Edward, Howard, and George
have cut albums in Canada and are
now touring various colleges in the
Eastern U.S. to gain exposure. The
University of Tennessee, Indiana
University, and the University of
Pittsburg have been a part of the
tour and the reviews from the tour
range from “great” and “excellent”
to “best group of the year.”
The group’s style is similiar to
that of Simon and Garfunkel, the
Beetles and Seals and Crofe. Hard
ing states that the group is not out
to make any heavy social state
ments. It seeks to make music that
is enjoyable and easy to listen to.
The reviews agree that the group
fulfills this hope. It has a soft
sound with a performance that is
polished and well-arranged and a
fine musicianship which continual
ly pleases the audience.
Edward, Harding and George
Christ’s life were evident through
out the performance.
Most viewers commented on the
fact that Christ was shown as a fair
skined and light haired man. Some
cast members lacked the Jewish
characteristics of that period such
as beards and long hair. It was
commented bygone viewer that the
film required a previous knowl
edge of the Bible to be fully under
stood.
It is hoped that the film will be
shown again on campus during the
semester. Following its premier at
Southpark, the film will also be
shown in Tennessee.
