February 23, 1978
Ola Belle Reed was one of
many migrants from the
economically deprived South
who came North looking for a
better future. She recently
recorded her second album for
Rounder featuring the songs
and sounds of her life.
Ola Belle's family came from
Ashe County, North Carolina
some forty years ago. She
brought with her a love of
music and a banjo.
Ola Belle turns her life
experiences into song. She has
an uncanny knack of cutting
through the pretense to the
heart of a situation.
Her home is Rising Sun,
Maryland, from where her
Stereo Exposition
University Park (PANS)--The
Pennsylvania State University
will be the host of a Stereo
Exposition on Wednesday, April
6 through April 7.
The two day event will
feature an audio equipment
display in the Ballroom of the
Hetzel Union Building. Semi
nars with guest speakers will be
held throughout the building.
Sol Mazantz from Dihlqist
Corporation and Al Selby from
Radio Shack will speak on an
informal basis with students
who have questions about
equipment.
Other seminars will include
a multi-media presentation on
recorded music, with lectures
including "Speakers Unlike Any
Other'' and "What Recording
Engineers Look for in Loud
speaker Performance."
Oh, Godl
Rosemont (PANS}-A well
stocked supermarket, a middle
income home in the San
Fernando Valley and the glow of
California's winter sun are the
precisely proper sunoundings
for John Denver's first film.
His ear-to-ear smile, Dutch
boy haircut and penny glasses
are evoking wistful "oohs" all
over Los Angeles as Denver
plays the assistant manager of a
supermarket in Oh, God, a
picture as inevitable for the
young singer as the fact that he
would become a film star.
Friendly and private, he
comes and goes on the set with
a self-effacing ease, and if it

husband, Bud, their second son,
David, and herself travel
playing their music and
spreading the good feelings
their music brings.
Bud Reed plays harmonica
and guitar with a special
affinity for Jimmie Rodger's
songs while David plays "hot"
guitar in the bluegrass style.
Ola Belle plays old-time
clawhammer banjo and sings up
a storm. She also writes
songs--great songs! Things like
"I've Endored", "My Epitath",
"High on a Mountain", and
many more.
Albums by Ola Belle Reed

the nation.

weren't for the shiny reflection
from his teeth and glasses, one
would never suspect him of
superstardom and utter profes
sionalism. This time, instead
of Frank Sinatra, Joitnne
Woodward, Doris Day, or any of
his previous showmates, he is
teamed with George Bums, two
and a half times John's age and
surely the biggest octogenarian
star in the world.
Oh, God is directed by Carl
Reiner and is produced by
Warner Bros. by Jeny Wein
traub, who has put together
Denver's TV specials, his
conceits and his nightclub
teaming with Sinatra.
