Spur Pen Good Pro BY CHUCK CROMER Entertainment Writer Two of the best and most professional groups ever to per form on the USC Campus were at the Golden Spur this past week. The Whiz Kids and Edmonds and Curley highlighted the Golden Spur Extravaganza Week that lasted from January 14 through January 19. The Whiz Kids were phenomenal . The group con sisted of just two musicians, a drummer and a keyboard player. The sound they produced, however, made one think there were five musicians instead of two. The keybaord player played up to four instruments at one time. With his feet he played footpedals on the organ producing a rhythm bass sound for the show. With one hand he played a saxophone while with the other he played the organ and synthesizer. All this time a memmorex bank on his moog had been keeping a steady rhythm sound behind them.

Formers: fess ional Their show consisted of both original material that will be'forth coming on their first album and material from such artists as Traffic and Carol King. The music was never too loud and the only disappointment of the packed audience came when they quit for the night. Edmonds and Curley were the highlight of the week. This comedy duo performed in the Spur on Wednesday and Thursday nights. They provided the audience with something that few of us experience any more laughter. This improvisational team has made numerous TV appearances on shows such as Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin and Mike Doulgas. For two nights this comedy team destroyed the audience. They did two sets each night with each one lasting about fifty minutes. Their material mostly dealt with everyday events. Some material included knocks on doctors, den tists, typical college students and television shows. Drt Throws I wish I could find an antidote.

Wishing to find out the attitudes of the groups towards the people of USC, I talked with each individual performer before , during, and after their shows. One could feel an honest sincerity In their words when they said that they loved being here. That is a rare quality few musicians have today. Good groups, good attitudes, and good audiences--what else could we ask for? Their first night in the Spur, Edmunds and Curley almost ran the nite club dry. Only a keg of dark beer remained. The second night, the Spur was so packed that ventilation became a small problem. So many people were there that the Union TV com mittee, which was filming the performance for future use. Rock Back The first cut on the LP, "Dancing with Mr. D." is a disgrace to the word "talent." Jagger's craoking voice sounds as if he borrowed Alice Cooper's boa constricter and crammed it down his throat. The word "dancing" is repeated so many times my brain has learned the "jit terbug." One of the best cuts on lthe album is "100 Years Ago" which I truly like. Its premilse reminds me of "Wild Horses." The tune is very similar but the lyrics are unfortunately new. The first stanza starts out, "Went walking through the world the other day." For a brief second I thought I was listening to Rod McKuen. Jagger should have stuck with horses rather than turning to goats. The next cut, "Coming Down Again" provides some flavors from the past--very mellow and subtle. One thing irks me about Jagger on this LP: repition. "Coming down", "Comingdown"--if I went any further down I wouldn't be able to cut off the record player. As for side two of the album- - ZIP!! The stones have rolled smooth and easy for the last few years but now it seems the world is getting a bit too bumpy.
