Austin American-Statesman from Austin, Texas • 30

C8 Austin American-Statesman Wednesday, July 16, 1986 Music seminar schedule makes you wish you had a clone Review a. less mixture of luminous guitars and harmonies, which seem to flow together almost organically. Songs like Things Don't Change and Sound and the Fury obey the requisite pop song configurations, but seem somehow less rigid than the routine pop song. Plus, you can dance to them. One can dance to Dino Lee and the White Trash Revue as well, although the initial tendency is to stand and gawk.

Las Vegas (or perhaps Juarez) is the city destined to serve as Dino's backdrop, but he goes with the Big Apple like lox and bagels. Lee, the self-proclaimed King of White Trash, is a living testament to the fact that a humble boy with an 18-inch pompadour and a pink polyester jumpsuit can make it in the By John T. Davis Amsflcan-Statesman Staff NEW YORK There are times when you wish you could just have yourself photocopied and be done with it. Monday was such a night, thanks to the folks at the New Music Seminar who arranged for five great bands to be playing simultaneously around Manhattan. While Go Dog Go was working uptbwn at S.I.R., the Fabulous Thunderbirds were headlining a show in midtown at the Felt Forum, and a triple bill of Austin groups was holding forth at the Cat Club down on the East Side.

What to do, what to do. I opted for the T-Birds, which meant missing two of the Austin bands (Bad Mutha Goose sorry, guys) and Go Dog Go But when Bob Dylan is leaning against an equipment case at the side of the stage, waiting to sit in, a reporter kind of feels an obligation to hang around. Dylan first heard tthe band, according to guitarist Jimmie Vaughan, a decade ago, when he came through Austin with the Rolling Thunder Revue. Unfortunately, he did not get to Zeitgeist's performance at the New Music Seminar was all too brief. Song of Austin Contest deadline approaches Comedian to bring special wit to the word-of-mouth reputation.

Whatever else, they are an excellent antidote to the cowboys-and-In-dians stereotypes with which some New Yorkers associate Texas. For their part, Zeitgeist played a set which seemed, in retrospect, all too brief. That's less a comment on their work ethic than to their seam- Paramount The Thursday Noonday Concert Series at Central Presbyterian Church, at Eighth and Brazos streets, continues Thursday with organist Marsha Seale and clarinetist Jenny Lou Pena and friends on July 24.

Tragically, Dino missed the opportunity of a lifetime last week when 200 Elvis imitators kicked up their stacked heels as part of the Liberty Week celebrations. But better late than never. Those who bask in Lee's distinctive aura for the first time almost always miss the tight musical arrangements that form a base for the spectacle. Lee and the Revue made the trip from Texas with two Jam and Jelly Girls for backup vocals and a smoking three-piece horn section.

The result, tightly choreographed, was one part Bride of Frankenstein and three parts James Brown. It was a memorable combination. ness include four round-trip tickets to Los Angeles from TransStar Airlines; a three-night stay at Embassy Suites in Los Angeles; a Chinese necklace and bracelet worth more than $1,000 from Carl Mayer Jewelers; $2,000 in cash awards from Thundercloud Subs; a custom lazer guitar from Erlewine Guitars; a portable electronic keyboard from Hill Country Keyboards; and 1,000 produced and pressed records and a mini stereo from K-98.

The T-Bird's 12-song set was the same meat-and-potatoes blues rock to which Austin fans have grown accustomed, spiced by the savory feeling of finally having a single in the Top 10.

Brantley will be providing keyboards for the band while they tour as an opening act for Bob Seger this summer.

After all, a comedian whose main shtick is lampooning classical music is not apt to go over that well as guest host on the Tonight Show.

Her fans consist of a million or so people who regard her as a private discovery. Not much has been heard from Russell since CBS records collected some of her finest moments into a greatest hits album an item treasured both by Wagnerites and those who know better. Russell is making a farewell tour this fall. (This will be her third or fourth farewell tour, but who's counting?) She will open the Paramount Theater's new Star Series in October and it should not be missed, whether you like Wagner, hate Wagner or only heard of him somewhere. David Guion is another name that may ring only a faint bell for music lovers.

If you pull out a copy of Home on the Range and look at the top, you will learn that he was responsible for the popular arrangement of the folk song. Although Guion, who died in 1981, was a student of pianist Leopold Go-dowsky and produced many works in larger forms, he is best remembered for folk-song arrangements that were on a par with those of Percy Grainger.
