Gary Delz’s mother started a ca
reer for her son before he even start
ed preschool.
“My mother bought me my first
drum when I was two,”Delz
said,“So I guess I’ve been playing
about...about...s—t, how old am I
anyway?" He pauses, spitting out
numbers under his breath. “I guess
it’s been almost 34 years.” His voice
reflects his amazement at the pas
sage of time.
His most noteworthy years came
with Delz’ tour with the yodeling
Don Walser. He
played on both
Waiser’s first al
bum and his
archive albums.
Delz gave up
his drumming job
for Walser for a bet
ter position be
hind the then
more popular Gary
R Nunn. Since
then Walser has al
most become a
legend in the
country music
counter culture.
Delz sounded
disappointed at
missing Waiser’s
once-in-a-lifetime
performance at last year’s Olympic
games.
“Almost as soon as I left Walser,
his career exploded,” Delz chuckles.
“Who knew?”
He gave up drumming for
Nunn over two years ago, mostly
to spend more time with his fami
ly and his two children, but also to
take a break from the country mu
sic scene.
“When I left, Gary P. Nunn was
playing 200 plus shows a year,” Delz
said. “And touring isn’t all fun. It’s
from home, a lot of being away from
my family.”
Even though the rigorous sched
ule might be a sign of success, Delz
said he had a difficult time enjoying
it when he was disconnected from
the ones he loved.
He formed the Gary Delz Pow
er Trio shortly after his departure
from Nunn.
“Really, I just wanted to keep
playing, to keep drumming,” he
said. “It’s what I love,” he says.
Although the band is named af
ter Delz and he is much of the dri
ving force behind their music, he is
still somewhat behind the scenes as

a drummer.
Corpus Christ! native Jeff “El
Jefe” Anderson fronts the band pro
viding vocals and what Delz calls “a
fiery, gutsy, Stratocaster” sound on
lead guitar.
Delz said Anderson is a “full
blown pro” whose "powerhouse
guitar playing” awes audiences into
near-hypnotic states.
Kit Griffin completes the trio and
lays down basslines heavily influ
enced by his jazz background.
Delz said the band’s sound is a
combination of each member’s
background. They are a jazz band,
much rock c
come fromoiij
three men.”
Delz is ew
ed about the trio’s first show in Cd
lege Station and he hopes toga
large student turnout.
“It is really the college stud®
that are keeping blues alive,"Deli
said. “I mean, if you walk into,in-
tone’s (an Austin blues club),its
nothing but students.”
Delz said the students ofle,®
A&M should take advantage ol

Student's show axed over homosexuality fla(
DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas school
official pulled the plug on a student-
produced television show that fea
tured a man in a dress discussing
his homosexuality.
Robert Hinkle, an official with
the Dallas Independent School Dis
trict, said he made the decision be
cause “maybe there was a con
stituency out there that wasn’t
prepared maturely for accepting
this information.”
School officials are crafting
guidelines to regulate the programs
students broadcast over a school
cable channel.
“Getting Personal” was un
plugged after a December episode
featuring a gay man wearing a
blonde wig and black dress as a
guest. Lincoln High School student
Tserilyn Tse produced the episode
with the approval of her teacli
parents and principal.
“I didn’t do that showbecaus
personally like gays or I hatega)'
Tse told Dallas television stalii
WFAA. “1 did this show becauS
