Last year and the year before, and well just about ever since I can remember I've made the very same resolution but I guess my heart was never really behind the motion or I didn't want to do it because I enjoyed the vice or at least enjoyed the two or three a day like after meals and times like that that they taste good even though people who never took up the filthy disgusting habit out behind the bushes or in the bathroom during break won't believe that smoke could actually taste good, but a couple times a day tobacco is tasty indeed the catch being that you have to wheeze and hack through the all the crumby ones that hurt your hangs just so a few taste good like a cigarette should (which is bad grammar but most teachers'll tell you stream of consciousness writing' is bad grammar, too); but this year I really have to quit because for one I've been coughing a lot and you know sometimes there's .a pain in my chest and the holding index and second fingers just keep getting more brown and ugly and that "A Day In The Life" Wes Montgomery album with all kinds of butts in the ash tray on the front keeps haunting me when I look shallowly into my ash trays and then I watch thif two year old son pick the stubby butts up and stick them in his mouth and think it's real neat and grin and stuff, you know the old like father like son thing; plus, now there's hardly a store wherein you can have a smoke while you look things over, and your friends won't sit with you on an airplane or at some restaurants they want to sit in the no smoking section so their taste buds pick up the sweet and sour, sugar and salt and everyone says wine sips better sans jsmoke so, yesterday I bought a carton of my brand and I'll smoke every last one of them and burn my habit out before the New Year... but now how come every time those words come up the thought of taking away from, myself my tubular blankies gives me jittery eighty year old hands hands that couldn't write one lousy word and a mind's eye focussing on no particular knot on and in the wall for what -seen3nyie.. lW0'as x.wob wot ysV ,00c"; 33 . So if it kind of helps you do what you're pretty sure (and that, too, I've been told is pretty awful grammar) you want to do, it isn't such an evil wicked mean bad and nasty habit and besides, I'd probably get fat and have no idea what to do with my hands. Yeah, I guess I won't quit, again. The six outdoor, members-only members-only tennis courts of the Park City Raquet .Club's phase one con . lion have . , been completed. You'd think that at this late winter date that fact wouldn't even concern us, that we wouldn't even ' be a 10 see them, yet there they are, ; plain as frozen brown earth. But, since the lows these days are, indeed, frozen as next week's vegetables, the outdoor courts, as far as volleying goes, really don't concern us. Those that are indoor do. And Monday they began pouring the Laykold 300 surfaces (which is the same surface found on the courts 'in the cold) for the four first phase indoor tennis courts. The pouring process takes, when everything goes according to c days. So, theoretically, tennis without with-out layers and layers of woo) and down should be able to in played within the week.

Has the instrumentation in your band always been the same?, ; .It's been .the same for the last several years. What's the positive thing about having two drummers? It adds a dimension that you don't get any other way. It's the difference between a steam locomotive and a desiel. There's not any more volume, particularly. You can turn one set of drums up as loud as you can two. It's like a solid wall back there with two. Our band was formed with two drummers and it's been hard to get two drummers to work j together. These two guys we got now play together and the other combinations didn't. It's hard because each one has got to give up a little bit of what he is and get into a little bit more of what the other guy is. These two dudes can do it, James Brown used two drummers. Three sometimes. The Allman Brothers Band used two drummers', and I guess they probably had more influence on us getting two drummers than anybody else. Do you have any career goals? .Platinum albums and sold out concerts. That's our goal. We work just as hard for 1,500 people as we do for 15,000. We played before 1,500 last time we were here, and last night we played before 2,600. Next time we come back I'd like to play before six or seven thousand at the Salt Palace, and the time after that I'd like to fill the place. The last time you were here your opening act was the accoustic-traditional Deseret String Band. Last night Bluesman John Lee Hooker opened your show. Does it matter to you what kind of music precedes yours? .Well, we just go on stage and do the same thing every night. You could put the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on in front of us and it ain't gonna change our set a bit. We just got through doing a tour with Eric Clapton, and the only difference in our part of the show was that we did Only one hour instead of an hour and a half like we do when we're headlining. It dosen't matter who goes on in front of us, we play