DISNEYLAND FLY /TOUR ROSSLAND — Meredith Willson’s bright and breezy musical comedy The Music Man has been selected by the Rossland Light Opera Play- ers as its next major pro- duction. Auditions for the show, scheduled to be performed in late February, will start Wednesday at the RLOP Hall. Stage director will be Jack Fisher, in his first directing role since My Fair Lady 20 years ago. Music director will be Mary Howard, who had an auspicious debut in that cap- acity with last year’s produc- tion of Finian’s Rainbow. The Music Man had a suc- cessful run on Broadway be- fore being made into a movie in 1962, both starring Robert Preston in the title role. It contains several well-known songs, ineluding the rousing 76 Trombones. “We don't have to come up with 76 trombonists,” said Fisher, “but there are quite a few interesting and chal- lenging roles to be filled. “The part of Harold Hill, the fast-talking Music Man, is quite demanding; we will also be looking for Marian, the li- brarian, who has some beau- a songs, Le several in- teresting character actors. “We will need a good young actor to play Win- throp, a boy about 10-12 with a strong sense of comedy, and a girl about a year or two younges_who can play some basic piano. We need several teenagers for various acting roles, including some who play brass band instruments (badly!) “There are also some spec- ialty numbers in the show,” Fisher said, “including a bar- bershop quartet. Is there anyone in the area who can sing high tenor?” The two directors will open their series of auditions at the RLOP Hall in Rossland (next to Wise's Hardware) Wednesday with a general description of the play and the parts to be filled; audi- tions for youngsters will take place Thursday, for adult principals Oct. 15, and chorus Oct. 17. Thursday, Oct. 18 will be reserved for call- backs, and anyone who couldn't make the first audi- tions.

(AP) — He's just a self-taught guitarist who hated lessons, but Steve Cropper has been involved in some top music projects for three decades. In the 1960s, he co-wrote Wilson Pickett's In the Midnight Hour, Otis Redding’s Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay and played instrumental hit Green Onions. More recently he's played on the Blue Brothers’ albums and for the past few weeks he's been writing songs with country musie singer Bazzy Bailey. His achievements may sould like he took hours of expensive music lessons as a child, but that’s not so. “Lessons bored me,” he recalled. So a friend took lessons and Cropper learned in turn from the friend. “Tm sort of self-taught,” he said The 41-year-old Cropper has learned well because he's been a delux musician, songwriter and record producer since his high school days in Memphis, Tenn. In the Midnight Hours and Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay are considered classic American rock ‘n roll songs from the mid-1960s, when U.S. rock music was dominated by the Beatles and other British groups. Green Onions is a 1961 instrumental standard from Booker T. and the M.G.s — a four-piece band that was the rhythm section for Stax Records in Memphis. Cropper and Picket co-wrote in the Midnight Hour in 1965, the song was recently redone in a country style by Bailey, Cropper’s current associate. PHOENIX, ARIZ. me ra renee cam Behe The secon bas boon gibering nomen eve ‘Ocasek, dnd that its members would rather concentrate on sole projects. Ocasek also lly criticized the other DD cargene rote froregplare salen to five top-selling albums. Things were blown way out of proportion,” said lead guitarist Elliot Easton. “Rie had an interview with some guy and said something like we were going to break up. But he said that as a joke. Everybody took it too ser- fously. You got to understand Rie’s type of humor.” Ocasek, who founded the Boston-based band in 1978, said the break-up rumor “always makes for a good story. “T've heard the talk. It’s funny. » We never had an interest in breaking up. Never gave it a thought,” he said. “Nah,” said keyboard player Greg Hawkes when asked about the possibility of a split. “Not yet. Not just yet.” Drummer David Robinson and bassist Ben Orr both denied the rumor as well, with Orr saying there was no friction between him and Ocasek as the London reports hadi indicated. “The truth is, me and Ric have always worked well together. It's been that way for 10, 12 years now,” Orr said. Orr, born Benjamin Orzechowski and raised in Cleveland, said he met Ocasek at a party in Ohio in 1972. Ocasek, whose father was a systems analyst for NASA, later moved to New England where he and Orr put together the current Cars’ lineup. Easton was attending Boston's Berklee School of Music at the time of his recruitment. Hawkes was a session player in the area while Robinson, The Cars’ lone native Bostonian, was a former member of the group Modern Lovers. The Cars’ self-title debut album on Elektra in 1978 got strong airplay in Boston, followed by gradual national exposure. The platinum albums followed — Candy-O in 1979, Panorama in 1980 and Shake It Up in 1982. Heartbeat City is The Cars’ fastest seller with four hit singles in 22 weeks so far — Magic, You Might Think, Hello Again and Drive. Orr said he and Ocasek diplomatically agree on who sings lead on each song “by simply going to a microphone and seeing who sounds best.” The Cars are known