Vermeer Quartet will be in concert Tuesday at 8 p.m. at the Utah The popular Arlo brings back Alices Restaurant By Joe Quinlan Associated Press Writer Mass. Arlo WASHINGTON, Guthrie, 36 and graying, dabbles at housework these days and worries about his childrens schools. Like his listeners from the 1960s, the ballad-ee- r is gently aging. But the establishment cant rest hes started singing easy just yet Alices Restaurant again. The wry 1969 hit, an marathon of sene and humor, told of Guthrie being arrested for littering in Stockbridge, and subsequently being deemed unsuitable for military service because of his crime. It caught the fancy of a generation protesting the Vietnam War and established Guthrie as a performer independent of his famed folksinging father, Woody Guthrie. Some of my old mans music was like talking and plucking to tell a story in rhyme, he said. One of the great things for me was to adapt that to Alices Restaurant. Once I did hat, and it was accepted. I walked out of my fathers footsteps right away, Guthrie said. - 18'2-minu- te For several years, Guthrie pretty he Alices says people quit asking for it as but Vietnam War protests faded lately hes revived it in a version that deals with compulsory draft registration. The fourth of the audience that is young wants to hear Alices. Ive revised it with draft registration. It seems to have some value. It creates bridges between the generation of my peers and younger people, he much stopped singing said. I like creating bridges. Thats what I was brought up to believe folk music could do. Guthrie say., hed probably have reservations about registering if he were of draft age, but warns his new listeners that those who want to evade registration should consider the consequences. You ought not to not register unless youre willing to pay the price. Freedom has its price, he says. Guthrie, who helps out with household chores when he is home in the chusetts, left last week for the Pacific Northwest to join a Public Broadcasting Service crew filming a documentary on his father, who died in 1967. It is scheduled for broadcast next year. He has spent this year divided between filming and concert tours. His next tour begins next month in the Southeast. The question most people seem to ask me is What have you been doing for the last 10 years? Guthrie said. Im living a lot less visible lite. A lot of people dont know Im still working. He occasionally breaks away from his band Shenandoah to sing with Pete Sceger, 64, a contempoof Woody. He said he moved rary to this town 15 years ago because his instincts told him the community of 580 people would be a good place for a family. He lives with his wife, Jackie, three daughters, a son and four dogs in an airy hilltop home near tall pines and maples.
