'6Friends', - 6'Harper's Bizarre Capture Audiences The sound of soft rock was apparent in the two concerts presented 1 the fall which brought to TWC two of the best received Celebrity eries ever. In October the Friends of Distinction brought to the campus neir smooth soul and proceeded to live up to their name, producing a istinctive sound that received the first standing ovation in the Celeb- ity Series' history. Not only did the audience move with the Friends,'i but the Friends moved in and out ofthe audience, making definite contact vith TWC. The group of Harry Elston, Floyd Butler, Jessica Cleaves, nd Charlene Gibson was backed up by five musicians, a bass and lead uitarist, a drummer and a Conga player, and an organist who directs and arranges the music. Included in the repertoire ol' the Friends'i were Grazing in the Crassf' Circles, and My Cenerationf' The largest crowd to attend a TWC concert was entertained hx the Harper's Bizarrefi This group showed an unusual ability to coininun- icate with the audience, through a diverse selection ol' songs such as Slow Downg You Move too Fast, The 59th Street Bridge. Miy- thing Goes, and Chattanooga Choo-Choo. By using a sedate but humorous pattern. the audience was well aware that they were being entertained by the weird players ot' string instruments: Dick Yount, John Peterson, Ted Templeman. and Dick Scoppettone. 27
