...oriented rock. The group's first single, Susie Q., rose to No. 11 on the Billboard charts last fall. Proud Mary was hit No. 2 in March, and the group's latest single, Bad Moon Rising, rose this week from No. 3 to No. 2. At recent concert dates, Creedence has been packing the crowds in with its lean, masculine sound, impeccable instrumental style and express-track delivery...
...concert of "Spontaneous Sound" by Christopher Tree nearly always creates a mood of tranquillity and introspection, whether it be given in a bar or behind bars. From Kenny's Pub in Manhattan to California's San Quentin Prison. Tree has mesmerized audiences with the elemental tones he coaxes from his collection of almost 200 percussion and wind instruments.

State police and Secret Service men surveyed half-filled rows of seats unsmilingly. Agnew stressed the progress...
Beneath a green and white candy-striped tent at the north end of the enormous grassy playing field that forms the main quadrangle of Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn., 18 students and faculty members in flowered sarongs and silken blouses prepared for a Javanese gamelan concert. They tuned and positioned a wondrous, gleaming assemblage of brass gongs, chimes and metallophones with ivory-colored resonators, all mounted on red lacquer and gilt frames with extravagant carvings of dragons and other beasts. Students, some barefoot, bearded and in jeans, crowded around with fascinated families or strolled the vast green...
