By Shane Hall Reviewer E A standing-room only crowd was on hand Friday night at Eastgate ‘ Live to bid farewell to College Sta- tion's Four Hams on Rye as the rock band gave its last local performance. The band’s final show together was Saturday night in Houston. The band hit the stage at about 9:30 p.m., launching into a song and offer; 1 fromtheir rockabilly repertoire, Ed- |e Cochran’s “Summertime Blues.” he song set the tone for the re- tinderof the show — the vocal tal ents of frontman Scott Oldner were in top form and guitarist Dru Wilson laid down scorching lead guitar lines iccompanied by the powerhouse piythin section of bassist Eric Kline Kid drummer Jeff Zwolinski. ■ “Summertime Blues” was fol lowed immediately by “Burn This lace to the Ground” as the band Continued to rock with an energy that threatened to raise the roof. I The dance floor, literally flooded |ith people since the opening num- “ber, remained packed as audience embers danced energetically to the band’s mix of raucous rockabilly and laid rock power. Slowing down the tempo momen- rily, Wilson played the opening Jotes to “Honky Tonk Woman” in- loducing the band’s rendition of flit Rolling Stones classic. Some red-hot Texas rhythm and blues was later given a rousing treat- jnent as the band did a house-rock- mg version of the Fabulous Thun- |erbirds’ “I Can’t Tear It Up Entiff.” Oldner, who played rhythm gui- | tar on most of the songs, is a talented jnger who knows how to put on a Blow.

TaW McDontt <nly public 'hat's Up is marenfl t run. If ft nes Yet no member shines so much as guitarist Dru Wilson. He is truly a versatile guitar player, able to swing from straight ahead rock to heavy metal solos full of six-string brilliance. Wilson best demonstrated his abil ity on his powerful version of the Jimi Hendrix classic, “Voodoo Chile.” Taking over the vocal chores on this song, Wilson proved to be an able vocalist, but his guitar playing spoke in tongues as he blazed tnrough a guitar solo in true psyche delic fashion, even delving momen tarily into the opening notes of “Purple Haze.” Wilson then had guitar enthu siasts in the audience cheering thun derously as he played with the guitar slung behind his head and then plucking the strings with his teeth. Smoke then rose from the smoke machines onstage, obscuring the band from sight as the first set ended. After a short intermission, the band took to the stage again and the music roared. The band’s energy never let up for a moment. They were clearly giving 125 per cent the entire night and the music continued to sound great. Especially enjoyable was a foray into honky-tonk rock ’n’ roll as Old ner led the band through Hank Wil liams’ “Hey Good Lookin’.” Oldner then did his best Bruce Springsteen in a rendition of “Fire,” to which the audience response would have made some think the Boss himself was onstage. Oldner shared a few words of wis dom with the audience at one point in the show as he attacked not only conformity but those who conform to others’ non-conformity. “Do something because you want to,” Oldner advised the crowd em phatically. Four Hams on Rye’s far ewell per- forrhance was a good time for all, but unfortunately, the closing chap ter in the four-year history of a band that has long been one of the most popular in Bryan-College Station.

Carreathers was the first speaker at the program, “Gaining the Com- letitive Edge,” which was held to :ommemorate Black History Month. He opened with a brief reflection on Jack history. “No other group of people have a greater or richer heritage than blacks,” Carreathers said. “When we hear Michael Jackson’s latest song, “Man in the Mirror,” and we look in the mirror, whose reflections do we see? We see the history of great black people.” Carreathers talked of many fa mous black people who have made a contribution in history — such as Booker T. Washington and Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. Laverne H. Young, assistant professor in industrial education at A&M, said today’s young black peo ple should believe irf their power to direct their own lives. Young said young black people are richly de serving of a life filled with peace and an abundance of great things. Dr. Marilyn Kern-Foxworth, asso ciate professor of journalism at A&M, said that black people should be concerned with gaining a “com petitive edge.” “Today it is imperative that we pool all of our resources,” Kern-Fox- worth said. “We must stand together so that we won’t perish separately.” Kern-Foxworth said the world has monumental problems, and that black people must deal with the two R’s — racism and realism. “Despite the obstacles, we are still able to have a rich history that is worth telling again and again,” she said. Kern-Foxworth said she came with the intentions of getting the au dience to think about the problems of black Americans. “Education is the primary vehicle for eradicating the sexism and vio lence from our society,” she said. The program also featured per formances by Statewide Christian Youth and Pleasant Grove Youth choirs, and an instrumental solo. The Rev. Samuel Hill gave closing remarks. “A good story can be told over and over,” Hill said. “There is no be ginning and end, because our his tory is still going on. Our history will not fit in one month, there is too much to be told.” "NO DIET EVER TOOK ME FROM 174 LBS. TO 141 LBS."
