They come onstage like three hippies and an undertaker's assistant: a blond-mustached leader who looks like a young General Custer in buckskin and beads, a guitarist wrapped in a double-breasted blue jacket and a pageboy haircut, a woolly thatched drummer who appears to be wearing an entire rummage sale-and a gaunt, somber bassist in black mufti. What is more, their music is as motley as their garb. The blues jostle with Bartok. Country and western blurs into flamenco. Rock blares through misty impressionism...
Among manufacturers of radio pagers, Motorola dominates, with about 80% of the market. Its Pageboy receivers range in price from $180 for low-frequency units, to $275 for VHP.

Carlson, 52, works mostly on the road, usually as his own guest. Carlson started 35 years ago as a pageboy, worked his way from front desk to executive office. He took time out as president to run the successful Seattle World's Fair, but now is busier than ever inspecting new sites and blueprints for his growing network. Last week he was in Detroit to check out with Architect...
