(AP) — Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry House after the recent Music City News awards, Harold Reid of the Statlers patted Randy Travis on the back and said: “Keep it up.” Travis is leading an en- ergetic group of fresh coun- try singers who have pumped life into an industry that plummeted in the mid-1980s after the “urban cowboy” fad faded. Travis, 28, who sings trad- itional country music, sold a remarkable million copies of his first album, Storms of Life. Less than two years ago, he was singing part-time at a Nashville nightclub. When not on stage, he was in the kitchen, washing dishes and cooking catfish. Travis now has been voted male vocalist of the year by the Academy of Country Music. “It's hard to believe that in just a little over a year, all these things have happened,” Travis said. But he’s not the .only new face displacing older country singers. Twenty-five new acts have hit country's top 20 in the past year. ‘TRANSITION’ “This represents a major transition in the talent base in country music,” says Ed Benson of the Country Music D Business A and the Ci Arts Council, in cooperation with the Castlegar News and CKQR radio. In the event of rain, the concerts will be held in the Legion Hall on Columbia Avenue. And it isn’t necessary to stay for the entire concert. Pack a lunch and haul along a lawn chair and sit for 10 minutes, a half hour or the full hour, if you like. Come at the beginning, in the middle or for the last few minutes.

Taylor told some friends she used to play hooky from school to hear the feisty, folksy humor of Moms Mab- ley at Harlem's Apollo The- atre. When one of them said he'd never heard of Moms Mab- ley, Taylor responded, “You're going to know be- cause I'm going to write a play and I'm going to play Moms Mabley.” She did the research and gave it to playwright Alice Childress, who wrote a play that ran at the Hudson Guild Theatre. Now playwright Ben Caldwell has reworked the play, taking out other historical figures and con centrating on Moms.

One of his workmen raped her when she was 11. Three years later, a white sheriff raped her. Both rapes re- sulted in children, who were taken away from her. Later, she had a third child and adopted a brother's son. Moms wasn't quite 15 when she ran away with the comedy team of Butterbeans and Susie to tour black vau- deville theatres. When a brother and sister told her she was embarrassing the family, she changed her bill ing from Loretta Mae Aitkin to Jackie Mabley. Jackie Mabley soon be. came a headliner and started on TV in 1967. GETS NICKNAME In her 20s, she was already called Moms. When an inter. viewer asked why that nick name, she replied, “A child is born and he ain't nothing no- where nohow without a Moms and I'm that Moms.” Taylor says she never heard blue humor from Moms. “She told things to show how ridiculous pre judice was. She didn't do it in a bitter way. It would get through. And people would be laughing at it.” Moms died at 81 in 1975 in affluent Westchester Coun. ty, N.Y. She suffered a heart attack while working in the movie Amazing Grace. Taylor also was perform “The seems to be ‘young.’ ” While Tammy Wynette hasn't had a No. 1 country hit since 1976, The Forester Sis- ters, a quartet who have had records out for just two years, had three from their debut album, The Forester Sisters. In the spring, they were voted group of the year by the Academy of Country Music. Only one of the sisters is over 30. In late May, the O’Kanes, singing together less than a year, had a No. 1 country record, Can't Stop My Heart From Loving You. Also in May, Don't Go to Strangers, by 82-year-old T. Graham Brown, hit No. 1. Brown has been on the charts less than two years. In June, Travis and fellow newcomer Dwight Yoakam, 80, had the No. and No. 2 al- bums on the country charts, Always Forever and Hillbilly Deluxe. VETERANS TRAIL Their albums were selling far better than After All This Time by 2l-year veteran Charley Pride and Johnny Cash Is Coming to Town by Cash, who's been singing since the 1950s. “We've probably been in- sulated,” Benson says of past years when few new enter- tainers cracked the scene. Travis, meanwhile, has a spot on the concert bill with such artists as Conway Twit- ty and George Jones, country singers he grew up idolizing. “It's been great for me to meet and work with all these people,” he says. Van Shelton, 35, has a cur- rent country hit with Crime of Passion, his second record. He's a former house painter, carpenter, used-car sales- man, appliance-store mana- ger and pipefitter. “He has that rare quality to stamp every song with his identity,” says record pro- ducer Steve Buckingham. “To me, this is what separ- ates an artist from a singer.” Cable 10 TV SHAW CABLE TV 10 July 9,10 and 12 5:30 p.m. (Thur) 9 a.m. (Fri) 1 p.m. (Sun) — It’s the Shot that Counts — This program introduced by Jim Nelford, PGA tour profes: sional, encourages the disa. bled to try the sport of golf.

Sea Haul Man leaves two widows TORONTO (CP) — Joe Southall led a secret life that only his death at age 73 revealed. The churchgoing, former Boy Scout leader left two wives behind — one in Canada and another in England who thought he had drowned 34 years ago. “It wasn't surprise, it was shock!” said Mary Southall, his widow in Holland Landing, a community of 2,770 people about 50 kilometres north of Toronto. “I had no idea.” Southall’s other widow, also named , said in a phone interview from Coventry, England, she’s glad the truth came to light after his death. “If you'd found out all this before he died, he would havé died of shock,” she said. “He probably would have been imprisoned. Thank God he escaped that.” Southall’s two widows found out about each other after his Canadian family put a notice of his death last month in a Coventry newspaper. They knew he grew up in the area and hoped his brothers and sisters might read it. Although both wives were at first shocked and upset about the news, they had only good things to say about their bigamist husband, who died last month. “He was a very good man, very good and very kind and I think hing must have hing might have gone wrong in his business,” said his first wife, trying to explain why her husband abandoned her in 1958. Southall, who owned a fish store in Coventry, staged his own drowning and fled the country, leaving his wife with eight children, including a baby of only nine months. The unveiling of the secret of this ordinary man by the Coventry Evening Telegraph caused a sensation in England. It also caused pain for his families, who found out about each other from a reporter's telephone call. An anonymons tip about the death announcement led Telegraph reporter Rob Stokes to a 1953’ story about the death of Joe Southall on a deserted beach in Wales. Southall had gone to a Welsh resort to attend a convention. His clothing and van had been found and he was presumed drowned. A passport Southall received only days before he disappeared was not found. The theory at the time was that a wartime leg injury had hampered his swimming and he had drowned. Seven years later his English wife, who had received no insurance money and had seen her husband’s business go bankrupt, signed an affidavit that he was dead. “I was very poor but I still managed to live and wasn't hungry and still managed to educate the children and that was that,” she said. By then, Southall had started a new life in Canada with his second wife, an English woman almost 20 years his junior. They met in a Toronto Anglican church, married and moved to Holland Landing, where they had three sons. Southall rarely talked of his past and if he did it was restricted to war stories, his second wife said. He commuted to work at White's Fish, a fish store in Toronto, and was active in community affairs. He read Bible lessons, carried the collection plate and sang in the choir at church. ‘Those that knew him thought he was an upright member of the community, a good father and a nice man. “From what I know of Joe, it’s just totally out of character,” said Jack Hopkins a local municipal official. “He was a solid citizen as far as I was concerned,” said Alma Kitching, a warden of the church Southall attended. “He seemed a good husband, good to his wife, good to his children and a good provider.” His families, though, would now like to close the lid on the secret he so carefully kept for more than 34 years. “I don’t agree with what he did,” said his 24-year-old son, John, a landscaper in Kettleby, Ont. “Obviously what he did was wrong. But I'm aware of the man who was here and I know what a good person he was inside. Peasant Tuna In Vegetine' te rhe e we G.
