On Friday, May 10, 1991, rapper Rob Base highlights Six Flags Over Mid-America's Beach Party to open the park's new attraction Tidal Wave. Base grew up in Harlem's Lincoln Projects listening to hiphoe and eventually began playing block parties and the local YMCA with his first partner D.J. E-Z Rock. With the release of his first album in 1988, "It Takes Two," Base made his debut on the rap scene. This platinum-selling album boasted three hit singles including "It Take Two."

Barnhill was born in Turkey, Texas, the hometown of legendary bandleader Bob Wills, and much of his music, such as "Your Old Flame," has a Western Swing sound. When Barnhill was in his teens the family moved to Nashville where his father is a music publisher and producer. After graduating from Nashville's Belmont College with a music business degree, the younger Barnhill signed on as the headline act at the Nashville Palace and soon, although barely into his 20's, cut his debut album with Capitol Records. "There isn't any particular sound we were going said.

"I think my sound stems from all those years of listening to people like Haggard and Jones and then taking some of what Bob WiJJs did with his band, which is still viable today. My music is a combination of the three of them and my imagination." Singing the Western Swing and throwing in bluegrass rhythms, honky tonk two steps, country boogie beats, and heartbreaking ballads, Barnhill's records include "She's As Good As Gone," "Any Ole Time," and "Chill Of The Early Fall."

Keep your basic pieces all in one color scheme say, two solid, neutral colors. You can spark them up with bright, patterned accessories.

"The key is to keep things simple," say Penelope Naylor, author of The Woman's Guide to Business Travel. "My travel clothes are all in blacks and whites, which can be casual or dressy. For the tropics, I pack mostly whites; for cold climates, a black jacket, skirt and slacks with white tops. And lots of red accents." Once you've decided on your colors, pick classic shapes in lightweight fabrics and layer them over each other in different ways to go from daytime to evening. Good rule of thumb: If one piece doesn't work with at least three others, leave it behind.

Remember to include what you're wearing on the plane in your total wardrobe. For instance, if you're traveling in a jacket, blouse and slacks, you should pack a skirt, sweater, dress and another blouse. 3. Plan Your Fabrics. The experts recommend high-quality natural fibers and synthetic blends.

Belts, scarves and jewelry take up hardly any room and give a multiple of looks. Pamela Fiori likes "loads of bright, baubley costume jewelry not expensive pieces that could be lost or stolen." She also takes large, printed cotton squares that can work as shawls and pareos.

Roll soft clothes, such as lingerie, and use to cover the remaining bottom of the bag. 2. Interfold To Prevent Wrinkles. This is the method the experts at Samsonite recommend. "Do You Know You Are My Sunshine," "Who Am I to Say," "How To Be A Country Star," Baby Mine," "One Takes The Blame," "Guilty," "Flowers On The Wall," "Elizabeth," "My Only Love," "Class of '57," "Don't Wait On Me" and "Hello, Mary Lou."
