It is probably a surprise to no one that Ronald Reagan likes military music better than some of the world s best avant-garde jazz made right here in Detroit.

espite a 50 percent reduction in funds

D from government sources, the Creative Arts Collective (CAC) is in the middle of another season of fine concerts at the Detroit Institute of Arts.

The Collective, which features the music of guitarist A. Spencer Barefield, the saxophones of Faruq Z. Bey and Anthony Holland, the percussion of Tani Tabbal, and the bass playing of Jaribu Shahid, is in the midst of a series of four concerts which include an upcoming Nov. 21 duet between Barefield and Bey, A Dec. 5 duet between Holland and pianist George Vary, and a quintet performance on Dec. 26 with Bey, Barefield, Holland; Shahid and Tabbal.

Of course, the music will be some of the finest contemporary improvised (jazz) music you'll be able to find in this area.

In the past, Barefield not only has presented

these fine, indeed, legendary local artists in concert, but was able to bring guest artists, such as saxophonists Roscoe Mitchell and Douglas Ewart, violinist Leroy Jenkins, pianist Muhal Richard Abrams, and trombonist George Lewis to join the locals for some really hot renditions of today s music.

But artists, like the unemployed, those living on social security and food stamps, and those who are lucky enough to work who pay taxes, are victims of Reaganomics.

It s really dismal, Barefield said recently in an interview with Detroit Metro Times. Even though the collective has been funded for next year as well as this current series, the 50 percent reduction in that funding is affecting us in all different kinds of ways.

And with the depression that s hit this city as well as the whole country, the audiences are getting smaller. People don t have money to go out, and because things are so bad people don t Continued on page 19

day that s Harry F. Byrd, Jr. of Virginia and in it he talked about the Voting Rights Act and why Congress should let it expire next year. Its discriminatory against the South, Harry says. And besides, its no longer needed, he says.

Of course, much evidence from the field suggests otherwise. But that s not what want to talk about. Senator Byrd s letter set me to musing, as references to the Voting Rights Act usually do, about a man named Tom Coleman and his anniversary. I have been hazy about the date, so this time I looked it up and found that it has just passed. September 30, to be precise, was his 16th anniversary. It was that long ago that Tom Coleman walked out of a courtroom in Lowndes County; Alabama, a free man, after shooting down two civil-rights workers.

Jon Daniels, an Episcopal seminarian from New Hampshire and Boston, was the first one he shot, from a few feet away with a 12-gauge pump shotgun. The charge caught Daniels full in the gut, lifted him up and threw him a dozen feet back into the dusty street, dead on the spot.

The other target was Father Richard Morrisroe, a Catholic priest from a ghetto church in Chicago. Walking a little behind Daniels, Morrisroe heard the first blast and turned to run. Coleman : got a letter from my senator the other shot him in the back. Morrisroe lay in the street, moaning for help and water for almost 60 minutes before an ambulance came, while Coleman waved his shotgun around to keep people away. Morrisroe was in surgery for 12 hours, but survived.

_HATS OFF TO A.P.C.

I m a disabled Vietnam Veteran, and as such believe know the plight of most of us. feel not enough has been done to help the Vietnam-era Veterans. That is why I m strongly in favor of the following proposals made on behalf of the Vietnam-era Veterans by the All Peoples Congress.

1. Compensation for Agent Orange.

2. Compensation for Post Vietnam Stress Syndrome. :

3. Compensation for being Hospitalized.

4. Compensation for all Veterans_with. Nervous Conditions whether or not they re certified insane.

5. Complete Dental Care without a time limit.

6. Medical Doctors that specialize in Female Medical Problems.

It is with sincere appreciation that I take my hat off to the All Peoples Congress for making these proposals on behalf of a

group of men and women who fought and died for this Country. Those of'us who returned are only stagnating and wasting away, for this country now has deaf ears to our cries.

BIASED?

have been a reader of your publication for several months. must admit you doa fine job of publicizing area events and happenings. However, your publication is unabashedly biased in its presentation of. political commentary. You pride your publication as Detroit s Alternative Publica-tion which implies that there must be a similar magazine emphasizing ideology of a different persuasion. There is, of course, not any such magazine. do not believe a publication promoting the theatre and arts in this area has any role in promulgating political rhetoric. But, if you insist on so doing, suggest you provide your readers with a balanced view rather than the one-sided radical leftist chic always found in your publication.

Although the House of Representatives has passed: an extension of the Voting Rights Act, the Senate must still consider the legislation in the coming months. The President has stated publicly

that he feels that the House -

version is too harsh and favors a couple of major changes: 1. That Blacks and Hispanics prove discriminatory intent in order to overturn any voting procedure that may affect them; and 2. That states and localities be given a reasonable opportunity to bail out of the requirement that they obtain Justice Department approval before instituting any electoral changes. A strong national coalition of civil rights groups have been actively fighting for approval of an extension. If Congress keeps up with its schedule, key votes on the resurrected B-1 bomber and MX missle system will reach the floor during the week of November 16-20, according to the Coalition for a New Foreign and Military Policy. With the B-1 program set at $20-$30 billion and still rising (and the MX program estimated at $41 billion for an interim program), the coalition claims at a time of austerity in social programs and with additional money going to. the Stealth bomber, we should not

The Chicago-based: publication Public Eye reports that there appears to be an internal power struggle going on between rival factions within the National Caucus of Labor Committees (also known as the U.S. Labor Party). According to Russ Bellant, a Detroit observer, the struggle threatens to splinter the neofascist organization best known locally for its front group, the now-discredited Michigan AntiDrug Coalition. It is as yet unclear what form the new organization will take, but it is likely that it will be headquartered in Detroit. In a related development, the December issue of High Times features an investigative story authored by Dennis King which details alleged links between the extremist group and organized crime.

NEWS Oakland ACLU Calls for Special Task Force

by Scott Haas

onald Reagan may be inadvertently inspiring an R increased concern for civil liberties and their defense throughout America, according to attorney Jim Lafferty, president of the Oakland County American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Since receiving our charter in February, Lafferty told Detroit Metro Times, having 1,200 members, becoming Michigan s largest and fastestgrowing ACLU chapter. Backlash against the policies of the administration in Washington is a key factor in explaining that growth.

we've grown to .

likely to receive more: lenient treatment in the form of a reduced conviction than non-white murderers of whites (25%).

3.,A non-white who kills a non-white is very likely to receive a reduced conviction, but a nonwhite who kills a white is very unlikely to receive such reduction.

