NASHVILLE, TENN. (AP)
— Award-winning dobro

He won a Grammy in 1963

three-hour recording
sessions a week — sometimes
commanding double the

Valdy touring again

EDMONTON (CP) -~ It's a good thing Valdy has
learned to make the most of life on the road, At 41, the
gentle-voiced folksinger tours as much as ever.

* He begins a series of concerts in February to raise
money for the Canadian Native Arts Foundation, founded
in 1985 by native symphony conductor John Kim Bell, Its
aim is to provide native, Metis and Inuit youth with

and

in the arts.

The tour begins in Fort Smith, NWT, on Feb. 11 and

in popularity in the early 1970s, with hit tunes like Rock
and Roll Song, Simple Life and Yes I Can. He made four
gold albums and won two Juno awards.
He's kept his career current by branching out into

‘ends in Edmonton on Feb, 24. Along the way, Valdy will
visit Vancouver and six communities in the Northwest
Territories and the Yukon,

“I've wanted to tour northern Canada for a long
time,” he said. “Pacific Western Airlines made this tour
possible on the conditions we have something behind for
northerners.”

The trip will be his second of the year. On Tuesday,
he was in the northeastern Alberta’ city of Fort
McMurray finishing up his first tour of 1987.

Later this year he will travel to the Soviet Union.

That kind of schedule sits well with Valdy, born in
Ottawa as Valdemar Horsdal. The father of three grown
children, he has learned to survive the pressures of the
road. .

“Having fun doesn't translate into partying,” he said
in a telephone interview. “When you go through any
community, you have to take advantage of what's
available, as opposed to finding someone you know and
hanging out with them.

“It’s enjoying the road for what it has to offer, as
opposed to what you want to take from it.”

The bearded, slightly scruffly-looking singer peaked

admission he now owns « dishwasher and a 1967 Porsche.

“T'm not but I feel hed.”

Valdy lives with his wife on Saltspring Island in the
Georgia Strait off British Columbia. The area has become
a colony for an eclectic, creative group that includes
television personality Jack Webster, singer Shari Ulrich
and painter Robert Bateman.

“There are a lot of artists here; but we're not trying
to hype Saltspring too much,” Valdy said. “It doesn't need
an influx of people.”

Between tours, Valdy gardens, works on a book he's
writing, plays with his white German shepherd puppy
and works on a new album tentatively titled Benchmark
for Craziness. z

. One new career direction that excites him is working
with the Victoria Symphony Orchestra.

“I've tried this sort of thing before, with the London
Symphony Orchestra and Grande Pairie's woodwind
orchestra,” he said. “It’s hellishly expensive to do because
you have to have the scores written.

“But in terms of the artistic and creative element, I
can take the song into whole new areas. That's what I
like.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The

_ year was 1950, Frank Mor-

gan was 17 years old, and the
jazz musicians he'd worked
with in Los Angeles were
urging him to make his debut
in New York.

But Morgan, an alto sax-
ophonist who had already
earned the attention of the
jazz master and be-bopper
Charlie Parker, panicked at
the prospect of the big time
and turned to drugs. He
never got to New York and
eventually; faced 28 years in
California's San Quentin pris-
on for $600,000 in forgeries to
support a $1,000-a-day heroin
habit.

Now, 35 years later, Frank
Morgan has arrived.

He made his long-delayed
debut the week of Dec. 9 at
the estimable Village. Van-
guard, New York's most
famous jazz club, and was
greeted with enthusiastic ap-
plause, warm reviews and
audiences packed with jazz
ici: and critics.

On Morgan's third night,
the Grammy award-winning
trumpeter Wynton Marsalis,
who had come to hear Mor-
gan play, joined him on stage
for a late-night jam session.
Playing with Marsalis, Mor-
gan said, was one of his
dreams.

“I love New York and I
love the crowds,” an ebullient
Morgan said the day after his
Vanguard opening. “When I
walked into the club last
night, I had so much energy
— before Ieven played a
note.

“T feel like I'm home. It's
the best I've ever felt in my
life.”

Morgan shares with his
late mentor, Parker, an abil-
ity to coax soaring, fluid
melodies from the alto sax.

