Musician s spell
conjures Aggies
By SCOTT PENDLETON
Battalion Staff
There are two reasons not to
applaud a musician.
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.

I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT...
I'M LEARNING TO FLY!
“I’m learning to fly because my business right now
is to accumulate all the skills that will help me later
on. I think that flying is the way most people in the
future will travel and I want to be ready. Besides all
that, it’s a great way to see the world from a new
point-of-view.”

and you’ll actually fly the airplane yourself at...

When designing political advertising, the candidates should address IL /()S q (H11
both the voters and the issues if the ads are to be successful, said local ■ canc licl;
political consultant Joe Baser. ’UNpaign c
Buser spoke Saturday at a League of Women Voters forum on ■ en( jj ture
political campaigns. 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.