just as hard. What was working with Clapton like? .Well, I think going to see Eric Clapton is a whole lot like going to see Hank Williams if he was still alive. He's about as prominent in the rock side of music as Hank was in the country side.1 1 mean, he's got a lot of people who've been following him for years. And he's still a big star. It's good to see him playing so good again. He went out and bought a cowboy hat so -I think there's some hope for the boy. What kind of band did he travel with on that tour? A real good band. He had Carl Radle playing bass and Yvonne Elliman singing with him. It's an eight piece group all together. Getting back to your outfit, I think it is your music KAC Holds Registration and your humanity that win the crowds over. As far as last night goes, I thought there were too many people for the size of the hall, I had to drive too far to . get to it, I had to spend tqo much money on tickets. I had to park a long way away, it was too stuffy, and I though it was too loud, but I still had a good 'time because the music was so eood. Well, we're a loud band. We don't make no bones about that. We've consciously tried to hold our volume down. We weren't near as loud last night as we were in Boise the other night. (Mike Hess, who runs the sound for Tarwater, the group which opened the CDB show in Boise, was visiting in the Park City area a couple of weeks ago, and his ears were still ringing.) We were missing a drummer in Boise, and I think everyone was trying to make up for it. But we're a real loud band. It was rather warm in there last night. How was it for you guys on stage? .If I remember correctly, it was pretty warm. But that's a general thing when you get a bunch of people up next to the stage. You get a lot of body heat goin' for you. I'll tell you how I feel about it. I ; don't ever feel like we ever, no matter how hot it is, ever have it as bad as the people standing out front! : They're the ones I feel sorry for. I think people had to go to too much trouble to go to a concert. I think concert tickets are too high. I think records are too high. But there's nothing I can do about it. I can't as ! Gerald Ford says, curb inflation. I don't know how to go about it, but, that's what it is. I think people ought to be pampered to go to concerts. I think they're treated bad sometimes by security people. I'm not singling out the S?U Lake City concert by any means, because I think things went pretty smooth last night. But sometimes you have to park ana walk a mile and a nail. At this concert in Miami, there was one road in and it's way out in the swamps . It's an auditorium. There wasn't a parking lot and people had to park along the roads and then walk all the way in and out. I wish concerts could be done in a place where people could park close. I'd also like to see concert tickets standardized at $5. Then instead of paying $7.50 for, two concerts, you could go to three. It'd be helpful for the concert business. I'd like to see albums not ever sell for over $K T ltlrA if eaa tham call fn O . I think you could change the concert prices before ' - you could ever change the retail cost of an album. .Sure. There's too many corporations involved in that. It just goes back to the fact that, in my opinion anyway the people ought to have more control over those things that affect their lives" I wish there was something I could do about it all, but I can? t think of .what it would be. Just don't judge us by our promoters and the corporate structures which seemingly surround our music. The thought never crossed my mind, Charlie. I sure hope it's not too long before your next visit. Utah's CDB fans need a regular dose of you guys in concert. 111 hair nam GalCM WW Professional hair stying for i both men women 649-9501 L .;tV':,; JERRY FRKOVICH 8 v 88 1 444 fjP Join the Gala NEW YEAR'S EVE Party at potato Johns Free hats, noise makers, balloons, good music, all prices reduced.

"We want our classes to reflect the interests of the surrounding ' communities." : Last semestt ' most popular offerings, , photography and ceramics, , are expected to be favored once '' again. However, new 'additions to the winter ' schedule such as harmonica ' and guitar for beginners, are certain favorites as both will offer jam session type 'classes. f In the fiber area, a Sat. afternoon class in quiltmak- ing has been slated that calls 'for students making their own quilting frames as well . as learning several quilting processes. Student requests have left their mark in other class .offerings, as stained glass making, introduction to crafts and printmaking are all scheduled for the first time this winter. From a class in T'ai Chi, which is Chinese yoga', to the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the Kimball Art Center winter class schedule or children and adults is expected to be well received. "All in all, we're extremely pleased with the additions we've made to our iriiiional artistic curriculum,'' said the ' Director. "Winter quarter will be the second quarter we've held classes, and if the 'response is anything like what we received last fall, well have a successful school year." ; ' .
