Salazar — like several other members of the band — showed versatility by playing keyboards, bass, guitar, alto sax and flute. Rusty Miller, lead guitarist, lacked the showmanship of Butts and Salazar but played a good lead with occasional bursts of inspiration. Don Pope, Spectrum’s newest member, played alto, soprano and tenor saxes as well as the flute. While his musical per formance was enthusiastically flawless, he looked lost when not playing — which was much of the time. The band mostly played copy material but did perform a few original songs. B.B. King’s “How Blue Can You Get?” was one notable num ber. Pope and Miller highlight ed the song with exceptional leads on sax and guitar. Of the original material, “No Batteries” — which was written and Sung by Butts — was a standout. HUMBLE HOMETOWN CLUB FIRST MEETING TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9 7 P.M.
