Cooper molds diversity
into hits in marathon set
for Front Porch Cafe
By ROB NEWBERRY
■‘Hopefully, you can expect diver
sity tonight," Dana Cooper said. ‘Til
play lots of stuff off the new tape,
some stuff that Shake and I did. and
even throw in some of the country
songs that I've done."
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.
