Nuala Ni Chanainn (violin) -- She plays baroque music every other week with Brian Clague (violin), usually on Tuesday. They prefer to play inside the Coop. Originally from Ireland, Chanainn, who still speaks with a pronounced Irish accent, also plays folk music with a group called Amarcord (2 violins, accordion).

Crowded, not too large and not too bright, you'll find more people you know in this inexpensive pickup joint than you'll find in your dorm.

Most of the lyrics and melodies lack the unpredictability of the earlier Heads. Images of David Byrne bursting with tension and racing on cocaine won't flash through your mind on this one. This is relaxing music and sounds most like stuff you dry the dishes...

...kids in the audience seemed to prefer the brightly hued and wildly imaginative entries in the aesthetic design and aerobatics events. There were butterflies, dragonflies, bats, flying Supermen and airborne pineapples, as well as F-14 scale models, Star Wars fighters and twin-rotor helicopters. Curtis Haynie, 8, of Hood River, Ore., said his favorite was the slime-green "Flying Lizard," which, according to handling instructions written by its owner, should be fed "small rodents, twice daily." Contest sponsors emphasized that a child's interest in paper planes may lead to a career in aerospace, and even to breakthroughs...
