The music is played on the mandolin, fiddle, concertina, tin whistle, guitar, melodeon and banjo. The Deseret String Band has performed in many places, including the National Folk Festival at Wolf Trap Farm Park in Washington D.C., the All-Ireland All-Ireland Folk Festival, Stanford Stan-ford University's American Folk Music Festival, the San Diego Folk Festival, the Folk Festival of the American West, the Radio Swiss Romande Folk Festival and the Utah Bicentennial Bicen-tennial Festival in the Parks. An article in Utah Holiday Magazine described the band's appearance at the National Folk Festival: "Their blend of old-time music and down home Utah made them one of the few performers to get an encore As one listener remarked, 'I've heard some of the best, and they're right at the top.'" The band consists of musicians Hal Cannon, Leonard Coulson, Stephen Jardine and Mark Jardine. Each of the musicians plays at least two instruments. Hall Cannon, born and raised in Salt Lake City, was one of the major influences in the beginnings of The Deseret String Band. After graduating from the University Univer-sity of Utah with a degree in journalism, Cannon went to graduate school at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence. Cannon has been playing traditional music since he was 11 years old. He is now the Folk Arts coordinator for the Utah Tnwfia Test 1 wyr-a( CI v- Jim Kennicott Takes one to know one If you ask a trivia question about an attorney, who's going to know the answer? Another attorney, attor-ney, that's who! , Park City solicitor Jim Kennicott proved it by winning last week's quiz. For this prodigious feat, the jury awarded him the sum of one (1) free sandwich from the Main Street Deli. Our first question was about the famous '60s lawyer who played a villainous alien on the TV show "Star Trek." Kennicott knew the part was played by Melvin Belli. (Incidentally, the character was named "Gorgon, the Friendly Angel.") Kennicott also knew that the new principal of Parley's Park Elementary was Linda Singer; and that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Moriarty died in a story by falling into the gorge of a waterfall while fighting each other. It just goes to prove that even a great legal mind has room for trivial information. However, we like to think of our department as The People's Court, and the next winner could indeed be you! If you have the answers to the Newspaper office at 419 Main Street, before Tuesday noon. 1. What does Fred Flinstone say when he's happy? 2.

Arts Council. Cannon represented repre-sented utah in the American Folk Life Festival of the Smithsonian Institute, and has worked since as a consultant con-sultant to the Smithsonian. Leonard Coulson, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin claims to have first become interested in traditional music at the age of eight when a great aunt gave him a music book. Coulson's musical talent and craftsmanship crafts-manship as a maker and repairer of banjos began after af-ter he graduated from Brown University in Rhode Island. While in Rhode Island he met other members mem-bers of the Deseret String Band and they began to play together. Coulson has since moved to the West. Mark Jardine, also born and raised in Salt Lake City, attends the University of Utah. Jardine has done extensive ex-tensive studies of the in-tracacies in-tracacies of folk fiddle styles. He has also performed perform-ed with "The Jordan River Uptown Band," a '30s jazz group. Jardine has performed perform-ed with his brother in a well-known local Irish folk group "Tenpenny." Stephen Jardine, Mark's brother, holds a masters degree in folk music from University College, Cork Island. Stephen now attends the University of Utah and is working towards an M.B.A. Stephen plays the English concertina.

After trying his darnedest to calmly explain his all important Bop theory of rock 'n' roll to you obstinate Bop-heads, Dr. Bop has decided enough is enough. No more letter bombs, please. Keep your hostility vibes to yourselves. You won't have Dr. Bop to kick around anymore. Because Dr. Bop is proud to announce a new era in his life. A new beginning. Dr. Bop has given up his caustic, obnoxious ways. No more sarcasm. No more irony. No more negative thinking. No more critical rampages. From now on, you Bop-heads are going to have to deal with the new Dr. Bop. The new D. Bqp wants to be your friend. The new Dr. Bop thinks you are right about everything. The new Dr. Bop will not criticize anyone. The new Dr. Bop is proud to be an American living in the lovely borough of Park City. The new Dr. Bop loves all God's creatures, large and small. A big influence in the drastic personality change which has metamorphosed caustic, crabby, gnarly old Dr. Bop into the charitable, compassionate, utterly sympathetic sympa-thetic and absolutely friendly new Dr. Bop has been the teachings of Dr. Bop's new main man Jesus. That's right, you Bop-heads, believe it or not, Dr. Bop has been reading his Bible. Reading the words and wisdom of Jesus has resulted in the new Dr. Bop. The new Dr. Bop thinks that Jesus was one excellent Bop-head. A totally bitchin' dude. Awesome guy. Dr. Bop's favorite Jesus parable is the one when those nasty old Pharisees came up to Jesus and tried to trick him. They said, "Hey Jesus, you say that government leaders are wicket tyrants so should we pay taxes? Is it God's will that we pay taxes?" Those crafty old Pharisees thought they were going to dupe Jesus into saying that everybody should break the law and not pay taxes. But Jesus was too much of the ultimate Bop-animal to ever get tricked by those rascals. So in response, Jesus picked up a coin, handed it to his inquisitors and turned the tables on them, answering with a question "Whose picture is on the coin?" They answered, "Caesar's." To which Jesus replied, of course, "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's." What a bitchin' comeback, eh? Dr. Bop's hat is perpetually doffed to the Big Bopper himself, good ol' Jesus, for having the presence of mind to constantly have the perfect retort on the tip of his tongue, even in the most sticky of situations. What a