Tau Kappa Epsilon frater nity sponsored the band, which played its unique blend of west ern swing and “big-city” country music, at a Bonfire Bash from 8 p.m. to midnight. The band peeled out from the starting line with a rowdy, foot-stompin’ number called “Miles and Miles of Texas.” Fid dler Paul Anastasio kept his nimble fingers flying as a full house clapped in appreciation. Pulling away down the stretch, the band followed with “Route 66,” a boogie-woogie piano number featuring Faulk ner (Boogie-woogie Bob — have you ever tried to say Faulkner on stage) Evans on an upright piano. The next lap featured “I’m Gonna be a Wheel Someday” as lead singer and guitarist Ray Benson crooned and coaxed the crowd. “You Don’t Know Me” was sung next by the band’s female singer Jann Brown. Brown, a petite blonde with little girl looks, was big enough to belt out a wailing, sultry rendition of the Mickey Gilley song. Mike Francis on saxophone and Tom Anastasio on bass violin and bass guitar were in tense and on the right track. Rounding the curve, the band played “Sugarfoot Rag” — a very energetic polka that was so hot it practically burned rubber. A Grizzly Adams-look-alike, Benson co-authored many of the songs including one done by audience request — “The Letter That Johnny Walker Read.” The group’s sound is ajazzed- up version of western swing that goes a step beyond Bob Wills and includes frequent in strumentals. The band plays their versions of several songs by Bob Wills and the Texas Play boys. Testimony to their unique sound is the fact that this coun try band has a saxophone and a bass in addition to the tradition al steel guitar. Wally Murphy stroked the steel guitar as the band pulled in for a pit stop with “Midnight in Memphis.” “We’re Texas’ answer to the Richard Simmons show,” said songwriter Benson, as he clowned around on stage. “If you can dance to it, we play it,” he said, as the band cruised to a finish. staff photo by Irene Mces -7j_ 'J mr . ’ 846-3785 3S01 g„a.
