"Stillwater" is a group
of seven young men in
their twenties who are well
on their way to success in

student at the Chat

they spent one night in

the rock music field. They
are all from the Middle
Georgia area, with Bobby
Golden calling Perry
home. The other six are Al
Scarborough, Jimmy Hall,
Sebie Lacey, Bob Spear
man, Rob Walker and
Mike Causey. Each is an
integral member of the
group sharing the lead on
vocals and each trying his
hand at composing songs
for the group to perform.
When they first started
three years ago they
played a lot of other
people's songs but now
they have evolved into a
prolific song writing group
that sticks to its own
compositions. They are
currently on a tour of the
Southeastern states and
this will keep them oc
cupied until Christmas.
Then for New Year's Eve
they plan to come back to
the Middle Georgia area
for a big party for their
friends and supporters.
I do not know all of the
members of the group but I
did spend a few hours a few
days ago talking with
Bobby Golden and learning
more about "Stillwater". I
had heard a little bit about
them before I met Bobby
and I knew that they had a
record, "Just Can't Show
It", that had gotten a lot of
airplay on the local radio
stations. I didn't know,
however, that they were as
successful as they are.
Bobby told me about the
group's success in getting
dates in local clubs and
eventually being picked up
by an agency for booking
on the concert circuit.
They have played different
clubs all over the South
and look forward to putting
out an album in the spring
of 76.
If you have a precon
ception of rock musicians
being long haired, semi
retarded, drug addicted,
no account hippies, then
you should meet Bobby
Golden. He is one of the
most articulate young men
that I have had the
pleasure to meet. He is in a
business where the
chances of success are
slim but his eyes are wide
open to all of the pitfalls
both professional and
social that can hit a young
performer on the road. He
has a strong background in
the fundamentals of music
that he acquired in three
and a half years of college
education. Right now he
and the other members of
"Stillwater" are paying
their dues by hitting all of
the clubs they can to give
them exposure.
Several years from now
when they are on top,
people will talk about them
and call them an overnight
success. That seems to be
the way it always is In the
entertainment business. It
will probably provide the
members of this group
with a good laugh. They
know what it is costing
them on the way to the top
but they feel that it is
worth it. Duke Golden
thinks so too and that Is
why he Is helping his son
and his co-musicians in
any way he can.

The Salvation Army.
People from a diversity
of backgrounds, young or

recipients of the Salvation
Army's universal concern
because the miseries of life
make no discrimination.
The Salvation Army is a
good friend to older people
who need a life link to the
world. It is a sturdy friend
to lean on for men and
women who have lost their
way in a haze of alcohol. It
is a friendly neighbor to
children who need more
attention than they get at
home.
The Salvation Army
offers the priceless gift of
friendship to all mankind
all year round whatever
the need. When disaster
strikes, be it flood, fire,
earthquake, or tornado,
the Salvation Army is
there providing services
with food, clothing,
medical attention and
solace. This phase was
brought close to home
recently when the tornado
struck Fort Valley. The
Houston County Salvation
Army was on the scene
within two hours after the
tornado struck. They
worked around the clock
for four days serving the
victims, civil defense
workers, police, and clean
up workers. Over 4,000
meals and snacks were
served. In addition, 582
individuals received
