...blues very well, and hope she plays "waring Blender Blues," and see Little Feat, talented, but less than heralded. As for Butter, hope Better Days has improved over their appearance of last summer, when Amos Garret couldn't play a simple blues phrase on guitar, and old folkie Geoff Muldaur proved he could no more sing the blues than Diana Ross can sing Billie Holiday...
...vocal, the most fundamental aspect of playing blues guitar. Its overall listen ability was a combination of general enjoyment and the knowledge that there's really not much you can do to the 12 bar blues format. "Walking Blues" opened the set and set its Chicago blues tone. Muldaur's songs, mercifully, were all together, so they were out of the way quickly. His slow blues featured a lot of slurring of words, another major blues vocal tradition but mishandled by him so that it became merely irritating. (If you want to hear what slurring can do, in terms...
...band, unfortunately, doesn't have Bloomfield or Bishop, and that's the origin of its many problems.

Alexandra sulks around the place in her all-violet wardrobe, and can be discovered from time to time near the closed-over well in the front yard, prostrate with grief...
...starred in the original productions of both The Country Girl and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) and an acting teacher of special renown. It is difficult to fathom her reputation judging from her work here. She is flam boyant to the point of grotesquery, as is Miss Muldaur. But the Udvarnoky boys are appallingly convincing as the fey twins. Mulligan's special talent for directing children (Up the Down Stair case, To Kill a Mockingbird) is again splendidly in evidence here...
