May 11, 1978
Country music in the 1950's
hit an all time low, especially
the music of the more
traditional performers. Rock
and Roll was hot stuff and
nothing was selling like it.
Everyone was doing Rock and
Roll except the more traditional
performers who would parody
it in an attempt to infuse it into
their act.
All the songs on this limited
edition 1p were recorded
between September 1955 and
July 1957. There are none of
the sloppy cuts and "over
material" of the 60's. There is a
verve to the songs not often
found in music much less a
particular music. Not only are
these songs top notch, "Don't
Let Your Deal Go Down",
"Some Old Day","Six White
Horses" and the title song, but
it also includes this reviewer's
favorite Scruggs banjo piece,
"Shuckin the Corn".
Dobro enthusiasts beware,
Uncle Josh is hot on this one.
Paul Warrer turns in a fine job
on fiddle while mandolin and
tenor are handled by Curly
Sechler.

Johnnie Lee Wills (Bob's little
brother) represented on Tulsa
Swing: 1950-51, Radio Trans
criptions, Rounder 1027.
Actual transcripts from a
couple of Will's shows fortify
my hypothesis that in order to
be a country star one must have
had a void where the talent
should have been. Cowboy
songs abound in lush har
monious, sloppy tones. Much
like the Sons of the Pioneers.
Johnnie Wills does some
fiddling that would awaken
Jack Benny from the grave.
Johnnie Lee's band is a
number 1. When they swing
they mean business. The fiddle
work is exquisite with a
exemplary "Leather Breeches".
If you like your swing western
and your chatter corny, this
may well be to your liking.
There are a couple of fine
outdoor events coming-up in
the area.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT
The Hot Mud Family, from
Ohio passed through the area
last weekend playing Dicken
son College and the Blue Marsh
Inn. The greatest plays WO
time, bluegrass and assorted'
ecelectic pieces from the 20's
and 30's. They have a smooth
sophisticated sound utiling
subtle variations in time and
harmony to heighten the
palatablity of their music. If
there ever was a cocktail
lounge bluegrass band, they are
it. They use the best songs for
their style but the lack of bite in
their attack dulls the end
product robbing it of any raw
vitality.
Photography Club
Last week the club was the
beneficiary of Prof. Trunk's
experience in filmmaking. The
advisor's presentation covered
the basic differences between
movie and still photography.
Some tricks and special effects
were illustrated along with
some samples of his work.
Prof. Trunk is currently
working on a 16mm color sound
film in mechanical engineering
for the school. He has involved
his students in the film.

The latest and anxiously
awaited film from Sylvester
Stallone, entitled F.1.5.T., is
finally out and the wait was
worth it. The film is about the
development of a local, #302, of
the Federation of Interstate
Truckers and the rise of that
local's leadership into positions
of prominence in the Inter
national organization.
Stallone has taken a story
about a man, an idealist, who
tries to help his fellow workers
and developed a film about
humanity, reminiscent of Rocky
with Stallone's spirited perfor
mance and the role he played,
and Grapes of Wrath with its
portrayal of people. The casting
of this film was very good.
Peter Boyle and Rod Stieger
both add to the film in their
portryals.
The taste of success has not
afflicted Stallone, judging by
the quality of the story, for he,
by co-authoring the script, has
reached for artistic integrity
over just plain walking through
scenes to the breathless oohs
and ahs of an adoring audience,
This week the club will get
into the area of color
photography. Next Thursday,
May 18th, at 8:30 pm in Room
211, the club will hear Mr. Ken
Dunlap, Met. Edison Co., talk
on producing a slide show. Mr.
Dunlap will show some new
material he has produced on the
Three Mile Island Nuclear
Station. Due to the general
interest nature of this meeting,
any interested student is
welcome to attend.

rayals
This film is a modern
example of an old tradition: the
classic tragedy. Stallone por
trays a man who, in an effort to
help make his local effective,
makes deals with organized
crime, thus tainting a noble
effort and sacrificing his friend
and eventually leading to his
fall.
Stallone plays a sensitive
role and shows great promise
as the next great American
star. Rocky brought him to the
attention of the movie-going
public but F.I.S.T. should
cement his reputation as an
actor to be reckoned with.
