Celebrate me home' Pop-singer Kenny Loggins entertains in Moody Coliseum Nov. 1. 50X Kenny Loggins It , Keep the Fire Burning was exactly what pop artist Ken- ny Loggins did Nov. 1 with the crowd of 3,000 plus in Moody Coliseum. t Loggins provided the crowd with IW hours of upbeat entertainment with songs including What a Fool Believesj' Christopher Robin and I'm So in Love with You. The crowd called the artist back for two encores and en- thusiastically sang along to such hits as Celebrate Me Home and This is It. Loggins apparently expected Abilene fans to be stoic because after the concert he said he was pleasantly surprised with the crowd. Loggins and his band provided the audience with a pro- fessional show, although there were minor problems with microphones. At one point Loggins got a bit aggravated as he searched for a guitar pick and a member of the technical crew had to bring one on stage. But the assembly in Moody loved the show and didn't seem to notice the small problems on stage. The Students' Association lost more than 35,000 on the concert, causing the formation of the Concert Evaluation Committee to review concerts and the effects they have on ACU and the students. But despite the financial loss most viewed the performance as a great success. - Andrea Cannedy' ' ' Q-new
