entertainment Editor Stephen Gouer7266537 Songs of Nancy White captivate NAC audience By JAMES NELSON The Canadian Press Nancy White made her debut at the National Arts Centre recently and was ac claimed as possibly one of the hottest new talents Canada has seen in years And it was all apparently surprise to the arts centre itself She is composersinger oomic who was built up small but enthusiastic follow ing among listeners to the Sunday Morning news com mentary program on CBC Radio not one would think the widest possible show business exposure She arrived at the NAC as guest artist on program put together by Hagood Hardy Toronto composer Of The Homecoming the lyrical piano piece that swept both American and Canadian record charts just at time when they needed instrumen tal relief from rock and disco singers The arts centre gave her no special publicity and one in formation officer said he knew rio more about her than the oneline mention in publicity for Hardy It was Hardy who booked her as parloth show ROWI ENTHUSIASTIC She held the stage alone for more than half an hour with line of saucy chatter and songs accompanying herself on piano and guitar and won applause almost as en thusiastic as that given Har dys own finale The Homecoming She opened her act with the usual remarks about how hap py she was to be in Ottawa and what wonderful thing it was to work at the NAC Then she repeated the whole thing in Spanish saying she understood everything had to be done in two languages in Ottawa Her songs first surprised and then drew laughter from the civil service citys au dience songs about suburbia and the boring jobs of government file clerk stories about the Mounties and the Post Office about the Queen and about the newest teenage idol Prince Andrew OVER 1500 FREE PARKING SPACES Some of the songs were from her album Cvil Service Songwriter on the Attic label for which Hardy also records Something of Nancy Whites viewpoint is in her remark that Canada at last has lost its innocence its role as boy scout in the motorcycle gang of nations Canada now has scandals JUST NORMAL BOY Prince Andrew she sang is teenage prince just nor mal boy with Mountie chaperone And the Queen she said should learn to talk to Scottish nationalists in their own language for when she nilliA TIIEArnEs Is on the Crown Glasgie longs to me Who is this Nancy White most of the capacity audience for Hardy was asking only part way into her turn on stage She was regular on the defunct CBC radio Sunday morning show Cabaret satirical look at the weeks news composing numbers each week in her own idiom She won an award last year from the Association of Cana dian Television and Radio Ar tists as best variety performer in radio And this year she and Gay Claitman won

films 15000 drawings by himself and he went $25000 into debt but he produced the half hour show The Gift of Winter The film also produced his first falling out with the CBC and in what tumed out to be the first of many trips south of the border leech took off to sell the film in the United States In my view the CBC made no attempt at all to market that film abroad says Leach who signed $75000 deal
