...center of most of the other dance numbers is Shannon Thompson, a girl who can't help but ignite you spinal chord. Miss Thompson is, quite simply, the best musical comedienne Cambridge could ever hope to have. From the first time I saw her (as a stripper in Gypsy, looking something like an eight-foot tall slutty butterfly), I knew this girl could do no wrong. As Lola, the sexiest witch of all time, she grabs more laughs than anyone (including no doubt the authors), ever knew existed in the role. Even here dancing has a certain humorous, self-mocking...
Similarly it is clear that the question of restructuring the University did strike a responsive chord in the University community.

Thus if you're playing in the Key of E in the chord of E the third scale note is G and the seventh is D. Another Blues note is the fifth scale degree (B in the Key of E). These notes give the music the distinctive Blues sound. Out of this basic framework black musicans have created over the years the remarkable body of material that one chooses to lump under...
...Blues classic like Sonny Boy's "Help Me." This song is "Dust My Blues" (written by Robert Johnson) and it opens with an explosive burst from James's slide guitar and it rocks like only the greatest rock songs. The rhythm section pounds through the basic 12 bar chord changes and James shouts out his lyric about his "no good" woman...