At the age of 52, he is
playing with all the boyish
enthusiasm of the 17-year-old
who didn’t make it to New
York.

The revitalization of Mor-
gan’s long-suspended career
began in the spring of 1985,
when he was freed from
prison and handed a record-
ing contract by Richard Bock,
head of Contemporary Rec-
ords.

In June 1985, Morgan
recorded a critically acclaim-
ed album entitled “Easy Liv-
ing,” with the trio of pianist
Cedar Walton. He had still
not shaken his drug habit. “I
was using when they offered

The answer will always be
1,089.

Why?

“T asked the same question
of one of our d

ton, whom Morgan had long
admired, seemed at last to
turn Morgan around. “I
found out I actually could
make a record with them,”
Morgan said. “And I made a
pretty good record.” It was
Morgan's first recording
since the mid-1950s.

‘As the record was being
made, the California parole
board issued an alert seeking
his whereabouts because he
had failed to check in.

Morgan turned himself in
and, on July 8, 1985, was sent
back to jail for five months. “I
needed help,. and I was
amenable to treatment at
that point,” he said.

After his release, he re-
corded a second album,
“Lament,” that shows him
healthy and in peak form.

He has recorded a duo
album, with pianist George
Cables — “the best thing I've
recorded” — that will be re-
leased next year. His perfor-
mances at the Village Van-
guard were recorded for a
forthcoming release.

FOLLOWS FATHER

Morgan, whose father was
a jazz musician, was only a
teen-ager when he
was caught up in the Central
Avenue jazz scene, Los An-
geles’s answer to New York's
52nd Street.

When he was 17 and being

urged to go to New York, he
panicked.

“That's when I started
using,” he said. In addition to
adopting Parker's musical
ideas, Morgan also adopted
his drug habit.

Why do so many jazz
musicians fall victim to
drugs? “It's about being
help,” Morgan said after a
moment's hesitation. “Jazz
musicians would rather be
dead than not be hip.”

When he was sentenced in
1962 to two consecutive
14-year sentences, he became
a jailhouse lawyer, and won
his release on Oct. 10, 1967.
“I really thought I was slick
then,” he said.

“I could commit the crime
and beat the system.”

Last year, after his re-
lease, he decided it was time
to abandon drugs and get
back to music. His dedication
and success in the months
since then was recognized by
his parole officer who re-
leased Morgan from parole
on Dee. 7, two years early.
That means he can travel
freely and accept offers to
perform in Europe, which he
had earlier had to turn down.

“[m really into realizing
dreams,” said Morgan, and
that means staying off drugs
for good.

“There's going to be a
tremendous resurgence of
be-bop,” said Morgan. “And I
want to be there.”

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Prices were mixed in very
active trading Friday on the
Vancouver Stock Exchange.

WASHINGTON (CP) — The
U.S. textile industry is dead
set against a U.S. freer-trade
pact with Canada, an indus-
try organization told U.S.
trade authorities Friday.

The industry says a pact
would invite a flood of illegal
clothing and fabric imports
from the Far East via Canada
into the United States, hurt-
ing a U.S. industry which al-
ready feels devastated by
cheap imports.

It also says that if Canada
gets a freer-trade pact with
the United States, Mexico
and other countries will be
demanding a deal and the al-
ready giant global U.S. trade
deficit of $170 billion US will
go up even farther.

The American Textile
Manufacturers Institute told
the U.S. International Trade
Commission that if a freer-
trade deal is established
against its wishes, tough
shipping and customs rules
must be strictly, imposed on
goods from Canada to pre-
vent abuse.

In an interview after the
hearing, the institute's trade
director said the industry “is
seared to death about trans-
shipments” of third-country
textile exports to the United
States’ via Canada and
strongly opposes a freer-
trade area for several rea-
sons.

consumers can get a home

Mortgages haven't been so
low since the summer of
1967, when they hovered

length available at the time
— and then gradually rose to
eigh tper cent in the fall and
early 1968.

“We want to lead wherever

Atterbury said the workers like being informed and

“They don't have to beat around the bush any more,” he

“You can walk right into the manager's office. You can
go to the foreman if you think you've got a good idea.
