NIGHTFLYING.COM • 33 YEARS OF TELLING YOU WHERE TO GO • 2013

I miss hating the Summer heat…

---anonymous Greetings and fair weather to you all…(no, really)… It is, of course, 4:20 in the a.m. of this fm sort of day, as we sit and wrap up the final tidbits of this, our Winter Daze edition…but then it’s always 4:20 in these parts, and when it’s not it’s 4:20 in some other parts, we’re sure.

First off, we needn’t tell you what a bitch Mother Nature has been of late… everyone has noticed it lately, no? They said to “move down to the sunny south, and leave this northern Wintry stuff behind” they said, “you’ll enjoy it” they said.

Somebody famous once said “beware of false prophets” and lately we have applied that notion to all these so-called “weather people”who tell us that the “worst part of Winter is behind us”, only to awaken the next day to find the water pipes have frozen and burst.

We’ve rebuilt our well-house now twice, and will have to do it again, for all the leaks that have sprouted. Ah, life in the country…

Thing is, these stations use such damn pretty people to tell us these fabrications. We think it’s a plot (no, really…)

It has wreaked sheer havoc on the club and concert bidness you can bet.

Even if the workers can manage to get there, the customers mostly can’t. We lost count of the cancelled shows we’d planned to attend, only because we and/ or the band couldn’t get there.

Aw well, it is that ornery 4-letter word that seems to pop up: life…what a squirrelly notion that can be…

We’ve actually started wondering if a coaliton of energy companies didn’t actually figure out a way to alter and control the jet-stream of the planet.

Actually.

Recall that back in the 60’s (er, that’s 1960s for some of you), there was a lot of talk about ultimately altering the weather by cloud-seeding and the like… and our old arch-enemies across the way actually announced that they could do it, too. If they wanted good weather for, say, a parade, or a government function or holiday or sporting event they’d just put the gears into motion and cause it to happen. (No, really…)

Don’t know about you, but we don’t think Texans are really that smart…

In general…….

Much has been delayed and that’s a fact. Even Mardi Gras this year isn’t happening ‘til March…what’s with that?!

What has kept us holding on, we think, is the fact that festival season in the Altered State is just around the corner…in a matter of weeks things will once again be starting up, and quite a number of them have been announced. Be sure to check out our award-winning Concert Calendar for all the details.

We’re proud to be able to announce several of our personal favorites are all in the works.

Wakarusa, of course, is one of the biggies on that list, for they present so many good bands that even hard-core music junkies like us can get overfixed.

(Notice we didn’t say “overdosed”…)

On the bill this year will be The String Cheese Incident, Bassnectar, The Flaming Lips, Umphrey’s McGoo, er, McGee, Dr. Dog, Michael Franti & Spearhead, The Werks, and dozens more, including a number of our own like Foley’s Van and Mountain Sprouts.

And tens of thousands of other music junkies will be there, too, simultaneously getting the music overfix…

Another show that excites us each year is the Blues In The Natural State festival that happens in Fayetteville.

This year the fest is 3 days long and will feature Tab Benoit, Samantha Fish, The Royal Southern Brotherhood, The Cate Brothers Band, Earl & Them (The Cate Brother Band), Brick Fields & The Chosen Ones, our IBC star Lucious Spiller, Isayah’s Allstars and a lot more…

Oh, and speaking of Lucious Spiller, congratulations are very much in order since out of several hundred entrants from throughout the world, he won second place at the International Blues Challlenge (IBC) recently. This, of course, is the largest blues music competition in the world and takes place in Memphis each year.

In all truth, Lucious Spiller is the most naturally talented musician we have ever encountered.

You’ve made us proud, Lu…and you showed the world the sheer calibre of our home-grown musicians…

On May 9 and 10 our good friends at Mudstomp Records have scheduled FayetteStomp ’14, which will present a major showcase of their artists…but they

Laissez les Bon Temps Rouler at the Eureka Springs Mardi Gras Extravaganza

Lucious Spiller – just being coy we suppose. They also wouldn’t budge when we reminded them that they haven’t done this festival for 14 years‌just said, “no, ’14 with the little deal in front of it, meaning the year we’re in.â€? We informed them that that “little dealâ€? is called an “apostropheâ€? to which they muttered something uprintable in a family newspaper and changed the subject...to the weather, of course.

Another really BIG event just announced is Jazzfest in the Crescent City, and everybody is set to play‌by that we do mean everybody‌ Just on the heels of Jazzfest is, of course, Memphis in May, which at this juncture of such a Winter is a delightful thought (sweating in the sweltering Memphis heat!)

There’s even been wind lately about The Roots Festival in Fayetteville‌ That’s certainly a hot time‌ In closing‌‌.

Well ladies and germs it’s about time to put this one to bed and get it off to the – gasp – printer, who be now are collectively describing us in most colorful terms‌none of which we could print in a family noosepaper (no, really)‌ Oh, before we close out we need to tell you about an important contest we are planning‌a face-making contest.

Over the next several weeks our lovely and so observant Nightying photographers will be moving about in the bars trying to capture the best faces anyone

can make. The winners, and there will be many, will have the chance to win some really nifty and cool prizes, including cash, concert tickets, t-shirts, CDs and the like, including tickets to many of the events we promote like Wakarusa, the Eureka Springs Blues Festival, The Hot Springs Blues Festival, Harvest Festival, Fort Smith Blues Festival and so on.

This will be an ongoing contest, so dream up and practice your best face, be it snarly, goofy, funny, stupid, crazy or what have you.

And it’s not limited to the photos our staff takes, either. Since everyone with a phone these days is a photographer, take your own best shot and shoot it to us at the email address: faces@nightying. com. Make sure you include all your contact info when you do because we’ll need to reach you for your prizes. You can enter as often as you wish, too‌and there’s no age restriction (!). (How often do you see that one?!)

It should be fun, and that’s what Nightying is all about, eh?!

And be sure to watch these pages, because we’ll be printing select faces in each edition from now on.

(No, really!)

2014 SXSW Nightflying Showcase Artist

Wendy Colonna

Multi-talented songstress to appear at midnite at The Steven F Bar ---Dori Colston This year’s SXSW Nightflying showcase artist is Wendy Colonna, a hard-working, self-made, self and fan-funded act who has been a professional musician since the age of 18. After several starts, stops, and near misses, her track is being laid out before her through shear tenacity, faith, a beautiful new project driven by a collection of wonderful and dedicated team members who believe in the principles behind not only her, but the message she bares in her latest album, Nectar.

The Unmistakable Sounds and Presence of Wendy Colonna You see, her rich, deep vocals are “smokey” an d “alluring” (according to the Austin Chronicle) as is her style of music and writing. In this day of genrebending styles, we can call her style Americana, which is true, but let’s just say she’s Louisiana-roots, soul, a little blues, a songwriter, country and more. Her performances are captivating as are her lyrics. As soon as she starts singing any inattentive crowd member is sure to whip their heads around to full attention. Integrate those elements with her striking, Italian/French dark looks and you have one Hell of a combination!

She’s been impressing fans and critics like this for quite some time, too. Her first major impression came as a college student in her late teens with musical parter Hannah Vincent in their college town of Natchitoches, Louisiana. Wendy and Hannah’s fledgling duo got a record deal in 1997, just one month after they had opened for Jeff Buckley in Conway, AR. Alas, their quickly made dream fell apart. “It was a lot of pressure for two 18 and 19 year old kids.”

From that point on Wendy made several critically acclaimed albums, traveled Nationally and Internationally with her music, and won several awards including Indiegirl,The International Music Awards, 100% Music, and The Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contests. Colonna also won Critics Pick and Fenom International Talent Competition , Famecast, and multiple other competitions…lets not bore this down, though.

Giving In to Faith and Fate After recording her 4th studio album, We Are One with producer Malcolm “Papa Mali” Welbourne in 2010, Wendy toured in support of the album. Along the road, however, the wear and tear of heavy touring resulted in an eight month long illness. “I couldn’t shake it. Trying to heal in ever-changing environments, altitudes and being on the road all the time was too much. My immune system eventually crashed . . . Ultimately, I decided to get off the road.”

She nearly quit the business. “I basically walked away from my career and the music business because I couldn’t physically do it any more.” Yet, fate has it’s way. She healed, drummed up th encourage to try again, and as she says, “I told the universe I was no longer in the driver’s seat and that I was willing to work hard at what was put before me, but wasn’t going to jeopardize my health for anything. I surrendered and waited to see what would happen.”

With nothing left to lose, Wendy had finally come to the conclusion that from then on out, she would try again, but guide herself by doing her best, trusting her instincts, and not have an attachment to the outcome.

Tapping Into “Nectar” In late 2012 Wendy met with longtime friend and colleague Mark Addison of Aerie Studios to discuss recording her “dark album”. Dark, maybe, but the album that resulted certainly came from a sweet place.

Wendy explains, “It’s a compassion piece. It’s courageous, confessional, vulnerable . . . because it was born from a place of having nothing left to lose and being willing instead of willful.” She, “Allowed things

to flow instead of trying to force an agenda” and with that attitude, faith and pulling together a team that also resonated with not only the songs, but the entire project- While writing and tracking the album Wendy describes “Everyone was on board and everyone was touched by the magic. We were playful, curious and all in service to the songs. The creation of the album with Mark and the other musicians was really healing for me. It was beautiful, refreshing, powerful and everyone seemed to not only ‘get it‘ but they soared with ‘it.’”

In our interview Wendy reflected, “Despite my scars and all sorts of dead ends in my past those very things made this record real and human and allowed me to take leaps of faith on its behalf.” She continued, “The world wants connection so bad. We are terrified of it, but we want it. And with these songs I hope that I offer some sort of connection. There are no break up songs or love songs on this album, but they are all VERY human and vulnerable. . . I hope they give listeners permission to be human, permission to reconcile old relationships that ended poorly, permission to have vices, permission to never have been in love and yet, despite the years, still be more innocent than before the scars came.”

In September of 2013, Wendy released Nectar regionally and it was received with critical acclaim throughout Texas, Louisiana and even across seas in Belgium. She has continued to build her already dedicated team and hired Suzanne Koga for Management (Grammy Award Winning Roberta Flack’s manager), and several other key members to drive the release of the album through the fall of 2013 and prepare for it’s national release and tour in Spring 2014.

And Now….

The reviews coming in are amazing: The songs are “soulful tunes of innocent sin . . . “Nectar” is a beautiful composition… it’s a collection of songs that has several lives to live...”

– Houston Music Review The critics agree from all the way from across the Atlantic. From Belgium: “The songs . . . are all pearls to discover…No flaws. Wendy ‘s voice sounds more seductive than ever: it winds its way through with a pronounced, elegant diversity . . .”

Been Here Before dept.

Steve Hester & DeJaVoodoo

Blues and Southern Rock are forté of Arkansas-based band

---David Hughes Deja vu...that eerie feeling that you’ve been there before...that you’ve done something before. Most of us have felt it. Maybe walking down a strange path when the feeling overcomes you and you can’t quite put your finger on it but you know it’s familiar. Sometimes deja vu rekindles something you may have lost at one time or it might inspire you to retrace a path you thought you had forgotten.

