Page Four Ferraro & friends featured finesse Last Wednesday's _coffeehouse featured Erie solo guitarist, Dan Ferraro, who specializes in soft folk rock. The value of his per formance was found in his en thusiasm and intense involvement (an understatement) in 'music. This is not to say that he's a terrific performer. Hardly. Vocals were weak, average at best, though guitar work was flowing, and interesting. He had with him 3 separate , guitars and switched for nearly each selec tion. Yet what impressed me the most was how emotionally in volved he became in the music. Characterized by a friendly, somewhat nervous stage manner, he announced that he usually prepares a list of the songs he'll be performing, but over come with the mood of the crowd, rarely adheres to it. It was evident through the many selections he performed that he idolizes Joni Mitchell, though he did remark that because of gender differences (much of her material deals strictly with feminine issues) the total impact of the music would not be realized. Highlights of the evening in cluded Neil Young's The Needle and the Damage Done, Simon and Garfunkle's America, James Bridge battles waged Another successful meeting of the bridge club took place on Tuesday evening with 4 1 / 2 tables in play: We are grateful to Frank Flynn and Jack Thompson, two of Erie's finest bridge players, who braved the filthy weather to come and give us the benefit of their experience and bridge lore. The learning • process is greatly assisted by the active par ticipation of several experts. Our absolute beginners are now getting to appreciate some of the finer points of the game...

Mike Maletto and Ben Scott; 2-3 (tie) Gene Hamilton and- Danny Dickson, Evelyn Balmer and Jack Thompson. There is room for hundreds more—remember instruction is free. The ability to play bridge is a passport to open clubs all over the world—as well as being a social asset. Inquiries call ex tension 255. Anyone interested in the position of Editor-in-Chief stop by our office for Taylor's Blossom, and version of Oh Sussanah, his style becoming nearly identical to that of Taylor, and Dear Abby, an amusing John Prine tune, which should, ac cording to Ferraro, "be per formed only when one is terribly intoxicated." After 2 sets, he announced he'd be joined by 4 of his "colleagues", 2 of whom are members of the band Phillip. Using keyboards, bass and electric guitar, flute and drums, along with Ferrares acoustic guitar, they performed together 4 songs: Cat Stevens' Sad Lisa and 3 selections from the David Crosby, Graham Nash LP, Wind on the Water (it seems as though everyone is doing this material - see last week's Cof feehouse review). Ferraro's vocals-were slightly overpowered by the instrumental portion - which, on the whole was good - blending smoothly, with in teresting use of keyboards; an unusual style. Mr. Ferraro must have a loyal group of followers, being that over half the audience was non- Behrend. He's played guitar for 6 years and does it skillfully, though vocally does not achieve the same level. If there were ever a more intense performer, though, I've yet to see them. Diary of Simon Peter I noticed several days ago that Jesus is encountering growing opposition from the Pharisees. Rumor has it that the Pharisees have plotted against His life. This was after He healed a man with a withered hand in the synagogue on the Sabbath. Luke told me that the Phaiisees immediately began to speak with the followers of Herod, plotting against His life. This beginning to look like serious business now. We went up on the moun tain yesterday, and He asked us to make a commitment to Him as the Son of God, that He might send us out to preach. Now I have never been very good with words, and keeping my family in mind, I was going to decline and return home. I spoke about this briefly with Andrew and he said that he was going to continue on _with Jesus. I consented then, too, and stepped forward. I think that I truly believe that He is the Son of God whom we have waited for in our tribulation. He said He Beer blast held again A popular college pastime will be carried out this Weekind and all of Behrend is invited.

He also gave me the surname of Peter. So as of yesterday, I committed my life to Jesus—Son of God. I remember standing there trying to make that decision with Andrew already stepping for ward, but once it was made I felt very much at peace. Yes—He is the Son of God. I feel as though my whole road in life is plotted out for me—God has a plan for my life. This is going to be a tough road I am traveling down and I know that our families are going to worry and think us foolish, but with God's son, I can't go wrong.

LEGEND Millcreek Mall (814) 868-0346 By Ron Wayne Entertainment Editor Fonda, John Phillip Laiv and David Hemmings, it is the film version of the one-time European comic-strip which combined science fiction with sex. Critics had mixed feelings about the film when it was released in 1968. Andrew Sarris commented that "the motion picture is not nearly the disaster it had every intention of being. Somehow its. comic-strip conceits and Playboy-Bunny-in- Disneyland decor 'manage to sustain themselves for 100 . minutes without getting too heavy or silly!' Pauline Kael remarked about 'Jane Fonda Bar barella, she is supposed to be "a kind of sexual Alice in Won derland of the future," but she's more like a saucy Dorothy in an Oz gone bad."
