Crowd enjoys

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. Bassist Kline and drummer
Zwolinski hold the songs together
fith their dynamic rhythm work.

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.
T hey will most certainly be missed.

Reporter
The heritage of American black
leople can help them achieve a pros-
xerous future for themselves, Kevin
larreathers, Texas A&M Multicul-
[ural Services Center coordinator,
jaid Saturday at the Lincoln Recre
ation Center in College Station.
“The key to our future is the
neatness of our past,” Carreathers
[aid.
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.”
