up for the Magic of Broadway
The Magic of Broadway is a
musical revue of Broadway songs
and scenes culled from the vintage
years of 1927 to 1957. An enter
taining and enlightening narrative
winds through the musical selec
tions which combine vocal solos
and duets by Nancy Fox-Hoover
and Douglas Murdock. John Han
dy, with his orchestral-like grand
piano accompaniment, also brings
his own solo arrangements of
award-winning Broadway
melodies. The three performers are
all impeccably trained musicians
with active careers in many dif
ferent styles of music.
Miss Fox-Hoover who sings all
the soprano roles in the show was
graduated from the University of
Michigan and the Mozarteum
Academy of Music in Saltzburg,
Austria. She has appeared as
oratorio and' concert soloist with
prestigious orchestras and festivals
across the country. - Last season,
Music Review
"Love & Hope &
by The BoDeans
by Paul Miniger
Collegian Staff Writer
Don't be frightened. The Bo-
Deans is not a collection of Jed
Clampett's favorite hillbilly
jangles. Instead, it is the name of a
Minnesota based rock band that
moves to California in order to
make it big - hence the name
BoDeans.
Even if you haven't heard of
them, you may have heard
Fadeaway, the only single from the
album to hold a spot on the college
album chart. The music is along the
lines of Rubber Rodeo, Dwight
Yoakam, and other neo-country
rock groups. Fadeaway has alo
received frequent airplay' from
local top 40 radio stations.
Rock purists may cringe at first
sound of Sammy Lanas' voice. It
has a fairly whiny but strong sound
to it. This, coupled with Kurt
Newman and T-Bone Burnette's
crisp acoustic and electric guitar
lines, joins to make the album real
ly work. The song Misery is a
perfect example of this. The typical
sad cowpoke song is combined with
familiar bass lines and raspy guitar

she was soprano soloist in Salt
Lake City with the Utah Symphony
and Oratorio Choir in
Mendelssohn's "Elijah". She has a
long list of starring roles in musical
comedies, opera and opertta to her
credit. Miss Fox-Hoover is a native
of Oil City, Pennsylvania and was
formerly on the music faculty of
Indiana University of Penn
sylvania. She can be heard on a
series of fifteen Broadway show
recordings, including such stan
dards as "Camelot", "My Fair
Lady" and "Oklahoma", produc
ed by Music Minus One.
The tenor roles in the show are
sung by Douglas Murdock who has
established a fine reputation as a
versatile and endearing performer
whose big tenor voice brings the
Broadway characters to life. He
was graduated from Indiana
University at Bloomington, In
diana and has appeared in starring
roles in a large number of .regional

licks. The result is a clearly visible
rockabilly sound, and never once is
there crying slide guitar, or the
boing-boing of a jews'- harp.
Rickshaw riding sounds like an
Ernest T. Bass profession of love to
an oriental girlfriend. Of course, it
is full of wornout Japanese cliches
we will see the rising sun will you be
my mamason?" The music is inno
cent enough to be entertaining, but
the lyrics are hard to take seriously.
The song Runaway is a narrative
about a woman named Mary who
kills her wife-beater husband and is
on the run. The lyrics feel for her
victimization while the music
moves along to a Los Lobos "Will
the Wolf Survive?" resemblance.
The BoDeans create the sound
that other rock bands base
themselves upon. It is the Buddy
Holly „type of rock, honest and
uncluttered by synthesizers and
dubbing. Most of, all,- the music
works. It is enjoyable to listen to
and it is -never boring. Love &
Hope & Sex &,Dreams is an album
that is diverse as it is enjoyable and
is sure to appeal. to a wide-variety
of musical interests.

Barry Drake
by Steve Aller
Collegian Staff Writer
Bruno's celebrated it's opening
night of the season with the return
of guitarist/singer/comedian Barry
Drake. Drake was well received by
a casual group of 30 or more
students on Sept. 1 at 8:00 PM.
Admission was free for Student
Activities cardholders, 86 cents for
all others.
Drake's repertoire of 20 songs
ranged from Folk to Blues, but he
continuosly returned to Rock 'n'
Roll as his basis. He played
everything from the Beatles, Dillon
and Elvis to Bo Diddly, Robert
Johnson, and... Ricky Ricardo?
Actually the song was written by Ir
ving Berlin, but Ricardo populariz
ed it. Drake was considerate in only
giving us a small sample of his
Ricardo imitation - enough to be
amusing but not annoying.
Drake's success has been
worldwide. He has played in con-

Howard Rossen, the director of

more than thirty productions in
cluding several musicals. He cur
rently serves as Associate Artistic
Director of the South Jersey
Regional Theatre. He is also talent
coordinator for•the daytime- Emmy
awards ceremony.
Songs included in the Magic of

The Magic of Broadway will be
coming to Behrend on September
13, in the Reed Lecture Hall at 8
cert with such well known names as
Van Morrison; • Livingston Taylor,
Emmyloti Harris and others.
Drake's three albums are all
available (including• his latest,
"Solo Survivor", $6.98) through:
Catskill Mountain Records, Red
Kill Road, Fleischmanns, NY
12430.
Drake's success is not all from
singing. Drake schedules himself
between shows and cities to give
lectures on Rock 'n' Roll, it's
history, faces, and unlimited trivia.
Part of his singing act contained
trivia, such as a story of a chance
meeting between Drake and Bruce
Springsteen - "playing for nobody
in a room."
Equipped with acoustic guitar
and harmonica, wearing jeans and
a white pullover, Drake projected a
comfortable, carefree attitude that
evetually persuaded the crowd to
clap in time with a couple of songs.
Further audience participation in
cluded the rating of Drake's
finishing high notes on a scale of
one to ten.
Drake's comedy was definitely
subservient to his singing. The sub
ject of his jokes ranged from Bob
Dillon's green teeth to Billy Idol's
"I.Q. of 12"...even a Ricky Ricar
do joke. Drake described the au
dience he saw once watching an im
itation_ Elvis perform: ,"It's all,
like, 48 year old women in strech
pants... your mothers." He con
tinued on to joke about "Rt. 80 on
a Friday night... it's like combat
zone out there."
All in all, Drake's performance
was very entertaining...•; - :even , • — if
