WSSU Musicians Form String Sextet
By Renee Wilkins
WSSU students Sheila Campbell,
Janet Washington, Carnell Williams,
Winston Lassiter, and Winfred B.
Marheace combine to make up a uni
que violin sextet called Cinnamon Str
ings. Most of these students perform
with the WSSU String Ensemble.
They are working through the
multifaceted organization entitled Jo-
Wee Publishing House International
and have managed to do pre
demotapes for WTBS TV in Atlanta.
They are presently working on a TV
spotlight with the group “Cinnamon”
(formerly “Spirit”). Along with that,
they are preparing demo material for
Jo-Wee Publishing House.
The group has recently taped a com
mercial for WTBS TV at Dream Studio
in Wilkesboro. They are trying now to
get a contract to do commercials for
WSJS Radio in Winston-Salem.
When asked how they felt about be
ing a part of the group, Janet
Washington commented that she is ex
cited about doing the commercials. She
feels that the group gives her
“something to do with the
instrument.” Sheila Campbell and
Camel Williams feel that the group has
a lot of potential and doing the com
mercials makes everything worthwhile.
Joey Daniels, also a WSSU student,
is the owner of Jo-Wee Publishing
House and the organizer of the group.
Mr. Daniels stated, “There is
something that is returning to the real
people. The listening level of today’s
listeners has reached the level of the
musicians of ten years ago. Authentici
ty will play a big part in the new music
and people also want to be relieved.
These are hard times and to love music
just ain’t gonna make it.”
The group plans to do future com
mercials for Burger King and WXll
Channel 12.
