“American Garage”
Pat Metheny (.roup
(ECM)
Pat Metheny, for the
uninitiated, is a superlatively
talented jazz guitarist with
unlimited ability and purity of
expression. “American
Garage” is ethereal, but not
formless; Metheney’s com
positions are highly struc
tured, and hla overall sound
has a taste that must be
savored.

They seek ghosts, haunted
houses, and other supernatural
happenings. They are experts on
such hair-raising topics as wit
chcraft, exorcisms, and voodoo.
Eerie experiences Involving
seances, reincarnation, and curses
are common in their lives.
They are Ed and Lorraine
Warren, who for the last 33 years
have studied first-hand the strange
world of the occult.
The Warrens have investigated
supernatural phenomena all across
North America and Europe and
have conducted intensive research
on over 3000 cases of reported
instances of unexplainable occult
happenings.
Ed Warren is recognized as one
of only seven leading
demonologists in the country. He is
head consultant for the Psychic
Research Institute in Hamdon, Ct.,
for Paranormalogy and
Demonology. He and his wife have
both taught courses in these sub
jects at Connecticut state colleges
and high schools.
They have been called
“America’s top ghost hunters,”
of six late masses which represent
one of the high points in the history
of sacred choral music. The work
receives its name from the cir
cumstances surrounding its
composition. In the last decade of
the 18th century, at the time of the
writing of this mass, Vienna, where
Haydn was living, was under a
constant threat from Napolean’s
invading army. This threat is
portrayed in Haydn’s use of
militaristic trumpets and drums in
the orchestral accompaniment to
several portions of the mass, most
notably in the “Dona Nobis
Pacem’’ (“grant us peace").
The performance of the Concerto
in C will be the first such per
formance with orchestra by a West
Georgia student. Miss Clark, from
second album, features the
requisite over-busy guitars
and boozy vocals so dear to
Southern-rock fans. In fact,
lead singer Danny Joe Brown
practically exudes good ol’ boy
macho all through an album’s
worth of songs celebrating the
travelin’ life, roadside bars,
and cheatin’ women.
However, Molly Hatchet are
definitely better at this genre
than the other current
pretenders, the guitar army
Blackfoot.

Georgia and give a special
presentation on one of their moot
publicized cases, The Amityville
Horror, the chilling story that has
been the subject of a number one
best selling book and a popular
motion picture.
The horror began on Nov. 13,
1974, in the small affluent com
munity of Amityville, Long Island,
when the news that one of the
residents had brutally murdered
his entire family leaked out. The
suspect, 23-year old Ronald DeFeo,
was token to trial in what was the
most grisly mass murder in New
York’s history. He claimed that he
had been "possessed” by
something in their home to commit

with a heady jazz-rock blend.
The result is at times sym
phonic, and at times jarringly
futuristic. This somewhat
more intellectual music must
be Rundgren's way of un
winding from the rigors of
producing Meat Loaf’s
records.

was bent on their destruction.
