Me & Dixon: Crowd-pleasing, unstructured fun
One of North Carolina's first -c or
supergroups played at Cat's Cradle
Saturday and Sunday night. Me &
Dixon, a temporary unit led by Don
Dixon, played a weird, fun set for the
small but enthusiastic crowd that
braved Sunday's ice and snow. ' v
Dixon is a prominent local musician
and producer. He sang lead and played
bass for Arrogance, duties he continues
with Me & Dixon. Dixon, who lives
in Carrboro. currently produces a
number of prominent artists, including
R.E.M.. Let's Active, and X-Teens.
Rick Rock and Pressure Boy Robb
Ladd round out the group. Rock, whose
alter-ego is Spectator critic and former
Eddie Huffman
Review .
Rick Rock leader Rick Miller, plays
guitar, provides backing vocals and
sings lead on several Me & Dixon tunes.
Ladd plays drums for the group and
switches on the drum machine to add
a second guitar on several songs.
Me & Dixon is serving as a temporary
touring combo for Dixon to try out
some new songs in a live setting.
Although the band was tight, the
performers obviously were not overly
concerned with anything beyond having
a good time, and it showed in their
funny, irreverent performance.
"While Rick is tuning," Dixon said
during a break between songs, "Robb
and 1 are gonna play some free jazz."
The pair proceeded to lay down some
truly awful jazz licks. The crowd loved
it.
The rest of the show followed suit.
The band had a good time but was
musically sound and played a number
of good songs, including Dixon and
Miller originals, several Arrogance
songs, and an inspired batch of covers.

Dixon has a fine soulful voice, and
his new tunes were well-suited to his
singing style. His vocals are reminiscent
of the Rascals and Bob Seger, but his
songs have more of a pop feel than the
songs of either of those performers.
Dixon standouts included "Most of
the Girls That You Dance With" and
"February." He sounded terrific on
covers of thedB's"Bad Reputation" and
the James Gang's "Funk 49."
Miller sang two good new songs as
well as a grand rendition of the Rick
Rock classic "Buddha Buddha," and did
a more than creditable Robert Plant
imitation for Led Zeppelin's "Whole
Lotta Love."
During "Praying Mantis," a large
part of the audience crowded up to the
stage and began swaying their arms
back and forth in homage to the band.
"1 thought stuff like that only
happened in Elvis Presley movies,"
Dixon said. Well, Me & Dixon may
not have the charisma of Elvis, but it's
a fine rock V roll band. Expect to hear
more from all three members in the
future.

Kitchen
from page 1
by the Inter-Faith Council for Social
Service in 1 983, is supported by 20 to
25 church congregations and staffed by
more than 100 volunteers, Higgs said.
The kitchen operates on a budget of
$3,500 per year, Lycan said. It buys
staples such as coffee and beans, but
produce markets, grocery stores,
churches and restaurants donate the rest
of the food. "We try to use any leftover
food in Chapel Hill and Carrboro,"
Higgs said. "For instance, if a restaurant
has a lot of extra meat that they think
will spoil, they bring it here."

The kitchen tries to serve food its
patrons will like, Higgs said. Some local
restaurants donate certain foods each
week. One restaurant donates fried
chicken every Tuesday, said kitchen
supervisor John Campbell.
The kitchen is needed especially in
the winter, according to Campbell.
"(The patrons) need a warm place in
the winter. They survive better in the
summer than in the winter."
Lycan said, "We have become the
eyes and ears of the Social Service
agency. The magnitude of the shelter
problem was unknown before."
s"Some would go very hungry if the
kitchen were closed," Higgs said.
