17 Variety The Minneapolis Star Wednesday.Jan.16,1980 3B Big Walter shows us blues are immortal ffi Horton's soft gravelly voice is not the best to be found in the blues world, but what his vocal chords can't say, his harp can. And no matter whether a tune is a reworking of an old jazz number or a classic blues standard, Big Walter infuses it with so much feeling that it's easy to see why the blues remain a part of the music scene in every era. Big Walter Horton will be playing again tonight at the Union Bar, 507 E. Hennepin Ave. WALUASPER Is a University of Minnesota student Intern at The Minneapolis Star.

Lamont Cranston Band (without its horns or regular harp player, Pat Hayes), which superbly backed up Horton's every breath. The group kept interest high on a couple of the veteran bluesman's weaker vocal numbers and prodded him into spirited refrains on others. The evening was entirely Horton's, however, and he used it as an opportunity to introduce the Twin Cities to his incredible range of harmonica styles. Big Walter can make the instrument squawk, purr and roar all in the same song, and in the course of the evening he made it do everything imaginable except imitate Lawrence Welk. 4' 'Fridays' a lot like 'Saturday Night' (Carman, from Page ib) slon columnists from around the nation: ABC plans to televise a new, three-hour "Battlesta- Galactica" movie, possibly leading to a revamped Sunday night science-fiction series.

Lome Greene will star in the TV movie, called "Galactica 1980," but most of the other members of the original series cast have been jettisoned. Another, and much different, revival is "Omnibus," the cultural series from the mid-1950s. ABC will show two prime-time "Omnibus" specials this spring, Thomopoulos said. A host has not yet been chosen, but Allstair Cooke, the original host, is not being considered. Dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov will star in an April special called "IBM Presents Baryshnikov on Broadway." Joining Baryshnikov will be Liza Minnelli, Nell Carter of "Ain't Misbehavin' and the national company of "A Chorus Line." Sometime during the 1980-81 season, Jane Fonda will star in an "ABC Theatre" presentation of Harriette Arnow's book, "The Dollmaker."

The past few years alone have seen the rapid rise and subsequent decline of Southern rock, country-rock, heavy metal and, now, disco. But the blues are always with us. Chicago bluesman Big Walter Horton showed why in an appearance Tuesday night at the Union Bar. Blues music is versatile and always packed with emotion. With his blues harp (a heavy duty kind of harmonica developed to withstand blues musicians' energetic blowing), Horton covered everything from "La Cucaracha" to "Blueberry Hill" but never strayed from the gut level feelings the blues are famous for.

Another reason for the lasting popularity of blues music is that the audience can share in the emotions and energy of the performer. That was certainly the case with Horton's show. He had people dancing in the aisles, tapping the beat out with their fingers, and clapping along on his solos. Horton has been playing the blues for most of his 63 years, and along the way he has learned a few things about keeping an audience engaged. He began with a jug band in Memphis and then moved to Chicago and the jazz bands of Jim-mi Lunceford and Earl Hines.

After that, he began playing the style of music that would someday be called "Chicago Blues," and wound up blowing his harp in the greatest of all the Chicago bands, that of Muddy Waters. But the dynamic performance at the Union Bar cannot be credited solely to the Windy City. A talented but underexposed local harp player, Lynwood Slim, warmed up the crowd for Big Walter. And that energy was sustained by the local I Today, your (mother, wife, sister, girlfriend, aunt) won't be at home, at the office, at the dentist or at the movies.
