BAND, continued from page 1
we have to play some country,”
Bubba said. "Which we really don’t
mind, but we really rather play just
rock.”
“But I like my country (music)
too!” Fred acknowledged. "We
have our country songs that we
really like and the people really
like, too.”
“I practice at home,” Bill said. "I
do my own thing. I can play the
guitar, too!” As the newest mem-
ber, Bill is like a quiet storm...he
lets his sticks do the talking Bubba
said that Bill was called to play with
the band after practicing two hours
with a tape of the band.
“Of Bill, Fred -.aid, "He’s a good
musician. I was really surprised.
He’s a good improvisor.”
“Definitely!” agreed Bubba.
Recording an a bum is their ul-
timate goal. "We vant the money,
we need the motey, bad,” Fred
said. “Right now, ’hey’re making
just enough to cover expenses,”
Fred’s mother comnented.
I asked the group f they wanted
to get into the music business for
the money or the kve of music.
They all started talkirg in unison,
then Fred’s voice booned jokingly,
“1 want to get into it (music busi-
ness) for the women I like the
women.”
Adam retorted, “Tha’s Fred!”
Bubba philosophize^ “I don’t
think anybody here realy cares if
we get rich, but as longas we can
have a good time and at a little
every once in a while ant make our
way, that would be gr;at. If we
made lots of money sonshow, that
would be icing on the c;ke. I think
the thing we care aboutthe most is
sounding good and ha'ing a good
time.”
I witnessed them "hiving a good
time,” at the Lil Yelow Rose in
Orange. There I saw tleir followers
and their groupies. There I heard
them play some ge -down-dust-
raising, eat-a-plate-of-beans rock
and roll.
The music was loud and inviting.
Fred’s bass was digging deep,
Adam’s rhythm kept their fans’
heads bobbing, Bubba’s lead
wailed from the back woods of
Texas, and Bill’s drums pounded
like a thunderstorm. The bar was
filled with smoke, beer and
electricity. It was a hypnotizing ef-
fect.
I asked the manager of the bar,
Hillbilly was his name, if he liked
the band. All I could hear him say
was, “Wow!”
Fred asked if 1 had a request, and
I asked for “Hello Lust”.
Bubba’s guitar began to scream
like the legendary rock guitarist
Carlos Santana. Each member
seemed to go out of themselves;
they seemed to be making love to
their instruments. They romanced
the rock in their souls. I left the club
feeling like 1 was in the presence of
a rock and roll religious cermonv,
and I had been baptized.
Some of the group’s repertoire
consist of standard Hank Williams,
Charlie Daniels, folk, bluegrass
and the blues.
Fred retorted, “I ain’t never
heard anybody down here play
bluegrass like the way Bubba and
Adam can. If you were to put a
banjo in Bubba's hands, he could
jam on it. He could walk the dog on
The group played in Bridge City
for the Children’s Miracle Network
where they helped raise an exor-
bitant amount of money for the
cause and played to some en-
thusiastic fans
“We had a good lime," Fred said.
“There were little kids that really
liked us."
They categorize their music as
swamp rock which is a style that the
group Z. Z. Top has popularized.
But the group is insisting they are
unique with heir own style,
“If we had the money to afford all
the instruments that we’d like to
play, like the banjo, mandolin,
violin and fiddles, we could incor-
porate that into our rock, then that
would give us that much more of a
swamp rock sound," commented
Bubba
The band is preparing to make
some major changes, like playing
more of their original work, travel-
ing more, and changing their name
to possible Vicious Nature, which
Adam came up with.
"There ain’t no other nature like
this out there in the southern
swamps,” Fred said.
And it is in the nature of Fred,
Bubba, Adam and Bill to “make it”
in the business they love. Rock on!

