Coach Andrew Littlejohn’s Bears fall to 1-2 in conference action and 2-3 in all games. Livingstone just wasn’t any match for the Rams’ powerful squad, but behind the passing of sophompre quarterback Marshall Meadows, the Bears put up Earl Tatha' Hines By SharaBurt Staff Reporter Earl Hines, known as “Father” Hines, paid a visit to Winston-Salem State University, September 26, 1978. This world-reknown modern jazz pianist gave a concert in the Kenneth R. Williams Auditorium. “Father” Hines has been noted for his ex quisite style of piano playing. Count Basie once stated that Hines, “is the greates piano player in the world.” That is exactlyu what was portrayed on stage. It was if the fingers of “Father” Hines barely touched the key board, yet music filled the air. He played with ease and com plete control. The audience, which in cluded a number of oldermem- bers of the community, was very attentive and seemed to enjoy the music of the “Fa ther” of Modem Jazz Piano.” Some oldies, but well-known favories were brought to life through his music. Among them were, “Things Ain’t What they Used to Be,” “Take the ‘A’ Train.” “No Greater Love,” and “Sophisticated Lady,” which was done in tribute to the late great, Duke Ellington. Earl Hines was accompan ied in concert by Eric Schneid er who did outstanding feature solos on the alto saxaphone, tenor saxaphone, and the B flat clarinet. Wesley Brown, who played the bass violin, displayed expertise in playing. Ed Graham, on percussion, was featured in a solo which electrified the crowd. Marva Josie, the vocalist and only female of the group, sung with that good ole funky soul sound. Her added charm and beauty highlighted the performance. Overall, the concert was outstanding. For those not in attendance, an incom parable jazz performance was missed. 'FATHA' Hines and Marva Josie a tough fight. Meadows came off the bench and replaced starter Jeff Marable by completing 13 of 25 passes for 219 yards. Meadows fired two touch down passes, one going for 70 yards to flanker James Jackson. Hayes expected a tough battle from the Bears. “We knew that we had more talent than Livingstone because I think we invest more into our program. But I can’t say enough for the way that coach Littlejohn had his team ready to play,” said Hayes. “I think that Livingstone has a lot of pro mise with the type of athletes they have. Those guys were willing to pay the price and they never gave up. ” Homecoming Football By William S.
