Lest there be doubt, Rodriguez emphasizes that his stage shows are not aduits-onl- y affairs Over Memorial Day weekend, for instance, he played to family audiences at the Six Flags Over Mid America theme park m St Louis as part of a package that also included Tom T. Hall and Charlie Rich He confesses he was naive to agree to a part In the film, but his naivete should hardly be surprising It has been only three years, after all, since he left his native Sabinal, Tex (pop. 1,8'0) and started the uninterrupted string of top 10 country records that made him tne first of todays two great Mexican-Amenca- n country music stars The second, Freddy Fender, followed Rodriguez to prominence last year Mexican-America- n people needed heroes, Rod nguez observes Theyd always listened to country music, but they wanted somebody of their own race, or whatever you want to call it, to pull for. I think this had a lot to do with our success, Ftiddy and me One of nine children of a welder w ho w orked in Sa n Antonio, 60 miles from Sabinal, Rodriguez grew up listening to every kind of music the Beatles, the Byrds, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams Having heard country music all his life, he didnt really begin to relate to it, he says, until his brother Andy begged him to listen closely to its words and stones Beer Party About the time he graduated from high school, Rodnguez experienced what is now the best known anecdote of his career He and some friends, all under the legal age of 21, decided to throw a beer party one afternoon They had enough money for the beer, he recalls, but none left over for beer-drinkm- g food So we went up into the country and stole three he says. Their little barbecue was busted up by the arrn al of some sheriffs deputies Although 15 or 20 youths were Involved, Rodnguez accepted sole blame for the thefts. Asked why, he laughs Just stupid, I guess, he says Well, actually I figured I wouldnt be punished any more for doing the whole thing than I would for just being part of it. So I figured, why stick everybody?" But the arrest was apparently made m heaven, or some other good place His jailirg quickly produced a friendly patron on the outside who admired his singing Rodnguez wound up with a job at a Texas tounst attraction called Alamo Village. At Alamo Village he did everything from driving stagecoaches and singing for 15 minutes five times a day, to cleaning restrooms, he recalls Then one Tom T. Hall and Bobby Bare showed up on a vacation, and Hall was so unpressed with Rodnguez that he offered him a job in his band We were drinking a few beers by then, though," I Rodnguez remembers "You krow how that goes forgot about it " He remembered it later on. however, and fortunately, so did Hall Rodriguez eventually saved enough money for a plane ticket to Nashville With it and an extra IS, he left Texas for the first time in his life, taking three shirts, a couple of pairs of pants and his guitar Hall not only gave him a job, he took him to Mercury Records, where Rodnguez was signed to a recording contract after singing two songs At 24, a country superstar, he still has goals, he says For instance, he would like to have his own publishing company when his contract to Hall s expires And he would Lke to take drama lessons, so that someday he might seek a major motion picture role Recently, Rodnguez was married to an airline stewardess from Conyers, Ga , whom he met six years ago when she visited Alamo Village on vacation goats, of in five annual Local fiddlers composition contest separate and bluegrass and folk must c ians are inv ited to enter I4lry on the Art and Architecture Auditorium of Utah campus will be the setting Csdav at 8pm for a senior piano recital by Jaa Jensen.'

Old Time Fiddlers V x Corner . v , By Lisa Robinson We originally planned to perform material on this tour," said Yes lead singer Jon Anderson But we realized that the best thing to do was to play Yes music. Even though all of us have done solo albums, the band is more important. Its our home base So we reorganized the show to do a Yes set (Yes will perform July 27 in the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City ) The Yes set includes much their earlier and more Accessible" material Songs like Heart of the Sunrise, Yours Is No Disgrace, and Roundabout Sweet Dreams make for a livelier show than when the band played the entire Tales From Topographic Oceans LP.
