Jericho Harp

"We're hitting 30 and we have a lot of experiences
to share. Our music is a personal statement in many
ways," Jericho Harp member Jim Thomas said.
Thomas and partner Tom Schmidt are Jericho
Harp, and they combined their two guitars and vocals
to produce a lyrical style of acoustic music this past

The duo's music with a message was a nice attempt
at variety from the normal rock bands usually
featured in the Spur. Unfortunately crowds were so
noisy at times, the soft-style music was barely
audible.
OVERALL, the crowds liked the music, but the
Spur was just the wrong setting. "We don't normally
play in bars," Thomas said. "Mostly we do small
concerts in college auditoriums or amphitheatres. It
was a change playing here."
The two members of Jericho Harp are most accurately
described as a team rather than a band.

To the Editor:
Much as I appreciate Mr. Greer's views, I cannot
accept them as a Christian. Just read the Bible. It's
all there. Haven't you read the Parable of the
Squirrel, the Three Acorns and the Roto-Rooter Man?
Wise up, heathens! The Judgment Day is coming, and

strumental duties, and both are equally competent
musicians.
The duo played two one-hour sets featuring about 60
percent original tunes. Crowd favorites included "See
the Frustration," a fast paced original and "Is It
Really Love," a mellow number that has received
radio airplay.
A Tom Waites blues song, "New Coat of Paint,"
demonstrated the team's powerful vocals. The
crowds also seemed to enjoy "a song for the acid
heads" entitled "805."
JERICHO HARP calls Minnesota their home base.
They have been playing together for seven vears and
have released one album called simply Jericho Harp.
The USC performance was the next to last show on a
35-stop fall tour. Another album will be recorded in
New York this winter and then they will do a spring
" tour.
"We play almost exclusively at colleges around the
country," Schmidt said. "We are very happy with
what we are doing right now.
The setting for Jericho Harp's performance could
have been better, but the music was truly top quality.
To the Editor:
I feel that I must speak out on this issue. I live in the
third tree from the left in front of DeSaussure, and
frankly I couldn't care less what happens to the
acorns. As long as students keep leaving piles of halfeaten
lunches, empty ice cream containers and beer
bottles (especially beer bottles) all over the campus,
who needs Nature? Only health-food nuts go for
acorns. So just keep leaving those messes, students,
and I'll be around long after you've choked on your
own garbage.
