Perhaps the Winston-Salem
Coliseum has lost its "coliseumic"
nature; or could it be
that the novelty of going there
discipates with the infrequency
of visitation? Does it 'just
not offer your kind of
entertainment?
Whatever the reason, the
people in and around the
Winston-Salem area do not
support activities of the
Coliseum.
Characteristically, only
3,200 ^persons attended the
show last Friday featuring
Graham Central Station, Betty
Davis, and Brute. One would
expect that a show headlining
such artists and during a
university (WSSU) homecoming
weekend, there would

Alumni and hear the swinging
sounds of Opus 7, Friday
night.
The atmosphere of the ball
was more relaxed and sociable
than many people would have
expected. The dances and
conversations were of a varied
nature. The "bump" was the
most favored dance of both
young and old.
As the time ftrrived for the
coronation ceremony, all of
the contestants robed in the
finest attire, waited patiently
and with great anticipation for
the crowning of "Miss
Alumni". Each former "Miss
Alumni" was honored at the
occasion prior to the crowning
of the new queen, Vcrdenc P.
Pettiford.

On the other band,, the
attendance figure is suggestive
that many people have
prejudged Graham Central

ramuy aione witn wnom Larry
Graham had been associated
for over six years.
In my interview with
Graham 1 was convinced that
he is quite concerned that
people might have formed
such prejudices. Larry Graham,
by way of Graham
Central Station, has established
the fact that he is an
individualist, - moreover, the
individual that gave Sly and
the Family Stone their unique
souna tor tnose six years he ?
was with them. As one listens
to Sly and the Family Stone
now, it is apparent that the
"bottom" has fallen out of
"-that sound which kept Sly's
Familyiiigh on the charts for
so long.
Quite the cpntrary of a
"Sly" image, Graham Central
Station demonstrates a new
kind of music with a message
that, according to Larry
GTaham, is, "next to
Godliness, and His inspiration
has kept the six Northern......
Californians releasing themselves
(accordingly) over the
oast vear."

Larry Graham, the leader of
Graham Central Station, has
shown outstanding musical
potential since he was five
years old when he began
playing piano. Before his
teens, he learned all keyboards,
guitars, drums, harmonica
and bass, and has
developed a three-and-onehalf
octave range which he
displayed earliest in vocal ^
ducts with his mother on jazz
and blues standards.
It was then Sly Stone saw
Larry- and his mother
performing in Oakland. Cal.,
that he invited him to join a