Steve Hester and his band mates in DeJaVooDoo have some unique connections that have brought them together. Hester is the front man for the four piece outfit that stakes its claim in the music arena with a mix of blues and southern rock. The band’s sound is hard driving and straight ahead, loaded with soul. Hester provides vocals and throws in some harp playing.

Guitarist Zach Hawkins holds down duties on guitar and vocals. Jason McPherson, the newest addition to the band plays drums. Long time Hester compadre Chip Goodwin provides slide guitar, keyboards and vocals to round things out.

Raised in the Corning, Arkansas area, Hester has been in the music ‘business’ since he was nine years old, singing in his church choir. Church, school plays, listening to the likes of Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley, all played a part in influencing Hester’s love of music and performing. When he turned ten he received his first bass guitar and by age sixteen was playing his first ‘professional’ gig.

“I’ve always loved it”, Hester states. “I always wanted to be a front man. That was what I wanted to do. We would play local clubs, places where I grew up.

Drive ins. Just any place that would let us play.”

“Mom and dad liked to go dance. They used to listen to the Ink Spots and some of the old rhythm and blues. My uncle liked Hank, Sr. I still remember the first time I heard Creedence Clearwater Revival. It just lit something up inside me. I thought ‘golly, I like that sound’. I didn’t even know what I was listening to.

Then Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers. That was my favorite music. I didn’t realize it was blues back then. Just some rock and roll guys playing blues.”

Hester has played in several bands through the years including Double Gauge, French Lick, Mojo 5.0 and Genesis. Yep, Genesis.

“We had no idea there was another one (Genesis). We just thought it was a cool name for a band.

Our first professional gig was at the Bel Aire Drive-In in Neeleyville, Missouri, in 1975. Three of us got paid $150 and played with a 4-channel Shure PA.” Hester moved to Little Rock in 1989. He had earned his Master Electrician license and followed the money to the big city. Hester currently owns Hester and Sons A/C, Appliance, Electrical and Remodeling in Cabot. Once in Little Rock, Hester began to make connections with local musicians. In 2001, DeJaVooDoo was formed.

The original DeJaVooDoo line-up included drummer Gerald Curtis on drums and cousin Bobby Wright on guitar. The current line-up with Goodwin, Hawkins and McPherson is a tight knit crew. Hester and Goodwin have known each other since they were six years old growing up in Corning. As they got older the two went in different directions. They managed to keep in touch over the years, mainly passing on the road.

Goodwin lives in Shreveport, Louisiana, and has had his own career in music for some time.

“We were playing in Texarkana and Chip came to hear us. We were in transition with our keyboard player leaving so we talked and he came up and jammed with us. We brought him on board. For me it was a no brainer. I’ve known him all my life.”

Hawkins met Hester at a blues jam at Thirst N Howl’s in Little Rock. He’s been with the band since November, 2011.

“Zach’s a kid but he’s mature for his years. He makes really good decisions, has no bad, noxious habits, which is better than most of us. We bonded immediately when we played at the jam.”

McPherson is the new kid on the block, joining the band in late 2012.

Hester and DeJaVooDoo have played in a lot of places through the years and have shared the stage

with some heavy hitters. Their resume includes opening gigs for Eric Gales, Chris Duarte, Smokin’ Joe Kubek, Johnny Winter, Lynyrd Skynyrd and BB King.

The band has competed in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis twice (2005 & 2006), played the King Biscuit Festival, showcased at the House of Blues (Dallas and Los Angeles) and performed at two Emmy Award parties in Los Angeles. By the time this article goes to press, DeJaVooDoo will have performed at the famous Zoo Bar in Omaha, Nebraska, and at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

“There was an A & R rep that followed us on twitter last summer. He asked if we’d be interested in coming to Los Angeles and playing two Emmy Award parties. Of course we would! So he lined those up.

He’s a super guy and also a hip hop artist. He told me

recently that they cued up our album and listened to it before they would perform. He called again and asked if we wanted to do Sundance. We’re hopeful it will help catapult us to the next level.”

Hester’s success to this point is a result of diligence and hard work. He has given up the road a couple of times through the years to raise kids and run a business. Hester was married in 1981 and the couple had their first child in 1982. He cut back his playing and found a day job with his parent’s heating and air business. From 1985 until 2001, Hester would be off the road and not playing music, putting time in to help with raising his sons. The marriage ended in 2000 and with his children grown, Hester got back into music, connecting with Doug Adams to form Mojo 5.0.

DeJaVooDoo formed in 2001. First known as Southbound, the band changed the name once they realized there were dozens of other bands with the same moniker. It became Steve Hester and DeJaVooDoo at the suggestion of one of the managers at Juanita’s Cantina.

had given up playing to be at home. With the growing feeling that he was losing his identity, Hester divorced in 2012.

“I decided to leave in 2012. I wasn’t me anymore.

So, I got out of it and started the band back up. It all makes for good songwriting material. Several have come and there are several more I have not written yet. But that’s the good thing about the blues. You can keep it light.”

Hester has a few new songs written and plans to do an album in the late spring or early summer. The song writing process is varied for Hester.

“The process is all different. Sometimes I’m driving down the road and it comes to me and I have to jot it down and it comes easy. For other songs, I’ve had the general idea and wrote something down five years ago and it never came. Then, one day I’ll sit down and go through my notes and think ‘Hey, I can add to this now’. We’re working on one we just finished called My Daddy’s Son. I wrote it five years ago and never did anything with it. But, with this band its really going to fit our style.”

“The song Can’t Take It With You When You Go came when I was driving down the road. I started in on a little recorder I kept in my truck. It was so powerful that I got up in the middle of the night and had to finish it. I wrote it in a matter of four hours.”

“One of my favorite songs is “When The Whistle Blows” from back when Bobby (Wright) was in the band. He and I were riding down the road with his five year old son (Ian Wright). We got stopped at some railroad tracks by a train. When it blew the whistle Ian said ‘Know what I’ve noticed dad? Every time that a train goes by a whistle blows’. The light bulb came on and I went home and wrote the song in less than an hour. I entered it in a poetry contest and won.”

Hester’s current CD Live at Juanita’s was recorded with the assistance of engineer Bryan Knight. Knight has an U-Haul style truck that is a rolling recording studio in it. He tapped into the house sound system at Juanita’s to get the music recorded in it’s true element.

“I love the way that record turned out. We had recorded some songs a few years back in a studio. They were polished but it was too clean and it didn’t capture the energy that we had live. Bryan had recorded a demo tape for me several years back at Cajun’s Wharf.

I was listening to it and thought ‘That’s what I want.

That’s what we sound like.’ When I asked Bryan he said let’s do it live.”

Hester and DeJaVooDoo have big plans for 2014.

With a strong pedigree of playing some great venues and festivals and sharing the stage with some of the finest in the business, Hester and company have built a solid foundation from which to jump. Starting with their performance at the Sundance Film Festival, the band plans on stretching their wings this coming year including expanding their audience base. “ We try not to book any venue in any city in Arkansas more than once a month. I have a firm belief that if you’re there every weekend you can’t start building that crowd up. You gotta be there often enough to get familiar but if you’re there every weekend you’re cutting your crowd down 25% every time you play. We are playing some in Louisiana and Texas.

Looking to go to Kansas and Nebraska. We are working on getting into Knucklehead’s (Kansas City) and Buddy Guy’s (Chicago), and a couple of places in St. Louis.

We are focused on becoming a more regional band, building a bigger following and then next year jump it up to a national level.”

Starting and stopping playing music, creating a bigger audience, coming back around every now and then to play, a band named DeJaVooDoo...Hmmm...

Sounds like deja vu all over again.

In 2004, Hester remarried. It wasn’t long before Hester was again asked to give up playing on the road and in the bars. He opted to play in his church band for a time before that too ended. Once again, Hester

GETTING WET IN HARRISON News from legally damp Boone County

---Joe Harless We’re smack dab in the middle of February as I write this and it’s been super cold and still is. Man, I’m looking forward to spring this year. Just to let you know my purpose here is covering the music scene in Boone County. I say that because people forget exactly what it is I do, and I need to remind myself once in a while, cause I forget also.

Anyway we’re holding on.

The music scene flourished for a while, and then almost died. If you were to graph the music scene here, it would look a lot like a stock market analysis on TV. Up down, up down, kind of down, slightly up, flat and a hump. Well its good news, we’re heading into a slightly up.

There’s a new bar, dare I say the word bar, that is called AJ’s Sports Bar & Grille. It’s about 4 miles outside Harrison in a cool little town called Batavia. The address is 8290 Hwy 392. It’s smack in the middle of town so you can’t miss it. When you pass Mr. Ed’s Muffler Shop, hit the brakes, pull to the right and you’re there. They’re doing live music and karaoke.

So far they’ve had the bands: Thunder Crow, The Ground Rattlers and Dirt Road Dogs. These are some of the best bands in the area and the restaurant has really awesome food. So if you venture north to Boone County, there’s one more place with live music. So let’s count them up, let’s see: The Brick Oven Pizza Company and AJ’s. Wow, that’s 2, like in one more than one. Pretty good for a whole county, huh?

To add to that ground shaking news, we’re starting a jam session up here in Lead Hill, Ar, Right on the corner of route 14 and the scenic route 7 sits a big old white two story building, it’s been a service station, a tackle shop and lord knows what else. But now it a good “old time diner” and it’s owned by a whole family of musicians. We’ve gone together to try and bring some music to the North Arkansas Peninsula, we’re calling it The Lead Hill Jam. The first one will be held on March 21st, and hopefully will continue every third Friday night of each month. It will start at 6:30 and go until who knows? Shakey Joe, that’s me, will ramrod the event. There’s a full PA, drum set and house guitars. It’s an EVERYBODY’S WELCOME JAM! We’re doing blues, rock, country, red dirt, bluegrass and who knows what else. There a lot of local musicians and songwriters up here, just itching for a place to play.

Homer Keyes, lead guitarist for the Ground Rattlers, will be there, plus Jody Turner and me on harmonica, Kelly Scott on drums and we hope a lot of you. Hopefully it turns out real good, and we’ll keep going all summer long. There are plenty of resorts and motels and the diner has great food, so you-all come hungry and play! Stay the weekend, go out on the lake, catch some fish or swim. For more info call 870-422-2988. Bring your axe and leave your problems behind and come play.

Good Blues To Ya, Shakey Joe

Stickyz Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicken Shack is one of the primo music rooms in the Altered State, and has been so for over a decade.

In February, look for shows with That 1 Guy (bizarre what this dude can do), Stephen Neeper & The Wild Hearts, Moot Davis, Tauk, Tragikly White, Sebadoh, Heavy Glow, Randall Shreve & The Sideshow, Freakabout, Sea Of Echoes, My Brother, My Friend, Shawn James & The Shapeshifters, John Neal The Vail, Ben Miller Band with Trampled Underfoot, The Spring Standards, Cody Canada & The Departed, Har Mar Superstar and more.