for their catatonic, detached appearance on stage with-little, if any, eudience rapport But they say that's by design. “Everybody's so used to the heavy metal posturing. We think that type of thing is very silly,” said Easton, one of the band’s youngest members at age 30. “T'm not into show business. We are not show business characters,” Ocasek said bluntly after a recent sold-out concert at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoeniz. “I don't prod the audience and I don't insult their intelligence. We just don't want to be pretentious.” Despite their success in the United States, The Cars have no plans to tour Europe. Instead, Ocasek said he is busy putting together “a video album of about seven songs from Heartbeat City plus a couple of oldies.” Meanwhile, Easton and Orr both have solo albums in the works. Easton's LP, out this month, tentatively is titled Change — No Change. Videos are big on stage For the NEW YORK (AP) — latest trend in concerts is to show a video of a performer's popular hit on stage. At international superstar Julio Iglesias’ recent sold-out smash show at Radio City Music Hall, the singer sang To All the Girls I've Loved Before to his image as it appeared on a small screen. It is his hit duet with Willie Nelson. Later, he stood by and watched as the video of All of Me, his lustily romantic duet with Diana Ross, ran. At Miss Ross’ Music Hall concert, she played her Swept Away video on an enormous screen without the sound. Instead, she sang live. Carney says No money for pipeline VICTORIA (CP) — Reac- tions ranged from disap pointment, resignation and charges of a “shell game” af- ter federal Energy Minister Pat Carney said Friday the Conservative government does not have the money to fund a natural gas pipeline to Vancouver Island. The provincial govern. ment, which has long-prom ised a pipeline to deliver some of its vast reserves of natural gas to the island, had athe federal « govern mbnt for 150 million for the project. Carney, who met in Van- couver with B.C. Energy Minister Stephen Rogers, said the federal government “doesn't have half a billion dollars at this time to commit to this kind of project,” but will continue discussions with the Social Credit govern ment. During the recent federal election campaign, Carney, who won re-election in Van couver Centre, said a Tory government would give “top priority” to the pipeline. Victoria Mayor Peter Pol- len said Vancouver Island has “definitely come off second- best, but in the interests of the whole country I'm re lieved that this rather ridi- culous venture is not going to be undertaken.” He said the pipeline was too costly and the money would be better spent on things like reforestation. Rogers has said the proj- ect, designed to service 66,000 households and sev. eral large industrial oper ations, would create thou sands of new jobs, stimulate the economy and increase revenue for all levels of gov ernment. But critics have charged that the user-forecasts are too optimistic, particularly for the industrial users — primarily four pulp mills that forecasts say would initially take half the gas sold on the island. PLAYING A GAME Gary Lauk, provincial NDP energy critic, said Brit ish Columbians are the vic tims of a Social Credit shell game because ‘the: province knew Ottawa couldn't pay the bulk of the pipeline’s capital cost. “Tm suggesting that the proposal to the federal gov ernment from our govern ment was ‘You pay for nearly 100 per cent of the pipeline and we'll tell you where to put it.’ “To me, that is a way of saying, ‘We don’t really want a pipeline but we're playing a little shell game for the people at home.’ ” Mayor Mel. Couvelier of Saanich, a Victoria suburb, said he was ‘extremely dis appointed” at the Tories’ reluctance to fund the pipe- line. “I can't help but ask myself if (Carney) would have given the same answer if some eastern province was left at the altar.” Robert Bonner, chairman of B.C. Hydro, the Crown corporation chosen by the provincial government to build the pipeline, said he could not comment as long as talks were continuing. But he noted that Hydro, whose proposal was selected over a competing proposal by Westcoast Transmission Ltd., has “sunk many mil lions,” into the preparatory work for the project. Frank Leonard, vice-presi dent of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce, said he was not surprised by Car. ney’s decision “They've barely had time for the cabinet to get to know each other, let alone spend $500 million on a project.” Airline workers' talks EDMONTON (CP) — Pac ifie Western Airlines mech anics want wage parity with their Air Canada counter. parts, says a union spokes man Wages and a substandard pension plan rate are the two major issues in the mechan- ies’ current contract dispute, said Tim Eaton, spokesman for Local 1500 of the Inter- national Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The union, which broke off conciliation talks a week ago, is waiting for federal Labor Minister Bill McKnight to decide if they can go out on strike or must return for more conciliation. Airline spokesman Peter Lawless said the company's offer has to be looked at in the context of deregulation which was announced this year. PWA's offer of a four-per-cent increase in a two-year deal is within in dustry standards because of deregulation.