Another civil liberties issue on which the Oakland-ACLU is working is housing discrimina-tion.- There has been extreme opposition to halfway houses for the mentally retarded. According to Lafferty, racial discrimination by realtors has also been a problem.

According to Lafferty and others, Oakland County is one of the country s most conservative and wealthy counties, making ita particularly difficult region in which to wage struggles protect ing civil-liberties.

It certainlyis the state s most politically powerful county, Lafferty: asserts, but precisely because that power is out here means that the work needs to be done.

Perhaps the most unique issue on which the Oakland-ACLU is currently working is the Oakland County Homicide Study and its results. The study, commissioned by the Michigan Department of Corrections, bias in Oakland County s criminal justice system with respect to those who have been charged with first-degree murder.

The study shows that whites charged in Oakland County with the murder of a white person can. expect more lenient treatment than. non-whites sinter charged.

The Oakland-ACLU is ane ing attention to three features of the State s study:

1. The majority (60%) of first: degree murderers who kill nonwhites are convicted: of lesserdegree homicides. Almost the same majority of those who kill. whites are convicted of firstdegree murder.

2. White murderers of white victims are almost twice (48%) as

Based upon thestidy sonclus Bias sions, the ACLU has called upon Governor Milliken to appoint a special task force to study the extent of racial bias in the Oakland County Criminal Justice System and the rest of the state.

The study comes at a time when there is an increased drive to remove the prohibition against the death penalty from Michi-gan s Constitution and allow the death sentence to be imposed. According to Lafferty, this drive. is being led, in part, by Brooks Patterson, Oakland County Prosecutor.

However, Lafferty says, the study was not aimed at attacking Mr. Patterson let the chips fall where they may.

The ACLU believes that if Michigan were to adopt a death penalty; the same racial bias indicated in the Homicide Study would prevail in Michigan executions. 2

We conside any, infringement of civil liberties a retreat. We never battle to expand these rights; we push, however, to extend the Bill of Rights to modernday situations.

The Chapter has been working with other groups to create informal coalitions. A meeting with the NAACP is scheduled to discuss. ways to approachthe conclusions drawn by the Oakland County Homicide Study. There have been discussions held with organizations opposed to ise ae death penalty.

The most significant opposition to the ACLU, as a national organization, came from Ed Meese, President Reagan s aide, who.earlier this year referred to it: as a criminal lobby.

But if Reagan were a real conservative, Lafferty says, he -would slap Meese s hands we' re. pro-constitution and totally non-, partisan. Its our interpretations that may differ.

Cable May Open the Electronic Window |

by Hugh Grady

A remember my childhood reading correctly, by now we were going to have moving sidewalks on every downtown street, helicopter traffic jams, videophones. and highways that drove the car while Mom, Dad and the kids sat back and played Monopoly as the trees whooshed by.

The future, at least as Walt Disney presented it in the fifties, just never arrived. Instead, we got chronic recession and: doubledigit inflation:

And now cable TV. It doesn t sound very spectacular, but in fact cable promises to have more impact on the daily life of Americans than any consumer product since television itself was introduced.

Along with videodiscs and cassettes, cable is a potent, probably fatal challenge to the domination of our television screens by the three giant networks. For better or for worse, TV pluralism is at hand. Already cable offers endless sports, first-run movies, minority-language programming and, in some areas, pay-porn. And there is more to come much more. The Detroit City Council has specified that any cable system in the city have the capacity for 72 channels, including 13 set aside for public-service use.

Beyond immediate programming, cable is wiring America, providing the infrastructure for a wide variety of possible sciencefiction style, computer-related services. Columbus, Ohio, already has a demonstration talkback service in operation, through which the subscriber can send messages back to the transmitting station, express opinions on public issues or make purchases. In the future you might be able to use cable to tie into computer networks of all sorts. The basis is being laid for an electronic cottage industry of stay-athome workers, to name one big social implication.

In the era of economic stagnation, cable TV is big and expanding business. The - estimated capital needed to wire the city of Detroit, for example, is $200 million. Bidding is a winnertake-all proposition, and so the financial stakes are very high. Since it is up to the local municipal authorities to grant a monopoly franchise to one ef several bidding companies, the potential for bribery, kick-back schemes and the likeis also very high. Hardball corporate maneuvers around cable are also the order of the day. Time-Life was an early investor, and now ABC is into the >.

VOTING | RIGHTS ACT

Continued from cover

This happened on August 20, 1965. was then civil-rights worker in Selma, 25 miles away, and knew Jon Daniels slightly. The Voting Rights Act had just been passed a few weeks before. It authorized the sending of federal examiners into counties and cities: with flagrantly bad voting-rights records. Lowndes County was one of the first areas selected.

It was an apt choice. The population of Lowndes, which is in the heart of the Alabama Black Belt, between ¢ Montgomery and Selma, was then 80 percent black. But not a single black voter was registered in the county at the beginning of 1965; none had been for many decades. The white population, on the other hand, was more than 100 percent registered; which was not uncommon in that region in those days. How, you ask aas the visiting reporters and the Justice _Department asked how could this be? It was no big deal, said the imperturbable registrars, just that they hadn t gotten around to purging _the lists of old folks who d died or people who'd left the county recently. No big deal.

For that matter; when in early 1965 the first Blacks defied custom and lined up to try to register at the seedy old county courthouse built, they say, with slave labor the registrars did not get particularly upset. Of

course, they did move the registration office temporarily over to the old jail, where they set up tables next to the venerable gallows. And while the Blacks were struggling. with the state s literacy test, which incliided such questions as, What legal and legislative steps would the states .of Alabama and Mississippi have to take to combine into one state? the white registrars would talk about the gallows: I guess many a man dropped through there, one wouldsay. Another would add, I wonder if

atmosphere of the old thing still works. No wonder it took eight hours to process a grand total of 16 black people s applications.

And no wonder Lowndes, County was near the top of the list to receive federal examiners. When the examiners arrived, the literacy test was thrown out and several hundred black voters were promptly registered. But many other Blacks were slow to take advantage of their new access to the franchise. It seems that along with denying Blacks the ballot, the local white establishment had successfully instilled in a great many of them a great many fears, including a deep fear of change.

It was in response to this fear that Jon~Daniels and Richard Morrisroe were in Lowndes County in the first place. A group of black teenagers told some local civil-rights workers from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) that on Saturday, August 14, they wanted to march in the county s largest town, Fort Deposit, population hardly a thousand, to challenge the pervasive intimidation. The SNCC workers, like most local black adults, were opposed to the idea of the march but unwilling to try to-dissuade the youths. They settled for urging them to remain nonviolent and to be prepared for violent opposition.

