are used and the way these
characters of Joanne, Mary and
Kathy look into the mirrors show
they think a lot of themselves.
"Vanities" continues through
Sunday at Longstreet Theatre with
performances at 8 p.m. Thursday

and presents with excellence how
lives of promise can suddenly turn

One problem Aztec Two-Step
continues to face is their inability
to match the timeless quality of
their first album, "Aztec TwoStep."
The following three albums
have been good, but the initial
release has the makings of a
classic.
Many artists have problems
matching or improving on their
first album, especially where
lyrics are concerned. This
situation can sometimes be explained

Musically, Aztec Two-Step has
developed at a leisurely pace, but
lyrically they have been unable
