at the Georgian College Theatre The answer was resounding yes from the young lessthan capacity crowd of about 400 The Slam isnt your average band not in magnitude or material Guitarist Timo Laine drummer Jan Uvena and keyboard player David Stone are charting new musical waters with battery of elec tronic equipment As with any experiment there are occasional misdirec tions Laine on his $60000 polyphonic synthesizer guitar and Stone on about six dif ferent keyboards and syn thesizes sometimes sounded more like competitors than collaborators Vocals not exactly Laines specialty to start with sounded bit muddled in the early stages Still theres something very promising about this group which has existed in various forms for about five years Elaborate synthesizer sound appears to be the way of the future and Symphonic Slam wants to be among the first to get there The electronic devices that theyre experimenting will give whole new dimension to rock and roll The combination can reflects its concern for right balance The Consumers Association of anada stand against na tional beef agency reflects its concern for right balance between the interests of the consumer and producer says Tom Delaney Harrie president The AC joined growing list of farm organizations opposed to regulated prodUction in the beef industry when it presented brief to the Senate agriculture committee last week The brief opposed the forma tion of national beet agcncy that would control production and administer prices Delaney said that the as sociation was conscious of and sensuive to the problems of producers but that the scale was too heavily on the pro ducerssidc He sees conflict between the consumers interest and resolving the problems of the farmer in way that gives him control over quotas and prices Delaney said that govern ment wasnt the body reg ulating production and price In truth marketing groups are exclusively producer controlled Producers set the quotas and prices No forces outside of the civil servaan in volved and the farmers have any say The At complaint is that theres really no government control over marketing tmards he said The brief preScntcd last week stated that in our view there is little reason to believe that rigidly regulated system would be an improvement over the ex isting one while the admin istrative costs would likely be high and if ast experience is any guide ornc largely by consumers WHEIANSlllfiltlS Agriculture Minister Eugene thlan supports better marketing program for the iii dustry onc that would remove the boom and bust cycles that have plagued cattlemen in the past Afternoon of Duets to more than 100 in RyMlRllllJJlElER The tastes of the general public in music as well as in fashion change from time to time Perhaps because of TV viewing audiences today seem to prefer large Shows or musicals early music consorts and recitals of groups or at least combinations of artists The Afternoon of Duets which took place Sunday after noon at Collier Street United Church therefore was par ticularly pleasing to the more than 100 people who attended Elizabeth Reid rillia Con tralto and Susan Ford Ricketts Barrie Soprano joined together to sing program of vocal duets familiar and unfamiliar Charles Woodrow rillia organist pianist ac companied The program covered music from the early periods of Baro que through the Romantic era to music of our time It was Canadian composer Robert Flemings music Con fession Stone that stood out starkly and with impact Elizabeth Reid sang the dramatic text that tells of Marys neardespair at the death of Jesus and then Her be effective as the trio demon strated on tunes like Fullback The Slam sound is progression in the vein of Syrinx best known for the Here Come the 703 Theme with traces of Emerson Lake and Palmer The band it most resembles however is King Crimson of 1969 vintage One of Laincs guitar solos sounded like graft from Crimsons let Century Schizoid Man The show wasnt devoid of theatrics The bands opening number had solemn religious tone and the performers were garbed in satin cassocks as chants droned through the wall of speakers The performance ended with the explosion of six flares the realization of the hope and redemption for mankind that it implies The beginning of the striking song had constant interjections of knit one purl two as Mary anxiously asked the time The song and accompaniment had compelling beauty and Eliz abeth Reid made the most of the text and the music stirring the listeners with the descrip tion of the lead Jesus and caus ing them to inwardly rejoice with the thought of the resur rection Confession Stone was one of the two vocal solos on the pro gram of Duets The other vocal solo Nuptiae Factae Sunt was sting by Susan Ford Ricketts Composed by Hindemith it has security of pitch that lets the listener relax and enjoy the music and necessity in most coniteinporary music Woodrow became part of the music He has an instinct for accompanying vocalists supporting them with tonal volume and dramatic flair when necessary and with finesse and delicate style in the appropriate moments Both singers had worked toward blend of voices and last of which was substantial enough to fill the whole theatre with smoke The crowd loved it and brought the group back for twosong encore The opening act blues band from Toronto called Wooden Teeth worked hard but found itself in an unsympathetic en vironment Wooden Teeth presented set of mostly original material with overtones of the Geils Band Rufus and Little Feat It just had standard equip ment howevermorgan bass one guitar drums That left Wooden Teeth dwarfed on stage where the headliner had well over $100000 worth of elec tronic gadgetry While acknowledging the need for producer protection against unpredictable market conditions the CAC said tax payers or consumers should not be required to continuously provide guaranteed rate of profit to cattlemen lts producers that set the quotas and thats where we say there should be other voices The consumer voice has to be heard said Delaney Farmers he conceded have been critical of the association for its stand against the marketing board system The is conscious of farmers problems in maintain ing steady income we agree they work hard but its question of getting the right balance he stated The traditional system of supply and demand is really af fected by marketing boards We hope somebody else hopefully us will have voice he concluded noting there seems to be little outside influence over these agencies pleasing audience the result was rewarding Ex cept for an overbalance in the first Mendelssohn song the two voices complemented each other The Duets then were joy to listen to It is difficult to choose favorite duet from the pro gram The section of four Mendelssohn songs was indeed beautiful music But perhaps ffenbachs Barcarolle from The Tales of lloffmann and Puccinis Flower Song from Madam Butterfly were the favorites of many in the au dience Three songs by Cole Porter brought delighted response from the listeners and Vienna My City of Dreams is popular with everyone The vocalists produced some beautiful music in the after noon rectial They have secure pitch so that the listener can relax and enjoy the music without anxieties Then they are sensitive musicians intent upon beautiful sound as well as interpretation This combina tion of musicianship gave the audience concert of in teresting music musically per formed It was musically rewarding Sunday Musicale The first two sections of Duets were accompanied by Woodrow on the organ The ac companiment was somewhat overpowering in the first duct by Green Blessed Are Those that are Undefiled But he scal ed the music down for the following songs and the result was well balanced Charles Woodrow also played the Allegro movement from Mendelssohns Sonata No The brilliant solo established him as virtuoso artist The Afternoon of Duets con tinued to establish the appeal of Sunday afternoon musicales in this community The three ar tists repeat the concert in rillia RAISE T0 PARADE The reason that elephants can
