This time, Bowie has recruited two of his favorite collaborators: guitariest Adrian Belew and Montreal choreographer Edouard Lock. Also, he has set up local phone numbers for fans to call with requests, and plans to restructure each show accordingly. “I thought it might be dépressi going back through old songs, Bowie says. ‘‘But it's not been. “It’s quite an invigorating concert on his Sound and Vision world tour, which opens here on Sunday. Sitting down for his first interview on the tour, the British rock icon is nursing a northern cold and sucking a cough drop. Otherwise, he is in great ‘spirits, gabbing and gesturing with nervous energy and grinning his crooked-teeth smile. Yes, he has ‘‘maybe’’ set the date to marry his fiancee, dancer Melissa Hurley. But he’d rather talk about the tour, a greatest hits retrospective of material from the 1970s, his golden years. “J’m not doing them ever again — ever,"’ says Bowie, 43, looking like a rockabilly punk, his blond hair moussed back pompadour-style, shock-blue pants on his skinny legs, glossy black Beatle boots on his feet. “It’s painting myself in a corner, really, sothat I’m forced to keep on working as an artist and not rely on the baggage of nostalgia.” Sound and Vision..won’t be as as got "s vision of what it could look like and Adrian’s interpretation of my songs And I'm singin’ "em. And I'll dance about a bit, but not very much.” Bowie describes his tour as dreamy, quite surrealistic’’ bination of music, film and video. “It's like an enormous Javanese shadow puppet show at times. (Lock) has done some wonderful things with opticals, huge screens — the likes of which hasn’t been seen in the West before,” says Bowie, fluttering his hands off to his side for mock dramatic effect. Critics have alternately described Bowie as one of rock’s great in- novators or its shrewdest carpet- bagger, cashing in on musical styles invented by others. Asked whether he agrees with either, he gives a surprising answer: “I feel very strongly both ways.”” A moment later, he laughs. ‘‘No, no. That kind of identification with myself doesn’t really interest me very much. ** Juried show on display The 11th Kootenay-Boundary Juried Art Show is on display at the Grand Forks Art Gallery.

VIN 487 365-6313 GERALD LAROCHE ++. at the Sandman Inn in Castlegar March 9 at 8 p.m. Harmonica player comes to area Taking the great tradition of legen- ds like Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton and Sonny Terry to stunning new heights may seem like a tall or- der, but in the talented hands of Canadian harmonica player Gerald Laroche, it is inevitable. As-fans at the prestigious 1987 Montreal International Jazz Festival quickly discovered, the humble har- monica has come a long way from being-the instrument of choice for lazy southern nights on the front por- ch and Laroche can take a bow for that, a news release from the Castlegar Arts Council says. Local residents will have a chance to see and hear for themselves as the Arts Council presents Laroche in con- cert March 9 at 8 p.m. in the banquet room of the Sandman Inn in Castlegar. Building on traditional Mississippi blues, Laroche has been amazing and delighting audiences for years, the Ar- ts Council says. Alone or with his back-up band, Laroche has gained a Teputation as a show stopper. On stage, he is absolutely tireless, moving between songs and styles without a hint of interruption. His fusion of vastly different styles and incredible versatility and daring have earned him the label ‘‘har- monica master’’ as he performs his one-of-a-kind mix of blues, bluegrass, jazz fusion, African rhythms, reggae, Zydeco, Cajun and French traditional music, the Arts Council says. Laroche’s blossoming career is taking him and his growing audiences to “hew horizons of harmonica heaven. Tours of Belgium and France in .1984 prompted invitations to return. As well, negotiations are currently underway in major American markets, the Arts Council says. Canada has had the pleasure of the lion’s share of Laroche’s company for the past three years. As the Castlegar performance has appeal for young and old alike, there will be no alcoholic beverages serves. Therefore, everyone is invited and en- couraged to attend. Tickets available locally at Carl’s Drugs, Pharmasave and the Castlegar Public Library.
