MUSICAL ENDEAVORS...It always amazes
me to see the young talent that continuously
flourishes around our growing city. There are
musicians here that I have followed for many
years, and it has been a pleasure to see and
experience their growth. These musicians whose
musical endeavors have taken them to all
:• corners of this country and whose time and
efforts to that end have been judiciously concen
: trated, are giving the benefit of their knowledge
t and wisdom to younger musicians. It is this
j unselfish attitude plus the ability possessed by
:• these individuals that has made Charlotte’s
.; music scene great.
I had the opportunity
:to be in the presence of
i^some of these musical
wizards recently during
a jam session at the
iDouble Door Inn on In
independence Blvd. In
cluded in this group of
.players were Michael
.Porter on flute, Bryan
[Paris on steel piano, J.
Gerard Benson on bass,
ijjerry McJenkins on
;percussions, Vincent
^Pope on Guitar, Juici
Carter on piano and sax and Matt * reeman or
strumpet. These dudes gave real solid perfor
•mances on Such original tunes as “Osayea”
j written by Porter, "2176” written by Carter and
i“Chant of a Long Time Ago” written by Parris.
> Whenever you want to hear some real original
sfunky music, keep in touch with “What’s Hap
i^pening,” and we’ll tell you who? what? when?
sand where to cut into these local musicians. By
s the way, the Astrology Lounge on Mint St. hosts a
-jazz jam every Sunday night featuring a variety
;of local talent.
BREAKFAST FUN...The following Johnson C.
j Smith students were served a very delicious
breakfast recently at the home of Mrs. Fannie
Hargrave of 414 Martin St., after which they
• attended worship services at the First United
Presbyterian Church. Karen Bryant, Debbie
Richardson, Laurence Falkner, Donald Nichol
son and Albert Turner.
COMPANY PARTY...The underwriting De
partment of Allstate Insurance Company, cele
• brated the winning of the regional Underwriting
Excellance Award last Saturday night at Carmel
; Country Club. The elaborate event started at 7
with a cocktail hour, and ended at 12 after all of
the participants had danced the night away to
the live music of a group from Greensboro,
N.C.
The Underwriting Excellance award is presen
ted each year by the company to the underwrit
ing department that registers the fewest errors
over a period of time. The last time Charlotte
won the award was in 1971. So they were really
ready for this function. Some of the guests for
this ball were Greg and Marilyn Johnson, Calvin
Vance, Del Stinson, Jerri Wilson. Tip and
Montiez Mangrum, Larry and Patricia Cope
land, Thomas and Janet Springs, Bobby and
Eloise Ethridge and Latham and Barbara Phil
lips.
The menu for the evening consisted of fruit
salad, lettuce salad, filet mignon, baked potat
oes, string beans, pie, wine and coffee.
BIRTHDAY TIME...Henry Clay Gaddy is very
proud to have friends like John and Earlene
Robinson. The Robinson’s of 5901 Ferndale Place
used their beautiful abode to have a birthday
; party for brother Clay. The party was held last
Saturday night from 10 until early in the
morning. A number of friends and relatives
attended this disco type party among them were
Novell Gaddy, Clays wife, Sandra Gaddy, Le
vander Gaddy, Robbie Peoples, George Peoples,
Rich and Ruby McCrory, George and Marie
Williams. Janyce Robinson, Jerry Robinson, Lee

visia v 11 ,i.a rAKi Y...Saturday night was a

-ness was a boss party held in the club house of
the Vista Villa apartment complex. This prac
tically all night affair was hosted by Brad
Holland along with two very lovely hostesses
Karen Wilson and Jackie Hughes. Ted Walker
