Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear a livestream version of one of my most popular songs.

During the pandemic I would livestream on Twitch. I called my channel, Hairy Larry Practicing Piano and that’s exactly what I did. I practiced my repertoire of original songs using iRealPro backing tracks as my metronome.

I licensed all of these audio and video recordings Creative Commons Attribution. What exactly does that mean?

It means that if you want to use one of these songs in your project whether it’s a movie, a game, multimedia, or whatever you have permission to do that as long as the song is attributed correctly with the magic words, Freddy’s Blues by Larry Heyl or Freddy’s Blues by Hairy Larry.

There are many Creative Commons licenses including CC0 which dedicates your work to the public domain allowing anyone to use it without any restrictions.

I prefer CC BY or Creative Commons Attribution because it preserves the chain of attribution making it easy to find the musician who made the music so if you like it you can go find more.

And if you want to find out more about Creative Commons licenses I’m going to include a link to their website at sbblues.com.

Now, about the song “Freddy’s Blues”.

I wrote the song in 2013. It’s a blues with funny lyrics so it had everything going for it. NJHB played it at my Senior Recital with Suzanne Michell singing. It’s included on my album “Bop Soup”.

It’s also included on the most recent Bebop Beatniks album, “Live At Blues Fest” recorded in 2023 and featuring the incomparable Tyler Remagen on tenor sax.

But there’s something unique about the version of “Freddy’s Blues” on my “Livestreams” album. We were on lockdown so it’s just me, my piano, and iRealPro. No horns! The song is about a young girl in love with a horn player in a jazz band so it just didn’t work to have only piano solos. I had to sing the horn parts. First Freddy and then the trombone.

After I played it on the livestream one of my friends in chat said “Better get an audition for that trombonist.”

So here I am now singing “Freddy’s Blues” from my “Livestreams” album.
