The 37-year-old guitarist, who added a Latin beat to rock music, has incorporated Caribbean and African rhythms on Beyond Appearances, the latest LP from the band that calls itself by his name. His 23rd album, a solo effort, will include free-form jazz and Jamaican reggae. The jazz drummer Tony Williams will appear on the hext album, as will members of the new wave group Missing Persons. Santana also hopes to get reggae great Jimmy Cliff to join him in the recording studio. Santana has collaborated in the past with the giants of jazz and rock, and is comfortable on stage with such artists as Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, Journey and the Rolling Stones. The musical styles change, but one thing remains constant: the soaring guitar and the multi-layered rhythm that are the Santana trademark. While many of his contemporaries have, falled to the pop music wayside, Santana still records albums, still attracts crowds. What makes Santana different? “I think it is mainly the live performances,” he said in a recent interview in a midtown hotel room, where he was staying for an appearance on NBC's Saturday Night Live. He no longer keeps the grueling schedule that saw him perform 300 times a year in the 1970s. Instead, he tours for a few months at a time, then returns home to San Francisco to rest for two or three weeks. He began an extended U.S. tour in the Northeast in late April and should performing throughout the summer. The performances still last 2/2 hours. “We play it all, we give them everything,” he said. He’s been giving his all ever since he burst onto the music scene at the age of 22 in 1969 when he turned in an electrifying performance at Woodstock. He's also been incorporating Third World rhythms into his music since that continue MAY 10-12 TRAIL, B.C. time. Santana has gone through many incarnations.

Though the 41-year-old Page and Rodgers, 35, wrote most of the group's music, there's barely enough original material for a two-hour concert. Still, Page’s determined Zeppelin or Bad Company “We want to do whatever's good, and whatever's new,” Page said in an interview, adding that he was not trying to aim the group in any musicial direction. “When we started writing songs for the LP, a lot of them came The Firm, which also includes young bassist Tony Franklin and drummer Chris Slade, breaks no new ground with its first album, but harvests its popularity from some well-tilled rock ‘n’ roll fields. It is music that is not likely to attract the spiky-haired or the studded The solid musicianship of Page and Rodgers’ distinctive vocals are the group's chief assets, and their presence alone may have generated their debut album's success on the charts. But it may take a second LP to judge where The Firm actually fits in the rock scene. REACHED NO. 17 Released by Atlantic Records, the LP titled after the group's name was No. 21 on Billboard Magazine's top pop album chart for the week of April 27. It had reached a high of No. 17 and was certified gold — 500,000 records and cassettes sold — on April 15. Radioactive, a single released from the album along with a video clip, was listed No. 46 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles, down from two weeks at the No. 28 spot. The Firm's members are masters of their trade, Firm music from Page LOS ANGELES (AP) — Guitar master Jimmy Page, know how to produce good sounds and put on a shot for concert crowds. The presence of Rodgers and Page could provoke plenty of requests from those who remember Led Zeppelin, former in 1968 and dissolved in 1980 when drummer John Bonham died of a heart attack. Page and other Led Zeppelin members — vocalist Robert Plant and bass-keyboard player John Paul Jones — have said over the years that the group would never come together again because the spirit of the original band could not be recreated without Bonham. The group produced such hits as Whole Lotta Love and Immigrant Song. And Stairway to Heaven was the big hit on FM rock radio stations during the 1970s. WORKED ON GLORIA Page did studio sessions 20 years ago for The Who and Van Morrison's old group, Them, including guitar work on Gloria, which was to 1960s radio play what Stairway to Heaven was to the "70s. Rodgers’ association with Page goes back at least to the early °70s, when Bad Company's albums were released in the United States on Led Zeppelin's Swan Song label. His first U.S. hit was All Right Now recorded in 1970 when he was with the short-lived British group. Free. Bad Company's biggest hits include Can't Get Enough in 1974 and Feel Like Makin’ Love in 1975. Led Zeppelin, with its strong sexual messages derived from early American blues songs and Page's interest in the oceult and mysticism, was the first rock group termed “heavy metal” by critics. “I know that we were labelled ‘heavy metal,’ and we certainly fit that category in some areas,” Page said. “But in some of our sounds, you could hear a pin drop between notes. That's not how I see heavy metal music now. But | guess we were embryonic of that whole thing.” Page said he likes current heavy metal groups “because its not polite music.” ad Ginsberg: By JUDY CANTOR NEW YORK (AP) — student timidly approached Allen Ginsberg after the beat poet had nt two hours reading and singing at the School of Visual Arts. He shook Ginsberg’s hand and said: “Your voice sounds familiar. Did you ever nar- rate Sesame Street?” The student was too young to remember censorship tri. als, LSD hearings and those mystical years when money was evil and love was free. Still, he and other youth hear a familiarity in Ginsberg’s chanting verses. A new generation is tuning in and turning on to the bearded bard who recited that anthemof alienatich, “Howl,” in an art gallery in San Francisco 30 years ago. Ginsberg is now 59. The black pants and hippie tunics have been retired for a navy blue blazer and khakis, and he’s traded in his love beads for a Piaget watch. His long beard is neatly trimmed, and his hair, what remains around the bald Reynolds film a hit HOLLYWOOD (AP) — Stick, directed by and ‘star. ring Burt Reynolds, debuted as the top-grossing film of the weekend while another new. comer, Just One of the Guys, came in second.

