Cole Tuckey on Rye sliced to perfection
It's becoming common knowledge that Cale Tuckey on Kyle isn't part of the menu at
The group's unusual name was contri-
buted by the group's members, who, in search-
ing for the object, were found at the site.
Cole Tucker has been making its name well known all over the area for about a half century. He attended Lawrence and Kansas City nightclubs, the group reportedly even received a louder ovation than Bonnie Raitt when it backed the female vocalist last spring in Columbia,
Review
After witnessing the tremendous response the musical quintet received last weekend at the Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union, I'm convinced more people are appreciating this unique group from Lawrence with the unusual name.
It would be erroneous to slap the label "rock" on this band. In fact, much of Cole Tuckey's material is a bowback to the big old band. "308" and "408—a nastalja lover's delight
variation of the southern pronunciation of the word "turkey." But it's not the name that's been catching everyone's attention. It's the music.
Slender and willow Allen Weiss, who plays rhythm guitar and piano, clearly is the group's leader. He's the creative force behind the band. His songs he also doubles as director of the band.
The music is both stimulating and refreshing, probably because it's so different from what we normally hear from college-town bands. Cole Tuckey combines western swing, folk, rockabilly, bebop jazz with pop and hip-hop sounds, sound that is a welcome change from the bludgeoning, amplified music so many students hear these days.
What's most amazing about Cole Tuckey is that the repertoire for its stage show consists almost entirely of original songs. Most groups, whether they're playing anything from country and western to jazz, occasionally must rely on contemporary tunes to keep listeners interested. Cole Tuckey's solo arrangements are his own arrangements without boring anybody; last weekend the music brought some listeners into a dancing franny.
Women...
His role seems to come naturally to him, possibly a result of his extensive musical background. Weiss's father led a Philadelphia dance band, and Weiss himself is a journeyman of the Los Angeles music scene, having run a coffeehouse and having

as begrudging compliance with Title IX requirements.
The Williams Educational Fund at KU allocated $30,000 to the women's program this year and within five years, scholarship funds available to women will equal those provided for male athletes participating in no-revenue-collecting sports.
NONE OF THE PEOPLE interviewed from other Big Eight universities said that any additional funds had been given to their women's departments, or that they expected any such action before fall 1977, the deadline for Title IX compliance.
Marian Washington, director of women's intercollegiate athletics at KU, said the increased funding would undoubtedly help the top of *Big Eight* women's athletics.
"The commitment of our administration is a major positive factor not enjoyed by all universities," she said. "Also, Clyde Walker, athletic director, demonstrated his interest in our program by initiating this funding action."

Weiss contributes a constant, sardonic chatter between songs, which he says came from the work of Mozart.
played at reputable clubs like the Troubadour.
"You don't get away with not talking in a coffeehouse," he said recently. "You have to do something between songs besides tune your guitar."
Weis' arrangements emphasize vocals plus tight instrumental backup, with guitarist Paul "Weasel" Dalen and fiddler James Tameson supplying instrumental
Jarneson, known in Lawrence for her affiliation with the Billy Spears Band, also songs her share of lead music, and she and Weiss freely exchange harmonic parts.
Dalen's guitar solos reflect a clever sense of harmonics; he seems to punch out the biting riffs when they're needed. His jazzy, floating introduction and rapid-fire lead show off his raw energy, "a song that characterizes Cole Tucke's country swing, similar to Dan Hickel."
In the rhythm section, Keith Bowser plays steadily, though not spectacularly, on strings. The band's most famous Boston's highly reputed Berklee School of Music, is Cole Tuckey's most polished instrumentalist. His bass lines are firm,演唱, and often laced with appealing fills.
"Gee," a friend remarked as we left Cole Tuckey's show on Saturday, "with that girl on fiddle, they could have really gotten into some Marshall Tucker or Charlie Daniels."
Sure, they could have. But why bother to play other artists' songs when you can use their own lyrics?
And that's what makes Cole Tuckey on Rye so good.
