The words are spoken with cheerful enthusiasm by Ralph Carlson, sitting behind his desk in the offices of Snocan Ent erprises the record company for which he records, and of which he is one-third .owner The 39 year-old native of Shediac, New Brunswick, has reason to be gung-no.In 1979 his peers in the Academy of Country Music Entertainment voted him and his group, Country Mile, the award for Outstanding Performance by a Duo or Group at the annual RPM Maga zine Big Country convention.As well, his last single, Lights of Denver, made the charts of more than 50 country stations across Canada, and his rent single.Thanks for the Dance, is now being .played on more than 60 stations Thanks for the Dance, Carlson's descriptive com-position about the sexual temptations for an entertainer on the road, appears to be a runaway hit.The tall, angular, soft-spoken entertainer has been a country artist for the past 20 years, and he recalls fondly the mid 1950s w hen The Family Brown s Pop pa" Joe used to sneak him into an Ottawa radio station to listen to and perform with a popular Ottaw a Valley group Over the years he's worked clubs, con certs, television and church socials, as well as enjoying moderate record success in the mid-60s, when he was on the Rodeo-Banff label.In 1971 he and two partners formed Snocan Records, and Carlson began working at developing a distinctive style In the past three years he's blossomed as a singer, enjoying considerable success with songs such as Don’s Barber Shop.Grandma's Feather Bed, The General Store of Silas MeVie and singing Cowboy Heroes.But Lights of Denver and especially the.powerhouse country sound of Thanks for the Dance are a considerable departure from Carlson's previous records."We felt we needed a change."

when she vanished, and was not discovered until ten days later, living under an assumed name at a resort hotel This latter event is never quite accounted for due to the complete privacy that Dame Agatha Christie demanded m her private, non literary life Robyns' book is not a literary biography, in spite of the prolific output of her subject, but there are enough in Kaleidoscope BY RICHARD LONEY sights into Mrs Christie s habits such as her membership in the famed Detection Club, and the eccentric customs of this secretive enclave, to make for a fascinating read about the lady who became known as the Duchess of Death The details of Agatha Milleer Christie's life are almost lifted out of the eighteenth century world of Jane Austen.The assortment of country homes, and the closeness to family and house servants are so much a part of Mrs Christie's daily life, it is easy to see how her fiction grew from her exceptional powers of observation Robyn is very obviously a fan of the great mystery writer, but she manages to reveal her - warts and all - in an honest biographical effort The shyness, frugality and head-strong belief in her creative talents are balanced by information about her charity-work, and the bond she developed with her publishers, agents and producers of her many successful plays < most celebrated is, of course, "The Mousetrap" which was first staged in 1952» Most of the general details of Agatha Christie's life as they may be found in radio and newspaper interviews over the long years of her publishing career (“The Mysterious Affair At Styles," 1920, to “An Autobiography", 1977), are contained in the Robyns' book Due to the extraordinary measures that her family has taken to preserve her privacy, it is perhaps doubtful that a more intimate, revealing biography will ever be allowed to be written Gwen Robyns gathers together as much as is now known about Agatha Christie, and in true English anecdotal style creates a thoroughly interesting study of the greatest female crime writer “The Moviegoer" by Walker Percy (AVON): $2.50,191 pp.With his new novel.“The Second Coming" slated to be published this spring, Avon books has re-released Walker Percy's National Book Award winner of 1960."The Moviegoer " For those of us unfamiliar with Percy’s three other novels, this mood-laden trip into the deep south is an aperitif leading to anxious hunger for more of Mr Percy's delightful creations Jack "Binx" Bolling is a 30-year-old native of suburban New Orleans who is trying to come to terms w ith his own life and the eccentric behaviour of his very original family.A stock-broker by trade.Bolling is an introspective character, whose views of realitv are Sec KALEIDOSCOPE, Page * TOWNSHIPSWEEK FRI., FEB 22.1980 3 Cubans know how to party B> NELLY YOUNG The Cuban National Folk Ensemble came to Sherbrooke last week, offering a visual and aural history of the evolution of dance and music in that tropic land Peter Inkey, manager of International Creative Management and spokesman for the 65-member troupe, was pleased with the local turnout but expressed concern about future stops on their North American tour He volunteered the information that all Russian dates his agency handled had been cancelled (because of the Afghanistan invasion and its repercussions).Whether the Cuban ensemble would suffer from their country’s association with the Soviet Union remained to be seen He was particularly anxious about ticket sales at their next destination, the Brooklyn Academy of Music.Happily, no political prejudices marred the 'S, Sherbrooke Show-Through the rhythmic, repetitive motion of chain labor made bearable by the beat of conga drums and the