Music for everyone
Lawrence is a good city for musical groups, according to musicicians who work with the band.
The four musicians, who represent rock, jazz and bluegrass music, think that all types of music are popular in Lawrence and of the diversity of the people who live here.
"ILawrence is probably the best city in the Midwest to have a jigsaw in group." Gray said.
Because of the varied musical audience in Lawrence, all the musicians said it was hard to tell what kind of music Lawrence prefers.
Greg Arnold, a rock musician currently practicing with a new group, said he thinks it will be fun to play.
"I think there is a tremendous potential rock audience in Lawrence," Doug Gunn, drummer for the Stone Warner Band, said. "I was very familiar with country-rock, jazz and classical music."
Paul Gray, a jazz musician who plays in the Glaight Gas Digeland Band and owns his own jazz establishment, said that he also gives the jazz audience and that it is still staring.
"Right now I'd say the university audience likes to grow between rock and a cave."
"A LOT OF people in Lawrence like bluegrass music because it has a lot of * spirit* and makes you feel good when you listen to it." she said.
According to Gloria Throne, a bluegrass musician who plays the bass in a group called The Lemming Family, there are a lot of bluegrass music fans in Lawrence.
Although Throne didn't think that Lawrence's bluegrass bluestead had any
distinguishing characteristics, the other three musicians said that the audiences
GUNN SAID that audiences here drink more beer than others.
Gray said that Lawrence's jazz audiences are the most knowledgeable ground.
Arnold said that the audiences here are very serious listeners and that they are very
Even though Lawrence is a good market for musical groups, Arnold said he thought there would be some changes in the near future.
IN LAWRENCE, rock musicians are paid from $10 to $60 per night. A jazz musician can earn from $17 to $15 per night and a singer can make anywhere from $10 to $50 per night.
According to the musicians, the best night to draw a large crowd differs with the type of music being played. Jazz gets its biggest audiences on Saturday nights, while rock bands get their biggest crowds on Wednesday or Thursday nights.
"That's because there is too much competition on the weekends." Gum said.
Gray said that a jazz musician can make a play in Lawrence just from *playing* music. However, the rock musicians said that they are relatively extensively to earn enough money to live.
Thore said it is very hard to earn a living anywhere from playing bluegrass.
Lawrence nightlife? The two words may seem contradictory, but there is much activity for students during the evening hours.
For those who like disco, Shenanigan's,
901 Mississippi St., could fill the bill.
Complete with strobe lights, Shenanigan's
has a large dance floor and plays disco
music from 8 p.m. until midnight Monday
through Saturday.
"I think there will be a big change in Lawrence within the next year," he said. "There will be a lot more professional bands with professional musicians that will be very versatile because now you have to play on one type of music to make money."

One of the few cimbalon players in the United States will perform with the Lawrence Symphony at its Sept. 19 performance, responding to Towson's personnel manager for the symphony.
Charmaine Asher Wiley, director of percussion at the University of Missouri at Kansas City and wife of symphony conductor Russell Wiley. University of Kansas professor emeritus of music, will perform a bassoon recital on the opera" Hary Janes" by Zodani Kaldan.
"The cimbalom can sound like a cross between a harp and a piano, and can either have a very mellow sound or a harsh sound." Charmaine Wille said.
Cimbalom player to visit
they said that all cimbalombs are handmade and very rare. Her own cimbalom is a concert grand made in the middle 1800's. Its signature is a Budapest in 1956 and cost her $4,500.
"I would hate to try to estimate the cost now since they are so rare. They get better with time."
In describing the cimbalom Wiley said that the piano-like instrument had a rectangular shell and a soundboard on which rest small wires with many bridges. The strings are struck across the bridges with special mallets..
The mallets are hand-made for each individual of the same wood as violin bowls. The mallets are then padded with different materials for different sounds.
"It is a very difficult instrument to play." she said. "It would be similar to taking the lift off a piano and standing in the bin, and playing the strings with a mallet."
Wiley described the Hungarian piece as an "embellished style of music," requiring her to play fast runs while carrying the melody.
According to Liley, the other two pieces the symphony will play are the Overture from Mozart's "Don Giovanni" and Brahm's Second Symphony.
Lilley said that the symphony board had decided this year to have free admission. They hoped this policy would attract more people to their concerts.
The second concert will be held about

"Past high school and college graduates had no opportunity to play their instruments so they started a symphony to have a place to play," McKinney said.
"The long goal range is to keep playing and widen the musical horizons of the townpeople by hearing live symphony music."
Lley said that the symphony currently had 75 or 80 members. He said that 8 or 10 were high school students, 20 were college students, 20 faculty members, and 30 were city residents.
