Singer Lights Up Fog
By TIM BRADLEY

At a time when the entire music business is falling victim to the ploys of a platoon of platformed pyro pyres determined to sainte the souls of the innocent pursues of the preabapety宝 Bonne Raunt (say, 'rate') is a beacon in the fog. It seems that the music industry ragged, without battle, musci or tripe.
Born and bred in Burbank, Raitt is no nephyte to show business, having been fathered by John Raitt, a musical comedy star in such chestnut as "The Pajama Game" and "Carousel." She wasn't too impressed with the Hotel Harper, but she went to Radcliffe for a while and got her start as a blues singer on the Cambridge to Philadelphia folk circuit.
Now a virtual vinyl veteran after three albums, Bonnie performs numbers that range from whoop-up rhytm-and-boost tunes that sizzle your synapses to soft, melancholy blues numbers that could make a crow cry.
Although her own compositions are too
few, she knows where to look for the prime cuts. On her records is the work of such lyrical luminaries as Jackson Browne, Mose Allison, Randy Newman and Sippie
The musicians who accompany her can feel her emotions too. Their playing is always perfect, never pusy and ever tasty. Her own slide-guitar playing is hotter than a two-dollar pistol and can best be heard on the second albums, "Give It Up."
Wallace. All the music exudes such un-
foreseeable influence that the albums leave
a lasting impression.
And on top of all this, Bonnie is not just a woman with a knack graveling for greenbacks. In several interviews, she's promised to use any excess earning groups and ultimately to deflate souring ticket prices by reducing her own fees.
Bonnie Haitt will be appearing with Martin Mull, the Horner and Jethro of Rock, New York.

Enthusiastic Audience Greets Soprano Alumna
By JIM McNICKLE
Kangaan Reviewer
Patricia Wise, lyric soprano, returned to her alma mater Saturday night to give an excellent combination of beauty and encouragement to an enthusiastic audience in Hoeh Auditorium.
Responding to the persistent applause of the audience, Wise extended her concert with two encores before greeting a large crowd backstage.
The extremely difficult recitative (statement) and aria song by Timanate, a major female role in Mozart's opera, "Demon佐oote," highlighted the first half of the concert. The selection contains the rapid scales, trills and arpeggios that coloratura soprans are expected to sing, although they attempt them until later in their career.
Wise, who is a 1966 KU graduate in music education, sang the selection with a facility and display of feeling that prompted three curtain calls.
Her performance preceding the Mozart aria included selections by Strauss, Wolf and Purcell, which she sang expressively but with a slight appearance of uncertainty about the audience. Nevertheless, her professionalism was always present.
Wise endeared the audience to her in the final half with tasteful programming of selections by Faure and Debusy. In "Adieu" by Faure, the final song in a group, she most effectively expressed the sadness but beauty of parting lovers.
In "Pantomime" by Debyssa she amused the audience with the pantomime's various encounters by using skillful facial expressions.
Coloratura soprano has by definition a light voice, but Wise's interpretation of Apparition' by Debusy had much depth. She also sang a small single can produce a very rich tone.
This tone was also evident in "The Trees on the Mountain," a love song from Floyd's album, *We've Gone Bad*.

Wise is believable offstage too. Her sincerity and appreciation of the audience was
Wise displayed a firm understanding again of dramatic expression in "Regnagna" (the first line) and the text begins with the description of a "bloody apparition" and ends with the "joyful remembrance" of a lover. Wise's transition from horror to joy was very clear.
