Soloists put talents together to create a folksy blend
By BRYAN BURNS
Staff writer
Sarah Levin and Jamie Block will
be bringing a folk sound to ttie
Union Cabaret Wednesday night.
This is their first time at the
Cabaret together, but both are
experienced musicians who have
appeared there with other groups.
Block has played at the Cabaret
with a rock band, the Highlanders,
but he says this will be his first
time with only two voices and a
guitar. Levin performed there
with the Loreieis early last semes
ter. She also sang with the now
disbanded ensemble, Adjustable
wenches.
Block and Levin began playing
together last semester and
they've been working the "Coffee
house scene" including such local
places as the Hardback Cafe on
Columbia Street. Starting out
wasnt too difficult for Block and
Levin because they already knew
many of the same songs.
The duo plays contemporary
folk music and folk classics by
Dylan, Cat Stevens and Michael
Hedges. But Levin says her favor
ites are by Simon and Carfunkel.
"Since everybody knows these
songs, it's a real crowd pleaser."
Levin and Block are also working
on some a cappella music and a
few originals, which have been a
challenge for Sarah, since Jamie is
the only one with experience in
writing music
Levin will be graduating this
semester, so Block is working on
performing solo. And Levin says
she will definitely keep singing
after college. She insists that
"before I die, I'm going to cut an
album."
Also appearing at the Cabaret
this week is rock band Dillon Fence.
That one costs $2, but Block and
Levin's show is free. Also, dont
forget the dance tomorrow night,
featuring so many kinds of music,
everyone is sure to hear his
favorites.

thoughts
Little Boy Blue and mail suffer in this cruel month
By ELIZABETH ELLEN
Staff Writer
Remember all that stuff I wrote
a few weeks back about January
being the crudest month? Forget
it February is the real thing, a gold
medal winner in the Cruelty Olym
pics, the Great Dismal Swamp of
months. January was a veritable
cheeseburger in paradise by
comparison.
Alternate interpretations often
get me in trouble. Consider the
caption "Carrboro Post Mark"
above a mail slot in the Carrboro
post office. One might think the
slot was for local mail. An alternate
interpretation might be that all
mail put in that slot would indeed
be stamped with a postmark
saying Carrboro, which would be
desirable considering the letter
was mailed in Carrboro. Some
Carrboro postal worker going
through the local pile cursed my
name when he or she came across
my letter addressed to Atlanta.
Hidden connections undercut
the apparent randomness of exist
ence. There are good reasons why
a certain type of bean shares its
name with a particular town in
Peru and another in Ohio, but I
have no idea what those reasons
are.
Who woke up Little Boy Blue,
dragged him away from his hay
stack, dressed him up in blue frills,
and made him pose for a portrait?
Why is the painting called "Blue
Boy," instead of "Little Blue Boy"
or even the more accurate "Little
Boy Blue'? And why does every
one's parent own a copy of this'
foppish portrait?
Boy George is trying to adopt
a baby, according to recent tab
loids, inside sources say that being
adopted by the Boy is "every
infant's nightmare." I prefer an
alternate interpretation, that
eating great mounds of lima beans
is what keeps babies up screaming
all night
Pianist George Winston is the
proverbial absent-minded profes
sor, a walking LL Bean catalogue,
a balding innocent lost in space, a
musical hermit harmonically in
tune with the woods of Maine. He
is a latter-day Impressionist pain
ter working in the medium of
sound.
Winston Churchill, whose family
name is a coded version of "Chapel, an early dream entitled "Every letting him get the cows out of February. And not even bovines
Hill," stuttered. His parents blamed infant's Nightmare." They cured the corn once and for all, which have any business being out in the
this impediment on flashbacks to him by buying him a horn and was good for the cows since it was corn during the cruelest month.
