offeehouse offers unusual refreshment The first order of business must be to explain to the reader just what coffeehouse denotes. After all, just how does one get an evening of raucous laughter, off-color humor, and musical acts singing songs ranging from Elton John to who-knows-what out of a seemingly innocent word like coffeehouse ? The first conception about coffeehouse would be that of a charming little hide-a-way cafe in which one could unwind after the pressure of a full Hendrix week and get away from the restless, and usually drunken, Hendrix parties come weekend. One Junior Terry Bridges brings a different beat to Coffeehouse with his bongos. Cigar-smoking emcees Roby Brock and Prof. Bob Meri- weather seem to have their act together. Student Life imagines sitting back and enjoying a simple refreshment. Well maybe that's it...refreshment. And to assure any virgin-pure reader among us, there is nothing more refreshing that walking into Hulen ballroom to the antics of emcees like Roby Brock or the Sean 8L John duo and the hard- rockin' , fast-talkin' , ever- ready-to-please talents of co- median Rusty Baughman, singer Cynthia Sexton, mad- scientist Dr. Warfield Teague and son, David, or the famous Cor maybe infamousj campus bands. Each gave the audience all he had. The first coffeehouse is always quite the experience for the freshman who never know quite what to expect.

Sounds almost sexual, doesn't it? By winter term, everyone had set his expectations high. We1l...to be brutally honest, no one walked away unfulfilled. The music by our very own campus bands provided a wide variety of tunes ranging from original material from the Face Habits to well-loved perform- ances by several unnamed bands. Showcases included the theatrics of James Hayes, a ballad by Cynthia Sexton and, to top it off, a rather physical contribution from Marty Gage. All-in-all, one could, should, say that coffeehouses are a noble tradition. Where else can a poor Hendrix soul look deep inside himself to find the ability and nerve to stand before a bellowing, cat-calling mass of Hendrixians and give the performance of his life. Stop and consider this, one day we may be able to say- I knew him when...
