Boyd discov

By TIM O'CONNOR
Canadian Press

TORONTO (CP) — To most classical musicians,
becoming contemporary means performing a piece written
some time after the discovery of electricity.

To Liona Boyd, one of the world’s most popular classical
guitarists, it's meant a daring jump into the world of —
horrors! — rock musicians and syni i y

“I was i d in being more y. but it
doesn’t mean I'll be wearing leather pants when I play with a
symphony,” Boyd says with a laugh.

; While Boyd has always dabbled with music outside the
bounds of her classical repertoire — playing with country
guitarist Chet Atkins, for example — her new album,
Persona, is an abrupt change in direction.

On the record, Boyd's nylon stringed melodies are
awash in lightly textured synthesizers, electronic drums and
electric guitar solos. The sound is airy and tranquil, the
melodies simple

BAND OF STARS

To make her dramatic move, Boyd and producer
Michael Kamen assembled an all-star cast including rock
guitar demi-god Eric Clapton, former Pink Floyd guitarist
David Gilmoure and former Roxy Music drummer Andy
Newmark.

Kamen has produced Pink Floyd and Eurythmics. Boyd
also got a new high-powered manager, Bruce Allen, who
represents Bryan Adams and Loverboy.

This month Boyd embarks on a seven-week Canadian

tour with a drummer, two synthesizer players and a second

guitarist
“I guess this is the most radical break in my career,” she

says; emp the obvious by rolling

her eyes.

Sitting on the sunny stone patio behind her massive
Toronto home, Boyd said Persona didn't stem from
frustration with her classical career.

“Not at all. I really enjoy having a classical career and
I'm not abandoning it in any wa: he noted that in 1987 she
will doa solo tour of India, playing a classical repertoire, and
ith symphonies in the United States.

FUSE THEMES

“[ve always been interested in new sounds,” she said,
speaking with a trace of a proper English accent despite her
20 years in Canada. “it’s in keeping with my philosophy of
fusing classical themes and technique sometimes with pop,
elements of jazz and different ethnic music.”

The title of the album suggests “different images and
different personas. I'm sure you'll notice the change in
wardrobe,” she said, spreading her arms out and laughing.

‘The 34-year-old “first Lady of the Guitar” is wearing a
black silk tank-top, black jeans faded to that perfect shade of
burnt charcoal and no shoes. Her gentle eyes are partially
visible behind sunglasses that poke out from her fashionably
unkept blond hair.

Aside from the record, she's also excited about her new
grey-brick split level in east-end Toronto that overlooks
Lake Ontario. The living room, large enough for a game of
racquetball, is furnished with two Greek urns, a tone mural
relief, a black grand piano, a golden harp, a black leather
couch and a dusty stereo.

IT’S A HIT

Whether she needs it or not, Persona is already a

commercial success. For the first time, her music is being

perform wi

ers electricity

played on FM rock stations. It's also featured at the front of
record stores along with new albums by Tina Turner and
Cyndi Lauper.

Boyd is not worried, however, that classical purists and
her old fans will desert her for fraternizing with plebeian
rockers. She believes that for every fan she loses, she will
probably gain 100 with wider musical tastes.

“Purists down on me for collaborating with Clapton
probably gave up on me a few years ago because I haven't
followed a strict classical path. I mean, when | played with
Boxear Willie . . ..” she trails off and laughs.

Even though she had planned this marriage of classical
and pop musie for about three years, “neither Michael
(Kamen) nor I had a precise idea of what the end result
would be.

“We'd take tapes home and suggest changes and add
things. There was lots of experimenting.”

Through her years of classical training. Boyd's

'y app h to ding was to painstakingly
prepare the piece, and then play it in the studio the way she
had rehearsed it. Making a pop album with Kamen was
different.

“Sometimes it was a little frustrating because I'd spent
time learning things and Michael would say ‘Oh no, we've

and then I'd

just go into a little room and relearn i
Despite Persona, her impending marriage to Joel Bell,
former president of the Canada Development Investment
Corp., her coming tour and the management deal with Bruce
Allen, Boyd's dedication to the guitar has not changed
“All this is fun and exciting, but to me the ultimate
sound is just one solo classical guitar.”

DOWN UNDER COMEDY

Hogan's Dundee invades box-office

By INA WARREN
Canadian Press

Paul Hogan is talking about the salt-water crocodiles
that live in Australia’s Northern Territory: “Yeah,” he says
with a nonchalant twang, “they've eaten two ladies since
Christmas.”

Hogan, Australia’s most popular TV personality, is both
the star and creator of the film Crocodile Dundee.

It’s the Australian comedy that’s had the teeth to
gobble up the box-office — not just Down Under, but also in
the United States where this rowdy import has become the
top-grossing movie. It recently opened in theatres across
Canada.

A movie of irresistible charm, it’s the tall tale of a
friendly Aussie croc-hunter from the wilds of the Northern
Territory who gets lured by a lady journalist to the jungles
of New York City.

ALL A‘GID-DYE

The scene of Dundee trying to negotiate midday
pedestrian traffic in Manhattan while greeting everyone
with a friendly “good-day” — or as Dundee says it “gid-dye”
— is a classic in comic culture shock

The film's charm lies in its ability to avoid heavy satire
and mean-spiritedness while humming along on genial
humor.

Tracked down by a beautiful and headstrong New York
reporter, Sue Chariton (Linda Kozlowski), Dundee agrees to
take her to the outback to show her where his leg was almost
ripped off by a crocodile

Despite the crocodile teeth on his bush hat, Dundee
turns out to be a courtly gentleman with a sense of humor
about the macho image expected of him. Like any other
outdoorsman, Dundee shaves with a plastic razor, but when
he sees this New York lady approach he starts slicing his
whiskers off with a machete

Moreover, New Yorkers —
society matrons

be they cops, hookers, or
come off as genuinely nice people with

Dundee’s macho-naivete bringing out the best in everyone
he meets. Even the tough New York movie critics went into
a communal meltdown over Crocodile Dundee.

