Cooper, a longtime singer-song- writer-guitarist, played an all-acous tic set for more thatn three hours at a tape release party Saturday night at the Front Porch Cafe. With an au dience of almost 50, Cooper rolled through selected numbers from his 20-year career. Cooper has been performing since the late '60s. In 1973, he re leased a solo album on Elektra out of Los Angeles. He worked on seseral independent projects around Texas through the seyemies and eighties, including his band DCS, later changed to Nuclear Family. Most of his fame now comes from his last few solo releases and his work with Shake Russell in 1978-82. Fixing in Xashxille, Cooper tries to make it to T exas for a tour exery three months. He likes the audience in College Station because they seem to be the most enthusiastic. During his set, Cooper played a lot of numbers from his new tape, Somethin's Gottn Give, released about two weeks ago. The album has ten songs done with his band in Nashxille, but Cooper's own guitar and x ocals are mixed louder to stand out. From the new album. Cooper played "Flower in a Rocky Land," an intense song about the difficulty of keeping loxe alixe. He also rolled through the title track, as well as "I Just Wanna Be Different," lament ing the difficulties of a young man trying to find an identity: "I just wanna be different, Like exerybody else, I’x e got to find mx self.” Cooper’s style draws heaxily from folk, with a lot of bluesy rock and country thrown in. As a guitarist, he is i ncred ible--moy i n g quickly through rhythm chords, but still hit ting the lead licks with precision. His stx le. performing bx him«elf xvith an acoustic guitar, lends itself to gut- wrenching songs about personal ex periences, and most of his tunes hax e a lot of soul behind them. From the 1988 release Compli cated Stuff, Cooper played through "Sometimes Pretending" and “Man- daddx" with all the feeling those songs' lyrics need. But he also rocked through the upbeat "Great Day in the Morning” with the audi ence helping him out on the chorus. Cooper also threw in "The Beat of Mx Desperate Heart" and “All or Nothing" from the nexx' release, as \xell as "Complicated Stuff' and "King of Fools.” As the second half of his set began, he played a fexv au dience requests, like "Sax It Isn't So" and "We Can Still Be Happx” from his days with Nuclear Family. On a more humorous note. Coo per dedicated "The Menace" to those in the audience who knexx- about Houston traffic problems. He also played 'Hamburger People" by request, a song about people caught up in the fast lane. Cooper heads back to Nashxille after another shoxx on tonight in H ouston. He say s that he really pre fers traxeling to being at home, so he’ll be back soon. "1 get real stir crazy sitting around at home. Nashxille has its benefits, but it can be xery frustrating," Coo per said. "I also get a lot of my ideas for songs while I'm on the road," he said, "although bx now. I try not to think about writing too much. The times I do think about it are usually the times I close up and get a block." Cooper's shoxx at the Front Porch is one of the best solo folk rock per formances I’xe seen. He adds har monica and great lead parts to his tunes wherexer they're needed, but always keeps the ly rics in the f ront of the song, because that's where his emotion lies. And those lyrics haxe a lot of emotion. Cooper and Shake RusSell haxe a date scheduled together at the Front Porch on December 10. Keeping the faith Graduate’s sermon reaches past pulpit By HELEN WOLFE "It's a good xxax to be graded... on your sermon." For Texas A&M graduate Dr. Frank Pollard, Class of ‘55, the grade xvas a rexvard from the third annual Best Sermons competition. His sermon, "Keep the Faith...Any- hoxv!," won an honorable mention out of more than 2,000 entries. The competition was sponsored by HarperSanFrancisco, a dixision of Harper & Row Publishers, Inc. A panel of sex en experts on preaching selected six 1st place winners ancl eighteen honorable mention xvin- ners. The sermons are classified into six doctrinal-theological, ethical, pasto ral and dexotional. Pollard won an honorable mention in the expository (explanatory) category. His sermon describes hoxx’ Timothy kept his faith in God in spite of his imprisonment and his unfaithful friends, As the pastor of First Baptist Church in Jackson, Miss., Pollard says he makes time to answer inx na tions to speak to university students. "I’m 56 years old, so I’m glad to speak to students,” he said. "I suppose they’re hearing what I say,” he said, citing the number of students who attend his speeches. He thinks that today’s students are searching for the same things stu dents searched for when he at tended A&M. While a student at A&M, Pollard xvas a member of the Corps of Ca dets, president of the Baptist Stu dent Union and a member of the baseball team. ”1 vx'as on the team but I didn’t get to play,” he said. His most recent return to A&M was during a regional baseball game last season. Frank Pollard HELP!
