Blue Plate Special There will be a benefit on Monday, May 2, for the Blue Plate Special magazine at the Rockfish Palace. The $2.00 cover will go to the publication, which is edited by Cathy Hestor. There will be poetry by several people, including John Seawright, and a couple of bands playing both accoustic and electric sets. Roger McGuinn R.E.M.'s "jangly guitar" sound is often compared to that of The Byrds. Many journalists have said Peter Buck's style is obviously influenced by Byrds leader Roger McGuinn. Locals will have a chance to see for themselves if folk rock legend Roger McGuinn is the jangly guitar prophet. McGuinn will be playing accoustic sets using his 12 string guitar that, when amplified, was the basis of the Byrds' sound on such hits as "Eight Miles High" and "Mr. Tambourine Man". Over his three decade career, McGuinn has helped explore and shape many new avenues of modem music. He started his career in Chicago at the Old Town School of Folk Music and has now come full circle to become once again a travelling folk musician. Now’s your chance to check out a legend and to judge the R.E.M./Byrds theory for yourself at the Uptown Lounge on Wednesday, May 11.
