The sound of music broke
the Wednesday morning
routine on the second floor
of Loftin Student Center.
Camille Culwell, a sopho-
fat girl and goes to show that
anything goes.
The standout song on side
one is “You're Gonna Love
Yourself in the Morning,’’ a
slow ballad that already has
been re-recorded by Sammi
Smith. It is a love song, and
Fritts gives it tender treat-
ment and makes it personal.
The album changes tempo
quiteabit, just when it seems
to drag honky-tonk piano
and rhythm and blues, horns
come on to pick things up.
Side two shows the most
ambition and the best music.
“Sumpin’ Funky Going On”
opens the side with Tony Joe
playing guitar and adding
wisecracks.
Bill and Bonnie Hearne will be at the
Bijou this weekend. Bonnie is blind and
Bill can’t see, but these folks can pump
out some fine country music.
Joker Moon, one of S. A.’s first
country/rock bands, is back together
and will be at the Longneck tonight and
Saturday.
The 1975-76 Symphony season opens
Oct. 11 with a tribute to conductor Victor
Alessandro. The symphony has two
series this year, one at Trinity’s Laurie
Auditorium on Saturday nights and one
at the Theater for the Performing Arts on
Hemisfair Plaza on Monday nights. The
symphony is offering special student
discounts.
The River Art Show is back again this
year for the 31 st time Saturday and Sun-
day. This show attracts artists, art lovers
and just plain people from all over the
state.
There is no admission and the artists
are everywhere along the River Walk and
in La Villita.
The Witte Museums’ “Texas Tough”
exhibit of non-traditional Texas art will
continue through October. This show is
highly recommended. Go see “Texas
Tough” then the River Art Show or vice-
versa. The difference will be amazing.
It has a deep down swamp
sound and is the best song
on the album for pure feel-
ing.
“Jesse Cauley Sings the
Blues” and “My Friend” are
the musical highpoints.
Harmonica, dobro, and an
absence of horns make them
work.
“Prone to Lean,” the title
cut, was written by Kristof-
ferson about Fritts and has
a get down sound that would
make Booker T. proud.
The abum is slightly over-
produced with brass added
where it does not fit. But
overall it is fast, loose and
natural.

The highlight of the show

came with the ensemble per-
forming their version of
Terry Riley’s “In.” At that
point, the show was a mix-

San Antonio is beginning to recover
from a long, hot summer. The tempera-
ture is slowly dropping and the fine arts
entertainment machinery of the city is
cranking up to provide us with a barrage
of things to do.

season has opened with Neil Simon’s
“Star-Spangled Girl”, directed by Gary
Smith. The drama will run through
Saturday. Admission is free for students

lesque in Review” at 7:30 p.m. Friday-
Sunday.

Sam Houston has “Gaslight” with a buf-
fet at 7 p.m. and show at 8 p.m.

Lake College will do “A British View of

“Even the red cross every
so often i nvites us out to Fort
Sam Houston to sing at the
hospital,” Culwell said.
Keipaper said they can do
at least one hour’s worth of
music based on the music of
artists like Crosby, Stills,
Nash and Young. He said
they could perform longer
with a modification or two.
Culwell explained singing
relieves some of the study
tensions the two have before
attending classes. She noted
they enjoy singing as a

friendship.
Norman Jewison, who di-
rected and produced the
movie, apparently values in-
dependence, abhors super-
ficiality and believes each
person has worth in his own
right.
Though the movie is viol-
ent, the violence is neces-
sary to make its point.
There is only one serious
error. The movie is based on
the premise that mankind’s
violent behavior can be con-
trolled by vicarious partici-
pation in violent games.
If that were true our world

Is it a game to replace war?
The executives of a world-
wide corporation believed
the masses of each country
would identify with their own
team of rollerball to such an
extent that overt aggression
would, cease to exist. War
would be no more.
It is easy to identify with
“Rollerball.” The audience
gets involved with it in the
same way audiences get in-
volved in a Texas-Oklahoma
football game, or mothers
get involved in little league
ball games.

Chairman Ron Viola,
music major, then broke the
somber mood with a story he
had written which flowed
into a Viola film and tape.
The ensemble accompanied
Viola’s story into the film.
The tape which was not di-
rectly related to the film
brought an adverse reaction
from an audience member.
He denounced the tape as
having racial overtones.
To relieve the audience of
their uncomfortable feeling,
the ensemble went right into
a piece entitled ‘Afar Away
Apart” by David Catacalos.

Donnie Fritts— “Prone to
Lean” Atlantic SD 18117
Donnie Fritts is not a
household name. Frits is
best known for his keyboard
work with Kris Kristof-
ferson’s band and for his
song writing.
Donnie Fritts is a picker,
one of the lonesome breed of
persons born to play music,
write songs and live on the
road.
“Prone to Lean” is Fritts’
first solo album, and while it
probably will not rocket him
to stardom, it is a solid pre-
mier album.
The ablum was recorded
with an all-star cast. Rita
Coolidge, Kristofferson,
Tony Joe White, John Prine,
Spooner Oldham, Mickey
Raphael, the Muscle Shoals
rhythm and horn sections
and Billy Swann all help out.
If one word could sum up
the album, “funky” would be
it. The themes of the songs
are like the themes of most
songs. They deal with love,
both lost and found, life on
the road and picking.
The thing that makes
“Prone to Lean” different is
the feeling. The album feels
gritty, honest, sincere and —
funky.
The opening song, “Three
Hundred Pounds of Hon-
gry,” kind of sets the pace.
It’s about being in love with a

There was one spectator
but this was no reflection on
the quality of their music.
Keipaper’s experience in
singing and playing origi-
nated in high school as a
hobby. While he was in the
Navy, Keipaper sang at cof-
fee houses for experience.
Culwell sang with choirs in
high school and college.
Culwell explained she and
Keipaper once had been
members of a folk group
here, but because Keipaper
is commuting to UTSA and
because of her heavy class
load, they dropped out of the
group.
“We just became busy
people with semester
loads,” Culwell explained.
Keipaper explained that it
was Culwell who broughtthe
two back as a singing duo.
“She called me up about
seven one morning and
asked if I was interested in
practicing,” Keipaper said.
