T entertainment in a coffee house atmosphere HE CABIN Janet McLaughlin lends emotion to her Cabin performance. Bv day if is a place to relax or study with friends, its red-and-white checked tablecloths strewn with open books, empty popcorn bags and cans of soda. At night it is UWEC’s answer to the coffeehouse. Candles propped in wax-dripped wine bottles lend light and atmosphere as patrons sip wine and beer and enjoy genuine coffeehouse entertainment. The Cabin Cafe in Davies Center hosts free performances every weekend ranging from professional talent to campus and local performers, from jazz, folk and blues musicians to comedians and storytellers. One Thursday a month is devoted to an open poetry and prose reading sponsored by UWEC's literary magazine. None of The Above (N.O.T.A.), and open stage opportunities are provided throughout the semester for campus and area talent. The twenty-one acting members of the University Activities Commission’s Cabin Committee are responsible for selecting and contracting performers, operating light and audio systems, and producing and managing every performance. The fall '86 Cabin season was an active and diverse one, kicked off with a music and comedy performance by professional entertainers John Smith and Hans Mayer. Nashville-based singer and songwriter Janet McLaughlin made her debut Cabin performance in mid-Ocober, giving three coffeehouse concerts featuring original songs as well as music by such artists as James Taylor, Billy Joel, and Emmy Lou Harris. Jim Pellingcr, first-prize winner in UW-Madison’s “Starbound ’85 talent contest appeared Nov. 6-8. His show features music ranging from rock to jazz and songs by talented, lesser known writers. A UWEC alumnus returned to the Cabin stage in late November as half of the new musical duo, Moulin Rouge. Music graduate Julie Schrocdcr performed on synthesizer, flute and piano while partner Mark Paffrath played guitar, mandolin, and violin. The final performance of the fall Cabin season was presented by Ryan Peterman, a Chicago-born singer-guitarist. Also performing on harmonica, banjo, and synthesizer, Peterman entertained the crowd with songs from the 1920’s to the present bearing titles such as “Fast Fried Food” and “Livin’ on the Moon”.
