It worked out i i 1 fund," Frey said in a interview during an airport layover. "I'm really lucky and very thankful. I got to act in the best new drama series on TV, had a hit record and the biggest movie of last year.

And it's all rekindled and started new interest in all the music I've been making. The 'Allnighter" has sort of been born again." Frey, also a guitarist-keyboardist and one of the founders of the Eagles, embarked on a solo career when the band broke up in 1981. His debut LP, "No Fun Aloud," went gold and spawned the hit singles, "The One You Love" and "I Found Somebody." However, his follow-up album, "The Allnighter," was rejected by Elektra-Asylum for not being commercial enough. He switched labels and had it released on MCA Records last summer. Michael Mann, the executive producer for "Miami Vice," contacted Frey after hearing "Smuggler's By Walter Berry Associated Press Writer PHOENIX, Ariz.

Singer-songwriter Glenn Frey bases most of his material on misadventure and misfortune, but everything's coming up megabucks for him these days. He has a hit song in "The Heat Is On" from "Beverly Hills Cop," he made his acting debut last February in TV's critically acclaimed "Miami Vice" and starred in an episode based on his best-selling song, "Smuggler's Blues." Now Frey has just come off his first major tour since 1981, with drummer Michael Huey, bassist Bryan Garofalo, guitarist Duncan Cameron and two keyboard players. The 36-year-old musician headlined shows in eight cities and is now in the middle of 30 dates as opening act for singer Tina Turner. "You don't want to count your money until it's sent in, but I think this will probably pad my drinking Blues" on the radio and got him to appear as an airplane pilot in a plot built around drug trafficking. "It's a nice diversion, working in a different medium like that," Frey said.

"I'll stick to music and what I do well. But you keep mixing things up and nothing ever gets dull." Frey said he's working on a song for the show's opening episode called "You Belong to the City." "Smuggler's Blues" originally was intended as the soundtrack to "Snowblind," a novel he purchased the movie rights to three years ago. His involvement with "The Heat Is On" also was coincidental. "I went to the screening of 'Beverly Hills Cop' and all the heavies of the music industry were there George Duke, Bobby Womack, Ste- vie Wonder I looked around and said, 'Hey, no way I'm going to get anything on this Frey recalled.

The finale provided a suitable lead-in for her husband's set a one-hour, country-rock assault. The 48-year-old Jennings opened with a hard-driving rendition of Neil Young's "Are You Ready For the Country?" a move that exemplified his flair for borrowing and interpreting material. Dressed in jeans, boots, a black jacket and the ever-present black hat, Jennings rocked into "Rainy Day Woman" before offering his hit "Luckenbach, Texas." His grizzled appearance aptly fit his tough-guy legend, though he appeared a bit softer than he used to in his hell-raising days of yore. The crowd reeled to his hit ballad "Amanda." Following a 30-minute intermission, Willie Nelson, dressed in his traditional running shoes, jeans and bandana, and sporting a "Pittsburgh is No.

Four of London's top shows will be in the lineup for the Nov. 2-10 trip.

Among the top shows being considered are: "Starlight Express," London's biggest musical hit, by Andrew Lloyd Webber of "Cats," "Evita" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" fame. "Guys and Dolls," which recently moved to the West End from the National Theater, where it was oriSLof its most successful musical productions in that famous theater's history. "Wild Honey," starring Ian KeHan, Broadway's original star of "Amadeus," at the National Trieste? of Great Britain. Bedford ready to wrap up summer Show Plane a in Non Smoking Area The sightseeing tour will include a visit to Canterbury, one of the oldest and most historic sites in England. A highlight will be a visit to its famous cathedral, which was founded in 597 A.D.

Tour members will be based at the Hotel Inter-Continental one of London's most luxurious hotels, overlooking beautiful Hyde Park. Dinners at three of London's top restaurants will be either before or after the theater depending upon the starting time of the performance. Show Plane members will fly to London direct from Greater Pittsburgh International Airport on a British Airways jumbo jet. Price of the nine-day tour is $1,595 per person, double occupancy.

