Musician expresses love of music
McLean combines wit, conservative outlook in concert
By CARYL SHERMAN
Special Writer
Catering to a capacity crowd of 500,
singer-guitarist Don McLean dished out
a slice of humble American Pie Friday
night in Richland College's Performance
Hall. Whether preschool or post-’60s,
each member of the audience appeared
to enjoy McLean’s simple directness
throughout the performance.
Even the stage set testified to his
straightforward and unpretentious man-
ner as well as his selection of material.
Using one guitar, one banjo, two stools,
two slightly unbalanced amplifiers, one
microphone and one bottle of Perrier,
McLean delivered 90 minutes worth of
song and witty anecdotes to a very
enthusiastic and receptive audience.
From lines like "Oh God, how I
worked my youthaway” to "I'm tired of
burning both ends, so I’m building my
body,” he cast a lighter shade to some of
his more solemn works like “Empty
Chairs” or the environmentally
foreboding "Tapcsliy."
The song “Prime Time" gave the
audience a particularly descriptive look
at McLean’s attitude toward the media
Clad in jeans, a western style shirt and
a pair of old cowboy boots, McLean
also expressed his love for the music of
the ’30s and ’40s through such songs as
"If I Only Had A Match” and his own
Concert
Review
“I L.a la la la la la Love You.” (The "la
la la’s" clinched the audience and ral-
lied vocal support from just about
everyone.)
“Things have changed so much since
the ’30s and ’40s,” he told them. “Those
pictures may have been in black and
white, but at least they were in focus.”
A seemingly honest man, McLean
combined the staid success of songs like
"Vincent ’ and “And I Love You So”
with his more recent material, most of
which appears autobiographical but far
from self-indulgent
“I don’t get too emotionally involved
with what I do,” he said at a press con-
ference after the show, "except at the
time I’m doing it.”
As a result of his personable attitude
and the nostalgic fondness shared,
McLean’s music served as refreshing lit-
tle bits of the past for himself and his
audience. The performance achieved a
balance between the well-preserved
memory and his continual efforts to
improve each show.
“I’ve always been a solo performer,
and I’m always finding ways to improve
my performance,” he said.
As far as music today is concerned,
McLean expressed an appreciation for
jazz and a good manager. "Jazz has in-
fluenced a lot of what we are hearing
today,” he said. “People won’t listen to-
day if things aren’t done artfully.
However, a good song transcends
whether or not it has jazz chords in it .”
Known for keeping a low profile
throughout his career he noted the im-
portance of having a good manager in
order to avoid legal and promotional red
tape
His own music has matured over the
past twenty years, and he thankfully
acknowledges the consistency that lime
has yielded in his crowds these days
“I’m also thankful I got my foot in the
door before things changed so radical-
ly,” he said.
Of course, "American Pie" and
“Vincent" commanded their due respect
for enduring the times and were paid
that with standing ovations.
"I don’t do too many songs that I
know aren’t good,” McLean said with a
sheepish grin, "at least for me."
This appears to be Don McLean’s rule
of thumb; "I could have been anything I
wanted to be." And that’s just what he
is—a very content man with conceivable
ideals and an effective way of putting
them across to whoever will listen. Fri-
day, the crowd seemed more than eager
to listen all night when McLean closed
the concert with “Crying Over You.”
Teacher wins grant
for Japan craft tour
By JULIA FRA7TER
Daily Reporter
The National Endowment for the Arts
has awarded a $10,000 Craftsman Fel-
lowship to Harlan Butt of the NT art
faculty.
Butt is one of 40 craftsmen awarded
this grant. The grant will enable him to
visit Japan and see metal craftsmen and
museums around Tokyo and Kyoto, a
major crafts center of all periods of
Japanese art.
According to Butt, these artists do not
have a strong tradition in jewelry, but
rather in small metal implements used
for calligraphy and tea ceremonies.
After six months leave of absence, he
said he will resume teaching at NT.
BUTT’S RECENT WORK involves a
series of three enameled containers, in-
spired by a time lapse photography se-
quence he did in Big Bend National
Forest. At eight compass pbints from
sunrise to sunset, he wrote down his
impressions at each hour. These con-
tainers involve a play between the in-
side and outside. They are not primarily
functional but contain castings of wood
and other natural objects, he said.
Butt’s use of silver and copper alloys
used in casting is in the Oriental tradi-
tion, a primary concern for visual effect,
but not intrinsic monetary value.
His reflections on nature are etched
on the interior of the containers. An ex-
ample of one midday notation; “Very
hot and dry/ Tiny Clouds on a Bleached
Horizon/ The Warm Wind Blows
Forcefully/ Distant Mountains Dissolve
into Haze.”
IT IS NO coincidence that Butt’s in-
volvement with nature links him to the
artists of Japan. “My interests have been
in Japanese philosophy, religion and art.
So I think because my work has moved
closer in this direction, I proposed this
grant and that’s why I was awarded it.”

WHY THE COMMUTER BUS?
Transportation Enterprises, Inc. has been serving university campuses
throughout Texas for the past ten years, providing economical transporta-
tion. Our service has been a bargain In the past, and NOW is even more a
bargain.
Our service generally meets each class in the mornings and departs for the
returns after each class, beginning about 11:00 a.m.
Our buses are not air-conditioned, saving energy and saving your money.
We carry approximately 40,000 persons daiiy on oui economical, money-
saving system. Give us a try. Refunds are available should you not like our
service or it not meet your needs. Due to the energy crisis, space has
become limited. Buy your semester ticket now.
Your Computation Should Be
Similar To The Following
The average student commutes a minimum of eighty miles round-trip from
one city to another. A liberal estimate on miles per gallon for all cars is fif-
teen. Fuel prices average NOW 95c.
80/15 MPG = 5.3 Gallons x 95c = $5.03 Per Day. There are 80 days in a
semester.
Our Price for
Your Cost NTSU/TWU
Monday through Friday
80 days x $5.03 = $4.03 for fuel only $249.00 5 Day
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
48 days x $5.03 = $241 for fuel only $178.00 3 Day
Tuesday and Thursday
32 days x $5.03 = $160 for fuel only $135.00 2 Day
With our service, you don’t worry about parking, wear and tear on
your car, or tickets; and you get extra time to read or sleep.
A couple of things for sure are:
1. Gasoline is going to be more than 95c per gallon.
2. Gasoline availability is decreasing.
3. It costs more than just money for gasoline to operate your car.
Our service is more dependable, economical, safe and convenient than car
pools or driving by yourself.
