...galaxie--Famed Actor Visits Rhinelander Campground (I'm getting to the point). Noted television actor James Whitmore spent last night at Franz and Irma's Camp Park (all bars, and there are many in Wisconsin, are like this, Dick and Judy's Supper Club, Fritz and Jean's Keyboard Lounge). The star was spotted on the street by several Rhinelander residents almost immediately, and they reported it to this newspaper, which gained an exclusive interview. The who-what-when-where continued: Whitmore had been on a fishing trip with his wife and two teenage sons in Canada...
When he put his mind to it, he was a brilliant pianist, but he usually composed his many operas, ballets, concertos, chamber music and 15 symphonies right on the page without reference to the keyboard. He claimed that he could write in a doghouse, as-officially, at least-he often did. Beyond his work, his enthusiasms were soccer and chess...

Things perk up considerably with the first picture, "The Gnome," a succession of subterranean squeaks and giggles that resemble a band of tipsy trolls frolicking beneath Frankenstein's castle.

Drawing on both classical and jazz traditions, Taylor's music defies classification. Often described as a percussive pianist, Taylor needs no rhythm section to make his compositions swing, they do so inherently. Taylor hits the keyboard hard, stabbing out long strings of single notes, then suddenly plunges into heavy chords. The juxtaposition of the two is so rhythmic that at times it approaches a ragtime beat...
...struggling to learn to operate the engineer's console. It took over a year to complete the record, and Flack says that she will never do all that again. She is confident that her new album, Feel Like Makin' Love (Atlantic), which lists Rubina Flake on the keyboard, on background vocals and as producer, is her best LP yet. But it is possibly too elaborate: the orchestrations have more Rachmaninoff than most of the simple songs can support...
