From Staff Reports
Dancers in Anita Ashley's "Ray,
Marilyn, and Me!" will be performing
"Worried Man's Blues" in
a 8 p.m. concert March 6 and 7 at
at the Keenan Theatre.
"Worried Man's Blues," first
choreographed by Anita Ashley for
the Atlanta Jazz on Tap Festival
1991, is a contemporary dance
work in four movements to the
Blues music of the incomparable
Ray Charles.
Sometimes sultry, sometimes
witty, with just a touch of bitchy,
each section explores the mystique
and appeal of women in their relationships
with men. The first
dance, "Worried Life Blues," is

its treatment of five women and
their individual responses to the
men who broke their hearts. At
one point the dancers drop their
movement and come downstage to
speak directly to the audience.
The second dance, "Old Man
Time," speaks to both sexes about
the inevitable aging process, for
the dancers, it is a virtual race
against time, so it's fast paced.
The dancers, six women and one
very perplexed man, demonstrate a
much-desired aspect of relationships

Out of nowhere the national anthem
screeched over Eddie Van
Halen's guitar. The lights shut off,
and Sammy Hagar greeted the audience
with "Hellooo, bay-beee!"
as the hit single "Poundcake" heralded
Van Halen's return to the
Carolina Coliseum Saturday night.
In reference to the group's
Grammy Award for "Best Hard
Rock Performance With Vocals"
and the double platinum achievement
for their latest album "For
Unlawful Carnal Knowledge," Hagar
grinned and said, "It's about
lime they got hip to us."
Hagar reveled in the packed audience's
warm reception and said,
"It's been so long since we've
been here, so we're gonna play an
extra long time tonight!" The band
played for a full two hours.
The quartet chose to wear normal
everyday clothes instead of the
standard theatrical costumes in
which other metal groups adorn
themselves. The band's close-knit
friendship was evident throughout
the concert as it performed more
like brothers rather than grandstanding
hot dogs.

His stand-out solo spotlighted the

During Alex Van Halen's drum
solo, the platform lifted him and
his drum kit more than 12 feet
above the stage.
The songs ranged from cuts off
"1984" t0 newer releases and Hagar's
solo tracks. Also included
was a staggering 10-minute guitar
solo by Eddie Van Halen, an example
why he has become one of
the most influential guitarists of

Since Sammy Hagar replac

the quality of the group's music.
Adam Lerner, a media a
