Doc Severinsen Heart Soul by David Shaffer an operating room for 2 hours. As the Electrocardio- gram “spiked,” Jazz, and Doc Severinsen, came alive! While the sounds of rock and jazz became one, its rhythm reached out to you and pulled you inside where your own heartbeat could match up with that of the band. It was clear that this concert was reaching across the ages as people from seven to seventy became lost in the sounds. Doc’s mastery of his instrument became clear as he played the song that embodied the spirit of his band, Xebron, an imagi- nary place where anyone can go to forget their worries, that proved true as everyone forgot time and space and basked in the heat of music. Doc was one of us as he spoke between the tunes, funny and friendly. A man we learned to like very quickly. With all pizzazz possible, he captured us for that brief time. Xebron consisted of four members, Tim Rizzo on guitar, Jeff DeAngelo on bass, Richard Aims at the drums. Both Jeff and Ron were in the spot light as solo artists in their own right. Jeff played a composition of his own, ‘“Ankles’” and Ron wowed us with a drum solo that must have rocked the street lights down- town. It was hot music alright, but music that made you feel like you belonged. Doc held us for that moment. True, it was just a moment, but a great one. One we won't soon forget. And with a drop of his hand, the “Doc,’”’ was gone. OC) n Thursday, Oct. 24, the Student Center Gym became David Shatter David Shatfer David Shaffer 12 Campus Life

New York City Swing David Shaffer Let It Rip by David Shaffer ate: Saturday, March 15; Time: 9:00 pm, Place: BCC Gym; Atmosphere, WOW!!! Remember how your mother al- ways said, “Wear clean ... you never know if you'll have an accident.” This night it was time to wear clean socks. WHY? Because it was inevitable, when New York City Swing hit, YOU were going to kick off your shoes and dance; and dance we did. This band was hot and cool at the same time. Faculty, Staff, and Students became one with the sounds of GOOD music. The seven musicians that make up NYC Swing were clean, clear, and crisp. A sound anyone related to. Mac, “THANKS.” Just when | get to wondering about you, you go and pull off something this great and | have to re-evaluate you all over again. | took my mother to this concert, along with Pat Tabor, our student trustee; (they’re pushing 60), they danced right around me! This band stretched out to reach across the barriers of age. | personally am B20 they played Broome again and hope to see them next year. Hey, pal, keep your toes clean!
