thin, and has long brown hair that covers all but one thin strip of face. That which isn't covered by hair stares through steel-rimmed blue glasses, and smiles a lot when he's in a good mood. Where is Rock going? ! where IS it going? . . . We're trying to McLaughlin and Harvey Mandel. porary jazz explained the drummer with long hair as he sat across the play progressive rock, he said of his group, Sweet Rush. We're TRYING.

What I mean by that is total improvisation at a give pro- gression. Mark Stanford started playing drums at eleven because he was intrigued by African rhythmatics. He has played with a ntunber of local rock groups and is now working with me in a band that as he puts it has a variety of styles. Bob fGarcia, Mitt-y '70, now at SJSl is working with his stuff , I'm working with avante-garde, and I don't know what you're doing. What I want to do is play Black jazz, the term Black jan means the original foundation which so many people took and screwed . . . It would take a whole page to list all the people who have influenced meg I would say Philly jo jones and Cootie Williams. Of the state of music today, I want the sound to mellow, the sound is mellowing from acid rock. I like music because it me ans audio-emotion, it's the only art that can tamper with the inside and fluctuate the nervous system. Bill Patterson is not you're typical idea of a musician. A solo folk gui- tarist-singer who jams a lot with friends , he is NOT generally seen sitting in the hallways, guitar in hand, harp in mouth, holding im- promptu folk-blues sessions.

He does look a lot like a cowboy though when he talks out of the side of his mouth, or when he grins and says, really whaddya want to interview Con't. p. 45 4 L. 7' A' Wy' 'W M Ray Brien Andy Brady Tom Terry Townsend Torres Trevino Turner Vanderbosch Vane Nh- B :L 4' -74' T f'n I 'f 3