And right now, every Thursday is the Arkansas Times’ Musicians Showcase, with at least 5 or 6 bands. See our Sound Section for the listings.

And we’d like to thank the good Sticky people for being such gracious hosts for our Nightflying 33 Year Anniversary Bash. This is the perfect place for such a party, and the staff goes out of its way to accommodate us.

And again, we’d like to thank all the wonderful musicians who helped us celebrate. Truth is, we don’t do these parties to celebrate Nightflying all that much. Rather, in our minds we are celebrating that fact that we even have a music bidness in the Altered State….something that was rarely acknowledged before Nightflying came into being (which was exactly why we started this rag in the first place…)

We’ll do it again next year to be sure. Especially since Jimmy Tebeau and The Schwag should be back in action.

To reach the club call (501)372-7707, and for bookings call Chris King at (501)372-1151.......

You can thank Don Dugan for spreading the word about Barrett Baber being up for the Grammy Gig Of A Lifetime.

Barrett, of course, won this contest and got an expense paid trip with his band to Los Angeles, where he performed during the Grammy Awards Celebration. Barrett drew over 1.5 million votes, which was a half million more than his nearest competition. And you’ll get to see Mr. B at Dugan’s on February 21.

Other artists on the bill in the coming weeks are the Steve Bates Band, Rusty White, The White Collar Criminals, Brian Nahlen, Blue Wave, The Chris Allen Band, Shannon Boshears, a Mardi Gras bash, Brian Nahlen & Steve Bates, JD Eckert and more. Since St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Monday, Dugan’s will be doing their St. Patty’s Day parade on Saturday, March 15. It’ll be a ball.

And never forget that the last Thursday of each month is a huge and eclectic Jazz Jam… The food here is simply superb, the service is beautiful and the ambience is welcoming.

What‘s more, there‘s never a cover charge…I like that.

Adjacent to Dugan’s is Stratton’s Market, where River Marketeers can buy many of the necessities of life: sandwich-

es, candy, delicious desserts, and basics such as soft drinks, cookies, and all sorts of important munchies.

And a new extension of Stratton’s is a full-blown liquor store as well.

Dugan s is located at 403 E. 3rd. For bookings call Don between 2 and 4 p.m. weekdays.

Call (501)244-0542 for details and information.......

And moving down the street, The Rev Room, the concert room in the River Market, always has an exciting calendar, and this time out it is no exception.

Look for the Texas Hippie Coalition, Granger Smith, Backroad Anthem, Pretty Things Peep Show, Cabaret Kittens, The Revolutioners, Jessica Carder, Texas songsmith Robert Earl Keen, Houndmouth, Willie Watson, and An Evening with Keller Williams. On March 7th will be the Finals for the Arkansas Times Musicians’ Showcase.

There will be a very special show at The Rev Room on the first. Monsters of Todd, which is a tribute to the late Todd Mills being put on by some of his old bandmates and nearly a dozen other bands. Check out the feature on this show elsewhere in this edition.

See the Sound section for all the dates and artists.

And don‘t forget that outdoor smoking deck facing the river, complete with full service from the inside.

While you re there, check out the food at Rumba, it is, in a word, excellent.

For bookings contact Chris King at (501)372-1151.……

Had a big time at the White Water Tavern a few weeks back when I attended Jack Hill’s 70th birthday party. Amy Garland and her entourage made the music, and that club was crowded. Jack, of course, was the music and entertainment editor at the Democrat Gazette for years, and is a fine feathered friend. (Hey, all of us media hacks tend to gravitate together…we are especially fond of free food and drink, you know?)

White Water Tavern checks in this month with a very fine roster. Look for New York City Queens, Brother Andy & His Big Damn Mouth, Joshua Asante, The Cedric Burnside Project, John Paul Keith & The One Four Fives, Magic Hassle, The Dangerous Idiots, Bonnie Montgomery, Paleface, Jimbo Mathus & The Tri-State Coalition, Adam Faucett, Jesse Aycock, Gossary, Water Liars, and much more.

And the full bar is a legendary watering hole known the world over. Seriously…

For bookings contact Matt White at (501)375-8400…….

Stack, Sweet Mother, Mayday By Midnight, Crash Meadows, Mother Hubbard & The Regulators, Gas Station Disco, and a lot more.

West End is the ultimate sports bar with more tvs than I can count in every conceivable place, even the men’s room (!)

And West End serves its full menu until 1 in the a.m. 7 nights a week.

For bookings call (501)224-7665.......

Caught the Super Bowl at Midtown Billiards, and it was a perfect place to see it. Thing is, it was definitely not a great game, even though I’m from Seattle. Truth is, I have seen better games with Junior High School teams. I felt embarassed for Seattle and I suspect they felt it too. Alas, poor Denver had to go on home without a trophy.

Midtown, of course, is Arkansas’ Answer to the Crescent City smoky dives. It’s a smokey dive bar. But they also serve the best cheeseburgers in The Known World…

On the bill are Ed Bowman & The Rock City Players, the Stephen Neeper band, Strange Derangers, Eric Somer, an enormous all-nite celebration for Mardi Gras, South Thieves and more.

Midtown is an authentically funky New Orleans style poolhall dive where folks in the club bidness close out the night, and it s open 7 days a week until daybreak.

For bookings call Conan, at (501)372-7110.......

And while we‘re on the subject, I‘m happy to report that the other Midtown, the new TCs Midtown Grill in Conway, is going great. In a city long known for being a “dry” college town, there are now at least half a dozen true watering holes, including one that is a smoking bar…and that is TCs Midtown Grill.

With live bands on weekends, lots of pool tables, shuffleboards, an enormous concert sound and light system, a full bar and even an extensive menu of bar food, the room has quickly become a hit with the Conway party crowd.

Set to appear in the coming weeks are Big Shane Thornton, White Collar Criminals, Markus Pearson, The John Neal Band, The Stephen Neeper Band, One Way Road, Third Degree, Papa Grande, Liqid Kitty and more..

It is, basically, becoming Party Central for the area.

TCs is open 7 days a week.

See their ad on page 3 of this edition for the map to the place.

For bookings call (501)205-0576...

West End Smoke House & Tavern keeps the party going 7 days a week.

Appearing at the club in the coming weeks are Splendid Chaos, the incredible Jason Greenlaw & the Groove, Big

Jason Greenlaw

out.

King‘s, on Front Street, is becoming a true college hang-

In the coming weeks look for Young Buffalo, War Chief, Larissa Gudino, Jacki Thomasson, Tom Kennedy, Trey Hawkins Band, Cheyenne Nichols, The Pack The House Benefit, with My Btother My Friend, Taylor Nealey, Akeem Kemp, Jamie Lou Thies, Roger Tipton, American Lions, Cutty Rye, The Flipoff Pirates, Knox Hamilton and Engine.

ALLIGATOR RECORDS SIGNS BLUES GUITARIST/VOCALIST/SONGWRITER

Entire band flown to Los Angeles for coveted Grammy ceremony concert after millions of fans vote on Facebook

New Cd, ‘Refuse To Lose’, set for May 2014 Release

Lands Grammy Gig Of A Lifetime

To my Fans and Supporters: So how does a dude who‘s been playing his acoustic guitar for tips and beers for a decade get 1.5 million votes in a national music contest? He had to have cheated right? †He had to have rigged the voting right? †NOPE. †He had a secret weapon. †He‘s from ARKANSAS! A little over a month ago I was informed that I was a top 40 finalist in the CBS Grammy Gig of a Lifetime contest. I submitted my song “Drop Dead Redhead“ at the urging of one of my fans. After being named a finalist, initially I thought, “cool, I‘ll post it on my Facebook and see if people might vote a few times for me“.

Less than 30 days later I stood in front of 2000 people at Club Nokia in LA and began to play a set full of original songs as the winner of the contest. It still feels like a dream. It still amazes me that it happened. It‘s all because of people like you. †Nightflying is giving me a chance to tell you thanks. †Here goes nothing: My secret weapon in the Grammy Gig contest was that I was from Arkansas. One thing I‘ve always loved about this state is the way the people get behind their own. No matter what, if you‘re from Arkansas, and you‘re doing something cool, the people will get behind it. †If you‘re representing Arkansas on a national level, prepare to have the support of the people you represent. Thats how it happened for me.

One Facebook share led to two, two to four four to eight etc. It was as if I had dropped a match into a gas can. The explosion of support from this state was incredible.

The best word to describe how I feel about the people who took the time to vote for me is “humbled“. I have been blown away by the willingness of people to support a guy who they‘ve never met. If you took the time to vote for me, thank you. I will always be in debt to your kindness. I will always wear your support as a badge of honor. My goal is to represent the people who support my music in a way that they can always proudly claim me as their own.

Additionally, I owe the mass media outlets in Arkansas a huge debt of gratitude. TV stations, radio stations, news papers all jumped on board and supported my quest to win this “gig of a lifetime.“ Without them the word certainly wouldn‘t have spread as fast as it did.

Thank you.

I made some wonderful new friends along the way as well. I simply cannot thank the people at CBS interactive enough. The producers, the camera guys, the production

assistants, everyone. The experience was incredible. The lifelong connections my bandmates and I made while in L.A. are a testament to music being the ever present connector of people.

Is winning this contest the pinnacle of my music career? Hopefully not.

Was it a validation of many years of hard work and development? Most definitely.

The truth is, it could not have happened without the support of people like you. If you supported me in the journey thank you. If you did not, come on out to my next show, I‘d love the chance to win you over.

As for the future, I‘m not sure what it holds. I am however certain of 4 things. I will always love my wife Sarah Baber, I will always love my children, I will always love making music and I will ALWAYS be proud to call ARKANSAS my home!

My bandmates that went on the trip with me are Aaron Schauer - Keyboard Miguel Gamboa - Drums Greg Guillot - Bass TJ Scarlett- Lead Guitar These are my regular guys that play every full band show with me The producers of the show said there were over 6.5 million votes cast in the contest.

I got 1.5 million votes and beat the nearest competitor by over 400,000 votes On the connections thing if you could list this email address instead of my cell phone that would probably work best. mailto:graydogmusi c@hotmail.com“graydogmusic@hotmail.com.

CBS flew us all out there and paid our lodging expenses. It was awesome. †They gave us the royal treatment for sure.

There are a couple things in the mix for us down the road.

1st, My song “Arkansas, Get There From Here“ has been selected as a finalist in the Board of Tourism song of Arkansas songwriting contest. We hope to do well in that contest which will continue our exposure in Arkansas and regionally. 2nd we are working on new songs for a new record. This time we are planning on stepping our production level up by raising capitl to record at a higher level. †With new masters, the next step is film and TV placement. Of course....we‘ll be gigin while all of this is taking place.