Good Suggestions

Paint & Household
by Bob D Angelo
Q. I recently had a minor fire in
my house, and have considerable
smoke damage to my walls and
ceilings. I have attempted wash-
ing the walls to no avail; the soot
remains. What would you suggest
I do to eliminate this problem?
Jack R„ Kingsport, Tenn.
A: There is an alcohol based
primer called "BIN” which claims to
be able to cover smoke damaged
walls I have used it before and have
found it to be a superior pnmer with
good opacity You will, however,
probably need more than one coat of
primer I attended a meeting where
one of the speakers was the rep-
resentative from the Zinzer Co.
which manufactures BIN along with
other fine products such as Bull's
Eye Shellac Smoke damage was one
of the issues addressed, and 1 found
that I was impressed with the
results The alcohol based BIN
causes it to dry quickly (about 15
minutes), then reprime. The problem
with alcohol based products is that
they dry so quickly that if you put
your brush or roller down to enjoy a
cup of coffee, when you resume
painting, it wi'l be dry Additionally,
use inexpensive disposable brushes
for this produit. Also, whenever you
use a roller, lin* the roller tray with a
plastic tray liner They sell for about
a half a buck aid can save you a lot
of headaches skould some old paint
in your tray r-juvenate itself and
appear, makirg the wall polka-
dotted.
Q I have ilaster walls and
mouldings tha have some water
damage. The leak has been
repaired, so I <an now attempt to
repair the wal. There is a small
area (about I” by 1’) that I
removed down to the wire lathe.
Can I use wallkoard compound to
make my repairs? B.P. Kings
Point
A Don’t use ready mix compound
for any repair more than tA" thick
Instead, use structolite plaster to fill
the hole that's down to the wire
lathe. Structo lite or brown plaster is
what makes up the first two coats of
plaster Patch that hole with the
Structo-lite to within Vi" of the
surface.
The rest of the peeling plaster due
to water damage is called efflores-
cence. Scrape that away and prime it
with either alkyd primer or BIN i’se
wallboard eompoound for your
finish coat and work it as smooth as
you can You can sand it after
overnight drying, prime again, then
paint the entire reiling and mould

‘Dear Tamara Jones: You missed
an entire group in your ‘caregivers’
update (last month) I am the mother
of a severely handicapped seven-
year-old boy 1 am currently unem-
ployed My husband works as a
fireman ... We have another son, six
years old (not handicapped). My
(handicapped) son gets S.S.I bene-
fits and medicaid. This is based on
my husband's income and is not
available during some months. I
worked in a textile plant before my
son was bom and tried to keep
working for two years afterward.
But It was almost impossible to get
good outside rare for (him) while I
worked. I recently turned down a
job I interviewed for ... (because) I
couldn't find someone to keep my
son at night and on weekends. I
don’t know what my son’s future
will be, and I don’t have much hope
that things will get better The only
suggestion I have is that severely
handicapped children get S.S.I. and
medicaid regardless of their parents'
income. This could be used to pay
for good caregivers while the
parents work, or (have) free or
subsidized day rare for handicapped
children. Thank you."
I've had many letters from women
who stopped working to care for the
sick at home. I’ve heard the talk
about keeping the social services
budget down But I'd say the eco-
nomy would benefit if we encour-
aged people to work and pay taxei
than to force them to stay home f„
lack of affordable day or home can
for sick or handicapped familj

Bob Sinclair, president of Saab-
Scania of America advises women
not to anticipate the usual treatment
but, rather, to “expect" salespeople
to treat them as valuable customers
in the car market He tells his sales*
staff at SAAB “Sell her short, and
you won't sell her at all."
He tells women, if the salesperson
is patronizing, talks of colors and
design rather than technical aspects
such as anti-lock brakes, 16-valve
engines, etc., WALK OUT. You are
entitled to the facts you want and
need to make a sound buying
decision Sinclair also advises you
insist the salesperson discuss all
your concerns and answer all youi
questions about safety, service
agreements, dependability, warran-
ties, financing opportunities,
trade-in programs, rebates, etc.
Remember, use your purchasing
power with those who have earned
the right to have you as a customer.
