A MARK SHERMAN'S HOME OF =MSS 3613 Walnut St. Harrisburg, Penna. 17109 By Bob Buckingham Old timey is a catch all term for traditional stringband music and the old mountain vocal styles. The music is as diverse as the people who play it. Recently an album of a very proficient old time banjo picker came my way. Omer Forster has quietly developed one of the most distinctive banjo styles of any old time banjo player in the country. His archaic two finger style has a lightness of touch combined with grace and highly devel oped melodies. His style is not classical though it often sounds like it, but then sometimes his playing sounds like the old clawhammer style. On the album, IFlnvery GN Davis Unlimited-33037, Forester also plays with Houston Daniel and The Highland Rim Boys, a local group and a rarity as they are a working old time band in a time Whe* 'those "9114, 7 _`time bands arebA k Wotkink; 'Masi of these biedif hive Nglire a into bluegrass or been replaced at loc.al dances by a l doutgi* band Phone (717) 652-7714 • New and used stringed instruments • Leisons in all styles • Expert repair and supplies • Bluegrass records and tapes • Friendly pickin' parlor i4P; ratiti tbiti or canned music. As a unit Forester and the High Rim Boys are a good square dance band, but the 1p shines where Forester is alone. There is an almost mystical quality to this man's music as the title cut will reveal. Sally Gooden, a tune most often thought of as a Texas fiddle tune, receives a treatment somewhere between Earl Scruggs and Kyle Creed. The graceful flow and subtle variations make for a superla tive interpretation of this old tune. If you like old time banjo, this album is highly recom mended. Sometimes an 1p is released which is a highly detailed glimpse into a musi cian's life. Carl Fleischhauer has provided us with just that. The album is Cold Frosty Morning, Melvin Wine, Poplar I. The detailed notes and fine photographs on the jacket give a good idea of the lifestyle and living conditions of Melvin Wine, a Braxton County, West Virginia fiddler. who farms and collects benefit payments. He is a pillar in a dying rural community. Where WEDNESDAY APRIL 19 Matinee,Student Center $.50 Evening show, auditorium 81.00 8:00 In love, it is better to give Clto receive.

Banjo tunes. ballads, fiddle tunes and stories make up the tracks. The 1p is accompanied by a booklet again filled with fine photography and text for the songs and stories.
