Concert for everyone By FRANK WYATT It was everyman's night here in Cullowhee last night as the concert's program featured a trio of diverse groups, Performing to a barely two thirds audience, the first group called Ribbon of San Francisco contributed a half hour of what some term "Folk-rock," The female singing duo, harmonizing as few groups do today, sang the works of Gordon Lightfoot, and John Denver, along with some very melodious original work. Although the audience proved rather restless and unrecep- tive, the Asheville-based duo utilized the acoustical sound to render a pleasant and beautiful sound. Number two on stage came Sweet Thunder, from Nashville, Tennessee with a heavy, driving bluesy style of music. 0- pening their program with a song by Bloodrock, they moved to a series of original songs that made one wonder why they were billed as a "back-up group." Written by the lead guitarist, the trio of songs, including one already recorded on the RCA label, proved that they were destined for professionalism. For the heavy rock lover, they gave a very satisfying show. Finally came the longawaited Gary Puckett and the Union Gap to do "their thing," He quickly rolled back the years and pushed his way through "Woman, Woman" and "Over You." Then struck out into the field of other hit sounds such as the popular Carole King song, "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" and Elton lohn's "Take Me to the Pilot." Backed by the Union Gap which were in every respect professional. Gary Puckett gave a show that was polished and strictly "Top Forty," per. haps the only drawback to Puc- kett's performance was an oftentimes nearly fatal case of "stage ham," but what can be expected after enjoying stardom with a followingprimarilv under 18. All in all though, his performance was, shall we ,ay •'nostalgically" enjoyable and for Cullowhee, a night well spent. ^^^^ Im mwm '~WnKmWmY~WL POUNDING OUT a driving style of hard blues, SWEET THUNDER proved to be a highlight of the evening's concert. Coming from Nashville, they performed with an ability that more than demonstrated the.v were more than a m?re backup group.
