Page 3 Grass By Bob Ihnlichwilmn Swamp water flowed freely while Virginia reels unraveled to the enjoyment of all. Bluegrass banjo sparkled driv ing on the band and dancers who in turn egged on the drinkers which equals success or slop-ccess! The Bluegrass allstars nev er sounded better but then neither did the crowd who filled the student center last Friday night. Between the band's sets students and local talent provided music for the listening of the resting dancers. If you want more bluegrass here why not let the Board of Governors know or even better get involved with another club or group with such a project. Gary Boughter, who played banjo here last Friday night, was asked to join Ben and Vallie Cain of Falls Church, Virginia.

Album Reveiw: Dan Crary "Ladies Fancy" This is Crary's first LP in several years. Growth is noticable. His approach is much more individualistic and his concepts incorporate other musical ideas fluently. "The Devil Played Fla menco' with a Flat Pick" is "Devil's Dream" in a fine new setting. Several cuts like "Sally Gooden" are long jams utilizing a fine cast of musicians. Side one is primarily Sundance which includes Bryon Berline, John Hickman, and Allen Wald. Side two features the New Grass Revival's Sam Dush and Courtney Johnson. All cuts are inventive and textured. If you like flat top picking with heavy doses of mandolin and fiddle , this LP is recommended. Welcome good (or bad) that you'd be inspired to write about it?

Reader DISC ussions By Greg Hall seven pas de deux and solo dance scenes. The Los Angeles Philharmonic, directed by Lawrence Foster, presents a very credible performance of the wide-ranging repertoire presented by the American Ballet Theatre in the film -- from Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Black Swan to an adaptation of Duke Ellington's "Vortex".

Manorisms -Wet Willie (Epic) ttt This album is bound to do good on the charts, because it is an easily accessible, fun album chock-full of toe-tappin' rhythm and melodic hooks. A trip to England for recording this album is an obvious attempt by Wet Willie to disinherit their Southern roots in favor of some slick, McCartney-esque pop. Thankfully, they have not totally disguised their Southern Spirit, for it manages to sneak through the glossy production. However, obvious elements synthesized into their style include healthy doses of McCartney & Wings, early J. Geils Band, and more than a subtle touch of Creedence Clearwater for good measure. Just try to resist "Street Corner Serenade"( Down on the Corner" restated?), or "One Mind".
