Hairy Larry and George
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a song I sang at my Senior Composition Recital.
I was taking Music History when I learned the music terminology art song and I thought, that’s what I’m writing for my recital, art songs.
One of those songs I called “Twin Stars”, a love song based on my life with Vivian.
It is performed by Hairy Larry and George with a guest, Pershauna Johnson, playing alto flute. Alto flute has a beautiful sound, breathy like a flute but with a lower pitch. Pershauna did a great job on this song. She was a graduate student at ASU at the time.
Also playing was George Hinds on bass, my partner in crime and a lifetime resident of Northeast Arkansas. George was from a musical family and he played with everyone, Billy Lee Riley, Larry Donn, Dennis Mathes, and myself. We played for years as a duo and also in The Swing Band Project. We recorded two albums, “Hip Sexagenarians” and “Aggie Road” and now that they changed the copyright law about streaming music we have one in the can, “Hairy Larry Does Dylan”, soon to be released.
So now, recorded live in the Fine Arts Recital Hall on November 8, 2013, here’s Hairy Larry and George with Pershauna Johnson playing my song, “Twin Stars”.