Thank you for everything. I‘ll see you under the lights! Barrett

Jarekus Singleton

---Sondra Goode Alligator Records is pleased to announce the signing of Clinton, Mississippi‘s award-winning guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, 29-year-old Jarekus Singleton. He is one of the brightest, most exciting young stars on the blues scene today. His cutting-edge, streetwise music -- melding contemporary and traditional blues with rock energy and hip-hop wordplay -- turns audiences of all ages into devoted fans. With his blazing guitar licks and strong, soulful voice, Singleton brings his up-to-the-minute take on the blues to every song he writes and performs. From ferocious and funky to slow and steamy to smoking hot, Singleton is a young blues master carrying the blues into the future.

Singleton‘s label debut, REFUSE TO LOSE, has just been completed and is set for a May 2014 release. The album of all original songs was produced by Alligator Records president Bruce Iglauer along with Singleton, and recorded at PM Music in Memphis, engineered and mixed by veteran engineer Pete Matthews.

According to Iglauer, “Jarekus Singleton is one of the most dynamic and creative of the new generation of blues artists. With his deep Mississippi roots and his innovative songwriting, he‘s creating fresh, relevant blues for today‘s audiences. I‘m thrilled to have him join the Alligator Records family.“ The Jarekus Singleton Band is one of the most popular blues bands in Mississippi, and they are positioned to conquer the national and international scene. They‘ve been tearing up clubs, concert halls and festivals across the South, and performed twice at the world-renowned Chicago Blues Festival. The band has been featured at South Carolina‘s Lowcountry Blues Festival and Festival of Discovery as well as many other festivals in the South and clubs throughout Mississippi. Singleton is managed by Peggy Brown at Hit The Road Entertainment, and was recently signed by Blue Mountain Artists booking agency. He and his band will play a number of high-visibility festivals and club dates, including Springing The Blues Festival, Biscuits & Blues in San Francisco, The North Atlantic Blues Festival, The PA Blues Festival, and The Cincinnati Blues Festival, with many more dates to be added.

Jarekus self-released his first CD, Heartfelt, in 2011. Fans were not the only ones taking notice.

Three songs from that CD, I‘m Leaving You, Singing The Blues, and Gotta Believe Me, are in regular rotation on B.B. King‘s Bluesville on XM/Sirius Radio, the most-listened-to blues radio station in the world. But radio wasn‘t alone in praising the rising blues star, as the rest of the world began paying attention. Singleton was named a “star on the rise“ by Blues & Rhythm magazine in the UK. Guitar Center named him the 2011 King of the Blues in Mississippi. He received the Jackson Music Award for 2012 Blues Artist of the Year and for 2013 Local Artist of the Year. The Jackson Free Press named him the 2013 Best Local Blues Artist.

Born into a family of church musicians and vocalists on July 11, 1984 in Clinton, Mississippi, Jarekus Singleton was immersed in gospel music as a child. Taught by his uncle, Jarekus began playing bass guitar at age nine in his grandfather‘s church band. He later switched to lead guitar and began to sharpen his instrumental and vocal skills, falling in love with the music of all three Kings (B.B., Albert and Freddie) as well as Stevie Ray Vaughan, rapper Jay-Z and even country artist Brad Paisley. In his late teens, Jarekus pursued a career in basketball, becoming a top-seeded national player in college until an injury took him back to his music full time. For a short period he performed as a rap artist, writing his own lyrics. Before long though, he began combining his rap wordsmithing with the music of his Mississippi heritage, creating a thoroughly modern, masterfully updated take on the blues.

Living Blues praised Singleton for “blending styles and elements across genres and generations.“ Audiences at his shows run the gamut from older blues fans to younger rockers and rap aficionados. Knowing from his time on the basketball court that there is no substitute for hard work, Singleton is single-mindedly driven to succeed.

“Blues is honest music,“ according to Singleton, who is determined to put his own stamp on the genre. “I love the blues tradition, and have always been inspired by the masters. But I want to create something for today‘s audience that is as original and new as those blues masters were when they first started making records. I want to create blues for the 21st century.“ Confirmed tour dates below: March 22 - Underground 119, Jackson, MS April 5 - Springing the Blues Festival, Jacksonville Beach, FL April 11 - Jackson Zoo Fest, Jackson, MS April 19 - Underground 119, Jackson, MS May 17 - Stomp the Blues Out of Homelessness, Springfield, MO May 23 & 24 - Biscuits & Blues, San Francisco, CA

We thank all the good folks of the fort area for joining us for our 33-year anniversary bash. It was a grand time, indeed, and the good folks of Webby D’s played the perfect hosts. The fact is they rarely have music shows on Sunday anyway, so the great turnout was particularly gratifying.

Of course, when you have musicians like this, it had to be good. Tyrannosaurus Chicken, Tom Ware & Co., Jamie Lou Thies, Dale Fraze, Wanda Watson, The Bannister Brothers Band, Judge Parker, Wanda Watson, the Mark Albertson Trio, Grant Pierson, Laura Pierson, Steve Dufresne, The Warewolves, Chuck Pate and quite a number of your basic strays kept the music going for about 8 hours straight…well, there really weren’t a lot of “straight” people there…especially with all these musicians…, but you get the point.

Webby D’s is quite the musical party room in FSA anyway. The club is open 7 days a week, and there’s always something going on there.

Set to appear at the club in the coming weeks are Mountain Sprout, Totojojo, Dustin Tillsley, Friends of the Phamily, Isayah’s Allstars, HighBall, Tragikly White (!), The Brandon Butler Band, Hillbilly Vegas, Montu and a bunch more. 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. Of course, the club always does rather well given the fact that the food, while being New Orleans style, is actually superior to whatever you can get in New Orleans…and now that we are into Mardi Gras season, Landry’s definitely kicks it up a notch or three.

Food is superb here, and the music is stellar.

Set to appear in the next several weeks are Grant Pierson, Shelley King, Richard Burnett, Jamie Lou Thies, Rachel Fields The Chosen Ones, The Crumbs, The Tom Ware Trio, Keith Nicholson, The Mark Albertson Trio,

Neumeier’s Rib is still down for the season, of course. Things will get going here as the weather starts to warm up, you can bet. Actually, Bill is almost as much a music freak as we are, and he’s quite knowledgeable and only features the best musicians in his club.

For bookings at the Rib Room call Bill at (479)494-RIBS (7427)…….

Heroes has finally reopened and we’re glad of that. The new address is 1002 Garrison, and they’re open 7 days a week.

The Movie Lounge is a happening place, especially on Tuesday nights when Mr. Tom Ware and his pals make their music. Tom is, of course, one of the reasons we even started this publication. In those days we couldn’t help but notice that no matter where we travelled the players we’d encounter in general didn’t hold a candle to the Arkansas players like Tom. He is an exciting guitar player, prominent vocalist, a helluva a fiddle player and just an all-around excellent showman. On top of all that, he knows thousands of musicians from coast to coast and beyond, and they all seem to jump on any chance they might get to play with him. There’s nothing funner for an accomplished player than to make music with a real professional, and on any given night there’s simply no telling who might be on that stage with him.

Other acts set to appear in the coming weeks are Cutthroat Trout, the Jeff Bowling Jazz Quartet, The Boss Tweeds, some guy named robb, Gary Hutchison and a lot more.

Celebrity Concerts to feature Arlo Guthrie in Concert and Songwriting Workshop Arlo Guthrie tickets now on sale; first in series of 2014 Celebrity Concerts Mountain View, Arkansas • Those looking for the perfect holiday present this year might want to consider purchasing tickets to the March 29, 2014 Arlo Guthrie concert, at the Ozark Folk Center State Park’s auditorium.

Arlo carries on the tradition, started by his father Woody Guthrie, of promoting traditional and modern styles of American Folk music.

Reserved premium tickets, which cost $40 each, can be purchased over the phone or in person through the Ozark Folk Center’s administration office at 870-269-5823 or through the Cabins at Dry Creek at 800-264-3655.

General tickets, which cost $30 each, can also be purchased over the phone or through the administration office and cabins. In addition, general tickets will also be sold at the park’s Homespun Gift Shop and the General Store.

According to Mr. Guthrie’s official website, his career exploded in 1967 with the release of “Alice’s Restaurant,” whose title song premiered at the Newport Folk Festival and helped foster a new commitment among the 1960s generation to social consciousness and activism.

His “Here Comes the Kids” tour will be on the road through May 2014. Mr. Guthrie is joined by his son, Abe Guthrie (keyboards and vocals), Bobby Sweet (on guitar and vocals), and old friend Terry A La Berry (drums and vocals).

Mr. Guthrie’s concert is the first in the series of 2014 Celebrity Concerts at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. For more information on upcoming Celebrity Concerts, visit the Ozark Folk Center’s website at www.ozarkfolkcenter.com or call 870-2693851.

The History of Boyd Music Center, Part 4: First Expansion and Drum-O-Rama ---Bob Boyd In the Summer of 1966, business was going so well with all the major lines of guitars and amps. Also because of our drum teaching studios and the Beatles “revolution,” there was a big demand for drum outfits. Drum outfit displays take up a lot of room, so I needed more floor space.

Just about that time, our next door neighbor in our building on the west side, Oak Forest Plumbing Supply, decided to move to larger quarters and vacated their twentyby-eighty space. I decided to add this space and was granted a first-year’s rent of $150 per month. That sounds like “chump change” now, but it was the going rate per square foot in 1966. I had about a 10-foot alcove cut through the wall, built myself a 20X20 modern office in the front and put the drum department into some of the space, and a large stock room in the back. Later I built several more offices. Then I made a deal with Slingerland, Ludwig, Premier and Rogers drums to stock and display all their best sets. I also had Apollo, a Japanese import, and Sonor, an import from Germany for entry-level players, among others.

We liked to throw big parties in those days. We would often celebrate the anniversary day of Boyd Music Center, with “Bands On The Roof.” The best local bands would volunteer to play an hour show on the “stage,” the front overhang of our building, for the advertising and promotion of their names. More about them next month.

One of these events we called the “Drum-O-Rama.” We set up about 40 complete drum outfits, they call them “kits” now, on our huge front parking lot. The weather was perfect that day and we had a huge audience. Somewhere I have a home movie of that “field of drums,” and in the distance you see the skeleton of the high-rise building going up at the corner of University and 12th Street.

Many of our students from those years are now veteran pro drummers: Ty Corbett, for example, who started lessons with our teacher Harold Murchison on an Apollo drum set. Ty went on to travel for over five years with many of the Nashville stars, including Dottie West, Jerry Reed and Mel Tillis. I remember Ted Seibs walking and playing from set to set at our Drum-O-Rama; Ted traveled and played drums with jazz vibra harp player Gary Burton.

We had some wonderful guys and gals as associates during those years. As I recall all those times, my heart swells with gratitude for everyone, every staff member, customer and musician, who played a part in making my dreams come true for Boyd Music. It was as if my dream was their dream, too, and they were all willing to contribute their time, talent and effort to make it all happen.

