March 1, 1965 High Life Page Three Humorous Austrian Musician Gives Views On Beatles BY CHARLEEN PYRON I him riting dis statement from a concert hall where I have stoot in line for 2 ours to tawk to a famous sanging group. I am a little old man going on 70 years old and I sure hope I get a chance to sit down pretty soon. It all began when I went to my very first concert in America. I ham a great lover of music and when I lived in Austria, I was a Professor of music at a famous university. When I came from Austria I was told by an American friend dat dear was going to be a concert given by a group of child prodigies called the Beatles. I forgot to ask my friend whether the Beatles were in opera or whether dey were a choir. It dit not matter, however, because I ham interested in, both kinds of musik and decided to let the Beach Boys be a surprise. When I harrived at the concert hall, I vondered vy I didn’t re ceive a program telling whether the Beatles was going to sing Carmen or Figaro. I foimd my seat and waited for the recital to begin. Doon, I was suddenly unable to hear anything excepting the hor- ribil shrieking of a hundrit- thousant peoples. When the shriek ing had quietened down to a mild roar, I heard some of the com ments on the Bratles. “Oh, Myr tle, just look how George is wear ing his hair today. Don’t you think its yummy?” Another girl with her eyes bugging out said in a quirkly voice, “Oh, I must get a chance to touch Ringo’s drums.” As soon as I had a chance t see dese child prodigies the very first thin I noticed was dat dey did not half on tuxedos. I was surprised but recovered as soon as I saw that dey were definitely long-hairs. In all my days of teaching at the University, I haf never en countered the kind of musik that I heard that evening. At first it sound very much like the dance done by the nature tribe that I heard on my last trip to Africa. As the concert continued, how ever, I began to realize why my friend said dat the Beatles were child prodigies. If the Beatles had not ben geniuses how could dey haf stood before a mass of howl ing people and wiggle back and forth and play those huge violins?

And how could dey haf stood de writ ers cramp dey must get from signing so many autographs. I am not an emotional person but during de concert our idea formed in my head . . . why not carry this group back to Austria with me so dey can teach my vio- Solin students more about waht real music is like. So when de concert ended I was screaming a loudly as de rest of de audience. I jumped from my seat and raced backstage to tell the Beatles about my plans to ship them to Austria. That is how I got stuck in dis haf-mile line. I will probable be here all night but if I don’t get a chance to sit down, I am goink to col- lai>se from exhaustion. Four Paperbacks Worth Having All five are published by Mac- fadden and can be found in the paperback rack at newsstands and bookstores. The Dictionary of American Government, by Sol Hole; 75c.

Reading for Enjoyment, by Don ald MacCampbell; 60 cents. This small book (about 128 pages) can do big things for you. After the usual pitch about how important reading is, it gets down to busi ness about ho-w to read and how to hang onto what you learn by read ing. Valuable sections on how to use the library and how to keep a file. TRY THIS This is a college of activity around Grimsley Belafonte -- Outstanding Artist Folk music has taken our nation by storm during the last two or three years. As the trend begins to die down, there are a few out standing artists who will remain with us througn the years. Harry Belafonte is one of these people. Fact is, that Harry Bela- fopte was around several years before the so-called ‘trend ’ start ed. It was he that made calypso popular in the United States sev eral years ago. Calypso as a whole didn’t last too long, but it estab lished Belafonte as one of the leading folk music artists in the country. BELEFONTE AT CARNEGIE HALL is a good sampling of Bel- afonte’s hits over the years. His subjects are varied. Four calypso hits, “Day O,” “Jamaica Fare well,” “Man Pioba,” and “Mama Look a Boo Boo,” reflect Bela- fonte’s early years in the South India as he reminisces about his childhood. American folk songs, “John Hen ry,” “Darlin’ Cora,” and “Sylvie” are sharply contrasted with the Mexican “Cu Cu Ru Cu Cu Pa- TASTY COMBINATION! 100% Pure Beef Hamburger, 12-oz Coke FRENCH FRIES ONLY 40c llllcDoiiah6'. loma” and Israeli “Hava Nagei- lah”„ This isn’t all. The two-record album contains nineteen selections recorded before a large audience at New York City’s Carnegie Hall. Another Belafonte concert al bum which I particularly like is BEELAFONTE AT THE GREEK THEATRE. In case you don’t know what the Greek Theatre is. it is a large open-air theatre in Los Angeles, California. Pattern ed after the ancient theatres in Greece, the Greek Theatre seats 4407. In a manner must like his Car negie Hall Concert, Belafonte has woven his folk music from all over the world with his own dis tinctive brand of humor. In the Carnegie Hall album, there was a sing-along number en titled “Matilda” . . . The Greek Theatre concert offers the same type of entertainment in the wild “Zombie Jamboree”. This versatility ranges from a humorous course in philosophy called, “Piy,” to the beautiful “Try to Remember” from the off- Broadway hit, THE FANTASTICS, to marvelous message to parents entitled “Why n’ Why”. In his songbag, Harry Bela fonte has something for every taste. Listen to him. You’ll find him amazing.
