If you've got a spare $5.00
hanging around your pockets
(which happens very rarely to
me) let me clue you in on the
best investment even It's not a
savings bank or a hot stock or a
tip on a horse. It's the new al-
lium by Harry Nilsson Nibson
Schmilsson.
It's not often I hear an album
that I immediately turn on to
but Nilsson Schmilsson is a dif-
ferent story. There's not a cut
on either side of the album that's
not well done.
HARRY NILSSON. most well-
known for his theme from Mid-
night Cowboy and the T.V. spec-
ial The Point shows an 'entirely
Japanese student to teach
eastern paper sculpture
"I can make anything from a
piece of paper" stated Koichi
Tsukizaki international student
from Japan. "I can make flowers
animals of all kinds fish any-
thing." Koichi better known to his
friends as "Two Keys" is cur-
rently putting his skill with pa-
per better known as the art of
Origami to a good use.
"Two Keys" plans to teach
the eastern paper sculpture to
Abilenians at the YWCA begin-
ning March 30. He will hold two
hour sessions which will begin
at 7 o'clock each Thursday night
continuing for six Thursdays. If
there is 'enough interest the
YWCA will sponsor a daytime
class too.
"Origami is easy to learn"
says "Two Keys" "and lots of
- fun. I think the art would be of
great interest to art education

Jobs open
for youth
Anyone interested in youth
work for the summer should
look into 'the opportunity
through the Religious Activi-
ties Office.
Each year at this time there
are several opportunities for
youth workers and music direc-
tors in area churches. Some of
these- jobs include both youth
and music responsibilities while
k others are seperate jobs.
Opportunities for both men
and women are available in
youth work at churches. Mar-
shall Walker director said that
they receive plenty of calls from
churches for youth workers for
the summer.
Part-time and full-time posi-
tions are also available in these
summer jobs.
fror further information con-
tact Marshall Wlkr in the Re-
ligious Activities Office. He sets
. up interviews with the church-
es.that are. asking for summer
help i t
different side of his talents on
his newest album. Harry's gotten
together some fabulous musi-
cians such as Klaus Voorman on
bass Bobby Keyes on sax and
Jim Webb on electric piano and
has added his own special sound
to produce the hottest album to
come out in quite a while.
Side one starts out with a
wierd sound unlike the Nilsson
you're used to hearing called
"Gotta Get Up". Written by Nil-
sson he also plays piano on this
cut. "Gotta Get Up" mixes the
sound of an accordion remind-
ing you of a German beer gar-
den with the big band sound
complete with brass.
Just listening to it makes you
feel happy as does most of Nil-
ssons' music. From what I've
tion majors because it is so easy
to teach to children and the
children are fascinated by it."
"Two Keys" is in his fourth
semester and plans to graduate
in May with his master's in Eng-
lish. "I'm expecting a collection of
essays and short stories I've
written to be published in the
School of
recitals for

heard of his music he must be
the happiest man in the world
and the craziest.
THE SECOND CUT on side
one is "Driving Along" another
number written by Nilsson
featuring his famous high notes.
How he reaches them and turn3
them into the sound of a musical
instrument I'll never tell you.
Lead guitar on this cut played
by John Uribe adds that some-
thing extra making you want
to shout "Wow!" It's something
else.
"Early In the Morning" one
of the three cuts on the album
that wasn't written by Nilsson
is unbelievable. Nilsson turns
into a blues singer and when
he sings the blues he sings the
near future in Japan" said "Two
Keys." "I've also written an art
book that I've sent to publishers
in New York."
"Two Keys" urges H-SU stu-
dents to attend his classes being
held at the YWCA.
"Origami is fun and you can
create some beautiful art pieces
with it" says "Two Keys."

blues. Nilsson plays organ- on
this cut and strangely enough
his voice even sounds like an or-
gan. Nilsson really puts soul
into a blues number.
When you hear "Moonbeam
Song" written by Nilsson you'll
definitely recognize his style.
It's like Nilsson as he sounded
in Midnight Cowboy strange
but beautiful Acoustic guitars
are used to really get the feeling
of a moonbeam moving across
the countryside. What fascinat-
ed me was that Nilsson uses no
background group to sing har-
mony he sings harmony with
himself through the use of tapes.
It"s a sound not to be missed.
ROUNDING OUT side one is
"Down" also written by Nilsson.
A big band sound is mixed with
a driving beat and Nilsson's voice
makes you believe that you are
really going "down to the bot-
tom of the hole." I'd'say "Down"
is the best cut on side one. Bob-
by Keyes plays a mean sax while n
Nilsson echoes and re-echoes his
voice. It's really a weird effect
Side two is more of crazy Har-
ry doing the unpredictable.
"Without You" leads off the side.
When I first heard this cut on
the radio I thought it-was any-
body but Nilsson singing it. It
was too sophisticated. A full
orchestra complete with violins
calms Nilsson's voice down. No
matter what anyone says I be-
lieve Harry was singing that
song to somebody special. It's
got too much emotion behind it
for me to believe anything else.
It's beautiful.
Next is a crazy song "Coco-
nut" written by Nilsson. He
combines the jungle type sound
from bongos and the precussion
section with his strange voice
that ranges from bass to very
high. It's great and after a while
you'll find yourself moving along
with it.
HARRY EXPERIMENTS
somewhat in his next cut "Let
the Good Times Roll." Yes it's
the same song that was so popu-
lar in the fifties. But Nilsson

adds none other than a harmon-
ica and slows down the rhpthm.
The rock in the song seems to
take on a countryish tingle. Let
me tell you you'll never recog-
nize it as an oldie. Nilsson has
changed it into a "goodie."
"Jump Into the Fire" written
by Nilsson has got to be the
best cut on the album. It's a real
gem. Nilsson plays electric pia-
no Jim Webb plays acoustic pia-
no and Herbie Flowers plays
bass guitar. It's got a pounding
beat so unlike Nilsson's other
songs that your first thought is
that it's some electric rock band.
Everyone goes crazy but yet
the words are there and you can
understand them. The ending of
the song you will not believe.
You've got to hear it for your-
self because on the radio they
cut the ending. It'll be the best
six minutes you'll have ever
spent.
WRAPPING UP the album is
a beautiful song that when you
hear it you'll have to have some-
one there with you that you care
about. Again backed by a sym-
phony orchestra Nilsson pours
his low voice on you. Somehow
that guy can make you feel how
things are just by the way he
uses his voice. Only one word
can describe it: Beautiful.
So that's Nillson Schmilsson.
Whatever you do try to beg
borrow or buy it It's on RCA
and it's far-out. Buy it as a gift
for v someone and then- invite
yourself over to listen. Better
yet but it for yourself you'll
never regret it.