Next Month: Part 5: Happy Boyd Day Celebrations 1967-1982

A Secret Brotherhood ---John Calvin Brewer I recently took a trip and attended a local “jam” in Southern California to play some guitar while on vacation. It never ceases to amaze me, the welcoming feeling I get from musicians that I’ve never met. It usually starts with a little skepticism on both parts like, “whats this guy got”. In turn I’m wondering how my team will play, kind of like getting picked for the team as a school child by a team captain. There is always an equal amount of great musicians and poor ones alike at most any “jam” I’ve attended.

Like the guy that shows up religiously every week but can’t play a lick, but he’s still there.

Or the youngsters that are just learning & no one denies them playing time because its known they share the same music passion.

By the end of the night I’m able to talk to strangers like old friends with the common bond that music creates. After you share a moment on stage with another person, or even on your front porch, you have instantly created a bond & a short look into another’s mind. The same way brothers or sisters seemingly finish each others thoughts.

The night began with hand shakes & introductions, then ended with hugs from strangers I had only met a few hours before.

As I reflect on the events of a wonderful night, it made me realize the secret brotherhood musicians create is as strong or stronger as any society such as Free Masonry or Fraternities.

Musicians even communicate in a langu

age most non musicians would not understand. They help each other with benefits in time of need, & come together for the community. I even forgot my guitar one time & borrowed one from a friend of a friend whom I’d never met two hours away from home - you may know him as Gregg Almond.

Don’t get me wrong…there is an element of healthy competition…as a musician you should try and surround yourself with better players to help you progress & grow.

Every year I look forward to Nightflying Magazine’s anniversary party, getting together our musical community like a family reunion. Sometimes I feel like I have a closer bond with fellow musicians than at my own actual family reunion.

When I walk into my local music store, (Guido’s Hot Springs Music) I know I will get a warm welcome from the owner (especially if I owe him money).

So if you are picking up a guitar, pair of drum sticks, or any instrument for the first time, know that you are entering a secret brotherhood that is able to reach across the globe, language barriers, race or creed.

If you are already a part of this brotherhood, protect it and respect your fellow musicians.

You never know when you may need them.

Typical Arkansaw weather: it gets cold and you pull all your potted plants in, then it warms up again so you tote ‘em back outside and a quiet, friendly night plunges into ice by morning, so … well, those of you who moved the plants and / or pets inside and kept them there reap the benefit of foresightedness while the rest of us poor schmucks endure the loss of our little herb gardens and the destruction of our kitchen doors by the dogs scratching at them to be let in from the frigid air.

Meanwhile, a lot has been going on in the outside world, or so I’m told. I don’t really know; I quit paying attention some time ago. Every now and then though, I get a glimpse of something. Nobel laureate Doris Lessing died at 94. She wrote a lot of books, good books, trying to get people to recognize the plight of women in this world. Check out “The Golden Notebook.”

Women bear our children, do most of the work around the house, raise the children, even take an outside job, generally low-paying, and endure the ignominy of being belittled and / or bedeviled by the very guys they work for / with. Yet, at least according to sociologist Suzanne Bianchi, who also passed away recently at 61, still manage to spend as much quality time with the kids as stay-at-home moms. Who’d a thunk it?

Famed folksinger Pete Seeger has passed from this plane in a New York hospital at 94. A Marlboro man, Eric Lawson, has died from lung disease at 72. And the professor from Gilligan’s Island, Russell Johnson, has escaped this mortal coil at 89.

Phil Everly, the younger of the Everly Brothers, has passed on at 74. Bye bye, love. And Jerry Coleman, a solid Yankee infielder, has turned his last double play at 89. Eusebio also has left the playing field at 71. He was the soccer legend who scored 733 goals in 745 matches and led Portugal to a third-place finish in the 1966 World Cup. Penn Kimball (98) was a journalist who sued the government over its declaration that he and his wife were security risks and won, forcing the FBI and CIA to give up the files.

John Hawk (89) was a hero who earned the Medal of Honor during WWII by attacking and overtaking enemy machine gun emplacements, leading to the capture of 500 German soldiers.

The cellist Kermit Moore (84) recently passed. He was also a composer and conductor who fought for the rights of minorities to play in orchestras, in addition to championing 20th Century composers. Another cellist - composer, Brit-born John Taventer (69), passed as well. He was noted for his religious music.

A giant has passed from the Earth. Nelson Mandela was a fighter for justice and equality, for which he spent some five times as many years in prison as I, and a former President of South Africa (elected after his release from durance vile).

He did more than any other person to dispel apartheid in his homeland. In his youth he was a boxer and a diplomat in the end. Nelson Mandela was 94.

Ariel Sharon, 85, former leader of Israel and one of its old warriors, suffered a stroke in 2006 and slipped into coma.

He passed gently into that good night. Amiri Baraka, 79, was a poet, playwright, and activist for racial equality. He was formerly known as LeRoi Jones. Augusto Odone has died at 80.

He was the father of Lorenzo Odone, whose diagnosis of ALD and a projected lifespan of six years spurred Augusto to experiment with various oils until he came up with a concoction that helped his son live to 30 (the oil is still in use for ALD patients).

On the other side, Mikhail Kalashnikov has died at 94.

If the name is not familiar, think AK-47. And on another note, Yusef Lateef has passed at 93. He was a saxophonist who was active over several decades and introduced the jazz world to Eastern melodies and rhythms.

Another civil rights pioneer has passed: The Reverend T. J. Jemison of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who led a bus boycott in 1953 and advised Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the bus boycott sparked by Rosa Parks. He was a co-founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and served twelve years as

the leader of the seven-million-strong National Baptist Convention USA. He lived to be 95.

Peter O’Toole has passed on as well. What an actor. What a character, even when he wasn’t acting, or is it that he was never not acting? He was 81. Oscar-winning actress Joan Fontaine has gone on too; her biggest rival was older sister Olivia de Havilland, who win two.

Paul Walker lived fast and furious, but happy-go-lucky, and died in a car crash at 40. Michael Weiner, on the other hand, was more formal, leading baseball out of the morass of labor strife in his duties as executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association. He was 51.

Tom “Billy Jack” Laughlin also kicked the bucket at 82 and country singer Ray Price has sung his last ballad at 87. And leave us not forget Al Goldstein, publisher of Screw magazine and constant harasser of the stuck in the mud. He was 77. Then there was Run Run Shaw, film producer famous for popularizing martial arts movies. He lived to be 106.

Ever hear of Hiroo Onoda, the Japanese Army officer who stuck to his post in the Philippines for twenty years after the end of World War II because he didn’t believe his country had surrendered? Dead at 91.

W. J. “Yankee Dick” Wylie was a music lover, especially classical, an ex-cop, a master electrician, father of a chief warrant officer in the U. S. Coast Guard, fancier of pornography, and a buddy of mine from our days in Turkey with the U. S. Air Force back in the early 1960s. He was found dead in his bed in Hot Springs recently. Dying in your sleep at 71 ain’t too shabby.

So long, blood brother.

LIGHTING UP THE MOON Wild Ride indie We’ve reviewed a couple of their albums but this is a single. It is also quite different from their other music, in that, well, first off there’s this Dylanesque harmonica and then a peppy folk harmony that would fit right into the Fifties. Anyway, Kerri and Marek Lisiak still rock, although on a much easier platform here. I like it (but had I heard it without knowing who was playing, I’d never have guessed it was these two). Check out www.wildriderocks.com for further information and definitely watch the sound listings for any opportunity to catch them live.

JUKE JOINT CHAPEL Charlie Musselwhite Henrietta Been wondering about old Charlie, had not heard from him in quite a while, and up jumps the devil. He still has total mastery over the blues harp and he has gathered a group of guys who provide him with the base to show it from: drummer June Core; guitarist Matt Stubbs; bassist Mike Phillips (who also adds a backup vocal on one cut). They lay down a solid line and Charlie sings and harps right down that line and all around the room. Dude still has it, opening bar to final note.

HERE I COME Eddie Cotton DeChamp First notes made me think of B B King, but then Eddie gets into his own groove right after that opening lick and sets his parameters. Cotton is a singer who clips his words and phrases, depending a lot more on bending notes on his Gibson than in his vocal delivery. That should be fine with any blues lover, as he has definitely mastered guitar. Which is not to say that he’s not a good singer; he is, but his vocals, good as they are, finish second to his string work. He also exhibits a debt to gospel, another understandable trope. He gets good backup from Myron Bennett on bass, Samuel Scott, Jr on percussion, Sam Brady on organ, and Carlos Russell and Grady Champion (who also produced, along with Sam Brady and Eddie Cotton, Jr) on harmonica. Ten original tunes await your perusal. Contact DeChamp Records, P O Box 1702, Canton MS 39046 or David Fleischman at Right Way Entertainment, 9160 Tryon Cove, Memphis TN 38018 (901)757-8020 for the rest of the story.

MIDNIGHT BLUE Tinsley Ellis Heartfixer / Landslide Another old-time blues rocker heard from: Tinsley Ellis, guitarist extraordinaire (and Gibson enthusiast), brings ten originals along with Kevin McKendree (keys), Lynn Williams (percussion), and Ted Pecchio (bass), for our entertainment.

I never noticed this before, but on a couple of these cuts he sounds like he is channeling Eric Clapton. That could just be my tin ear, but then again, there are only so many notes and so many ways to play them and only so many variations of voice / melody / rhythm and what-have-you, so I reckon anybody can sound like somebody else at any given moment. And if I were going to occasionally sound like someone other than myself, Clapton would be one of my top choices. But Tinsley Ellis does have and has always had his own sound and here it is, recorded at The Rock House in Franklin, Tennessee. Check out www.tinsleyellis.com for more details or www.landsliderecords.com for even more details.

magicismusic.com

was recorded at Black Wings Studio in Water Valley, Mississippi. It is mostly upbeat and quite enjoyable. Go on to www. daviscoen@earthlink.net and holler at him. Tell him I said hey.

RED RIVER DRIFTER Michael Martin Murphey Red River I haven’t heard from this fellow in quite a while, so it was a treat to get this album. I never really noticed this before, but he sounds a hell of a lot like Ricky Skaggs. Well, not all the time, but still. Dude had a major hit back in the day and he’s still around, still pickin’ and singin’ and I reckon havin’ a good time at it. More power to him. His son Ryan plays guitar and mandolin and contributes backing vocals as well as writing or co-writing many of the songs. It’s a good album, recorded in Nashville and Franklin, Tennessee. Find out more at michaelmartinmurphey.com.

TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW J J Thames DeChamp Tell you this: she knows how to handle a tune. You’ve heard of the crossroads and the various legends attached thereto, well, Ms Thames is not at a crossroad actually, as in one highway crossing another, no, she’s at the confluence of gospel, soul, and rhythm ‘n’ blues and she glories in it. She has a most supple voice, the kind that doesn’t have to be enunciating words even, just a little moan here, a shout there, and a trill riding on top of the melody and the backbeat … burning, y’know?