He has kidney stones, high blood pressure and a rare eye im- pairment. But when Gins- berg picks up his harmonium and soars into a rendition of Supermarket Blues, bobbing his head as if set on a spring, he is just Ginsberg. POEMS COLLECTED He read poems from his recently published anthol- ogy, Collected Poems, 1947- 1980 (Harper Row, $27.50). He and six apprentices spent three years tracking down texts to compile the more than 800-page book. Harper Row has agreed to publish a series of six books by him. This will allow Gins- berg to comb through his journals for writings on drugs, the CIA, the Vietnam war and “a lot of stuff” about fellow beat Jack Kerouac. Collected Poems is, in a sense, an autobiography of the poet. It is divided into 10 sections of poems arranged chronologically through the last three decades. An index of proper names lists the variety of characters and personalities who jour- neyed through Ginsberg’s life and imagination: Batman, Charles Baudelaire, the Beach Boys, Josef Stalin, Ringo Starr and Gertrude Stein. Ginsberg doesn't consider himself America's best known living poet. That dis tinction belongs to Bob Dy lan, he said. However, he can be called the most accessible t. After the reading, he at tracted little attention at an outdoor cafe, was unlike the days when groups of flower children surrounded him wherever he went. Though he once attracted a lot of attention as the poet who often wrote in a drug induced state, who wrote erotic odes to his male lovers and was politically outspok en, he said he was never one to do something just to be a rebel. “There was no element of defiance. I was just stating my own heart's truth. If someone took offence that was their problem. I was doing it to objectify what my own feelings were. The idea of trying to shock someone is laughable.” The beat poet has not stopped moving since 1954 when he left his job in market research in New York and went to San Francisco. He leaves for England this month with Steven Taylor, a young musician who accom panies Ginsberg on the gui tar. In the summer, he will give his annual course at the Naropa Institute in Boulder Colo.

Ferry Queen of Victoria while the vessel was passing Saltspring Island. “T’ve seen a lot of beautiful sights in my life, but when I saw her little hands reaching up out of the water as we were coming up to her — well, that was something else,” said Capt.

Davidson, who as Speaker ofthe legislature is supposed to avoid partisan debate, has written a letter to the Op- timist withdrawing sections of the original article but that letter has not yet been pub- lished.

Teachers Federation. Federation president Pat Clarke said Tuesday there is a theoretical possibility that teachers and some clerical staff will not be paid for May — leaving teachers who have supported the school board's position in a philosophical as well as financial bind. Board administrator Alick Patterson said earlier that | the board is facing a form of bankruptcy if it does not submit a budget for the next fiscal year in line with Victoria's guidelines. Board chairman Pauline Weinstein said Monday the board will not back down and will face “whatever consequences” Victoria can bring to bear. Patterson said the board is not funded on a yearly basis, but draws its funds monthly. The city, which pays part of the funding, then recovers the money from the taxpayer — but without a tax bylaw passed by the school board it cannot levy the taxes. } He said this raises the possibility that the city will not pay its $5.5 million installment for May. The provincial government could follow suit by cutting off its monthly grant of about $8 million. “The city might say it has already spent $22 million which it cannot collect (from taxes),” he said. Clarke said the question of whether to continue teaching in June after not being paid for May could put the teachers’ principles to the test.” He predicted teacher response to a lack of paycheques would depend heavily on “what sort of assurances are forthcoming from the city and from Victoria.” COULD BE DISASTROUS Clarke said disruptions to the system in June could be disastrous to the graduating class, with marks and graduation certificates delayed for substantial periods of time “if there are no clear assurances then anything goes.” The board's stand is already proving costly because stalling on issuing termination notices to about 150 clerical and para-professi the board i tab of $25,000 a week.