Is Hogan surprised that an Australian movie with a
45-year-old star who's not exactly a household name in North
America could be such a hit? Hardly.

‘A former high-school rigger who last year was named
by his government Australian of the Year for his work in
tourism promotion, Hogan has one incredibly canny and
creative head on his shoulders.

Crocodile Dundee was made for under $8 million but has
already grossed many times that amount. It has turned its
owners, Hogan and producer John Cornell. into millionaires.

“I sort of designed it for international audiences,” says
Hogan during an interview in a Montreal hotel.

KNOWS HIS STUFF

“I started selling my TV shows (The Paul Hogan Show)
around the world about nine years ago. They were running
in places like Zimbabwe, Spain — places like that, and they
were getting laughs. So I figured I could write a movie that
would be funny anywhere.”

‘A shy man in person, Hogan evidently has an inspired
connection with the human funny bone. His TV comedy
shows, which he writes and stars in, are syndicated to 26
countries, more than any other Australian television
product

“If I don't know what makes people laugh, I'm in the
wrong business,” he notes.

About two years ago, Hogan made his first visit to New
York City for a tourist promotion blitz and a week later was
back in the Northern Territory

“I thought if | was impressed by the pace and dazzle of
New York, then some of the guys I know from up there

would think it was like landing on Mars.”
NO TARZAN

But he steered clear of writing what he calls “one of
those indulgent Down Home movies that would only work
in Australia.

“I didn’t want it to be Tarzan in New York, I didn’t want
Dundee to get into slapstick scenes or carve his way through
New York with a knife.”

As for the genial Mick (Crocodile) Dundee, Hogan says
he’s not really much of a character — “just an Aussie beer
drinker, sort of like me.

“You'll noticethat’he doesn’t have any emotional break
downs, or burst into tears. That's because I wrote it so I
could play it in my sleep,” Hogan adds with a laconic drawl

He cautions that real crocodile hunters actually
they're poachers because crocodiles are a protected species

tend to be “tattooed and toothless and not nearly are
friendly as Mick Dundee.”
ON TALENT SHOW

Hogan broke into television in an unusual way at the
age of 30. He wrote toa TV talent show describing himself as
a tap-dancing knife-thrower from the Outback

The show's producers thought they'd have some sport
with this rustic, but Hogan turned the tables sharply and
lampooned the show he was appearing on

After that show-stopping appearance, his career took
off.

“Australia’s a funny country,” observes Hogan. “Up
until 1973 when I stastéd in show business, everyone on
radio spoke with an American accent and everyone on
television spoke with a BBC accent.

“] arrived on television and started speaking Australian
and I was a freak in my own country!”

BRUMMET
SPEAKS IN
CASTLEGAR

By MIKE KALESNIKO
- Staff Writer

Minister of Education Tony Brummet was in Castle-
gar Thursday to campaign with Social Credit candidate
Audrey Moore.

Speaking to about 30 people at the Sandman Inn,
Brummet said he was dissatisfied with the present
regulatory system.

Give me the regulations that don't make sense and
Tll get rid of them,” he said.

“There are far to many regulations, far too many
laws in this country,” he said. “If we attack the parts we
can accomplish more.”

Brummet recommends getting rid of “the little
things that don’t work,” what he terms “deregulation by
common sense on specific items.”

Brummet, who has been either a teacher or
principal for 26 years, said he is pleased with what he has
seen in the schools.

“We've heard so much bad news about the school
system,” he said. “I go into the schools and see good
things happening.”

Brummet was also in town to present the Castlegar”

and District Public Library with a $66,667 Expo legacy
fund cheque. The cheque, which is one-third of the total
$200,000 promised, will be used to expand the library.

Brummet, who was made education minister in
August, told the Castlegar News the purpose of his visit
was part political and part ministerial He admitted,
though, his trip was funded by the Social Credit party.

“Basically I'm here helping Audrey (Moore) do the
campaign,” he said. “But as a minister I deal with any
educational issues that come up.”

Regarding the presentation of the legacy cheque to
the library he said, “I can't very well let the candidates
hand them out because they are still candidates.”

When asked why he would not meet with the
Castlegar school board, Brummet said time constraints
made it impossible to meet officially with the board.

“I have to be realistic,” said Brummet. “In the first
month (after being made minister) I received invitations
from 65 to 75 schools saying they would like to see me
immediately.”

MINISTER OF EDUCATION . . . Tony Brummet
presents Patrick Donohue, director of the Castlegar
library board, with an Expo legacy cheque worth

Selkirk College board vice-chairman Elizabeth Fleet,
reading from a prepared statement, told Brummet of the
college's concern over what will happen when the
funding support from the Excellence in Education
program ends.

She said the college recommends transferring the
funds to the base budget for ongoing needs such as
increased costs, equipment needs and new initiatives
which need continual support.

Brummet said the Funds for Excellence were meant

$66,667. The cheque is the first installment of a
total of $200,000 for the expansion of the Castlegar
public library

ie

to help schools obtain necessary equipment and training
only. He said it was never meant to be continuous funding
or to part of a school’s budget.

“It was never meant for operating expenses,” he
replied. “If it was part of the operating budget it may be
used for such things as salary increases.”

Brummet assured the gathering that changes in
education funding will continue.

“There are continuous changes to the formula for
funding, a continual restructuring.” he said. “It is being
done and recommendations for changes are being made.”
