonna do? A day w/out metal is like a day w/out sunshine ... help! Signed, Rocking Codger Dear Codger: Put 2 tablespoons of Redi-Mix concrete in her prunes and stand back & watch the fun...after about 3 days w/no relief I predict your love babe will be bangin her head right along with you... Signed, Dr. RnR Flabby