Then she whispers a lyric and it tingles. Oh, got a good band too: Grady Champion on harmonica; Richard Beverly on trumpet; Todd Bobo on tenor sax; Mike Weidick on trombone; Sam Brady on keys; Celeb Armstrong, Eddie Cotton, Doug Frank, and Danny Scallions on guitars; David Hyde on bass; Vince Barranco on drums. Make contact through Right Way Entertainment (901) 757-8020. Oh, and I just heard from Boogie Mason that this album has debuted at #3 on the Billboard chart!

SONGS OF THESE HANDS John Henry & Friends indie John Henry has a raspy voice that is perfectly suited to these tunes. I didn’t get any information on this disc, so I don’t know where it was recorded or how to contact the artist(s). I do know that John Henry sings and plays guitar and that his friends (in this case) are: Adam Collins on banjo; Patti Steele on clarinet, mandolin, and vocals; Brennan Johnson on drums and washboard; Tom Anderson on bass and AJ just walked through and said “who is this guy? I like him” and that’s high praise indeed. Oh yeah, I also know that it says on the cover “written and recorded by” over that John Henry & Friends logo, so I think I can conclude that it’s original music anyway. I like it too.

GET BACK IN Davis Coen Soundview Coen has been around for some time now, making music.

This is his ninth album and he has made all sorts of appearances, both concerts and festivals, radio shows, and even television. He has called his style contemporary country blues and that seems to fit just fine. He sings and plays guitar and harmonica, backed on this effort by Justin Showah on bass, Eric Carlton on keys and accordion, Robert Chaffe on keys, Richard Alan Ford on steel guitars and banjo, Johnny Ciaramitaro on mandolin, and Jessie Munson on violin. The music

MASTER KEY Captain Nowhere 4 Leaf There is a big Roy Buchanan influence here, as well as a bit of the otherworldly vibe you’re going to get from any California band. Captain Nowhere is Nick Antell on lead guitar, Brandon Rogers on bass guitar, Tyler Berger on drums, and Ian Gilley on keys, including synth. Some of the tunes (instrumentals all) end rather abruptly; “hard” is the term AJ uses. What the hell, good old California space rock … wonder if these guys ever met Captain Cosmos? Seek ye www.captainnowhere.net for more data.

WHEN Stevi Madison indie Oh, I was hoping she sounded as good as she looks and by golly, she does. Apparently she is from southern California but had the country taste to move to Nashville to hone her sound.

Started singing at four, wrote her first song at twelve, and by eighteen had her a band together, playing gigs. She’s good and she’s probably going to keep getting better so check her out. Included with the three-song EP was a single, her newest, which does nothing to belie what I just wrote. For more information just try to get into contact with Ellie Smith, MMS Entertainment, send2ellie@aol.com or call 949-315-0998.

SONGS FROM NO ONE IN PARTICULAR Jeff Bell Rots Interesting, but dude needs to figure out whether he’s Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen. I thought he was going to be punk from the first cut, but that was the only time he got rotten vicious, y’know? After that first shot, it gets rather draggy as he struggles to find his own sound (and sounds to me as if he’s leaning toward Cohen). Bell is not exactly nihilist, nor pessimist, but if you like sweetness and light, well, skip this disc.

Cohen fans, on the other hand, might find it interesting. And hey, wipe away your tears, the cat can croon a credible love song. See www.jeffbellmusic.com for more particulars.

very good, at least one or two terrific. This is her fourth album, released late last year, and is available for downloading at www.facebook.com/sailer33?sk=app_4470868196288052&app_ data.

COFFIN MAKER James Wolfglen indie Whoa. I got this cd and it was busted and so I emailed the dude and he told me where to go (lol) and I just went there and listened to one song off this album, one song, and I was sheddin’ tears, man, this dude know how to evoke a feeling.

The song is called “Vermeer Painting” and it’s about, well, a lot of things, life itself, but mainly a girl spotted in the window of a bus looking like Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring. His voice is somewhere between traditional country baritone and the umorthodox folky such as Leonard Cohen (why does his name keep cropping up lately?). Whatever, check out jameswolfglen. bandcamp.com. I bet you’ll like what you hear. Or email him at coffinmaker777@yahoo.com.

DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR Airtight Experiment Luxuryville These guys are a real trip and their music is definitely worth listening to. It’s not exactly mainstream pop / rock or alt rock or whatever; it’s just good music with jaunty melodies and clever lyrics and it’s fun to listen to. They even got Hank the Snake in to do the vocal on one track. “They” are Devon Kurzweil and Dan Levin, two truly strange dudes (coming from me that’s a compliment) and let me not forget to mention Roxy Cox, who sits in for one vocal and “the fabulous Jon Hegel” on saxophone. I do not detect any contact info.

[UNTITLED] Josh Garrels and Josh White Street Level Pretty good. I listened to this in the truck and it worked really well as driving-in-traffic music, keeping me alert and yet relaxed enough to dismiss the idiocy going on around me.

Eighteen songs on the disc and all written by Josh, except for the few writ by Josh. Oh, and the Followers. Look into joshgarrels.com, doorofhope.org or streetlevel.org for more info.

SOUTHERN HOTEL James Ethan Clark Fallen Tree Oh man, this is some good music and old dude wrote nine of the ten songs.

HARVEST Various Artists Street Level This is an unusual combination of pop, gospel, folk, puredee country, and well, just human music. It is most enjoyable: very well played and sung, melodic, rhythmic, all the things I like and best of all, not repetitious. Oh yeah, there’s also a personal confession and a big plug for Jesus. Amen.

RUDIMENTS Marco Santiago indie Marco Santiago writes, sings, and plays all the instruments on all the songs, interspersing instrumentals with vocals, all in a mellow tone, as one would want in an album to put on while having a glass of wine with a lovely companion. das netischferswagenz:

STOP THE TIDE Laura Sailer indie Laura makes Joni Mitchel sound like an alto. Wait, second track she dials it back, but that first one, man, dogs down the street were howling she got so high pitched. This is a very uneven piece of work, from sophomoric to sophisticated, but then I’ve been called on that same issue. When she’s on, man, she is on, but she tries sometimes to do too much, to go beyond her own talent and capacities. She also teaches piano and guitar, so bet she encourages her students to push the envelope too.

Cool. But there is also the admonition to stay within yourself, don’t try to do more than you can, at least don’t record it for the general public (nothing wrong with going for the gold in a live performance since the crowd can urge you along and lift you up and help achieve that brilliant note you’re not likely to reach in a studio setting). These songs are all originals and most are

LIFE, WATER, LIVING Qui Cobraside Wow! I just saw their vid of “Mucho Sex in America” (at least I think that’s the title). It’s an incredible video, lots to watch, lots going on and multi meanings and some crazyass music, y’know? I highly recommend it.

I think you can download their whole album here too: dave@usthemgroup.com ... no, wait, that’s the email for management … uh, just let me check here … just a minute … www.facebook.com/quiband ... no, well, maybe … I don’t know … look ‘em up....

I am reminded regularly that I am incompetent so it came as no surprise that I couldn’t get most of the music sent me over the ‘net to play and my @#$%^&*! computer - keeps trying to spell my words for me and this whole plane of existence is starting to get on my nerves, what’s left of ‘em...

Todd Mills - Back To Good

John Hardeman, John McCloud, Jimmy Looney, Todd Mills, Brian Houchin ---Jimmy Looney That’s what Todd Mills would tell friends and family to comfort them when he was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in his brain and lungs this past summer.

“I’ll be back to good in no time”, he’d say. Soon thereafter, Todd underwent two brain surgeries and another surgery to remove half of his right lung.

He remained upbeat and hopeful through it all, even managing some gallows humor about how cool the scars on his head were going to look. That was Todd…always putting others’ concerns before his own…always with a laugh.

Sadly, Todd lost his battle with cancer and left us on Thanksgiving day.

I had the life-changing fortune of meeting Todd 20 years ago, while we were both serving in the military as members of the Air Force Security Forces. Todd was also a K-9 handler, which gave him the rare opportunity to provide security at the ’96 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, as well as providing security escort duties for President Clinton during his return visits to the Natural State.

Not bad for a country boy from Harrisburg, Arkansas.

It was during that time Todd and I found ourselves without girlfriends, and decided to what single guys dream of doing to attract the fairer sex…start a rock n’ roll band.

And thus, our band, Daisy Chain, was born. Early on, our band was an anomaly, as far as appearances go.

While most local bands looked like they could be on the pages of Metal Sludge magazine, we looked like the buzz-cut recruits from “Full Metal Jacket”. But,

given the chance to be heard, we were quickly welcomed into the local music scene, sharing stages with, and supporting our favorite bands, like Third Degree, Mr. Happy and many others. We had the chance to play nearly every venue in town, many of which have changed names, if they are even there at all.

Todd remained the heart and soul of Daisy Chain, with an unmatched enthusiasm for playing music. His energy level and joy for the opportunity to be playing live music would have been the same for a gig at a local VFW as it would have been if we were playing Madison Square Garden.

As life happens, a few of us got 9to-5 jobs that took us out of state, putting a temporary end to Daisy Chain in 2002. Todd quickly regrouped with the remaining members of Daisy Chain, and added vocalist, Matt Joyce, and guitarist, Brian Houchin, to form the Getty’s. The Getty’s quickly took off and, before long, were one of the most popular bands in Arkansas.

After years of playing the local music scene, Todd decided to settle down, start a family, and soon became VP of Communications and Marketing for the Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce. While not actively playing in the Little Rock music scene, Todd continued to put his creativity to use in his work for the Chamber, as well as starting a food blog for local restaurants. But, in 2009, Todd had his “eureka” moment, which would eventually gain him national notoriety. While watching a Taco Bell commercial, Todd wondered aloud to his wife, Ginger, about how cool it would be

if there were taco shells from Doritos!

He whipped up a letter to Frito Lay to suggest the idea. He soon got a reply from Frito Lay…”no thanks”.

Undeterred by their rejection, Todd started the Tacos Shells Made From Doritos Movement page on Facebook, which was filled with Todd’s Photoshop creations of orange taco shells being interjected into various pop culture photos.

Before long, Todd’s page had thousands of followers and soon got the attention of mainstream media. In 2012, in a “you can’t make this stuff up” turn of events, Todd received a phone call from Taco Bell. They were invited Todd out for a tour of their headquarters in Irvine, California, where he met Taco Bell CEO, Chris Creed, and was one of the first to try the prototype of his own creation, the Doritos Locos Taco! The culmination of Todd’s idea resulted in over 600 million tacos sold, over a billion dollars in profits, and the creation of 15,000 jobs.

Not bad for a guy eating chips on his couch.

When Todd was diagnosed with cancer last summer, a donation page was created to raise money for his incoming medical expenses: www.youcaring. com/TeamTodd. The outpouring of support and donations from friends, family, fellow veterans, local musicians and complete strangers, only familiar with Todd as “that taco guy”, has been tremendous.

However, as anyone with the misfortune of knowing how expensive medical costs can be, we have only scratched the

surface on easing the financial burden on Todd’s family.

