Major Lance
It was nice of the Union
officers to allow those of us who
appreciate music to have a little to
listen to around the same time as
Jam-Up weekend. We have to say
around Jam-Up weekend, because
11:30 Friday morning is not
really in conjunction with Jam-Up
which begins that night. No
matter what the Union officers
try to alibi, except for Hod David,
there is not much music for
Jam-Up.
Hod, with his sensitive music,
and his talent will be an enjoyable
concert for those who like GOOD
MUSIC.
For that matter Ian Tyson and
PRO
Sylvia Flicker, popularly known
as Ian and Sylvia would have been
excellent entertainment for the
evening. But, the Union officers
decided that THEIR music was
most liked by THEIR friends and,
Ian and Sylvia did not fit into the
group. There was an opportunity
to have good music from Ian and
Sylviaibut it was felt they would
not draw. It is a shame to think
that the Union officers feelthereis
not a place for good music in the
entertainment at UNC-C.
We are thankful for having the
talent of Hod David presented for
Jam Up. Especially since we help
pay for the entire weekend.
Jam-Up—Friday
April 25 & 26

This year's Jam-Up. which will

the Soul Sensations, direct from
the Purple Penguin. Carrying out
the beach theme, dress for each

one would wear if at the beach.

Tliis year’s Jam-Up is going to be

Hod David on Friday
Hod David plays a 12-string
jjaitar and a six-string guitar. And
ifor those who do not worship the
(sounds of hard rock or soul noise,
he is all there is to provide MUSIC
Ifor Jam UP weekend. The rest of
|lhe weekend is designated to be
Ithe blare which the unwise call
|‘beach music” and as most people
know; no one listens to the music
it the beach. It is there only to
.make people shout at one
(mother.
I Hod David plays a sensitive
^instrument designed to
jammunicate an emotion. And
tom all that we know of him, he
(plays the instrument well. He has
istudied music extensively, and.
prefers the works from such
(composers as Paul Simon, Jim
iVebb and Miles Davis.
I “Hod seeks, in his concert
Iprogram, to break this barrier (of
(imotions and differing beliefs in
I
personalities) by reducing his
relationship with the audience to
music; music that will transcend
understanding.”
“Through his unique
perceptiveness of the physical and
emotional environment in which
he lives, he is able to bring a yet
unexplored dimension to the
concert stage by presenting a
variety of the best in musical
entertainment. By touching most
levels of experience and feeling.
Hod enables the audience to free
the emotions that normally
separate them from the performer
and allows each member to
participate personally in the true
meaning of the performance.”
“‘Entertainment’ to Hod does
not convey the normally accepted
shallow definition. It is, rather,
the production and exercising of
normally dormant emotions, with
their resultant rebirth.”.