The smaller, weekday events were frequented largely by local patrons. Although none of the events have been rained out, Brourman says that for the first three weeks the persistent threat of rain may have put a damper on attendance. "The average person comes-from about 150 miles round-trip," he says, "and they come to be in the country. So if the weather is threatening, they think twice." In collaboration with the French Cultural Service in New York, this year's festival has had a theme of French culture. There was an emphasis on works by French composers, Debussy and Ravel, a French THIS YEAR.

"I'm planning on cutting a couple of things with Dave Edmunds in England and hopefully also work again with Keith Forsey, the guy who helped do 'The Heat Is And I'm still writing with Jack Tempchin. It seems like he and Don Henley are the two people I have the best chemistry with." Tempchin, who wrote the Eagles' hit, "Peaceful Easy Feeling," collaborated with Frey for all 10 cuts of "The Allnighter." Henley and Frey helped the Eagles sell more than 50 million albums worldwide in the 1970s and win four Grammy awards by co-writing such smash singles as "Best of My Love," "Hotel California," "One of These Nights" and "Tequila Sunrise."

HARMAR CINEMA Hormorvillo RAINBOW CINEMA Whits Oak THE BEST DISNEY By Jeff Sewald After wading through a bevy of pickup trucks in the Civic Arena parking lot, it didn't take a mule kick to the head to realize that Saturday night was really "country night" in Pittsburgh. With "outlaw" tunes emanating from in-dash stereos and prtables alike, it was indisputable that, to the 9,222 fans who eventually found their way from their tailgates to their seats inside the arena, the triple bill of Jessi Colter, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson was indeed the country music event of the season. Arid with the introduction of Miss Colter (who doubles in real life as Mrs. Jennings), the show began with a roar. Sporting a growling, honky-tonk voice, Colter fronted her husband's band for a total of 20 minutes, interspersing her lively set with just enough ballads to keep things even.

Accompanying herself on electric piano, Colter eased into her hit from 1975, "I'm Not Lisa," before bounc- film festival, a display of French art and a party with French cuisine. Brourman says that they will probably choose a different culture each year. In the future they also hope to turn the festival into more of a community, like a small Chautauqua, where people will stay longer than just a day or a weekend. Brourman maintains that Bedford has a unique advantage for people in outlying areas. "It's close enough to come for a weekend, but far enough to come for vacation," he says.

Sunday's final concert begins at 3 p.m. The Pittsburgh Ballet Theater performances are Friday at 6 p.m. and Saturday at 4 p.m. For information, call (814) 623-9001. SHOWCASE CINEMAS WEIRD SCIENCE BACK TO THE FUTURE Pie im.

With a rousing version of "Whiskey River," Nelson began strongly as he worked his way into a re-appearance by Jennings for duets of "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" and "Good Hearted Woman." A farewell hug between the two followed and from that point on, the energy of the performance steadily diminished.

As far as appearances go, Nelson looked haggard. His every move appeared tentative, as he was obviously more comfortable with the less-demanding ballads, such as "Stardust" and "Always on My Mind." A lackluster cover of "Amazing Grace" (I will praise the day that this song is sung for the last time) made for big yawns. While "On the Road Again" sparked some life into the second portion of Nelson's two-hour performance, the end result was musically flat and aesthetically dull. You'd have been better off listening to his records. DENIS Ml.

The critically acclaimed orches-trafweomposed of 80 international musicians, is part of the Bedford Springs Festival for the Performing -Arts. The festival crowns its fourth season Sunday with a performance by French pianist Georges Pluder-raaoher. The weekend's program offers Friday and Saturday evening performances by the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater. The Bedford festival, which began July 6, has featured more than 50 events, including symphonic perfor-ma5fes, guest appearances by soloists such as Andre Michel-Schub and Mimi Lerner, several chamber mu-sic concerts per week, and an art show, as well as poetry readings and lsotwes on art and politics.

Surveying the season, director Jacques Brourman is pleased, but still hoping for more growth in the future. "It's going to take a few more years," he says, "before the festival rejilly hits some kind of stride."
