Governor Rampton was asked to select Utah's most deserving project, which will ' them compete against selected projects from all other states for the $10,000 prize. The Governor has asked Mrs. Gene Hatch, president of the Ogden Standard Examiner Corporation and treasurer . of the Utah Environment center: Mr established four year ago by Hart Wixom, editor of "Utah Outdoor" and noted sport-swriter, sport-swriter, and Mrs. Millie Ehrman, secretary of the '; Uintah Chapter of the Sierra .

Any projects-completed during the past five years are eligible and applicants must Headlining the Golden Spike National Old-Time Fiddler's Contest and Bluegrass Festival held earlier this month in Ogden was America's hottest contemporary con-temporary bluegrass group Country Gazette. One Sunday evening, before CG's final set for the three day event, Roger Bush stage spokesman and bass fiddler for the group, reminisced about his nearly two decades in the music. He began by discussing his post-high post-high school relationship with the famous White Brothers (Ronald, Clarence and Eric) and their first band The Country Boys. "I was trying to get to where it changed to the name Kentucky Colonels. Anyhow, we got back from Missouri and Roland got drafted. It was about '62 and we made an album called The New Sound of Bluegrass America. The engineer was a fellow that played bass on a old rock-and-roll song called Tequila. Ralph and Carter Stanley were playing at the Ash Grove (in Hollywood) at the time. We had told them we were cutting this record and they just got in their own rented vehicle and drove put there and sat in the booth all night long, told him what knobs to turn, and helped us I would have been about twenty-one. Clarence must have been seventeen. Billy Ray Leatham and Roland are both a year or so older than I am. "We made the record for Joe Maphis and Johnny Bond; they had a publishing company and all the. contacts. They sold it to Briar records. Briar wouldn't put out a bluegrass record under the name Country Boys because back then Mac Wiseman was kinda famous and his group was called the Country Boys. We couldn't think of a different name so somebody sent us a list of names and one of those was Kentucky Colonels, and why we picked it I'll never know. We knew that if we changed the name, the name is just going to be what we make it, so we could just name it anything. So we picked Kentucky Colonels and we just started going by that name. Roland finally came home from the service and we toured all over the states as the Kentucky Colonels." And today when bluegrass fans are getting together make recommendations to at festivais and talking, its not only the legendary the Governor, who will make the final selection.

"Well, Leroy was a member and, in fact, we wrote almost all the songs on that first album. There was a ' couple of them on there that Buck Graves, Uncle Josh, helped write. I think he (Leroy) wrote on Country ; Gazette's new live album. He wrote this (pointing to 'an album). To Prove My Love To You. It's really a neat song. t know some old-time' music fans who view bluegrass as fa sort of flashy adaptation of Iris2 and southern traditional music, that nevertheless revere their collections of old Kentucky Colonel tapes. "Well, we made an album with Roland and Clarence called Appalacian Swing which has Prisoner Song on it. It's all instrumental. It's since been re-released from London, and it has two other singing songs we had recorded as a single back then with Scotty Stoneman on the fiddle. A lot of people who, like you say, are old-time music collectors, get that one 'cause it has such fine picking on it. I sure always appreciated ap-preciated what Clarence and Roland could do together. It's that brother teamwork. You can't hardly get it without getting brothers." You recorded you new "live" album at McCabes Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, California. What's it like playing there? "Even big name pickers, once they have played there, and if they can get into McCabes, they always want to come back. There's no booze, no nothing there, just cookies and coffee. At first it's kind of "scarey" because the people just sit there, you know its verv quiet, and at the end of thw song they very politely clap. But you can get them turned on sometimes, hootin' and hollering a little bit, but its so intense while you're playing. They just listen to everything you do, I mean they don't miss a lick. And you feel sure that everybody out there knows more than you do about it. I mean what have I ever learned? I've been doing it and they've all been studying it." What happened to the Kentucky Colonels? "Well, at the end there, in '66, we has so much trouble getting work as a bluegrass band. Things were really getting rough, so I bought an electric bass and we had an electric rhythm guitar. Clarence bought his first "telecaster" and Roland just played mandolin over a P. A. He tried a couple of electric mandolins and it never worked. We hired a drummer and played a sort of 1966 version of the Flying Burrito Brothers, but maybe it was a little ahead of its time. We were playing country music from a bluegrass end. At that time Clarence was being heavily influenced by James Burton and Mike Bloomfield, who was just a ferocious guitar player back then. Of course Clarence retained all his influences from first Joe Maphis and then Doc Watson and Don Reno. They were his three main influences for the flat-top guitar and then he transpired all that( plus the Burton-Bloomf'eld feeling to get his electric sounds." Where you still called the Kentucky Colonels after you went electric? "Yes, it was still the Colonels. We played at the Flame Room Lounge at the Azusa Bowling Alley in Azusa, California. After 6 or 9 months we just got sick of it and quit that. Clarence was getting awfully good and he wanted to see if he couldn't get into some recording work. This was in April or May of 1966." How are Country Gazette's Albums put together? "We owe our albums to Jim Dickson, our producer. If you go back a lot of years, he produced Tambourine Man and Turn, Turn, Turn, by the Byrds, the first Dillards album and the first two Flying Burrito Bros, albums. Nobody else could produce our albums. The next best thing would be to do it ourselves, but we just don't have the know-how. He has the ability to communicate com-municate with the engineer and with us. He went along with our suggestion of Al Perkins (steel guitar on "Day Job") not because we'd picked with him and he was our friend, but because he was "perfect" for it. And then we wanted a little electric bass on Honkey Cat and I tried it, but we wanted something different. So he hires this Lee Sklay, who I'd never heard of. Clarence later.described him as the only bass player he knows that picks his ass off. Our sound, naturally is different than a Stanley Bros, album, or other bluegrass albums,and Jim Dickson is responsible for that sound."
