DJ Hairy Larry Presents Suzanne Michelle Singing St. James Infirmary Blues
From The Archives Of Something Blue – January 11, 2026
Suzanne Michell
Thanks Marty, on Something Blue this week I’m playing jazz songs new to the public domain in 2026, so today I’m playing a public domain song recorded at the Craighead Forest Bandshell.
On May 11, 2008, we closed the show with my favorite type of music. Campfire music.
“Hairy Larry Jams played two sets at our opening concert for 2008. An electric set kicked off the show. Then we closed true acoustic around a campfire. No mics, no amps, no nothing.”
The true acoustic set featured
Hairy Larry, guitar and harmonica
Fred Wilson, guitar and harmonica
Suzanne Michell, guitar
Chris “Stinger” Stevens, guitar
Megan Heyl, handclaps
Everybody sang.
Chris Stevens is from Illinois. The rest of us are Arkansawyers.
And Suzanne sang “St. James Infirmary Blues” a public domain song of mixed parentage that Louis Armstrong recorded in the roaring twenties.
So now here’s Suzanne Michell singing “St. James Infirmary Blues”.
