After all, Edwards, a self-described gentleman farmer who spent a good deal of the 70s living with his family in the relative seclusion seclu-sion of the wilds of Nova Scotia, recently told an interviewer "I love to do some gardening and woodcutting wood-cutting and walking around with kids. I'm a woods guy. I love to run around the hills and forest." A rustic balladeer perfect per-fect for Park City. Although Edwards may relish the subtle charms of a "backwoods existence, he has seen tne Dnght lights of the big city in his day. About 10 years ago, riding high on his million-selling hit "Sunshine (Go Away Today)," Edwards Ed-wards was basking in the glow of the lights of Broadway. Broad-way. To some extent, Edwards' early '70s fame was simply a matter of being the right guy in the right place at the right time. Specifically, Edwards a mellow folkie and vaguely rural balladeer specializing in emotional honesty and tender sentiments was one of the beneficiaries of the brief domination of popular music by the singer-songwriter ilk (James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Cat Stevens, Jackson Browne, et al.) Edwards, although a minor light in that genre, was nonetheless an important cog in the movement. move-ment. His wistful, breezy, "Sunshine" "Sun-shine" propelled with extreme ex-treme effectiveness by little more than his insistent acoustic guitar strumming was a major national hit and a staple of AM radio formats for months. Unfortunately for Edwards, Ed-wards, however, in the '70s folkie ballads soon slipped drastically in popularity and a follow-up hit to "Sunshine" never emergetir'To "Edwards' "Ed-wards' credit, though, even though musical trends left him high and dry in terms of mass audience acceptance, he stuck by his musical guns throughout the lean years. "Having a hit single," Edwards has observed, "can Utah Symphony Irish Night returns Monday The Utah Symphony's annual an-nual Irish Night returns under un-der the baton of Harold Gott-fredson Gott-fredson March 14, complete with orchestral works both traditional and contemporary, contem-porary, the McTeggart Irish Dancers, and favorite Irish songs performed by the Shamrock Singers. The concert con-cert will begin at 8 p.m. in Symphony Hall. The orchestra will open the concert with the national anthems of the United States and Ireland, Bolger's "Sars-field's "Sars-field's the Man" (Irish march), and "The Coulin" by Casey. The McTeggart Irish Dancers will then join AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CUISINE Monday-Friday 11:30-2:30 5:00-10:00 Weekends 12:00-10:00 put you into an area by itself, a pop vein where things happen so quickly that if you're not careful, you can see yourself walking around with a microphone in your hand like some singer in Las Vegas. It's a money-oriented, money-oriented, totally commercial Top 40 scene." It is, needless to say, a scene which Edwards avoids whenever possible. So as disco, punk, New Wave and countless other trentft have tome 'and gone," Jonathan Edwards has resolutely reso-lutely remained a hard-core folkie balladeer right to the present. Not that he couldn't rock or sing a mournful blues now and then. But by and large, Edwards has stuck to doing what he knows best- the orchestra for an exciting display of reels, jigs and hornpipes in both soft- and hard-shoe, followed by the orchestra's rendition of Bodley's "Johnny Dubh." The Shamrock Singers will perform "Galway Bay," "Mountain Dew" and "The Orange and the Green," and the orchestra will play O'Riada's "Mise Eire," to round out the first half of the concert. After intermission Gott-fredson Gott-fredson will conduct the Utah Symphony in Victory's "Gaelic Gallop" prior to another exhibition by the McTeggart Dancers.

His dedication and craftsmanship crafts-manship over the course of years of touring clubs and college campuses has earned Edwards a loyal cult following. follow-ing. His numerous albums-including albums-including "Jonathan Edwards," Ed-wards," "Honky Tonk Stardust Star-dust Cowboy," "Have a Good Time For Me," "Lucky Day," "Rockin' Chair," and "Sailboat" have amply displayed dis-played his dedication to his "chosen musical genre but at the same time have evidenced evi-denced a willingness to grow and stretch horizons as an artist. "My attitude is, 'Hey, I love my old stuff,'" says Edwards, "stuff like 'Sometimes 'Some-times in the Morning,' chestra will then play "Skibereen," and the singers will follow with three traditional Irish favorites: "Danny Boy," "The Kerry Dances," and "When Irish Eyes are Smiling."
