ON "RICOCHET "Ricochet Days" is Modern English's latest album, a solid improvement over its 1981 debut, "Mesh and Lace," and last year's "After the Snow." "We're growing surely, but slowly. The major difference is 'Ricochet Days' was recorded over a year, between tours and other things We got used to playing them live, experimenting with them, and then went back and remixed them." ON SINGLES: Modem English has a history of slow-moving singles. Last year's "I Melt with You" hit the Top 20 after being out for six months, and the current single, "Hands Across the Sea," seems to be taking the same course. "I do see Modern English as more of an album oriented band. We do need to have singles, but as long as we get the albums sounding really right, it will bode well for the future of Modern English." Gary Graff, Free Press Music Writer ma i Modern English was the epitome of a punk band: None of its members knew how to play instruments.

And Walker was no exception. "I was just a friend. The Urbations perform at Alvin's Friday and Saturday. eft A3 A 12-HOUR FEAST from SUMMER'S MUSICAL PICNir J' MEADOW BROOK MUSIC FESTIVAL 1984 Vi I asked, really, if I got a keyboard and learned to play, could I join.