And that is where friends come in; friends that started as five guys with buzz-cuts and guitars, and grew exponentially as we made friends with the folks in Little Rock’s amazing music community; friendships that have endured for nearly 20 years. It’s no surprise that when the idea came up to have a benefit show for Todd’s family, all it took was a few calls and a few e-mails. Those calls were met with a resounding number of responses, like “What can I do?” and, “Where do you need me to be?” That says volumes about these long-standing friendships, these bands in the local music scene that could be out playing for big bucks, but decided to volunteer their time for a good cause, instead. Bands like Third Degree, Mr. Happy, Tragikly White, The Revolutioners, Mayday By Midnight, The Getty’s, Reverend Appleby, a re-united Daisy Chain, and many more. Mostly, it speaks volumes about Todd, as shown by the outpouring of support for his family.

We invite you to come out and join us for “Monsters of Todd: A Tribute to Todd Mills”, Saturday, March 1st, 2014, at the Rev Room, for a celebration of his life. Many people are still grieving the loss of Todd Mills. It’s going to be a long time before any of us are, “back to good”. But, March 1st is going to be a good place to start.

Mardi Gras in Fayetteville A Short History

Over a decade ago, in 1992, a small group of friends, feeling themselves stranded here in Fayetteville, far from the comforts of the nearest Mardi Gras , tossed caution to the winds and set about planning a small celebration to be held locally. Frank Sharp volunteered his services and the facilities of the Ozark Mountain Smokehouse. Jean Button brought along her Baton Rouge family recipes, cooking skills and ex-patriot cajun mailing list. Last but certainly not least, Dan Kerlin volunteered his band, Billy Zydeco and the use of the 36 Club for the post second line party. Dr. and Mrs., Bill and Betty Harrison were coerced to serve as the first King and Queen of the newly conceived Demented Krewe of Dickson Street. On the evening of Fat Tuesday, Evan Howell, in the role of jester, presented the royalty, a fabulous Cajun dinner was served and Billy Zydeco and 40 or so revelers set off on the long strange road that has become Mardi Gras in Fayetteville. That year, King Bill the First used his scepter and new royal powers to bless the ATM at the train depot, and the Krewe paused along the way to toast each business by waving burned bread in the air. It was a cold and lonely Tuesday night, made somewhat brighter by the passing of the colorfully clad Demented Krewe.

In the early years the event was financed out of pocket, and for each of the first four years, someone in the Krewe took about a $100.00 loss. In 1997, the original instigators all had a tough year and Dixie Rhyne (having become active after her queenship in 1993) stepped in

20

with 3 weeks to go to push it through. In 1998, Jose’s and Chester’s Place, realizing the potential of the event, volunteered significant donations. In 1999 the Bank of Fayetteville, McBride Distributing and many smaller contributors came on board. The Krewe members still have no commercial interest. All funds are raised by donations and sponsorships from parties interested in seeing the tradition continue. None of the organizational staff receive compensation for their time, and all money raised goes toward the expenses incurred in putting on the Krewe’s events.

We had always dreamed of a float parade and additional krewes and didn’t know whether Northwest Arkansas would step forward. All of this has come to pass. In 1999 we worked with A. J & Penny Bellard to begin a parade on the Saturday preceding Mardi Gras. This came to fruition in 2000 with the formation of the Mardi Gras of the Ozarks Parade. It rolled for three years under the guidance of Bellard’s Event Management in con junction with the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce. In 2003 the sponsors let it go. Rather than see the tradition fail, the Demented Krewe chose to incorporate under the name Committeee for Mardi Gras, Inc. & resurrected the event under the new name “The Fat Saturday Parade of Fools”. The Krewe has handled the parade ever since, watching it become a major and very popular Fayetteville tradition.

In 2005 the Krewe decided to add a small parade at City Hospital for the benefit of the residents, to be held annually on the Friday before Mardi Gras. Now called the Parade of the Pearls, in honor of Suzanne Ray, Duchess of Pearls, who

NIGHTFLYING.COM • WINTER DAZE • 2014

instigated the event, the parade happens every year with the help of the Billy Zydeco Band.

Through all the many years that have followed that first tiny celebration, the event has grown out of all proportion to expectations. By of 2005, spectatorship had grown to an estimated 8,000 with perhaps 150 in the second line. The Fat Saturday Parade continues to roll with floats and other entries from several self supporting Krewes. Spectatorship is regularly estimated at 10,000+. We Demented ones are tickled. It is our view that Mardi Gras, to remain vital, needs to be many faceted, brought forward through the efforts of many different groups with different visions. Of course, a sense of fun is always important.

It’s our 18th year. We have seen the spontaneous appearance of independent vendors, small, street corner musical groups, and on one occasion a fire eating man. We’ve had “the World’s Largest King Cake” Billy Zydeco has been joined on one occasion by Big Smith and on another by a pair of unknown but talented gentlemen playing sax and trumpet. In 1995 we had Queen Colleen direct from New Orleans, complete with her family drum corp. We have enjoyed the juggling talents of Don Greenaway as jester, and the good will and generosity of those, too many to list. Beginning in 2001with the crowd estimated at 5000, the street had to be closed and is now annually blocked to traffic. That tiny parade of 40 has become a many-channeled stream winding it’s way through a bead-devoted crowd. We of the Demented Krewe can’t wait to see what the next years will bring.

Art Guitars

---Story and photos by Steve Evans All of these guitars were made in the USA with the exception of the German-made Fasan brand guitar, which features a fascinating “Waterskiing Scene.”

Most were produced in the 1930’s and 1940’s and all came from the manufacturer painted with attractive artwork. The art was applied either by stencil-painting or silk-screening. The Harmony Guitar Company preferred “stencil-painted” scenes, and their models typically have a slight over-spray. Kay and Regal used the “silk-screen” method, which gave more detail and sharper edges to the art.

The “Amateur Hour” and the “Big Band” scene guitars both have pick-shaped decals near the artwork. This gives a hint of the original owner’s name because these decals show the initials of the owner, an option available when ordering a guitar from the Montgomery Ward or Spiegel catalogs (circa 1934 through 1942). If the original owner was a teenager when receiving the guitar, that person is now 90 - 95 years old.

In the 30’s and 40’s these guitars were referred to as “standard size,” but today are considered more of a 3/4 size when compared to the modern big dreadnought guitars.

To see a short video featuring these guitars, go to YouTube.com and use search words: Nightflying Art Guitars. To view these guitars in person, just drop by the Jacksonville Guitar Museum, 1105 Burman Drive in Jacksonville.

Sorry, these guitars are not for sale.

#1 artguitar.jpg 1935 “Hawaiian Scene” guitar. Many different versions of Hawaiian scenes were produced, but this one is particularly fanciful with a girl in bell bottoms watching sailboats come and go. Note that the guitar’s painted rosette is a ship’s steering wheel.

#2 artguitar.jpg 1932 “Black Knight” has a scene showing a group of minstrels serenading before a castle of olden days. This guitar was made by Harmony and sold through Sears under the Supertone brand name.

#3 artguitar.jpg 1945 Harmony “Patriotic Scene” guitar painted in red, white and blue. This guitar has a WWII era “wooden” tailpiece because of restrictions on using metal for luxury items.

#4 artguitar.jpg 1936 “Polo Scene” guitar as sold by Spiegel. Polo players in serious action with mallets swinging and horses galloping. Art guitars usually have a round sound hole, but this model came with Dobro style “f” holes.

#5 artguitar.jpg 1934 “Hawaiian Scene” guitar shows a hula girl playing a ukulele. Details include tropical plants and a starfish washed up on the beach. When this guitar was purchased new, it came with an extension nut and steel slide bar for playing Hawaiian style music.

#7 artguitar.jpg 1936 “Amateur Hour” sold by Spiegel. This scene depicts the radio broadcast of a talent show in progress with electronic signals beaming across the world. Note the original owner’s initials “R. B.”

#8 artguitar.jpg 1949 “Cabin in the Woods Scene” made by Harmony in Chicago. Stencil-painted scene in orange and forest green shows a boy playing his guitar and girl nearby (probably singing) with cabin and mountains in background.

#9 artguitar.jpg 1939 “Spirit of Rhythm” guitar made by Kay and sold through Spiegel. The art was painted in gold on a “plumwood finish” guitar and shows a big city skyline with continuous music and dancing throughout the night.

#10 artguitar.jpg Circa 1940’s “Two Indians Scene” stencil guitar, made by Harmony and distributed by Bugeleisen & Jacobson of New York. Art Deco scene shows two Indians with headdresses and bows.

#11 artguitar.jpg 1950’s “Waterskiing Scene” shows a girl in bikini being pulled by ski boat. Stencil-painted art in white on a brown shaded birch guitar. Label inside sound hole reads, “FASAN, Josef B. Sholz, Wuppertal.”

#13 artguitar.jpg Late 1930’s “Hawaiian Scene” guitar with cream colored art silk-screened onto a chocolate brown guitar. Romantic moonlit scene shows a couple sitting on the beach.

#12 artguitar.jpg Circa 1940 “Big Band Scene” guitar made by Kay Musical Instrument Company in Chicago. Wonderful scene of a girl in red dress gracefully dancing to the music of a band resembling the Artie Shaw Orchestra.

#14 artguitar.jpg Late 1930’s “Western Scene” shows a cowboy showing-off to a cowgirl. The silk-screened art includes plenty of detail with the cowboy wearing chaps, vest and neckerchief, and the girl with laceup boots, lasso of her own, and holstered pistol.

#6 artguitar.jpg 1935 “Hillbilly Band Scene” guitar sold by Montgomery Ward. Scene painted in black and white shows five musicians playing their instruments: harmonica, fiddle, clarinet, guitar and accordion.

We had the craziest time ever at the Nightflying 33-year anniversary bash. Of course, we do this party at The Big Chill every year because it’s such a cool nightclub. And it’s the home away from home for most of the musicians that usually grace us with their music, too, which never hurts.

All in all, this is one of the happeningest clubs in The Altered State…not just Hot Springs.

The Ohio Club on Bath House Row is a great venue that has something pretty special every day.

Seriously. (They continued to operate right through Prohibition)…

And there’s never a cover charge here, so make a point to tip the bands and workers.

Add to this, the club has recently gone smoke-free and has a much nicer atmosphere than before.

I saw a small item in the local newspaper the other day. It was a memorial for a guy named Paul Chunn, a musician who was from the area. He had died eleven years back on November 22. I don’t recall what it was that took him. What I do recall was one of the first evenings I spent in Hot Springs listening to music. I hadn’t lived here long and had not had much opportunity to go out.

We had gone to a Mexican restaurant that was featuring a trio called Three Wheel Drive, consisting of Chunn on drums and vocals, Bobby Rogers on guitar and Jim Ferguson on bass and vocals. They were a pretty good little band.

The thing that struck me about these guys was not the music they were making. It was what they did when they weren’t making music. The crowd that evening was sparse, typical for a mid-winter gig in a tourist town that relies on horses and heat for its income. Chunn was the first to come over to our table and say hello. Apparently, we were bobbing our heads and singing along and he took notice of it from behind the drums. He asked where we were from and when we told him Hot Springs he began to ask what brought us here and to tell us about some of the music in town. Paul Chunn made us feel welcome, at home. It would be less than two years later that Chunn would pass on.

