Former A&M students music
like 'homecoming' for crowd
By Karl Pallmeyer
Music Critic
When Lyle Lovett finished his
show at Rudder Theater Thursday
night, the audience left with the
warm feeling usually associated with
a homecoming.
About 350 people turned out to
see the show benefiting MSC Town
Hall and the Texas A&M chapter of
the American Institute of Architec
ture Students. The audience consis
ted of Lovett’s fans, friends, former
teachers and students from his A&M
days. He took the time to thank his
friends and even had some of them
on stage to play and sing.
Robert Keen, Jr. opened the show
with “This Old Porch,” a song he
and Lovett wrote about the times
they spent on the porch of Keen’s
house behind Northgate. Keen told
some jokes and sang songs about
dipping snuff and running over ar
madillos.
Lovett and his band — guitarist
Ray Herndon, drummer James
Gilmer, bassist Matt McKenzie, cel
list John Hagen and pianist Matt
Rollings — took the stage. Lovett’s
friend Cole Harrison joined the
band on steel guitar occasionally
throughout the night.
The audience members re
sponded to the songs from Lovett’s
album, “Farther Down the Line,”
“God Will,” “Cowboy Man” and the
others, as well as several songs which
haven’t been released yet.
Lovett invited Ken Appelt and
Kevin Duff, members of a band that
used to play at Grins (now Morgens-
terns) when Lovett was starting out.
Appelt sang and Duff played guitar
on a few songs. For the encore, Ap
pelt, Duff, Keen, Harrison and the
rest of Lovett’s band huddled up
and sang, mostly ad-libbed lyrics
about how they didn’t know the song
and were ready to go get a beer.

Committee will study tax system in Texas
AUSTIN (AP) — No subject, not
even a state income tax, will be off-
limits for study by the blue-ribbon
committee that will examine Texas’
tax system, Gov. Bill Clements said
Thursday.
But which committee recommen
dations might finally become law is
another story, the governor said.
“It was agreed that we should in
no way restrain what their recom
mendations might be,” Clements
said. “Now whether . . . they would
be accepted and whether anyone (in
the Legislature) would move for
ward with such a provison, who
knows? But certainly they should not
be under any constraints.”
The 13-member Select Commit
tee on lax Equity was named
Wednesday, with members ap
pointed by Clements, House
Speaker Gib Lewis and Lt. Gov8;
Hobby.
The panel that includes laraai
ers, businessmen and state Comf
troller Bob Bullock will exaniintik
tax structure and offer recomitit
dations to make certain the tax bn
den is shared fairly bv all Texans