guy that crazy old Jesus was ! Which brings Dr. Bop to the point of this week's tirade. Dr. Bop knows in his heart that Jesus was right. We all should pay our taxes and render unto Caesar. Or render unto Reagan, as the case may be. Unfortunately, unf orseen financial circumstances circum-stances during the past fiscal year prevented the good Dr. from fully rendering unto Reagan last year. Accordingly, Dr. Bop has been running from the IRS since last April. Dr. Bop is afraid the IRS is closing in. Dr. Bop still doesn't have the money to pay his back taxes. Dr. Bop is worried that when the IRS finally shows up at the door of the Park City Newspaper demanding that Dr. Bop cough up what he owes and, believe the Dr., it's a hefty sum the IRS probably isn't going to believe that Dr. Bop is a changed man. A big bureaucratic institution like the IRS will probably prove to be entirely unsympathetic unsym-pathetic when Dr. Bop tries to convince that agency that he is no longer a tax-dodging, insidious grub but instead has become a reborn Bopper, a devotee of the Big Bopper himself, good ol' Jesus. Nope, such an argument is probably not going to convince the IRS that Dr. Bop shouldn't have to pay his back taxes. So Dr. Bop must turn to you, dear friends, to help him out of this boppin' big mess. Dr. Bop knows that you, dear friends, believe him completely when he tells you he is a changed man. A worthy comrade. A good neighbor. A Park City booster all the way. Dr. Bop asks you, dear friends, does such a man deserve to be harassed by the IRS over back taxes? Over a piddling sum which, in the larger scheme of things, surely doesn't amount to more than a microscopic drop in the federal budget bucket. Surely not. Dear friends, just think of how many Friday afternoons Dr. Bop will be able to entertain you from 3 to 5 p.m. over the airwaves via KPCW 91.9 FM if Dr. Bop is not forced to go to jail over this humiliating incident. So, dear friends, the new Dr. Bop is turning to you as his last resort. Dr. Bop is hereby formally announcing the start of the Help-Dr. Bop-Render-Unto-Reagan contest. All you've got to do to enter is to fill out a check in any amount (the larger the better) to pay to the order of Dr. Bop and send it to the Park City Newspaper. Cash will be accepted, too. The Help-Dr. Bop-Render-Unto-Reagan sweepstakes is a one of a kind opportunity. Everybody wins! How? Well, after studying Jesus' teachings intently, Dr. Bop has learned that it is better to give than to receive. A truly rewarding emotional experience results when you give of yourself to another. So, Dr. Bop wants you to give of your checkbook to Dr. Bop. The inner joy you feel will be recompensation enough. Therefore, no formal prizes will be awarded in the Help-Dr. Bop-Render-Unto-Reagan contest. So hurry up, you Bop-heads, and send all the money you can to the new Dr. Bop immediately. Help Dr. Bop. Help him soon. Moving on to matters more musical, it certainly warmed the cockles of Dr. Bop's heart to hear the reaction of the crowd at the Cowboy Bar last Saturday night when effusive Ventures' drummer Mel Taylor bellowed between songs, "Let's hear it for '60s music!" The place went nuts ! Dr. Bop takes full credit for the reaction. Obviously, all those Bop-head Ventures fans in attendance have been closely reading Dr. Bop's columns of recent weeks. A key underpinning of the Bop theory of rock 'n' roll is that '60s music is intrinsically better and more emotionally satisfying than the bulk of pompous, pretentious and utterly self conscious techno-rock which has been perpetrated on the public since the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Brian Jones checked into rock 'n' roll heaven. Dr. Bop was once again reminded of the current sorry state of rock 'n' roll last Monday night when none other than that swine-bag Kenny Rogers was given the annual award of merit on the televised American Music Awards show. Kenny Rogers is one of the most despicable musical parasites around. He symbolizes everything that is wrong with the corporate rock world. Kenny Rogers has been chasing musical trends for years, in the most mindlessly opportunistic manner possible. If the writers of Kenny Rogers' tombstone epitaph have a heart, they'll probably put his blatant greed and lack of artistic ethics in kind terms like, "Anything for a buck." Kenny Rogers, in a career almost unparalleled in pop annals for blatant insincerity, has worn a variety of musical hats, none of them convincingly. He started off in his hometown of Houston as a teenage pop balladeer. He was soon playing bass in a jazz trio. Next he popped up as a folkie in the New Christy Minstrels. Always searching desperately for a hit record (any hit record would do, it seems), Rogers finally made his mark, as, of all things, an acid rocker on the First Edition's initial hit, "Just Dropped In to See What Condition My Condition Was In." When the acid rock fad passed, Rogers briefly became a protest singer, taking on the mistreatment of Vietnam vets in "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town." He was soon relegated to Las Vegas lounge work, a fate Rogers hated. He reemerged in the late '70s as a country-pop crooner when Nashville moved to L.A. Fraud! That was what Dr. Bop screamed at the top of his Bop-lungs when that musical imposter, Kenny Rogers, smugly accepted his award on Monday night's show. Bring back the credibility and conscience which marked the best of '60s musicians, demands Dr. Bop. One final word on Monday night's AMA awards. Punky rocker John Cougar (of "Hurts So Good" and "Jack and Dianne" fame) deserves special mention for his awesome acceptance speech after being named Best Pop Performer of the Year. After receiving his trophy, hemming and hawing around, scratching his scruffy beard and managing to spit out a few obligatory kudos to his record company and manager, Cougar concluded his spiel with a lop-sided grin and the summation, "Hey, what can I say? I'm an idiot." Indeed. Aren't we all7 Cougar discovered the true meaning of rock n' roll. Which is, of course, rock 'n' roll is for the young. Or at least the young at heart. So don't get too grown up. |