RIDING THE CIRCUIT

Father Morrisroe was new to the South just visiting, in fact, on vacation from Chicago s St. Columbanus Church. Daniels, on the other hand, had been -in the Black Belt all summer. He practiced a kind of circuit-riding ministry, especially among rural black families, seeking out their isolated farmsteads from behind the at

wheel of a battered Volkswagen beetle. One major achievement of his: was the compilation of a handbook describing the various state and federal assistance programs available to these desperately poor people. Most of them, in those days, had never heard of most such programs; the Whites were just as happy to keep them off the federal dole and dependent on local white: generosity. So Daniels s travels did not go unnoticed or unopposed. He was pursued and shot at at least once while riding around the country. This is why, he told Morrisroe, he had traded in the little VW for a swift new Plymouth Fury. He drove the Fury like a madman, the way clergynien do, apparently confident that Providence will protect them until their number comes up. He invited Morrisroe to come to Fort Deposit to observe the demonstration, and the Chicagoan agreed.

At first, neither man had any intention of joining the march they were simply going to observe and take some pictures. But once they got there, Daniels changed his mind. There were no more than 30 teenagers involved, and the lack of any adult presence among them left them to face the hostile Whites alone. Daniels impulsively decided to walk with them down Fort Deposit s short business street, as they set out to picket three establishments, Herb s City Cafe, McGrough s Grocery and Waters Dry Goods. Morrisroe fell in step with his new friend.

The whole thing was over in a few minutes. A crowd of angry Whites, armed with clubs, was waiting for the thin line of marchers, and local police snatched them up before they had proceeded much more than a block. They were carried to the county jail in Hayneville in the back of a garbage truck, and that was the end of Lowndes County s first and last civil_rights march. When SNCC leader Stokeley Carmichael tried to visit the prisoners later that day, he was arrested and tossed in with them.

The group spent six days in jail, crowded into three cells with bad food and worse toilets, in muggy Alabama heat. They refused to make bail individually but determined to wait until bail could be raised for the group. This proved hard to arrange and kept them behind bars until the afternoon of Friday, August 20. Then, for redsons. never satisfactorily explained, the deputies suddenly opened the gates and ordered them to leave the building no bail, no nothing, just clear out. They gathered on the jail lawn, wondering how to get Out of town in a quick and.inconspicu: ous manner; the deputies ordered them off jail property. Someone went to call a friend for a ride.

While they were waiting, Daniels and Morrisroe asked a SNCC workernamed Ruby Sales if she had any money with which to buy a few sodas, to cool them off and wash some of the terrible jail-food taste out of their gullets. She said yes, and the three joined Joyce Bailey, young woman who had also been in jail, and headed - toward a nearby store.

The store, in a small, dull-red frame building, was typical of poor America, decorated maifly with softdrink posters and signs for headache powders. It had been patronized without incident by integrated groups before, and no one of the party was expecting trouble or hoping to cause any.

But Tom Coleman was waiting inside the door with his shotgun. Ruby Sales, leading the way, came up the steps, saw him first and heard him say something like, This store is closed. If/ you don t get off this goddamned property I m going to blow your damned brains out. And mean get off.

Apparently that was when Jon Daniels saw the shotgun, because he grabbed Ruby Sales and pushed her down, taking the blast himself. Father Morrisroe reacted similarly, pulling Joyce Bailey out of the way and urging her to run, before he caught the second shot just above his belt line.

After it was over, Coleman walked to the courthouse and called a friend, who happened to be head of the Alabama State Patrol, Colonel Al Lingo. J just shot two preachers, he reportedly said to Lingo. You better get on down here. Then he was arraigned on charges of murder, and he spent the night in the same jail that his victims had just vacated. The next morning he was released on bail of a few thousand dollars.

Al Lingo did come on down there, took over investigation of the shooting and prepared a case for the grand jury. At that time, Lingo was probably second only to Governor George Wallace as a public champion of Alabama s segregationist ways. And so perhaps it is not surprising that the case he developed turned up evidence that Daniels and Morrisroe had been armed the Episcopalian with a knife and the Catholic with a pistol and hence that Tom Coleman had acted in self-defense. (The SNCC co-conspirators were said to_ have hidden the weapons after the shooting.) The grand jury obligingly declined to sustain the ~murder charge, reducing it to manslaughiter.

The state attorney general, Richmond Flowers, who was developing a reputation as a moderate on racial matters, was outraged by Lingo s work. He denounced the case that had been presented to the grand jury, pointed out that Lingo had refused to show the attorney general s staff a

report of his investigation, and as the state s chief lawyer, vowed to handle the prosecution himself.

The trial was set for September 28, but it was postponed after Flowers appeared and insisted that the state s case, of which he was in charge, was based on perjured testimony. He demanded that the trial be delayed by at least 60 days so that Father Morrisroe, who was by then back in Chicago, though still gravely ill, would have time to recover and could testify. The judge, T. Werth Thagard, declined, and the trial proceeded the following morning.

Ruby Sales and Joyce Bailey both testified, but their eyewitness accounts were disregarded by the allwhite jury, who acquitted Coleman on the basis of his testimony that he saw weapons and acted in selfdefense.

_A GIFT TO THE SOUTH

That was, of course, 16 years ago. Attorney General Flowers tried again a year later with a charge of assaulton Father Morrisroe. By that time things had begun to change in Lowndes County. Flowers was able, for instance, to plead his case before an integrated jury. But the fear that the original demonstration had at-tempted to combat was still dominant in the community; Coleman was

acquitted again.

Later that same year, the new black voters turned out at the polls by the hundreds to cast their first ballots and voted predominantly for the incumbent white candidates. Tales of intimidation were rife, and they were corroborated by the appearance of a tent city near Highway 80, the main road through the county. There, a group of black refugees, evicted from plantations for voting, huddled together. They had nowhere to-go, and some of them suffered through both a soggy Alabama winter and another muggy summer before they found a more permanent home.

Important changes did eventually come to Lowndes County. By 1970, a black man named John Hulett had built the basics of a working political majority, and the fear had dissipated enough to make it count. He was elected sheriff, the key office in the county. Hulett is-still sheriff, having been re-elected twice; he is looking forward to another re-election in 1982.

Father Morrisroe recovered and later left the priesthood. He is now a lawyer in East Chicago, near Gary, Indiana. Tom Coleman is still living quietly in Hayneville, with an unlisted telephone number. He has had noother problems with the law.

