Timberline keeping up 'the spirit' with new
n. . f ll.n.L. I 1 .,:....: Tk. .J.J:: C" . I O -I JL! I . 1 1 I A . .
By Casey
The members of Timberline enjoy playing their music,
for both themsleves and the audience. And the group
says they hope the crowds will pick up on the good times
they continually have on stage.
Keeping up that spirit is an admirable quality for the
five piece band, which was on the road all but 35 days
last year. But new members and new material has put new
life in the band, which has been a Lincoln favorite for the
past few years.
Bass player Scott Fauns has been with Timberline since
New Year, while the March 16 performance of the band at
Personalities was only the 12th show for keyboardist
Ralph Goldhiem. Despite the newness of the situation, the
members are confident of the groups present capabilities.
"We're having more fun with the new members than
ever before," said rhythm guitarist and banjo picker Jim
Salestrom. "Music-wise, I think we've become much
better, the potential for the band is unlimited."
'There were good terms for the break-up with our old
bass and piano players," added drummer Craig Link. "It
was kind of a rare situation, but there are still nice feelings
between members. When a band's on the road as much as
we are, you become like a family. We realize that we're
going to have to live with these people you must be com
patible. Six years down the road, we'll know each other
completely."
Originated in Kearney by brothers Jim and Chuck
Salestrom seven years ago, they were joined by Link two
and a half years later. Doug Dougan, who had been pro
ducing Timberline 's demo tapes, took up as the group's

50TH
h ACADEMY
Bob Hope will serve as the sole
master of ceremonies for the 50th
Annual Academy Awards, which will
be telecast live Monday, April 3, on
ABC-TV.
The comedian's appearance will
mark the first time since 1967 that
one person has presided over an
Oscar show. Hope, coincidentally,
was the emcee at that time.
Hope was a unanimous choice
because he has been more closely
identified with Oscar than perhaps
any other Hollywood celebrity. He
has made 22 appearances on the
awards, a record among filmland
personalities. He also has served as
master of ceremonies 15 times,
another record, and was the sole
emcee on eight occasions. He first
officiated at an Awards show in 1940.
Through the years, Hope has been
honored by the Academy five
times.
The 50th Annual Academy Awards
will be held at the Dorothy Chandler
Pavilion of the Los Angeles Music
Center.

lead guitarist. The addition
created an extra demension, as both players add their own
material to the group.
"We're still putting things together, but the band's
really come together well," Link said. "We're excited
about the new members, and the new directions the
group's taking. It's going to be a little more rock, funk,
and jazz than we've done before. We're getting away from
country."
Timberline has established a reputation for being flex
ible in heir musical styles. The band has even gained no
toriety in the country circles, having toured with the
likes of Michael Murphey, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Ozark
Mountain Daredevils, and Dolly Parton.
"It was never our intention to be a country group,"
says Link. "After our album The Great Timber Rush, the
major record labels started dropping their country groups
unless they were really successful. Our label (Epic) even
dropped Michael Murphey, they thought country was on
the way out."
'They wanted us to change styles, but we thought
it was a good idea too," he said. "The whole idea for the
band has been to keep changing."
The people who become stars have always set the
trends, they don't follow them," Fauns noted.
But the experience Timberline has gained working with
various groups and people has helped the band create a
quality they find highly desirable-and that is diversity.
"One distinguishing factor about the group is our
ability to appeal to a variety of tastes. We can warm up
almost any type of crowd," Link said. "I think the band

O O THE BIG EVENT MOVIE
"Emergency! Most Deadly
will always be diverse. Any band if they play one style,
will bore a crowd quickly. Right now we're heading for
the high energy, rock sound."
"But we also were opening for Dolly Parton, and she
draws the hard-core, Porter Waggoner-type crowd. We
were always well received because of our knowledge of
country music," he added.
The band recently has been playing in their home base
of Denver to try to get the act together and concentrate
on new material from Fauns and Goldhiem. But they
hope to resume more extensive touring in the near future,
and have a tentative tour set up with the Ozark Mountain
Daredevils which would start in South Dakota and travel
through outstate Nebraska and eventually play at the Or
pheum Theater and Creighton University in Omaha.
Timberline has played in the college circuit all over the
country, and according to the group, it has produced
some of the most enjoyable performances.
"It's the ideal situation as far as we're concerned," says
Link. "Nightclubs get old fast. People just come to drink
and talk and listen to the band. But in our own concerts,
they're coming to hear us. It's easier to form a line of
communication."
"We don't just play with a wall between us," observed
Salestrom. "We have fun with the audience, we have fun
on stage. When you're spontaneous, it gives energy, it's
important to have the energy flow out, and come back
from the crowd."
"People see the band having a good time, and really
pick up on it," Link said. "Playing our music is the most
fun we have. If you don't have a good time, well, you
ought to be doing something else."
