October 4, 1979 The Pendulum Page 7 m Cale and Schlitz prove greatness by Jeff Batts With one week to go until the town noise ordinance goes into effect, the Light house Tavern held its best and one of the last shows of the school year. Saturday night, many Elon students witnessed what was the finest show of the year— J.J. Cale and Don Schiltz. Don Schlitz, country mu sic’s writer of the year for 1979, opened the show with a high-spirited first set. He played songs mostly from his forthcoming debut album entitled Dreamer’s Matinee. Highlights included the title cut from that album, as well as “The Gambler” and “Face” which drew more audience response than others for its suggestive lyrics. A dreary, unshaven J.J. Cale followed Schlitz and proceeded to show the crowd why he is such a respected musician. Playing primarily from his first al bum, Natwally and his la test, 5, he stimned the crowd with self-inspired guitar playing and desperate vo cals. After an opening instru mental, he jumped into “I’ll Make Love To You Any time” from 5, which was followed by “Friday,” also from that album. After another instrumen tal, he performed a stunning version of “Crazy Mama” with an impressive bottle neck guitar solo. He then brought the crowd to their feet with “Cocaine,” his most popular piece of the night. Although both shows were short, the audience had a chance to see two of the great songwriters of our time.

People tend to remember the way things used to be. This may or may not be a problem for A.C. and Sylvia Greene, the new owners of Brown and Company of Elon College. The original owners, Bev erly and Joel Brown, after three years have sold their restaurant. “I have been in the restaurant business for a long time,” Joel says. The first place I owned was in r 25% Discount With CoUege IJ). Now On Mondays Hungry Bull Family Steak House I I I I I ♦ ♦ I I ♦ I I I ' Biu-lington. Then I bought 'what used to be Garrison’s 'and made Brown and Com pany. Now I’m ready to get out and go on to something a little different. I think Beverly and I are ready for a change.” The new owners seem to have the same motives for getting in as the Browns have for getting out: “I’m really tired of being on the road. I saw Jod’s ad in the paper and became interested in the challenge. Neither my ‘wife nor I have had any restaurant experience. We threw ourselves into it wholeheartedly and really want it to work.” Sylvia indicates that she has been a teller in a bank for the past 20 years. “I’m excited about Brown and Company. I feel confident that we’ll do well. Besides our new faces, we aren’t maidng any changes— the name and menu will remain the same. Even the previous employees will be with us.” Offlcial settlement was Monday, Sept. 17. What wiU Beverly and Joel Brown be doing? They won’t be disappearing from the com munity. During the sum mer, they bought what used to be BiU’s Blue Room. Adding to the completion of the bars, Dewars will pro vide Elon with a more quiet and tranquil atmosphere than other pubs in town, Joel says. “It will be an ideal place for dating cou ples,” says Beverly. “We are trying to give the stu dents a little more variety in entertainment.” No official date for that opening has been set, however.
