Folk singer to croon at
From Staff Reports
Brian Huskey will be strumming his guitar and singing
country-folk songs Thursday and Friday at 9 p.m. at the
Golden Spur in conjunction with Golden Hill Productions.
The Charlotte, N.C., based musician began his musical
career in London, England, where he learned guitar from
some of the finest street musicians in the world.
He soon graduated to the ranks of the regular subway station
performers, perfecting his musical style and projection, as
well as adding some zany humor and theatrics that are an integral
part of the current show.
From his experiences as a roving singer for a year in
England, he retained a wealth of stories and memories, and
he's always relating one or two of them during the course of a
performance.
His musical touches on folk, bluegrass and country-rock appeals
to a wide range of listeners. In addition to his own
original tunes, he performs songs by a diversified list of
writers such as Arlo Guthrie, Jerry Jeff Walker, John Prine
and Jackson Browne.
Brian lias released two recordincs to date: one album. "The
Road Fever Rag," which was critically acclaimed among folk
and contemporary reviewers alike; and an EP, "Fine Pickin'
and Grinnin' from the State of N.C." Combined sales to date
total over 10,000 copies with no national distribution. Brian
produced and marketed both projects.
In recent years, he has toured with and opened concerts for
such major acts as Juice Newton, Leon Russell, Arlo Guthrie,
Roger McGuinn, and Pure Prairie League. Lawrence Levy,
road manager for Juice Newton, said of Brian, "He is undoubtedly
the hardest working singer on his circuit today, and
certainly one of the most talented."

A DISPLAY of original watercolors by 18th century
naturalist John Abbot is on exhibit on the mezzanine floor
of USC's Thomas Cooper Library.
Abbot, the son of a London attorney,was an art history illustrator
in the 18th century. He emigrated to the United
States in 1773 to prepare life studies of American insects and
animals for the Royal Society.
In 1775, anticipating the coming revolutionary struggle, Abbot
moved to Augusta, Ga., where he spent the remainder of
his life studying and painting the local insects.
Thomas Cooper Library owns more than 150 original
watercolors of moths and butterflies by Abbot and his collaborators.
Some were used in the preparation of The Natural
History of the Rarer Lepidopterous Insects of Georgia,
published in London in 1797. This is one of the finest 18th
century color-Dlate natural historv books.
Six plates from the book are exhibited, accompanied by Abbot's
original studies. Also shown are later watercolors by Abbot
and studies by Charles Emile Blachard on Abbot's work.
The display is mounted to coincide with the exhibition
"John Abbot in Georgia: The Vision of a Naturalist Artist,"
which will be on view at the Madison-Morgan Cultural
Center, Madison, Ga., Sept. 25-Dec. 31. The exhibition,
drawn from many sources, includes several items from USC's
collections.