It is episodes such as: that that come to my mind when I read letters like thé one from Senator Byrd, about

what a burden the Voting Rights Act has been to the South. He is unquestionably right that the law discriminates against the region; it was meant to. But far from being a burden, it is one of the greatest gifts that America ever gave the South. A gift, because it gave the region s Whites the neces-sary excuse to do something that, as many of them know, had to be done. Much of the South has adjusted to the changes wrought in its wake with admirable grace and calm. (Many Northern communities have done much worse.) Lowndes County, despite the sordid way in which its leading citizens handled the murder of Jon Daniels, now seems to be one such place.

No doubt the county s new leading citizens will eventually erect monuments to Daniels and Morrisroe, as their white predecessors built monuments to the casualties of their earlier Civil War. In the meantime, however, say let the Voting Rights Act, the finest monument Morrisroe and Daniels could hope for, continue to do its beneficial work. There is ample evidence available that that work is not yet done. Senator Byrd may never learn to appreciate it; | arn confident that someday his successors will. rd]

NOTES

The short but sweet series of alternative music at Nitro is over. Nitro, which opened this summer, has ended its exclusive contract with Parenteau Guidance Productions, and the club where new music finds a home has been converted to a disco. Nitro is part of a five-city east coast chain of clubs. The few live shows they do in the future will be by the more garden variety, commercial/top-40 type acts. kK wk kK wk

- Rumor has it that Detroit wonderband Art in America has signed a contract with CBS Records and will go south to record sometime in January. A better choice of producer was reportedly the reason they chose CBS over the numerous other companies trying to corner them.

THE CONTROVERSIALBETZOLD RATING SCHEME

Want snob appeal? Want to impress your friends at parties with your knowledge of film noir, auteurism, mise en scene and other French words which no one understands? Here s quick and sleazy film rating system which will guarantee that you can one-up even Jack Mathews. Here's how it works: xkx* Starsare for quality

WWWW W s for weirdness

ZZZZ Z's for sleeping.

The more (up to four) the more. Four Z sisa sleeper; four W's is Strangeness itself; but don't bother to look for four *'s, cuz Mr. Controversy - is a snob. He don't give four stars to anything that comes down the pike. If movie doesn't have any rating, missedit; and you can figure out whether did on purpose.

THE CAMERAMAN. Buster Keaton s last great silent comedy, with a selection of eight shorts from very early days of cinema. (Cmema Two, Nov. 23.)

CHILDREN OF PARADISE. (eK WW) If not the best film of all time, certainly one of the most beloved. Marcel Carne s invocation of Paris theatre street" of 1945 is charming canvas of personalities, lovers and harlequins, spinning dance of vibrant urbanity, and celebration of the cinema s most human possibilities. (Detroit Film Theatre, Nov. 21.)

RENE CLAIR. Retrospective of the French silent director continues with Le Million (Nov. 12- 5),

Meryl Sie in French Lieutenant's Woman. TONY CONRAD. Detroit Film Project kicks off its season of independent film with personal appearance by Buffalo avant-garde composer __and filmmaker Tony Conrad. Conrad's Flicker is considered one of the classics of structural Films to be shown include Hail the Fallen

1980, Filmfeedback and Enlightenment Through Experience. (Detroit Focus Gallery, Nov. 14.)

DESPAIR. Dirk Bogarde stars as Nazi factory owner who is driven by his madness to murder in this 1978 Fassbinder opus. (Wayne Cinema Guild, Nov. 12.) THE DOGS OF WAR. Christopher Walken is the chief mercenary im this non-canine- shaggysoldier story. (Detroit Film Theatre, Nov. 13.)

HEARTLAND. (*ZZZ) The first major motion picture funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities plays like humanities class generally dull treatise on the rigors of life in early-20th-century Wyoming. Heartland looks at first like long-overdue portrait of what it like to be woman on ranch in the remote West, but Conchata Ferrell fails to inject much life into her character's actions, and the script fails miserably in following through on its premises, ending up being typical story ofa woman's dependence on her husband (played by Rip Torn). Director Richard Pearce eschews Hollywood conventions but ends up instead with tasteless soup, slice of life that lacks. dramatic tension, resolution and purpose. (Opens Nov. 18.)

HITCH More films from the master: Sabotage (1936), the story of boy and bomb on bus (Nov. 15); Young and Innocent (1937). (Detroit Film Theatre.)

I'M NO ANGEL («*W) Mae West and Cary Grant cavort, with West scripting all the good lines for herself (as usual) and making everybody else look silly. Tribute to Cary Grant double feature includes Hitchcock's North by Northwest. (Detroit Film Society, Nov. 13, 14) KAGEMUSHA.

belongs in prime made-fér- TV trash time. MAN OF MARBLE. A prophetic film from Polish master Andrzej Wajda, who mixes fiction and documentary in this 1978 drama about Cracow farmer who becomes bricklayer and then national hero due to the Communist propaganda mill. (Detroit Film Theatre, Nov. 20; Cinema Two, Nov. 22.)

McVICAR. Roger Daltry (Who?) plays celebrated British ex-con in the latest film by the Who rock conglomerate.

NO NUKES. Springsteen and friends don't use solar power to fire their guitars, but otherwise the music and the politics are pretty consistent. Excellent concert footage with Jackson Browne, Doobie Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, Crosby, Stills and Nash, and Carly Simon. (Ann Cinema Guild, Nov. 21.)

RAGGEDY MAN. («*xW) Forget Hollywood romances and costumery. This film does, providing us instead with all-too-real difficult choices and self-effacing courtship. Sissy Spacek plays Nita Longley, divorced woman making ends meet by womaning telephone switchboard in company home in small-town Texas during World War Il. The phoneis always woman alone with two young boys. When handsome sailor comes out of the rain to use the phone, Nita welcomes his affections cautiously, then realizes when the town's tongues start wagging that she can't make love affair work. For change in the movies, woman's children and job come before happy ending. Directed by Spacek s husband, Jack Fisk, Raggedy Man is an impressive debut. Its strengths lie in its refusal to glamorize or to - villainize. Not just touches of authenticity, but a feel for it: the two town bachelors are as grimy and menacing as any you'd meet in a smallpool hall. Unfortunately, the effect is

