Toe Tapping Gallery
Lounge Performance
By Kimberly Anastas
On Wednesday, January 20, the
"Bruce Campbell Trio", also known as
"All Strung Out", performed blue grass
and folk tunes to an audience of
approximately 35 in the Gallery Lounge.
Henry Koretzky, Chris deVitry
and Bruce Campbell were this semester's
first performers for the "Live In The
Gallery Lounge" series which hosts
music performers certain Wednesdays
between noon and 1:00 p.m. throughout
the semester.
The talented trio provided a
range of music from upbeat, toe-tapping
Irish folk songs such as "Kitchen Girl"
and lively Texas swing including "Have
You Seen Miss Molly?" to somber folk
tunes like "Little Sadie".

Although all three musicians
are multi-instrumental, only Koretzky
demonstrated his versatility. Campbell
played guitar and deVitry played a five
string fiddle which he said "allows for a
lower [musical] range" as opposed to the
more popular four-stringed fiddle.
Koretzky played the guitar,
mandolin and hammered dulcimer which
he compared to "a stripped-down folk
piano."
For interested folk and blue
grass lovers, the "Bruce Campbell Trio"
will be playing at The Lancaster
Dispensing Company March 12, at 9:30
p.m. and The Gingerbread Man in

MR. PRESIDENT"
OK. The whole thing is about
to bust open. Months and months of
campaigning to decide who will be
president, for years and years. As your
designated TV critic, I don't know if I'm
qualified to comment on the issues
which face America in the last quarter of
the Twentieth Century. So I won't.
No, this will be a completely subjective
examination of the candidates' images in
the media. After all, the winner will be
the person we will have to live with for
the next four, or God help us, eight
years. Whose face do you want to look
at on the front page every morning?
Who do you want to watch bickering
with Sam "The Slam" Donaldson at
every press conference? Who can you
stomach being characterized in
exceedingly lame Saturday Night Live
sketches for another major chunk of your
life?
Michael Dukakis
This guy looks like a high
school principal, and seems like he'd be
as much fun as wet newspaper. He's the
governor of Massachusetts, but we
shouldn't hold that against him, I guess,
although these are the same people who
brought us Ted Kennedy. I just wish
Mike would learn how to smile.
Jesse Jackson
Jesse yells too much. I don't
want a president who will be yellin' at
me all the time. From what I can
gather, Jesse's platform is that if we all
like each other everything will be all
right. If he'd been born in America and
wasn't dead, John Lennon would be just
as qualified.
Bruce Babbit and Richard Gephardt:
Try as I might, unless I have a
newspaper in front of me, or they're on
TV at the moment, I can't remember
what these two look like. Can you
imagine President BABBIT?? It's like
something from Dr. Strangelove. And
"EXCUSE ME,
JADED EYE:

REVIEWS
by C.W. Heiser
Gephardt sounds like the name of a serial
killer from Wisconsin. .t hear he's from
Missouri, though.
Gary Hart(pence):
What can I say about Gary
which hasn't already been said? This
weasel gives whole new meaning to the
word smarmy. Since re-entering the
race, Gary has laid claim to strong grass
root support. This is about right since
rooty mud is where slugs and maggots
thrive. On Sixty Minutes, Gary's wife,
Lee, said he was stupid, so I guess she's
got a handle on the man.
Albert Gore
This lunk's main problem is
his wife. When Judge Ginzberg's
marijuana use came to light, Al and
Tipper were the first to jump on the "Me
Too" bandwagon. I think it was to
make up for Tipper's anti-Rock crusade.
You might remember a couple of
summers ago when she tore into Rock
and Pop music like Carne Nation with a
rash. Among her silly claims was that
Sheena Easton's "Sugar Walls" is far
more explicit than the music of the
Sixties. Maybe marijuana does kill
brain cells, although it could be genetic -
- after all, her name j Tipper.
And the winner is
Paul Simon
Some pundits have said that
Simon is Harry Truman for the Nineties.
Sure, if Harry was a shill to sell popcorn
for the Orville Redenbacher label. With
his bow-tie and horn-rimmed glasses,
Simon is either a media genius or an
honest goof. He's come this far without
a hint of scandal, so it might be some of
both. Simon's dad was a Lutheran
missionary in China. I grew up in the
Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and
the ministers' kids either go wild or
grow up to be Paul Simon. . . Honest.
Stubborn, maybe, with whirly-bird
ideas, but honest.
