...gutsy at the same time" when she sings and plays acoustic guitar tonight. Friday it's Lenny Solomon, who is still trying to remove the ham in last week's Idler Special from his teeth, followed by Reeve Little on Saturday and Sunday. Monday, Chris Rhodes and Koko Dee do whatever they did last Monday, only crunchy, and Tuesday the Brattle Streetband performs humorous British Isles folk music. Wednesday, Jon McAuliffe "does a lot" with the "rasping, Dylan-quality in his voice" and a guitar--some reggae, too.

Nowadays Billy Dee is firmly tied with a Gordyan knot-a guaranteed annual income of $200,000 whether he works or not, plus percentages of his films. A loner who lives quietly in a modest three-bedroom house in Laurel Canyon with his Japanese-American wife Teruko and three children, Williams spends free time meditating, sketching, writing poetry and working out daily in a gym.