century warlords fighting for control ofJapan at. the end of its feudal days. Tatsuya Nakadai gives the best male performance ofthe year ina dual role as the warlord Shingen and petty thief who becomes the fierce leader's double after Shingen s death. In the middle of sweeping panoramas of war, Kurosawa offers striking contemplation about play-acting and the helplessness of even the powerful stuck in the cracks of history. Kagemusha is mesmerizing, slow paced, awesomie-to behold, and great antidote to the mediocre movie blahs. (Ontario __ Film Theatre, Nov. 17, 18.) "THE LONG GOODBYE. («***xWWW) Robert Altman s masterful reshaping of the old Phillip - Marlowe detective flicks stars Elliott Gould, a hungry cat and a bunch of neighborly women. Here isa faithful homage to Hollywood Bmovies that excels in comedy, camp an mystery-drama all at once. Excellent cinematography by Vilmos Zsigmond. (Wayne Cinema Guild, Nov. 19.) LOOKER. (ZZW) Albert Finneyis trapped ina trashy film with horrendous writing and direc- tion (both by Michael Crichton) and atrocious acting James Coburn, Leigh Taylor-Young and gg _finging, her job round-the-clock burden for several Playboy magazines full of beautifid women). Finney plays plastic surgeon to whom alone the nefarious plot ofacorporation to utilize mind-control methods on TV audi ences is revealed, literally like an open book. The conspiracy is universal, of course, (only the dauntless Finney; who has a knack for letting all his enemies kill each other off, can stop it); but it is immediately transparent and also incoherent. Crichton s case for video manipulation is so poorly argued that one wonders whether thecorporations who are inrealityemployingtechniques of subliminal seduction purposely constructed this hogwash to defuse opposition. Tnoker cenainly looks like something that

sabotaged by great swells of overly maudlin music and an unsatisfying ending that indulges in too many horror-film cliches. SOUTHERN COMFORT. (*««WW) Walter Hill thinly veiled Vietnam allegory about platoon of Louisiana National Guardsmen who precipitate small guerrilla war against the Cajun backwoodsmen of the bayou country is full of ambivalence about militarism and male bonding. Somewhat comparable to Deliverance, Southern Comfort revels in blaming rednecks for the excesses of American imperialism, while smugly supposing that the two intellectuals in the band (played by Keith Carradine and Powers Boothe) are superior to their comrades both as survivors and as social commentators. Hill does an excellent job of depicting soldierly disdain for the indigenous population, their land and their possessions, but ends up making the Cajuns as despicable as the Guardsmen s stereotypesof them. Hill wants to have it both ways: military invasions are stupid and unjust, but they are also exhilirating tests of manhood. Despite the pulsating rhythms of Ry Cooder s score, the forboding canvas of Andrew Laszlo s cinematography and genetally competent acting, Southern Comfort smacks of dime-store liberal sociology and an all-too-easy disdain for the bigoted bimbos among the Guardsmen and the villainous bad Cajuns of the bayou.

SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY. Glenda Jackson and Peter Finch, Academy Award winners, are both in love with the same man in this controversial 1971 John Schlesinger film. (Wayne Cinema Guild, Nov. 17.)

THE TALL BLOND MAN WITH ONE BLACK SHOE. (x«xxWWWW) Hilarious spoof of detective movies, made by French director phe ee in 1973, in which young violinist the han ina tussle

between political spies. (Palmer soe Film Forum, Nov. 12, 13.)

TATTOO. Bruce Dern and friend use some strong body language.

TIME BANDITS. (xxxWWWW) By far the most satisfying Monty Python movie, Time Bandits, the story of renegade employees of the Supreme Being who flit through holes in the unfinished timescape of creation merely for the sake of gleeful plunder, is the best adventure fantasy of the year. Wild costumes, fantastic sets and the usual Python craziness create History of the World that makes Mel Brooks look like fuddy-duddy. Sean Connery is Agamemnon, John Clesse is prissy Robin Hood, Shelly Duvall is a thwarted maiden, David Warner is the Evil One who worships microwave ovens and computers, Sir Ralph Richardson is God in rumpled blue suit, anda whole band of dwatves, rescued from the awful Under the Rainbow, are the delightfully perverse heroes. Time Bandits is theological tale whose moral is clean up this mess you ve made around here.

THE TREE OF THE WOODEN CLOGS.

Ermanno Olmi's epic about Italian sharecroppers. (Palmer Park Film Forum, Nov. 19, 20.)

TRUE CONFESSIONS. («*ZZW) Robert DeNiro is (supposedly Irish) priest with more materialistic ambitions than piety; Robert Duvall is his compromised cop brother with afoul tongue, grudge to settle and real-world morality thatis superior to ees in this somewhat preachy movie!about the creeping entanglements of little hypoctisies. Though the film's theme is a neat one, its character studyis fuzzy, compromised by script (by Joan Didion and John Dunne) which tells us what we should find:out: non-n-verbally.

Hours: 11-5, Mon.-Sat. and by appointment

Clearly the ground has been laid for an American stained-glass revolution. The first matter to address is the lack of quality glass work; the second is to go back to 14th century basics, to learn the art of glass anew and adapt it to modern design principles. To these ends, Cutters Art Glass artists now turn their energies.

Continued from cover want to go out anyway, Barefield said.

Yet you can t go anywhere else in town for music as exciting as this for the - price. For five dollars, music can be heard that s already beginning to make waves in the normally highly critical "circles ofjazz musicians.

For example, Max Roach, the inventor of modern jazz drumming, heard some of these musicians on a radio show and immediately began singing their praises. Violinist Leroy

Jenkins, one oF the less than half dozen truly successful performers on his instrument irr the history of the music, said, after playing a concert with these musicians, that he was immensely_ satisfied. -

Thee guys. were right on top of it they really played it, man, Jenkins told a national radio audience.

So why are these guys funds géthng cut? Don t believe Reagan. Its not because they can t play.

The fact is that, in line with the president s economic recovery program, there is more money being/ allotted for military bands than for the entire National Endowment for the Arts. The NES-NEA budget for fiscal 1982 is up to $149 million. If the U.S. Senate had had its way, the figure would have been $77 million. The three official military bands of the armed forces, which are used almost exclusively for'enlistment campaigns and public relations for the Pentagon, are budgeted with a higher bottom line. a

_It s so ludicrous, says Ilsa Draznin. What they are really saying is that the military bands are worth more than all

the arts and artists in the country.

According to Draznin, a grants officer ~at the Michigan Council for the Arts, the current round of budget reductions that the council has experienced over the - past two years is an indirect result of the Reagan administration s cuts in overall non-arts. revenue to the state. Draznin told Detroit Metro Times that the federal cuts which have forced the state to reduce the Michigan budget (most recently by another painful $270 million), have had a direct impact on the council, most recently in a 10 percent reduction in the council s 1982 budget.

