Kershaw to fiddle cajun-style y Friday Town Hall will present the Rajin’ Cajun Doug Kershaw Friday night at 8 p.m. in G. Rollie White Col iseum. Kershaw, this year s second Town Hall presentation, will give Aggies a taste of his world-famous showman ship and stage antics. He performs his songs with a unique style of fid dle playing and cajun singing not found on the concert tour. A performer since 8, Kershaw has played his fiddle from the Hol lywood Bowl to Madison Square Gardens. The Boston Symphony has honored his musical genius with a guest artist performance. Witnesses of his previous con certs have likened Kershaw’s play ing style to an angry alligator, slap ping his imiginary tail as he saws away on his fiddle. Popular songs originated by cajun Kershaw are Louisiana Man, a. 3Vi million record seller in 1961 and Diggy Diggy Lo. Since “Louisiana” Doug has had many popular hits and entertained many thousand faithful fans. The 36-year-old artist works out of Nashville, the Country-Western capital of the U.S. Kershaw enjoys the easy surroundings of Nashville. He said he’s as comfortable in New York as a bullfrog in a crystal bal lroom. In the course of a concert the Louisiana singer ha^ transferred his audiences to a frenzy as his fiddle playing turns into an excited frenzy. Kershaw has analyzed his style in the following words, “Anything I write or sing on stage, I do in cajun music because I am a cajun, but being an American cajun I have the influence of a lot of other things. ” you yone pocket ; home, ides Council wants more fine arts programs By BARBARA WEST Staff Writer The need for more programs in fine arts was expressed Wednesday at the first meeting of the Dean of Women’s Council.