I would come to know Rogers a little more over the next few years. He ended up giving guitar lessons to my youngest daughter one summer. Ferguson was the same way. I stumbled into a few clubs where Ferguson was playing over the years. He always made sure to say hello and ask how we were doing.

My amazingly tolerant and blindly loving wife, Sherree, saw an ad in the paper for a blues jam being held on Wednesday nights at Schapiro’s, now the Gangster Museum, here in Hot Springs. The first chance we had, we went down. We met some Spa City Blues Society folks at the door and paid our $2 cover to come in for the evening.

We were treated to a great night of blues and classic rock by the house band and some excellent jammers. We met Larry Womack, Steve Danger and Tony Nardi that night.

They were the core of the house band. Over the next few weeks we would continue to show up on Wednesdays, eventually joining the Spa City Blues Society.

It was one of those Wednesday evenings that Larry Womack, the lead guitar player and main vocalist for the Hump Night Blues Band, came over to our table and struck up a conversation. He had noticed us being there and staying to the bitter end most nights. That conversation led to a long standing friendship that continues today.

So...what does all this mean? Why am I waxing reminiscent about my initial days in the Spa City? Bear with me for a few more lines and I’ll try to tie it all together for you. Lately, I’ve been reading articles about the “local music scene”. Now, local is relative to wherever you happen to be the local. Be it Hot Springs, Arkansas, or Seattle, Washington, or Key West, Florida. I read the grumblings from the musicians who are upset with the small crowds, lack of respect, low pay and any number of other things that are “holding them back” from success. I follow what the venues and talent buyers are saying about the poor draw a band has, the lack of revenue a band brings in and on and on. Why aren’t the bands drawing crowds? Why aren’t the clubs filling up for live music? Why is the “local music scene” floundering?

My answer to this is simple on the surface. The thing that pulled me into the local music scene in Hot Springs was the friendliness of the musicians. It was the guys who took the time to come say hello when they went on break.

The ones who remembered seeing me at the last gig and said thanks for coming out. And they didn’t do it with me alone. They worked the crowd, taking time to shake a hand or sit at a table for a moment to visit.

When I travel I look for the places where the locals go for their helping of music. Where are the weekly jam sessions? The mid-week offerings that are sure to have

some of the best local talent playing? What I find are a lot of great people playing music, listening to music, promoting music. These are the places where the players watch the crowd as much as they are being watched.

Places where the locals will say hello and ask where you are from. Places where the owners are involved with the music and the crowd. When the owner of a venue notices new faces in the crowd and takes the time to stop by and say hello or ask if people are having a good time, that means something. It lets me know they are plugged into the pulse of their business.

The local music scene is a simple, symbiotic relationship, and at the same time a complex monster that has to be fed and nurtured. The relationship between the musician, the owner and the customer all have to come together to make a local music scene vibrant. The owners have to respect the musicians. They have to take the time to realize what the musician is putting into to his or her work just to be able to perform that two hour set on a Tuesday night. It is the local music that helps keep things afloat. Owners are lacking in good sense if they do not promote what goes on in their venue, whether it’s a new band, drink specials or a great menu item. Promoting the venue and what goes on there is the responsibility of the owner. Tell the musicians what you do to promote your shows. If they are savvy, they will ask you anyway.

Owners should have a standard plan of promotions. And expectations. When it all happens the crowd comes, the music is played but there is a different vibe in the place.

The musician feels the respect from the venue.

Musicians are not immune from the responsibilities of the local scene. In addition to the practice, the gear and the travel, it’s on the musicians to promote their shows as much as it is the venue’s responsibility. If the musicians are not blowing their own horn, who is going to do it? With the internet and all its resources today there is no reason for any serious musician to not promote themselves. Many times bands will get a gig and sit back and wait for the masses to appear. Sorry folks. It just doesn’t work that way. For the musicians who promote their shows vigorously, using multiple forms of media, you have just earned the respect of the venue owner. And you should be ready to provide a laundry list of what you do to promote yourself and your gigs. It’s a bit like providing references for a job, if you will. Same thing for

your music. Learn a few new songs from time to time. Try something different so you are staying fresh. I promise you musicians, it does not go unnoticed.

The music fan is the final piece to make all this come together. A patron to a venue should be made to feel welcome whether they are a local or a tourist. Everyone should remember that it’s the locals who keep things moving through the “slow seasons”. I’m not saying to kiss anyone’s ass. Heaven knows if you know me you know that’s not what I’m saying at all. Just be friendly.

If you are an owner take a moment to say hello or shake a hand. If you are a musician, pay attention to who’s watching you and make it a point to say thanks. And for you, the listener, be you local or visitor, don’t be an ass.

You came out for a drink, maybe some food and certainly some music. Take the time to LISTEN to the music, pay attention for a minute and become a part of the picture you are seeing before you. Enjoy it! If you are one of the locals it is your responsibility to tell people you know where to find the cool venues and the tasty tunes. When it’s over, tip the band and tell them you liked what they did. Tell the owner you had a good time. If you don’t like the place, well, nobody forced you to come in. Politely make your exit without showing your ass.

What it boils down to is mutual respect for the musician, the venue and the listener. It takes all three to make the local music scene go. It’s not about money or making it big. If it were most of the folks complaining about it would already be doing it. Take away one of these three, sprinkle a little bad attitude on it and watch the local scene go to Hell.

A local music scene is just that...local. It’s here and it’s now. Regardless of the geography. Music is art. Appreciate it in whatever form it presents itself. Appreciate the ones who make it, showcase it and enjoy it. And always remember...it’s the locals who make the local music scenes, good or bad. How we interact with one another, the time we take to make a connection, speaks volumes to the vibrancy of the local scene. Make me feel like I’m a part of what you are doing and you will have me hooked.

2014 is here.

Whatever we did yesterday is gone. I hope you take some time to reflect on your triumphs and your imperfections as you roll into the coming year. Resolve to check out your local music scene. See a show. Go to a jam. Volunteer at a fundraiser. Have dinner at the local pub. You will never know what the local vibe is all about unless you become a local.

Here’s to a prosperous and happy 2014.

May all your dreams come true.

Keep it real and keep it live.

I’ll see ya backstage.

During erotic sex you use a feather, during kinky sex you use the whole chicken…

A: They like the part where the prostitute gives the money back…

Q: What are three words you dread the most while making love?

A: “Honey, I’m home…”

Q: Why does it take 100 million sperm to fertilize an egg?

A: Because not one will stop and ask for directions…

Q: How can you tell if your husband is dead?

A: The sex is the same but you get to use the remote...

A dad tell his son “Stop masturbating! if you do it too long you will go blind.” The son replied “Dad, I’m over here…”

A while later, she comes running back with a smile on her face.

She drops her pants and says, “My mommy says that with one of these, I can have as many of those as I want!”

The elderly Italian man went to his parish priest and asked if the priest would hear his confession. “Of course, my son,” said the priest.

in my attic, and they never found her.”

“That’s a wonderful thing, my son, and nothing that you need to confess,” said the priest.

“It’s worse, Father; I was weak, and told her that she had to pay for rent of the attic with her sexual favors,” continued the old man.

“Well, it was a very difficult time, and you took a large risk - you would have suffered terribly at their hands if the Germans had found you hiding her; I know that God, in his wisdom and mercy, will balance the good and the evil, and judge you kindly,” said the priest.

“Thanks, Father,” said the old man.

“That’s a load off of my mind. Can I ask another question?”

“Of course, my son,” said the priest.

The old man asked, “Do I need to tell her that the war is over?”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is a terrific month for shopping, but don’t bother bargain hunting. Buy anything your little heart desires. Credit cards are for today, not tomorrow. Write checks, borrow money, pay your American Express bill with your Discover Card...in short, take full advantage of those last few days between conviction and sentencing...

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) An ocean cruise is in the offing this month and spirits are high. That trip to Bermuda that you’ve always dreamed of could become a reality. Swallow that fear of the Bermuda Triangle and enjoy yourself. Forget all that creepy stuff you’ve read about unexplained disappearances in that one little area...go...have fun...enjoy yourself... bon voyage...see you later...maybe...

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) What can be said about these, the most marvelous of people? Good fortune, good looks, good times, good friends...Good Lord...I’d rather be a Gemini than Dolly Parton’s bra...

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You lose your #1 spot as the most obnoxious sign to the lowly Aries, but retain the bottom position awarded to that group whose sign is the overall most loathsome...Cancers...yuck...

LEO (July 23-August 22) If the Leo has one redeeming quality, it is the fact that the word Leo contains only three letters.

This allows those born under this sign to spell their sign of the Zodiac correctly...at least half the time, anyway...

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) The Virgo is average...average looking, of average intelligence, holding an average job that pays an average wage. They are average lovemakers and average athletes. Virgos bore everyone except Leos, who regard them as narcissistic, stuck-up eggheads with too much money who spend entirely too much time on sex and sports...

LIBRA (September 23-October 22) Even the name evokes mental pictures of a sea of wimps...simpering, whimpering, useless, helpless, hopeless masses of pathetic little faces.

The Libra is absolutely oblivious to this fact because the Libra is too wimpy to ask anyone what a wimp is. As a result they spend their spare time murmuring to themselves, “...at least I’m not a Scorpio...”

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) Lower on the evolutionary scale than those born under any other sign, the Scorpio compensates by radiating a childlike innocence which bathes all those with whom they come into contact in a warm and comforting glow. Recent scientific studies on those living in close proximity to large concentrations of Scorpios reveal hair and tooth loss, shortness of breath and fatigue.

Avoid prolonged contact and do not stare directly at a Scorpio...

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21) Avoid large crowds and public places. Eat as little meat, fruits and vegetables as possible. Cut fluid intake by 85% and, whenever possible, sleep white lying in a fetal position near any public trash dumpster clothed only in a large 3-ply garbage bag that is tied tightly. If you are still in the same place tomorrow, re-tie the bag more tightly, cut out all food and fluids, then tighten your fetal

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19) Try as you may, success generally eludes you in all endeavors. Call this luck or being in the right place at the right time, but you pass the random urine screen at work. Following an afterwork celebration at a local watering hole, however, you are stopped for speeding and the breath test indicates ‘tighter than Dick’s hatband’. Pass: 1. Fail: 1. Score: Capricorn: 0...

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) Disguise yourself as a goatherd and wander alone through the barren wastelands of Kenya for at least a decade. At that time you will be free to return to your homeland and continue your miserable life as a grocery carry-out boy in the tiny, failing discount store on the outskirts of Nowheresville, USA...

PISCES (February 19-March 20) Go gargle a rock, fish-face. You have an inborn lack of taste that would gag a grass carp.

Sometimes in a dim light people with impaired vision mistake you for merely ugly instead of hideous. Go your way in dark places and shun all companions other than the slimy things abiding beneath rocks and slurry composed of the refuse of unspeakable things unnamed...