In the case of the CAC, Draznin feels © that because of the avant-garde nature of their music they will never have as large an audience as many other more commercial groups. I suspect that the CAC s relationship with the DIA s Performing Arts program has been a real plus, she says. She also cites the _collective s attempt to sell season subscriptions as an important direction for future fundraising.

It is my feeling that most arts organizations, rather than continuing to rely on the declining amount of

to have to seek an increasing amount of Wag private support, Draznin argues. She_ believes that arts groups are going to have to take steps toward marketing themselves as a product to the general public on a more aggressive basis.

For Barefield, the new anti-art climate ie coming out of Washington means that the Creative Arts Collective concerts will continue but on a reduced scale without ts eee artists who have joined the group in thepast. And it means an increasingly difficult scramble for an sg ae to grow artistically. ey

the participation of many of the national Z. Bey. It will be their first public government dollars available, are going _

But it shouldn t affect the music: you'll ea hear in this series.

Barefield says he s especially \esisag forward to his duet concert with Faruq performance in duet, and the Nov.21 concert, which begins at 8 p.m. at the Detroit Institute of Arts, promises to be a winner.

Bey is most known for his role as leader of Griot Galaxy, a contemporary _ music ensemble which includes several Pee other members of the CAC. Griot Galaxy is scheduled to have its first recording released soon, and this writer can guarantee you that many of you will be standing on your ears when you hear Pages: ie :

On Dec. 5, there will be a duet performance between pianist George Vary and saxophonist Anthony Holland. Both musicians were around the eS) collective during its formative years in Pes East Lansing, and Vary.is one of the - few pianiststo perform with these musicians.

And the day after. Christmas the Creative Arts Collective's New Chamber Quintet will perform. This-will be a Christmas gift, as they say, for the whole family (and all your friends)!

So, despite Reaganomics infecting the creative arts, it won t stop creativity in Detroit. As Barefield says, In spite of all this, we re still going strong. Its advice we d all do well to take seriously. 2 - 8

amen ON WAX

n the months preceding the I Christmas season, the number of records released nationally can truly stagger the imagination not to mention your wallet. Record stores become veritable hives of activity, as clerks merrily Deck the Halls with new product. The smell of fresh shrink-wrap, varnish and vinyl creates a heady aroma that knocks most vinyl junkies off their feet, as visions of 45s, LPs and cassettes dance through their heads.

Stickers that proclaim Give the Gift of Music begin appearing everywhere, stuck on records, posters, walls and neatly tucked into the corners of most advertisements. As a matter of fact, last week while was working on an album cover, the client handed me one such sticker and asked me to incorporate it into the design. So believe me, I know from experience the holidays are upon us.

What I have been leading up to is another plug for supporting local music¢_Instéad of giving the music lovers on your shopping list the latest Rolling Stones, Stevie Nicks or Who releases, grab a handful of locally produced singles, EPs or albums and put them under the tree. (The singles would. make great stocking stuffers.) Remember, mostfolks are probably going to pick up of their favorite bigname artists themselves anyway, so why not get innovative this year and get them something a little different.

Crenshaw Something's Gonna Happen / She Can't Dance (12-inch 45)

Marshall Crenshaw? Never heard of him, you say?

Chances are very good that you will, and very soon, if my hunch is correct. If you follow the music press at all and have the

latest issues of Rolling Stone, Trouser Press or New York Rocker, take another look and you'll find that all three publications have recently made mention of him. So what is all the buzz about, you ask? Well, Mr. Crenshaw, born and bred in Royal Oak, has just signed a recording contract with Warner Brothers Records. A few months ago, New York Rocker did.a very nice two-page spread on Marshall which I had read, while around the same time his name kept .popping up in, conversation around the office at Goldmine taeeree where I work.

A few cone in the Rocker story bothered me, so I started digging into my collection of Michigan 45s, and it wasn tlong before I turned up what I was looking for. A mysterious little single from Royal Oak on the Great Ape label by a group called Astigafa. could remember enjoying one song on the record in particular entitled Wingnuts, because it reminded me of Lovin Spoonful: Anyway, I looked for the writer of the song and sure enough, the name Crenshaw appeared under the song title.

the right notes in the right places (no excess window dressing here), but this boy can sing. Thanks to Alan s production, Marshall's vocals sit right on top of the hood, where all classic rock-pop vocals sit. Nick Lowe, eat your heart out.

(Shake Records, 1133 Broad-

work of John Cage, toward the end of this tone poem. With so few local musicians delving into this region (pioneered by the likes of Terry Rilley, Phillip Glass and Eno s various obscure projects), this may become one of the most misunderstood records to be released ina Hens way, Room 1101A, New York, . while. NY 10010.)

(Exotic: Surgery, c/o Rik - Widdis, P.O. Box 1675, Warren, MI 48090.)

EXOTIC SURGERY

Next,

Marshall went on to playina local band called Denny and the Robots that specialized in doing covers of sixties hits. Later, with the help of brother Robert on drums, he recorded a demo tape and sent it to several record companies. On that tape was a cartoon copy cover of a Beatles» song that was ironically passed. on to one of the producers of the stage production of Beatlemania, who was impressed and hired-Marshall to play the part ofJohn Lennon in the show. Then, Marshall and Robert moved to New York and formed a group with Chris Donato on bass and began playing the club ~ circuit there. Crenshaw continued writing, began shopping the material around to labels and eventually one of those tunes turned-up on the latest album by Robert Gordon (RCA). Alan Betrock showed interest in Marshall and the group and produced this 12inch 45 on the independent Shake label.

As you may have gathered, the Marshall Crenshaw Sound is rooted in the hook-laden popmelodies of the sixties. While a taste of Rockabilly is evident, so is an equal dose of the punchedup sound of contemporaries like Elvis Costello (especially on the song She Can't Dance ).

Not only is Marshall's guitar playing clean and lean, with all

Exotic Surgery Mannequins (In the Afternoon)

(33-1/3 one-sided Flexi-disc)

Set the controls for the heart of the sun or at least the other side of the musical galaxy. Not only is the sound of this record of an experimental nature, but so is the way in which it is presented: on a clear vinyf flexidi$c. To the best of my knowledge, Exotic Surgery is the first commercially released flexi-disc to come out of the Detroit area (normally you find them taped, glued or stapled into magazines). You are likely to pick up the sleeve and think that they forgot to put the recordin. Some people might not even consider this music but only the sound effects track to ascience fiction film. And yet if you listen very closely, you can hear a beat, almost as subtle as the beat ofa human heart. As far as melody is concerned, that may be moredifficult to detect, but I have a hunch that if you were to speed up the tape that this disc was made from, one would aurally appear.

