Redbone to bring unexpected to ArtsCenter
By Rahul Mehta
Arts Coordinator
Don 't expect the expected from per
former Leon Redbone. Do expect unex
pected routines layered with the kind of
complexity that melts into a musical
mural as colorful as a nursery wall.
Redbone performs his inimitable
blend of post-ragtime jazz, blues and
tango Saturday night at the Carrboro
ArtsCenter.
Drawing from his just-released "Up
a Lazy River" along with his eight pre
vious albums for concert material, Red
bone exemplifies diversity, ranging in
style from ballroom and ballads to early
rock 'n' roll.
Light family favorites will be show
cased. Tunes like "The Chocolate Bon
Bon Ball" and "When Dixie Stars are
Playing Peek-A-Boo" are designed
purely for daydreaming with lyrics like
"A little jelly bean And Mr. Walnut
cream Acted as though they were daffy 7
Fast asleep I'd like to fall Just to dream
about the ball."
Perhaps one of the most interesting
aspects of Redbone's work is his appre
ciation for the tango. These whimsical
and often obscure arrangements are
authentic in their use of the bandoneon,
a traditional tango instrument.
A high point of Saturday night's con
cert will be a performance of "Bitter
sweet Waltz." First performed by Red
bone when he was guest-starring on
ABC's Emmmy-nominated "Life Goes
On," "Waltz" was added to Redbone's
latest album after viewer requests be
gan pouring in. His role as kindly men
tor to the show ' s character Corky makes
his song's refrain especially meaning
ful: "With all of its glories And all of its
faults It seems life is a bittersweet

waltz."
Because Redbone is a perennial
ArtsCenter audience favorite, expect
the concert to sell out, operations man
ager Mary Ruth said.
"He's very unique," she said. "He
revives classic tunes and is very funny,
accompanying songs with a lot of
shtick."
Redbone also has appeared several
times on "The Tonight Show." A Red
bone connoisseur, Johnny Carson has
called the artist "one of my all-time
favorite performers."
Transactors Improv opens for Red
bone at 9 p.m. Saturday at the Carrboro
ArtsCenter. Tickets are $ 1 5 for the pub
lic, $1 3.50 for students and seniors, and
$ 1 2.50 for friends. For details, call 929-ARTS.

Gardner, Hunt trade
attacks during debate
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE The two candi
dates for governor met face-to-face for
the first time Thursday in a debate Demo
crat Jim Hunt called mean-spirited and
Republican Jim Gardner called hard
hitting. Gardner said his questions and re
sponses during the debate before 1,200
members of the State Employees Asso
ciation of North Carolina were issue
oriented. The debate was to be broadcast by
the UNC Center for Public Television
Thursday night.
The first half of the hourlong debate
was based on questions submitted by
each campaign.
Gardner's first three questions to Hunt
involved convicts who were paroled
under his administration and later com
mitted murders.
A fourth questioned the Fair Sen
tencing Act, which Gardner has said cut
sentences in half.
Hunt responded to all of them that
discretionary paroles were eliminated
under the Fair Sentencing Act, but that
the Martin administration, which in
cludes Gardner as lieutenant governor,
had reinstated those paroles.
"After I left office, they this ad
ministration put parole back in,"
Hunt said.
"This administration gutted that law.
You've been paroling people by the
thousands, 500 a week."
One of Hunt's questions to Gardner
asked about Gardner's record of failed
businesses and what steps the state
should take against businesses that fail
to pay their taxes.
"All small businesses face tough
times," Gardnerresponded. "You faced
them when you failed the Bar exam.
"I met a payroll. How many have you
ever met?" Gardner asked.
"I agree that state government should
be run like a business," Hunt said in
rebuttal.
"But I hope it isn't run like one of
your businesses," he said.

Smith, referring to the protest at Hardin's
house. "This week, we're not going to
stand outside. We're going inside, and
we're going to talk to the man."
Smith and fellow BAC members pre
sented the letter to Hardin and asked
him to venture outside to witness the
mass of BCC supporters. "Go out and
see the people," Smith said.
But Hardin refused to go out alone,
suggesting instead that the BAC mem
bers and he go out as a group. "Why
don't we all go out there together?" he
asked BAC members.
The BAC organizers left the office
and took the crowd with them back to
the Pit, where an impromptu speakout
began.
After the confrontation outside his
office, Hardin told members of the press
that while he understood the anger of
the students, all sides of the issue needed
to come together.
"We are not working together nearly
as well as I'd hoped," Hardin said. T
regret very much that we seem to be at
loggerheads."
Hardin would not comment on the
specific demands or on the deadline. "It
would be unwise for me to comment on
that right now," he said, adding that
UNC administrators were willing to sit
down and discuss the situation with
students.
"We're working day and night, liter
ally 24 hours a day on this," Hardin
said. "A number of my associates and
many staff members are actively seek
ing to be in conversation with students."
Smith, however, said the time for
conversation had ended. "We've nego
tiated for 14 years," he said. "We're not
going to negotiate anymore.
"All (Hardin) has to do is say yes or
no."
Smith said the "direct action" men
tioned in the letter referred to more
events similar to and exceeding
Thursday's protest.
"This right here is nothing compared
to what we will do," he said. "It will
only get worse. He didn' t expect us here
today that's direct action."
But Smith ensured that the group
would not participate in any physical
violence. "There will be no physical
violence," he said. "Mental violence
1 that is how we're going to do it."
The supporters of a free-standing
BCC believe the decision concerning a
BCC should be up to students, Smith
said. "We want (Hardin) to understand
that he is not in power now the
students are," he said. "He's supposed
to represent the students.
"He thinks giving us a building gives
us power. And that's what he's afraid
of."
After the march, students returned to
the Pit, where several BAC members
spoke to them about the letter and about
the future of the movement.
"If we all stick together, there is no
bounds to where we can go," said Patrick
Tate, a member of the coalition and a
senior from Statesville. "Don't get sat
isfied. It's not over; it's just started."
BAC members encouraged students
to attend a march down Franklin Street
Thursday for supporters of a free-standing
BCC and the UNC housekeepers.
The housekeepers, many of whom make
less than poverty-level wages, are fight
ing for better working conditions and
higher salaries.
