Steels: one slick' player
By Doreen Charles
The Nebraska Union's Colonial Room
cramped the crowd which gathered to hear
Anthony Steels sing last Friday night
during the Walpurgisnacht.
Anthony Steels, known as "Slick" to
most, and a member of the Comhusker
football team, not only sings but is a self
taught piano player. He has been playing
for two years and, having had no formal
training, plays totally by ear.
Originally from California, Steels, whose
father is in the Air Froce, has traveled all
over the world, including Greece and
Spain. He attended school in Spain where
his high school coach recommended that
he come to Nebraska to play football.
"I walked on and earned a scholarship,"
said Steels, who is now a second-year
sophomore.
Steels discovered his musical talent by
teaching himself to play on a residence hall
piano.
"I guess I get my talent from my
father," he said. He has developed im
mensely in two years and has played in
several talent shows. He sang at the Orange
Bowl in Miami with the Orange Bowl
queen.
Steels does not practice regularly and,
although he cannot read music, has created
songs. He plans to take a music course
sometime.
"I still would like to know what I'm
playing," he said. "Right now, if somebody
asked me what key I was playing in, 1
couldn't tell them."
Steels admits the controversial assault
case involving him last semester still is in
the minds of many and said he regrets the
negative connotation it has given his name.
Although the woman who pressed char
ges against Steels, eventually asked that the
charges be dropped. Steels said he never
got a chance to publically clear his name.
"But I don't worry about it," he said.
"People who know me know I didn't do
it."
He plans to stay with Nebraska and
hopes to get drafted by a professional team
after graduation.
"If I don't play football, I'd like to
teach." he said. "I like to work with kids."
A singing career is also a possibility for
Steels, who said he has plans for more
public appearances such as a show at a big
hall, and possibly performing in various
bars.
Since the Walpurgasnacht performance,
Steels admits his popularity has increased.
"A lot of people come up to me that I
never saw before," he said. He was
impressed with the crowd that showed up
to hear him.
"I'd like to thank everybody for
coming," he said. "I also want to thank
Brent Williams for being announcer, and
Russel Gary, Rodney Lewis, and my drum
mer Paul Hansen for helping out."