Kirk Widdis is the keyboard wizard and mastermind behind this project who manipulates waves of electronic and synthetic sound to create an eerie yet at the same time calm and peaceful ambience. The voice of Katy is electronically altered and treated in an almost playful manner that reminds*me of the

Scarecrow Any Time of Day / To Whom it Won't - Concern

This is my own personal favorite this time out. Scarecrow has an infectious and bubbly goodtime sound, with clever lyrics and simple, yet interesting, chord patterns.* The group seems to have a unique ability to arrange seemingly incompatible things like acoustic guitars and synthesizers while - bridging them both with a crazy, almost lopsided reggae beat still make it all work.

and Richard Millettis the lead singer

and drummer, who doubles on suitar. Steve Hines plays bass and supplies background vocals and additional percussion. Last but not least is the multi-talented Timothy Cohan, who plays keyboards, electronic and acoustic suitars, percussion and also sings. Although I haven't had the opportunity to see Scarecrow live, it is one act Iam looking ~ forward to hearing in person. This debut single was recorded at Superdisc in Detroit.

(Scarecrow, 5324 Forest Way, Bloomfield Bills, MI 48013.)

Wayfarer You Keep Shinin | On / Time of Our Lives

Wayfarer is another electric band which uses the acoustic guitar (rock and roll s mostforgotten instrument) to good effect in a tasty supportive role. This group s sound is the most fully realized of all the groups mentioned here so far, who fall into the category of AOR rock. If they have more original material like the songs on this single, a major label would be just plain crazy not to give them a serious chance.

George Prappas and Conrad. Ziemba trade off weaving lead solos as well as dual guitar lines. Bob Burke is a rock solid drummer who works hard at what he does. Bassist Jeff Moore is avery agile lead singer, with a wide range and a real future. This record indicates that Wayfarer has taken the time to get tight and confident about its abilities. The sleeve design, by Donn Smith, is also very good.

On Golden Pond

Meadow Brook Theatre

November 5-28

377-3300

by Cindy Clothier

66 n Golden Pond, the current O offering at Meadow Brook Theatre through November, is a sugar cookie of a play crisp and sweet on the outside, and quickly disappear-' ing into thin air.

Playwright Ernest Thompson's examination of the life and times of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Thayer, Jr. (he s 80, she s pushing 70) as they spend their 48th summer at the family home in Maine, is a likeable, witty and occasionally gimmicky piece of stagecraft.

For an evening's entertainment, that s perfectly dandy. Playwrights, like any artists, must employ the occasional sure-fire device they know will work. Like Pond s running joke of a broken screen door on the cottage that falls offat the proper comedic moment. Like the dim-witted mailman with a heart of gold. and a horse laugh. Like Ethel s (Mrs. Norman) preoccupation with the north woods mosquitoand bug population.

Where Pond truly disappoints is that with such frequently wonderful dialogue and with such potentially memorable characters, a visitor to the Thayer home longs to stay later and talk some more. Sadly, Thompson sends us home before the conversation ever really gets going.

As Norman Thayer, the irascible, razor-tongued patriarch of an all-but-

extinct clan, Harry Ellerbe shines. The part seems to have been written for this droll, subtle imp of an actor. If there is competition among veterans, then Burgess Meredith had better watch out. Every moment Ellerbe is on stage infuses the play with an energy and depth that is otherwise-tenuous. Fortu~ nately, he s on stage a great deal.

The Thayers are an interesting lot. Genteel of manner and liberal of mind, Ethel and Norman tease, scold and reminisce as only people who have loved and respected each other a long time can do. Their mutual understanding is based on much more than habit. Norman s morbid conviction that he is going to die soon upsets Ethel. But with true Yankee spirit she refuses to let it show.

This winding down of the life cycle is a major theme of the play. We sympathize with Norman's fear and vulnerability as he valiantly (albeit tongue-in-cheek) searches the classified ads for career opportunities. And simultaneously we applaud Ethel's determination to keep cheerful and busy without mania, as well as her clear affection for the past and remarkable confidence in the future.

Not bad for an old lady whose husband has angina.

So where's the big flyin this dramatic ointment? Their daughter Chelsea is a healthy 42-year-old whose childbearing years, we learn, produced nothing more than discarded calendars. After getting it together in LA., Chelsea makes arare appearance at the home on Golden Pond where she announces (and not for the first time, we're led to believe):

Everywhere else I'm adult. Not here. It seems Chelsea and Norman have never gotten along. She has a chip on her shoulder where he s concerned, and he s too stubborn to make the first move toward reconciliation. He was an overbearing, demanding father. She was an overweight, insecure child. Ho hum.

enough about any of these interesting, well-spoken people to be able to take them into our hearts and care about their continued well being or lack of it.

Peter Hicks set is a treasure of lived-in rusticity and Terence Kilburn s direction isn't quite certain whether or not to play it all for laughs.:The supporting cast barely carries its own weight, much less

At 42, she's darn lucky to have parents to come home to, let alone the company of a marriageable hot prospect dentist whose precocious 13-year-old son (predictably) shifts Norman's focus from dying to living.

It may be stretching anyone s credu-lity that a pubescent youth who uses bullshit and suck face asverbs could warm the cockles of an acerbic old heart like Norman's. But then, who can know for sure. We never really do find out

any of Ellerbe s.

For the record, laughs were in abundance on opening night, and the audience s enjoyment was palpable.

A film has been made of On Golden Pond, starring Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda. Nothing personal, Hank, but I'll be watching Katie. Ifanybody out there needs an adorable, crotchety old coot of a grandfather figure, get out to Meadow Brook Theatre before Harry Ellerbe leaves for the winter. &

A PLEASANT ADDITION IN MID-TOWN

by Ronald Aronson

ny new restaurant a short walk

A away from GM and Wayne State University would kindle high hopes in the lunch crowd that already knows every taste in the neighborhood by heart. Mr. T & T's promises even more because it is set in a marvelous old house on Third across from Burroughs, one of the handful of remaining buildings in Detroit suitable for such a conversion. So perhaps one day merely walking into Mr. T & T's may be a pleasure reminiscent of, say, Montreal or Toronto. But first Mr. T & T s has to remove that telltale symbol of Motown's impermanence and life on wheels, the porta-sign in front. And they have to make a few improvements. If the porta-sign was not encouraging, neither were the bright orange curtains in the front window, the rocky table at which we sat, the painted metal chairs, the too-bright and slightly _tacky tearoom atmosphere, or the xeroxed mefiu without a cover. The waitress confided to us that she was spaced out because she was moving that week. She was well intentioned but needed more experience: we were afraid that this would recur as the truth of the place.

