I "" 71 f i During the week, the Lamplighter doubles as the Art Network gallery. photo by Nan Chalat Lamplighter offers showcase for performing artists by Jeff Howrey If you'd like to step out and hear some live music on a Friday or Saturday night but don't want to battle the bar scene, perhaps you should drop in at the Lamplighter at 524 Main St. (It's the Art Network building the old library the rest of the week.) The tunes are low-keyed, acoustic material. The performers are friendly friend-ly and eager to please. The atmosphere is casual and straight. Coffees, teas, hot chocolate choco-late are available. Liquor is not. The Lamplighter is a joint venture by the local churches who comprise the Ecumenical Council. Although Al-though it is a Christian coffeehouse, there is po preaching or overt religious overtones involved. According to local Baptist minister Benny Clark, "At the Lamplighter we don't lay heavily into religious aspects of the situation. Instead, our primary purpose is simply to provide an avenue for anyone any-one who wants to perform. In the same way that the Art Network gallery provides exposure for local artists, so does the Lamplighter provide pro-vide a place for local musicians to perform. "We emphasize laid-back music," continues Clark. "Ballads and folk music. We like to keep the music low-key so people coming in can conduct conversations if they want to or play checkers check-ers and backgammon." Among those who have performed at the Lamplighter Lamp-lighter since it opened Jan. 22 have been John and Barbara Abbott, a husband wife team from Logan who play acoustic guitars and sing; Michael Candleria, a pianist and vocalist from Salt Lake City; and Provo atmosphere where people can do just that. It's really neat." Among those locals who have performed at the Lamplighter is none other than the Egyptian "Theatre's Don Gomes who offered up some tasty balladry one weekend. So far, says Clark, community com-munity response to the Lamplighter has been "pretty good." He credits the emergence of the Lamplighter to an reasons there's no preaching at the Lamplighter. We just try to be laid back. If you get into preaching, you inevitably inevitab-ly start touching on doctrinal differences between the various churches involved. "We feel like it's very important to maintain a spirit of cooperativeness in the Ecumenical Council," continues Clark. "As Christians, Christ-ians, we have too many things in common to be bickering among ourselves all the time. Each of the nvery ween, we iiuvt, jjeujjic ju&i in off the street and play. We're trying to create an atmosphere where people can do just that. 9 9 Benny Clark native Alan Comer who strums acoustic guitar and sings contemporary pop material by the likes of Cat Stevens and Paul Simon. Clark notes that local musicians are welcome to drop in any Friday and Saturday night at the Lamplighter Lamp-lighter with their instrumentseventually, instru-mentseventually, they'll get their chance to play. "Every week we have people just walk in off the street and play," he says. "We're trying to create an emerging spirit of cooperation coopera-tion among local churches. "The combined efforts of the eight churches in the Ecumenical council are responsible re-sponsible for the Lamplighter," Lamp-lighter," he says. "All the churches in the city are cooperating. We've just been trying to figure out projects we can undertake together. The Lamplighter grew out of that spirit of cooperativeness. cooperative-ness. "Because all the churches are cooperating is one of the churches involved, of course, wants to maintain its traditions tradi-tions and practices. But we'll find areas in which we can work together and we'll go from there." Besides the Lamplighter, another area of common ground for the Ecumenical Council is a recently-instituted traveler's aid fund, paid for by the Council and administered by the police department. Clark says that the purpose of the fund is to provide emergency assis tance for travelers in dire straits. Motorists and other passers-through who legitimately legit-imately need such assistance for food or gasoline and who contact the police chief will be given aid. Clark says the recently-instituted fund is being partly financed by donations received at a Thanksgiving dinner sponsored spon-sored by the Ecumenical Council last November. "The Thanksgiving dinner, din-ner, the traveler's aid fund and the Lamplighter are the evidence of the growing spirit of cooperation and commitment on the part of the Council," says Clark, who traces the renewed spirit to the summer of 1982. At that time, according to Clark, two lay persons-Judy persons-Judy Erickson and Dane Robinson were the prime movers ' behind getting the council involved in more joint ventures. "Judy and Dane thought there was a real need to bring together the local churches in cooperative ventures," ven-tures," explains Clark. "We expect even more such cooperation co-operation in the future. We've already got a joint Easter sunrise service planned." Clark says the Council will keep the Lamplighter going until at least April.
