everybody gets off on it one way or another," Dorfmeyer
said. .
"Hes not from Oklahoma and doesn't mean to alienate
people," he said, "ilerle just saw a sisn (shout Okies
from Muskogee) and said, I bet they don't smoke mari

"Merle isn't a red neck in the typical sense," he said.
Some of the band members have long hair for a country-western
band, according to Dorfmeyer.

Kirshaw used to have a gap about a fourth of an inch

changes initial impression
By Douglas Wfel
With a name like Ambrosia, a second
album titled Somewhere Vs Never Travel
ed, and Alan Parsons (Dark Side of the
Moon and Tales of Mystery end Imagina
tion) as producer, there was little question
in my mind as to what type of music to
expect from tins quartet of Southern
California musicians.
- After listening to the first two tracks of
Somewhere I've Never Traveled. I was
feeling pretty good about knowing what to
expect from this band.
Suddenly something happened on the
third cut that I'm not sure I've recovered
from yet. It wasn't much of a surprise to
hear flie- song "Cowboy. Star" begin m a
style similar to the previous two songs.
But before I knew what was happening,
my stereo was pounding out what sounded
" tie the soundtrack for the latest John
' Wayne-WSEam lloiden Western. -
Bat I was wrong it was Ambrosia.
Previously I had been listening in only
a "half-eared" fashion but now I backed up
the turntable arm to take a closer look at
this unusual band.
Ambrosia is remarkable in that the
group is s51e to tske a classy array of
strings, trombones, orchestral chimes,
glockenspiel and even bicycle spokes and
use them in a clasical sense without sacri
ficing their identities as rock musicians.'
Ambrosia performed st Lincoln's Persh
ing Auditorium last Sunday night, and al
though they turned in a strong perfor
mance the crowd of about 4J0O0 gave them
no more than a hand-in-the-pockets recep
tion. -
Still, Ambrosia bass player Joe Puerta
was pleased with the group's performance.
"I felt we went over very well with the
front rows," said the curly-haired bassist
" don't think the sound projected out as it
should have. Usually if we can make the
audience fee! the music, they'll get into the
band.
"This concert is just to let people know
who we are." "
When questioned about the . band's
many styles, Puerta said. "Our influences
' are worldwide. We lony1dnd of music
that's great -blues, R and B, really great
rock, classical and even folk music from
countries outside of the United
Members of Ambrosia, according to
Puerta, are active songwriters. .
"For the second album we had about
70 tar.es we were choosing from," Puerta
r
Ambrosia has been on the current tour
for about three weeks, Puerta said, and last
year they toured with Peter Fnmpton,
Supertramp, The Beach Boys and Fleet
wood Mac.
Last year Fleetwood Mac took to the
road to promote their album, Fleetwood
Afcx Partly as a result of Mac's endless
touring, the album has sold more than a
million copies.
"When we toured with Fleetwood Mac,
we learned from them," ssid Puerta.
"There are still a lot of people that haven't
heard of Ambrosia.
Ve figure that the best way to let peo
ple know about the band is to take it to
them. WeU be on the road indefinitely."
