You know, one of those soft lights and warm words affairs. Well if you need some background music (but you are not going to be listening to it closely) then may I suggest an album entitled, simply "Lucy Simon". THE SIMON name is not exactly unknown to music fans. When you hear it, though, probably you think of Carly, or possibly Joanna, her sister. But if you can remember the 1960's, then you may remember that Carly and Joanna have another sister-Lucy. Once she was a fairly successful and steady per former. But five years ago she began raising her family a job that took a higher priority than music. For a while, she was content with her sole occupation of motherhood. Her situation is different now. "I love being a mother, but music is in my blood and I won't feel satisfied in my life without an outlet for it,"( she says. Lucy Simon (the album) is her comeback attempt. It would be pretentious to call this a great album, because it is not. Of course, some people are going to like it and it should make a fair showing on the charts. But I can't help thinking that only the teeny-bopper set is going to go. for it. It's just that kind of music high school romance stuff. Don't take me wrong, there is a place for that type of music. But by the time you have listened to the album, the songs seem to run together. The subjects of the songs vary, but EArmy. th college. assistance at colleges throughout th< country.

Listening to the album is like trying to read a Rod McKuen book; after a while it begins to get to you. OF THE ten songs on the album, Simon wrote seven of them-. The lyrics take the form of poetic ballads. Most.of them are simply narratives of past experiences. Some of them are pretty good, but her problem is that she- tells of something that has already happened to her instead of making it happen to the listener. The listener feels left out as if wat ching a historical movie instead of experiencing it with a singer. Simon does have a pretty voice. All of her melodies, though, are written in the same-area of the scale-high. As a result, her songs sound like some she would sing to her children. Also, there are a lot of "la-la's" on the album that don't do much for those of us who have finished grammar school. The album had a couple of good songs, though. The second version of From Time To Time To Time ends the album. It is a little different from all the rest and by the time you get to the end of the album it comes as a pleasant surprise. She also does (who doesn't) an arrangement of All I Have To Do Is Dream that is more suited for her voice than some of the others. I hope Lucy is not attempting to get on equal terms withCarlybecause she can't. They are not even in the same class. When she was pregn with her first child, Lucy recorded an album of '-ldren's songs. . After the hearing of this albuni.itsens that that is the best course for her. Beecher to give poetry readibg From news releases John Beecher will give a poetry. reading and workshop, at 7:30 p.m. in room 002 'of the Business Ad ministration building. Beecher has been desccribed by TiME MAGAZINE as: "less a poet than a one-rman t-ecorder of American experience,..perhaps his own best poem. If Beecher were a character actor instead of a poet, he could play all the best parts in a pageant of Amnerica past..." His appearance is sponsored by the South Carolina Arts Coin Smission an~d the Columbia Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. R EAD THE GAMECOCK
