You dislike his performance or you are so captivated that you don’t want to break the spell his music creates. Eric Taylor treated Basement CofFehouse audiences Friday and Saturday night to the rare second circumstance. Not that people Review didn’t applaud. They did, with con siderable enthusiasm. But not after a brief moment of wistful hesitation. Eric Taylor is an epic storyteller. His narratives are the kind that our forefathers listened to around campfires, the kind that made up our history before there was “his tory.” Through his songs, Taylor intro duces audiences to his acquain- tences and neigh boors. Meet Bon nie and Avery Wilder. Bonnie was a taxi dancer during World War II. She would dance with sailors and soldiers for a nickel. Avery, her husband, was a cornet player in the band that played at the same dance hall. Charlie Raymond White was a family friend whom Taylor lost track of when his family moved from Greenville, S.C., to Georgia. Taylor tells how he tries to look up Charlie more than 10 years later. He finally traces Charlie to a rust ing chrome trailer in a trailer park where “there must have been 50 bottles filling sacks beside the door.’’ But Charlie isn’t there; Taylor learns that the old man died just one week before. Merely telling Taylor’s stories can’t convey their impact. His music must first brush away reality so that his words can paint their images in the audience’s mind. Taylor is pleasing enough alone. He was even better when accom panied by Nancy Griffith, an ac complished performer in her own right, and John Gramaudo, an out standing blues singer and guitarist. Perhaps no one had as good a time as Taylor himself. He ex pressed both his pleasure and sur prise at the audience’s warmth, especially since he had been warned not to play here by “A&M drop outs.’’ “They told me ‘Don’t go up there. The people have hair on their backs,” he said. Taylor strikes a very primal chord in his listeners. He doesn’t com mand attention; he doesn’t have to. Td call him the E.F. Hutton of the music world if the comparison didn’t sound like ridicule. But the fact is inescapable: when Eric Taylor plays, people listen.

H n fj[ e( i He explained that “in politics, there are three stances you might,roper autl take: a personality race where politics don’t really matter — y° u ta h e Rdidate m turns being in office; constituency politics where you put your hat in must s q the ring on behalf of others like you, and issue politics — where yon Kandidatf find out what a great number of people want to be told and then tell cor them. . Ne contri Most candidates would prefer not to address issues because the; e durt S , Da: can be divisive, Buser said. “Some may not express an opinion be-Bhe first cause they’re afraid of losing a vote or two. ” han 30 day If the candidate does not take a stand, Buser said, personality or hi period constituency politics would come into play. - I of the c He advises candidates, especially in advertising, “to champion a gi).|(j on an cause that will identify with the people. e40th day “There’s not much point in writing ads if you don’t have any say. You should decide early in the campaign what your position will be,” he said. “The message you put out should identify the candidate as being part of a group that has some common characteristic. But in issue politics, you can go to the people with or without constituency notice,” said Buser. “You can run on ready recall. Make sure that people like you know your name and that you are running for office.” “We still have those in Brazos County who think you shouldnl mention your opponent’s name in the ad,” he said. To be most effective, decide whether radio, television or news paper would be the best vehicle for the message and then analyze the audience, Buser said. “Media usefulness is related to whom you are trying to reach. For instance, if I wanted to reach the university faculty, I would most likely advertise in the student newspaper,” he said. The media are usually fair in selling political advertising space “because they are probably less interested in partisianship than they would lead you to believe,” Buser said. Electronic media are subject to Federal Communications Commis sion law. They must give equal access to every political candidate desiring to buy time, he said. The print media generally grant the same privilege although they are not required to by law, he added. Free public relations from the media are usually not possible un less the candidate can come up with an angle that reporters could also cover as a news story, Buser said, such as giving rides in a hotair balloon. Buser also stressed that a candidate can overuse the media. “Sometimes they use the media more than is effective. After you ve established the candidate, those last 10 ads probably aren t going to add any votes.” He suggested that the candidate then use “one-on-one” tactics. y MS Wa ATTENTION ALL 1979 WHO’S WHO APPOINTEES: Individual photos for the Who’s Who section of the 1979 Aggieland will be taken beginning Monday, February 5.
