Musician's style appeals to both young and old listen
By Karen Janes
The Battalion
A new generation of Jerry Jeff
Walker fans is emerging in
College Station.
John Davis, Walker’s publicist,
said Walker’s music has changed
over the years to appeal to this
younger generation.
“The younger brothers, sisters
and kids of Jerry Jeff Walker’s origi
nal fans are listening to him,” Davis
said. "His music now appeals to the
high school and college kids.”
Walker said his music appeals to
all age groups.
“The younger fans like it because
it is lively,” he said. “And the older
ones do because their kids do.”
Walker has been making music
since 1957, when artists like Buddy
Holly and other rock ‘n’ roll legends
were his favorites.
“I played in a rock-a-billy band
in high school,” Walker said. “The
songs I wrote told stories about
real people.”
Little has changed for this New
York-born “Texan at heart.” Most of
Walker’s songs still reflect his life ex
periences, he said.
Some of the songs on his latest
album Scamp chronicle his adven
tures on the road. Others, like “Long
Old Dusty Road,” reveal the family
man in Walker.
“Even though he has a wife and
kids at home, he still
likes to maintain his
troubadour image,”
Davis said. “He thinks
that is the purest form of
music expression.”
Walker’s “troubadour
image” is gen

the 1960s ram-

bling on the road,
from New York to
Texas. It was in 1965 that
Walker hitchhiked through Austin
and fell in love with the city.
“Austin was a cute little town
back then,” Walker said.
Walker still lives in Austin and
enjoys playing in college towns. He
said the college crowd in Ausdn
supports him.
“We like to play a lot of college
towns because that is where the
young people are,” Walker said.
“They know how to have fun.”
Walker and his band, the Gonzo
Compadres, tour about 150 days a
year, coast to coast. The musician
said he enjoys life on the road be

Faucher said that when artifacts
are brought in, the researchers
gather around with eyeglasses and
make guesses about the pieces.
“The sheer number of artifacts,
as well as how varied the artifacts
are, present a perfect cross section
of 17th Century France,” he said.
Faucher came to A&M to develop
his skills in conservation techniques.
"As far back as I can remember, I
was always fascinated with history,”
he said. “I don’t know if it was Indi
ana Jones movies or what.”
Barrett, a Rhode Island native,
appreciates the rare opportunity to
get practical experience from
studying the artifacts.
“It is a good feelingknowii':

Faucher said items sue
