Yarbrough Concert Attendance Poor Students demonstrated their folk music saturation October 18 when only about 1500 showed up to hear the Student Council-sponsored Glen Yarbrough concert. Two years ago. more than 5000 attended a Smothers Brothers show. A statistical interest lag may not be exactly accurate, however, as in previous years concert tickets have been available to the general public. This year they were not. Also, the Yarbrough concert was scheduled at a rather inopportune time from a student's point of view . . . the Monday night after homecoming week-end. All things considered, the concert turned out to be something less than a money-maker for the continuously harrassed Stu- dent Council. The concert itself, while not the best performance ever seen here, was certainly not poor. Yarbrough’s music is not exactly folk or pop in nature but uniquely his own. The sentimental lyricism in his interpretations seems refreshing. Once with the Limelighters, this concert tour was Yarbrough’s first through the midwest as an independent performer. 29