clear-voiced team leader, the dance establishes its African roots.Two teams compete, chanting in answer to their leaders' call.Slave is pitted against slave until all but one are eliminated With an understanding of the language or a helpful program to guide us.more might have been conveyed Nonetheless the powerful impact of this opening series of dances was not lost on anyone.When it was over, a programme would have informed spectators there was enough time during the costume change to take in the three attractive exhibits in the immediate vicinity Instead, many waited impatiently in their seats The second part of the three-pronged evening carried us through time and social change, touching different rungs on society’s ladder through dance Costumes were an integral part of the choreography.Blue and white full-skirted dresses swished and swayed to the subtle rhythm changes of the drums and a solitary female's song.Seduction was the message of a dance whose only musical accompaniment was the beat pounded out by wooden-soled sandals held on the foot with a single broad strap A remarkable, creative feat (no pun intended).There were forays into Busby Berkeley chorus line routines a l’espagnol.It wouldn't have surprised me to see Desi Arnez make an appearance Carnival was the festive concluding segment of the programme.A vivid, bouncy parade of revellers, decked out in gaudy, masked or outlandish costumes, sw ung to a more modern beat in movements frequently evocative of rock and even disco From amongst the banners and colourful props, including a star-topped, cylindrical one displaying the red.w hite and blue of the Cuban nation, two shiny, blaring trumpets emerged These were the only nonpercussion instruments used all evening Yet the varied array of drums and other rhythm-makers, combined with clear, rich voices, never called for more Instead of an encore to the planned repertoire, the applause following every series of related dances earned one or more brief continuations, each time injected with a humour-dosed, dynamic exchange amongst the principals.Not to be mistaken for classical dancers who’ve been through 20 years of training, the Cuban hoofers embody a tradition steeped in peasant and popular dance.Their professional show- provides light but enriching entertainment.Set livens up Kansas town SALIN A, Kan.

In his own quiet way, rock producer Terry Brown has declared war on blatant commercialism in the rock •music industry: Re just refuses to get involved in it.While record company executives heatedly discuss demographics, product and units moved.Brown talks about music, the artists and their records He says he's in the business of making music not money.Brown's attitude has alienated him from some | industry folk, but it’s also I the key to his international success with such I Canadian bands as Rush, i Klaatu.Max Webster and Domenic Troiano.It also may be respon sible for his longevity in a business that is as ruthless as it is materialistic — a business where a producer is only as good as his last record Brown has been producing music for more than a decade, and in that time he has seen the Canadian scene change from a fledgling enterprise to a major industry When he came to Toronto from England in the late 1960s, there were no recording studios sufficiently equipped to handle international ar lists.So his first project was to set up a 16-track recording studio with all the trimmings NOT ENOUGH WORK In partnership with Canadian composer-musician Doug Riley, he established Toronto Sound Studios and worked there successfully for almost 10 years as engineer and producer But in 1977 the studio closed “There was never quite enough business to keep everyone happy," Brown said in a recent interviewât his Toronto home.“Every six months somebody would get hurt, and that's what happened to us." His studio’s financial problems did not sour Brown on the Canadian music scene — he said he has never regretted coming here.Brown left London in the late 1960s because he felt the music scene there had become tired and dispirited after thriving for so many years.But he brought to Canada the technique he had acquired while apprenticing at Olympic Studios, a facility used by such rock greats as the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Moody Blues and Donovan."I was operating the tapes and getting coffee at first (at Olympic), just a go-fer' learning the business.” he said.“We were doing things like Donovan’s early hits and the Moody Blues's early stuff.It was incredible." Brown said that in English studios there is a natural progression for apprentices They start as gofers, going-fer coffee, going-fer food for clients, I answering phones and helping out wherever necessary.They later become tape operators, a job more intimately involved with the recording session MADE IT TO PRODUCER When the studio heads decide they're ready, the apprentices move on to assistant engineers, then engineers, and eventually they produce their own sessions Brown had become a producer when he decided to leave for Canada “I love the Canadian scene as far as the artists go." he said “But the business end of the music industry is a mess “The record companies do an OK job selling records to kids who are hyped through the American media, which is not really difficult to do.but 1 think they should start putting money into the artists and the musical community instead of worrying about their positions all the time “That's basically what it boils dow:n to.Any of the guys who have done something aren’t here anymore.Record company-executives who have something to offer get snaffled up and go south.Dance in Stanbridge East The Stanbridge East Sports Association will be holding a Sadie Hawkins dance on Feb.29 at the Memorial Hall.Dancing from 9-2.Admission $2.50.Music supplied by the New Thymes.B.Y.O.B.Canteen on premises.tiOVEY MANOR on Lake Massawippi North Hatley, Que.