Last Thursday night, if for some unforeseen reason I was to~be struck ‘ dom by an incurable affliction, or if I was to - be run over by -a Mack truck, -I think ‘I would have left this world a very , very happy man. In no way does this state of. complete contentedness solely reflect upon my living“ upon this pastoral paradise called Prince Edward Island, nor doesit , entirely rest upon the beauty of the young lady I had the pleasure to spend - some tine with Thursday night.

Love extremity of- the eternal world) but I think any accension into the after life should be accarpanied by the back beat blues of the Downchild Blues Band. " Twice in the last six months, I andthe rest of UPEI student body have been treated to one ofthe best solid blues bands to be found anywhere. Superlatives cannot be handed out enough to all the members of the band. ‘ Scme will say that the band plays with the little Showmanship - true enough- or the band members ‘do not partake in~ spectacular leaps of‘ thesnashing of guitars. What is substitued I is solid music and impeccable musiCianship. 'MrADownchild' , Don Walsh, provided some Better [Gnome l i m \. sparkling work on guitar and harmonica. His clown like appearance contrasts well with the seriousness portrayed whenever he picks up his axes; to say he plays them with a vengeance would be an understatement. Vocalist 'Ibny Flaim, whose huge voice matches his huge stature, continued the fine blues tradition that started with Joe. Turner and, in Flaim's case, hasn't ended. Again, the horn section played meticulously, matching unison and solo lines against the steady rhythm section. consisted of tunes that are classics and near classics; "Caledonia", "Flip, Flop, Fly", "Almost", "Got to Keep Your 88's straight", The material bhbs byline C although played by the band, for what must be the millionth time, sounded fresh and exciting, New material was also added; in particular, the song "Road Fever", which is also the title for the bands new album, proved exciting. The one member of the band I have the greatest respect for is Jane Vasey, the pianist. Jane tastefully pounds away at her old upright giving us some scorching solos, and sane fine vocal work. Besides this, she is absolutely the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. To avoid the obvious temptation in turning the remainder of the colurm into an open love letter, let it suffice to say, Jane if you ever want to get married. . . . .
