Without accompaniment and armed only
with a borrowed guitar and his own altruistic
intentions, balladeer and pop star Harry
Chapin entertained an estimated 1,000 to
2,000 persons in the Pit Friday and raised
over $1,500 for "Why World Hunger."
"Why World Hunger" is a foundation
Chapin established one month ago for the
purpose of helping to alleviate the world
hunger problem.
Chapin combined the presentation of
many of his hits with appeals "to get
involved" and the soliciting of donations.
Dressed in the modest attire of blue levi's,
desert . boots, a workshirt and a white
cardigan sweater, Chapin sang and
strummed his way through an hour's worth

ol excellent music.
His stool rocking and legs kicking, Chapin
offered material from his four albums, from
his first big hit, "Taxi," through "WOLD"
and right up to his recent hit single, "Cat's in
the Cradle." Chapin's voice was in fine tune,
and his verbal gymnastics were augmented
by the excellence of his guitar playing.
On his way to the airport afterwards,
Chapin spoke briefly about his music and his
cause. .
"I'll have my fifth album out in about five
j?r six weeks," he said. "It's tentatively titled
Lifestyles or Characters fve Been."
Chapin helped set up the "Why World
Hunger" foundation because "world hunger
is a problem that is visible. We're working on
the philosophical assumption that
everybody has a right to eat.
"People say the individual or small group
can't do anything, but they can. People
forget that it was a small number of colonists
who started the American revolution, and
only 2,000 Bolsheviks who took over all of
Russia."
The foundation has declared April 17
"Food Day," but wants to make fighting
hunger an everyday activity. Information
can be obtained and donations sent to "Why
World Hunger" Foundation, P.O. Box 1975,

Dance & Party to the music of

"Prop- by AmflK. ugttTta Rcrt, is.
Arrogance was once a group of Winston
Salem rockers who played Black Sabbath
very loud and very well and w hose claim to
lame was a single released in 1970. But group
leaders Don Dixon and Robert Kirkland
grew tired of playing the endless, repetitive
Stones-copped riffs and struck out on a less
commercial, more artistic, but harder path.
Arrogance is now a collection of Chapel
Hill musicians whose tragic flaw is their own
individuality. To celebrate the release of
their second album, Prolepsis (Sugarbush
records). Arrogance played three smooth
and sparkling sets before a packed house at
-Cat's Cradle Friday night.
Arrogance defies the labeling which all
"semi-local" bands are subject to. At times
they sound like the Grateful Dead, Poco or
Shawn Philips, before breaking into .an
uptempo jam reminiscent of Crosby, Stills,
Nash and Young. But their style, as wide
ranging as liny, is decidedly their own.
Sutfice it to say Arrogance plays southern
llavored rock in the country vein and folk
tradition.
Their one night stand at the Cat's Cradle
revealed the difficulties Arrogance must face
as a band sitting on the fence which separates
local talent from wide-acceptance. The
group was tight and the sound and audience
rapport good in the club atmosphere. But
bands in clubs tend to become secondary to
talking and drinking and are often relegated
to a background role, a role Arrogance is
totally undeserving of.
A song by Arrogance is typified by a soft
beginning, with either Dixon or Kirkland
handling the vocal chores. Marty Stout's
piano signals the beginning of a melody
which builds steadily until the chorus, and
then all is quiet again. But years of playing
other people's music has given Arrogance
adaptability, a quality usually observed only
in established top groups.
The harmonies of Dixon, Kirkland and
drummer Steve Herbert highlight the
Arrogance sound; Dixon, with his high
falsetto range, is the perfect foil for the hard,
razor sharp, almost raucous vocals of
Kirkland. Dixon, a former bass player with
UNCs Jazz Lab Band, lays down a funky,
jazz-influenced rhythmic foundation, aided
by the flashless but consistent skin-beating
ol Herbert. Stout displays exceptional
knowledge of the capabilities of various
keyboard instruments, while Kirkland still
has yet to discover the limitations of his flat
picking on an acoustic guitar.
But the key to the imaginative sound of
Arrogance is the constantly changing
tempos and directions which their music
takes. When the group is really on, chord
changes in songs become excuses for
instrumental wanderings and spontaneous
jams.

The music performed Friday was a
collection of old material culled from their
first album. Give Us a Break and
approximately two-thirds of their new LP.
The group's earlier material was offered
first. "Lady Luck and Luxury" featured
organ and guitar trade-offs and the staccato
vocals of author Dixon. Kirkland took oyer
the center mike for "Dying to Know " which
turned into a flattering jam.
The only awkward moments of
Arrogance's first set came with the
presentation of a tune whose melody was a
direct rip-off from the Christmas single.
"Merry Christmas the War's Over" by
John Lennon and Yoko Ono of some years
back.
But Arrogance's individuality was saved
by the song's different lyrics and uptempo
rythmn change.
The entire, impressive first side of
Frolepsis was played at various points
throughout the remainder of the evening.
"Six Wings", with its soft melody and vocals
a la Robert Plant was highlighted by a
delightful piano break by Stout.
Kirkland's "Bad Girl" is probably the
album's most memorable cut. With the
aggressive humor of Dixon's vocals,
accented by Kirkland's high reaches, and an
intectuous melody, this number is the LP's
top rocker chug, chug.
"Barely Alive" goes through several key
changes on its way to becoming a real
Country and Western mover and leads into
"Sun Sweet," an eight-minute mini-suite
with Doobie Brothers harmonies.
From the rapid-paced excellence of
Stout's "Cost of Money," to the heavily jazz
influenced gem, "Can't I Buy a Song," to the
wishful escapism expressed in Dixon's
plaintive vocals on "People Aren't Free," the
highlights of side two of Prolepsis were also
-oflered.
Arrogance's musical dilemma is best seen
in the funky folk of "Slaughtered Eleves,"
playing jobs where no one knows my
name it seems from all the beer they
sell they'd ask me back again . . .on top of
that they think that everybody sounds the
same."
Drawn back for an encore. Arrogance
responded with an extended version of the
much-requested "Take A Shower" a little
booshie-wooshie before ending another
night in another club.
Arrogance is a local band which should
have gained broader acceptance long ago.
They deserve admiration and respect for
holding fast to their own musical identity,
and appreciation for their impressive recent
appearance at the Cat's Cradle and their
excellent new album Prolepsis.

"Winter Consort offers a rich and
awesomely beautiful musical ex
perience that everyone should be able
to enjoy and be touched by, whatever
their particular musical taste. There
are elements of rock, jazz and classical
music but, like a long-simmered stew
with many spices, the flavors have
become so intertwined that they are
impossible to isolate. Winter Consort is
a group you should definitely try to ex
perience; they will bring delight and in
spiration to you life."
CRAWDADDY
"The Consort is a bridge between the
world of ordered music, classical and
symphonic, and the world of free-form
music, such as rock, jazz and folk
music: We feel equal allegiance to
African music, to Bach and to our own
home-made songs."
PAUL WINTER
"The Consort has harnessed the power
of amplification and put H at the ser
vice of musical form, imagination and
fascinating instrumental color."
THE WASHINGTON POST
"For pure musical skill. I don't think
Winter's group can be matched by any
other band on the road today."