(Much More Than Just A Restaurant) $uni)ag Urunclj Has Come To Hovey Manor Join Us For Our Opening Brunch This Sunday.(11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.) Adults $7.00 Children Under 12 $4.95 Reservations Are Appreciated Call: 842-2421 lUWNbHIKbWttK t-KI KfcH 2Î, 1080 .S HIGHSTREET factor in Highstreets' performance.The band seems not to have grown beyond the level of their only album, released early last summer Tune arrangements are basically unchanged though I must confess a partiality for that seductive hook on the recorded version of "She's an Animal" which always seems omitted on stage.And I d sure like to hear the group do “I Want a Van" live If they want to go places, Highstreet will have to start working on some more imaginative angles There are a few-newer numbers that court obscurity with their lack of either a clear melodic sequence or interesting lyrics - sometimes both .Nevertheless, a few exceptions did surface "Soldier of Fortune", its drum-accompanied guitar wailing a few bars of ' Taps", was a successful combination of graphic word imagery and musical military allusions, even if we have been there before.The existential lyrics of "Do Yourself a Favour" and "Smoking that DNT" hit home.Interestingly enough, it took Brian Monty, one of the local Bluesbreakers, to snap Highstreet out of its well-orchestrated.prog rammed set.For two numbers, Mickey Hall handed his invisible baton to Monty whose gravel voice and straight-ahead guitar style ushered in an emotion-packed jam session.Butch Coulter, who had earlier impressed in fits and starts, found his soul.Blowing his harp, he extended chords and chugged steadily along "Further Down the Road" His wispy figure rubber-banded to the highs and lows much like his idol, Jim Zeller Sometimes he seemed bent on toppling off the stage but the music always rescued him from the brink of disaster Unobstrusive in the rear.Gordie Adamson was a power base on drums Special effects were a promised highlight but.other than some eyecatching costume changes and a varied, if not particularly imaginative, play of lights, nothing of consequence materialized.The dry-ice fog which opened the second set peetered out before the house lights went off As for the huge CRTS letters emblazoned against the background screen, they were certainly out of place as part of the decor and lent an unnecessary and undesirable element of hardsell.Highstreet is a hard-knockin'.hard-rockin' barroom band The Cen tennial show was, therefore, a strange ex perience for its members and fans.Many were frustrated by the absence of a dance floor and the restriction on drinking and smoking Ted Hall, realizing their frustration land his own), urged them to dance anyway.But only-one inspired fan immediately answered his call, attracting attention in the narrow space between stage and audience.It was not until the well-known "She Won't Be Waiting", a diluted reggae number, that a handful of dancers joined her.Ironically, the music was by this time not particularly danceable Then, the inconspicuous Music chart NO.TITLE ARTIST LAST WEEK WEEKS ON 1.Jane e Jefferson Starship 1 12 2.Rapper's Delight Sugarhill Gang 3 6 3.Coward of the County Kenny Rogers 5 9 4.A Crazy Little Thing Queen 8 7 5.Rock With You Michael Jackson 2 13 6.Video Killed the Radio Star Buggies 4 11 7.Message in a Bottle Police 12 5 8.The Long Run Eagles 11 11 9.Do That To Me Captain & Tenille 6 13 10.Sara Fleetwood Mac 10 10 ¦ 11.This Is It Kenny Loggins 13 10 12.Planet Claire B-52’s 17 4 13.Romeo’s Tune Steve Forbert 15 7 14.Don't Do Me Like That Tom Petty 7 12 15.September Morn Neil Diamond 22 4 • 16.Longer Dan Fogelberg 23 4 17.Yes I'm Ready Terry DeSario 20 9 18.Last Train to London Electric Light Orchestra 21 6 19.I Wanna Be Your Lover Prince 19 11 20.Cool Change Little River Band 9 13 .21.Déjà Vu Dionne Warwick 25 6 22.Fool in the Rain Led Zeppelin 28 5 23 Why Me Styx 27 5 24 Day Dream Believer Anne Murray 26 7 25 1 Don't Like Mondays Boomtown Rats 14 13 26 On the Radio Donna Summer 31 4 27.Working My Way Back To You Spinners 32 3 28.99 Toto 38 2 29 Escape Rupert Holmes 18 13 30.How Do 1 Make You Linda Ronstadt 40 2 31.An American Dream Dirt Band 39 2 32 Lost Her in the Sun John Stewart 37 3 33.Desire Andy Gibb 36 3 34 Wonderland Commodores 35 5 35.Wait For Me Hall & Oates 16 12 36.Don't Let Go Isaac Hayes 30 10 37.Another Brick in the Wall Pink Floyd — 38.I Like To Rock April Wine — — 39.Him Rupert Holmes — — 40 Too Hot Kool and the Gang — — Gordie Adamson emerged from his obscure perch behind the drums, inciting the crowd to clap by-beating his sticks together A high-energy encore, “Route 66 brought the show to a rousing finish Generous as the concert was, it seemed too short for those w ho.during the final splashy number, had been moved to get up and dance.One of Highstreet's catchy songs, "They Know Who They Are", had sadly fallen victim to the earlier sound problems But one thing is certain -