But as we sat in the living room counting the mirrors and lamenting this.age of dwindling expectations, our hopes were revived by the fire burning in the fireplace and the hot rolls brought wrapped in a_ cloth napkin. The hot homemade vegetable soup (which carne with our lunch) had a nice pepper taste and was filled

with vegetables. It was followed by an.

impressive lunch Ssiad with radishes -and tomatoes (75¢) which was, however, nearly ruined by bottled dressing. Baby calfs liver ($4.50) and Chicken Wing Dings ($3.95) had been recommended as house specialties, and we had been urged to try Mr. T & T's Fries along with them: The menu also in- . cludes sandwiches :($3.25-$3.75), three

kinds of fish ($3.95-$4.50), steaks ($8.25), salads, omelettes ($3.25 and up) and two items of interest we decided to try next time: a ground round, onion and rice baked in fresh green peppers with our own zesty tomato sauce, soup or salad hot bread and butter at $4.25, and a curried turkey salad for $3:75:

The liver was simply excellent: beautifully tender, served with still-crisp cooked onions and gravy. The chicken wings were plump and cut drumstickstyle. They had been marinated, lightly battered and fried. They were delicious juicy, crispy and hot. The potatoes were unusual: cut fresh, with skins, and then fried. One ofus liked them asis, the other thought they were a touch too soft and lacked crispness. Mr. T resolved our disagreement. by offering to. fry them to order as crisp as we wished next time. As a matter of fact, Mr. T was gracious and anxious to please. He tended the fire, showed us around, stabilized the rocky table, and offered us the upstairs room for our next private party. Mr. & Ts has great possibilities and, at thevery least, is a welcome new stop on the WSU-New mote: Circuit. @

MUSIC

A BIRTHDAY PARTY PREVIEW

by Toby PAM SISSON

Pam Sisson will start the day with a solo performance on acoustic. string instruments and synthesizer. Sisson s songs are personal and political statements, reflecting her feminist identity and strong concern for the environment. She is often heard in benefit concerts and community events, usually accompanied by her band, Labyris, and manages to make time for law school in addition to her music. Be prepared for a variety of sounds; Pam combines many musical influences into her own distinct style and plays a spectrum of string instruments including: guitar, banjo, dulcimer, string bass and mandolin.

Performance time: 2:00 p.m.

NGOMA ZA AMEN RA

Ngoma Za Amen Ra is a non-profit - folkloric organization, promoting and performing traditional and contemporary African cultural arts. The group strives to restore accurate knowledge and improve understanding of Pan African history and tradition through the use of dance, music, theatre and craft.

In this performance, the troupe will perform two compositions: an instrumental piece, written and arranged by Modibo Keito (lead drummer) and performed by the women on traditional gourd instruments called shekeres, followed by a traditional Congolese market dance.

The organization's future plans include a local cultural arts center where artifacts can be archived and other art forms can be taught.

Performance time: 3:00 p.m.

NONCE

It is with great pjeasure that the Nonce Dance Ensemble will perform their interpretation of Detroit's renaissance. Renaissance is one movement of the three-movement dance Motor City Sequence, and according to Denise Szykula, | Dawson \ Creative Counseling

Goldberg

choreographer of the piece, it is a celebration dance reflecting the strength and unity of the people of Detroit, in her mind. the key factor in the success of the city.-It s also a sort of thank you to the people who have supported Nonce throughout its recent dance with death. Szykula is certain that without the great community support they would not have survived.

Performance time: 3:45 p.m.

ONXYZ

Make sure to skank it over in time to see Onxyz perform their own blend of funky reggae music. Known originally as Onyx, Seal of the Funk, they have been performing in the-area for over four years, opening for such: musicians as Jimmy Cliff, Steel Pulse, Inner Circle and Brides of Funkenstein. They have recently released their first recording, Dread Wave, a 12-inch single on Solar Sundance, whichis available through the.mail from 16624 Parkside, Detroit, MI 48221. They are now talking to Arista and Island Records and are reportedly getting closer to a major label deal. Detroit reggae lives!

Performance time: 4:30 p.m.

WAS (NOT WAS)

After a triumphant national tour, the loose musical aggregate Was (Not Was) is back in Detroit to record and perform more of their collective genius (there's a thin line. .) Unlike their first album, a musical extravaganza with over 40 musicians. credited, only a core group of Was (Not Was) will be performing Sunday, including: Sweet Pea Atkinson (lead singer), David McMurray (saxophone), Don Fagenson (bass), Butch Small (drums), Dave Mason (viola), Luis Resto (synthesizer) and rounding it out with style, Marcus Belgrave (trumpet).

Future plans for the group include a Saturday Night Live performance sometime in January and a new single featuring Ronald Reagan (we all know

what ax he plays) titled Tell Me That I m Dreaming.

- Performance time: 6:30 p.m.

_ART IN AMERICA

- Although representatives from Geffen, Capitol, A & M, EMI and Chrysalis Records were in attendance at a recent Art in America engagement at Traxx, rumour has it they will sign shortly with CBS after all is said and done. Few Detroit rock units have , generated this much label interest or local excitement in the last few years. Their sound is classically influenced melodic rock which has beencompated to that of Yes, Genesis or Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

Art in America is: Chris Flynn on guitar and lead vocals (and the most prolific songwriter of the group); Shishonee on vocals, playing a six-foot string-pedal harp (as well as Japanese koto, Venezuelan folk harp and Indian tamboura); Danny Flynn contributing crisp, sharp and straight-ahead drumming, and Jim Kuha providing the backbone of the sound driving his bass guitar with a set of Meee Taurus bass pedals.

They will be debuting two new songs tonight which have never before been performed publicly.

Performance time: 8:00 p.m.

LYMAN WOODARD

The Lyman Woodard Organization has for several seasons been among the city s stellar musical attractions. Noted for its spell-binding blend of funk and contemporary rhythm and blues, the group has a diverse coterie of followers and the line stretches from Cobb s. Corner to Rembrandt's. Fronting for the organization are saxists Chuck Overton and the ultraexciting Norma Jean Bell. Percussionist Renell Gonsalves and guitarist Robert Lowe join organist Woodard in the formidable rhythm section. And < brother, when Woodard squeaks, out come the freaks! The organization's latest LP.is Don tStop the Groove. The group can also be heard on the Montreux-Detroit International Jazz Festival Commemorative album.

_Performance time: 10:00 p.m.

MCs for the Birthday Bash will be Carl Coffey of WRIF and Calvin Euseary of WJZZ.
