Downbeat called Horton's playing "funky, lowdown, sensitive, tasteful and what the blues should be." Horton is probably one of the last and the best of a rare breed-blues harmonica players. In his 40-year career, Horton has achieved only sporadic commercial success and is known more for his influence on other blues harmonica players such as Carey Bell and Little Walter Jacobs. Horton's fans often have been other musicians because his complex playing style requires attentive listening. He offers no gimmicks in his performances. Horton has recorded the backup for many well-known groups, including Savoy Brown, Fleetwood Mac and Johnny Winter. Allison, 34, has been in the music business 18 years. "I was raised in the streets, that's why I play the blues," he said. Allison is known for "Chicago-style blues," the persistent 12-bar blues shuffle. He has been called a virtuoso on the lead guitar. Now backed by drums, bass and organ, Allison also has traveled with bands that have eight members. After years of relative obscurity, Horton and Allison are receiving public attention and have cut new records. Tickets for the performance tonight are available at the Union south desk and Dirt Cheap. They cost $2 for UNL students and $3.50 for the general public. By K.

(PG) Haymarket Gallery Show Two art collections on the heritage of the plains will be shown in the Haymarket Art Gallery, 119 So. 9th St., beginning Saturday. The first, showing until Oct. 13, is a se lection of water-colors and drawings by the late Mrs. H.C. Filley. Culled from the collections of children and friends by her daughter, Mrs. Ed Schwartzkopf, Filley' work is noted for both its delicacy of coloration and its flow ing draftsmanship, marred only by an occasional awkwardness of perspective. The second, on display until Oct. 27, is the Haymarket's major 1975 group exhi bition. Entitled Heritage: Prairie .Archi tecture, the exhibit features the work of fifty area artists, portraying both the common and the seldom seen aspects of edifices that dot the Midwest plains. Standouts in the exhibit include "Arm istice Day" and "Quilt Show" by Ted Koosier, "Boarded Up" by Michael Weirl and "Sunlight" by Diane Ostdick. Although the show has a number of pieces suffering from a void of artistic technique or vision, much of the exhibit remains a satisfying remembrance of the austere beauty that marks the Midwest. Saturday, Oct. 4, Jefferson Starship will make it's first Lincoln appearance at 8 pjn. in Pershing Auditorium. Their current hit, "Miracles," on the Red Octopus album, is ranked number 15 on the KLMS radio station top 30. The album itself is presently at the top of the Billboard charts. , Starship, headed by Grace Slick of the former Jefferson Airplane fame, has been successful in keeping their music together after numerous turnovers. Slick claimed, in JifBOOIb wmmm w www m m SHELDON ART GALLERY 12th & R Sts. "X. Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. - in TEE TESEF OF Ml F U on a recent interview, that the group is more of a family than a band, that is the main reason they have been able to keep together.

Currently Starship has eight members: Pete Sears, Crag Chaquico, David Freiberg, John Barbota, Marty Balin, Paul Katner, John Creach and Grace Slick.
