Tired of the same dull classes? Then,
how about a course in the blues? Your
instructor is none other than Magic
Slim with his Teardrops. Slim has
spent more than 30 years paying his
dues to the blues music scene, so yea
know his credentials ere impeccable.
Wednesday night the Zoo Bar, 135 N.
14th St., was filled with enthusiastic
students of the blues. Why i3 Slim so
popular in the Capital City? "I just
come here to do my job. Nothln' fanny.
Just playin' straightforward blues".
And play he did. At G-fect-Mnches,
265 pounds, Slim is big enough to make
his guitar look like a small toy in his
hands.
But this is not child's play. This is
serious business. Serious blues busi
ness. Slirn's style is down-home Missis sippi
delta blues mixed in with sonic
Chicago style funk.
Although Siki says his style comes
from a let of blucsraen, the irfiuer.ee of
Muddy Waters, B.B: King and Elmore
James stood out as the night progressed
Slim shouts out the words (the blues
don't have lyrics, they have words,)
with the gritty force of a preacher gene
bad. This is none of your glossy, cleaned
up blues ll'.a B.B. Kteg in new playing
in Las Vegas with a 5,GC0 piece band.
This is tha msan and dirty blues you
earn with haid times and sweat. This is
industrial strength blues.
The Teardrops themselves were
especially up to the purpose. John
Pryma, on rhythm guitar, sained with
his version of "Hideaway," a blues
standard. He also picvided fine har
mony that skillfully complemented
Slirn's hard-driving sound.
After a tour of tha United States,
Slim and the Teardrops cxe off to Can
ada, then perhaps to Eur?; e, to pro
mote their latest albur.n, T. V. Dinner
Dines, which U on the Elue Doj label.
What's it like to play in Eurepe?
"It's funny. They can't understand a
word I say, but they get into the
feeling."
Whether you're a novice or an old
hand at the blues, you'll get that warm
bluesy feeling when yoa sea Slim end
the Teardrops.
Classes in the blues will be tonight
through Wednesday at the Zoo . Car '
starting at 9. The Zoo is closed on

But she said inspiration is often a state of mind
for her ar.d she spends at least an hour writing
everyday.
Oles, whose third poetry collection will be
published this fall, said she started writing
while attending William Cuiien Bryant "High
School in Queens, N.Y., out cf her "desire to
create." She said she erjeyed vnitirg in high
school but felt self-conscious about her work.
"I never showed it to anyone," Oles said. '
Oles said growing up in Queens was a "stable"
time of her life. Although her parents were not
writers, she said, they have influenced her writ
ing by being sources for material. Oles said her
second book, "Quarry," centers on "the stone
carver," a chancier who represents her father.
Oles said she prefers poetry to prose becsusa ,
she likes "writing in short units." She tried
longer forms cf writing but she said she didn't
feel as successful.
"It's a matter of doing what I'm better at,"
01c3 said.
Oles received a bachelor's degree from Queens
College in New York and did her graduate work
at the University cf California at Berkeley. She
has taught at several New York high schools, the
American Schcc! cf Tangier in Morocco, Clark
University in Wcrckester, Mass, and Is on the
.staff of the University cf Massachusetts at
Ecstoa
She is also a staff member of the Bread Loaf
Writer's Conference in Vermont, a two-week writ
ing workshop conducted each saxsier for selected
writers from acress the nation. Sh-s has worked
as a stringer at the Newton Times in Newton,
Mass., has edited for Ginn and Co. in Essie?, end
has written peciry reviews for newspapers and
Nation ras'sdns. She received an ewsrd from
the National Endowment for the Arts tnd m
honor from the Poetry Society cf America in '
1883.
Oles said she wants to "just keep going" with
her writing. She said her fastiJy sometimes gets
in the way of her wriiir but it has he!:

"Hi'dng a family deepens your understanding
of people," Oles said.
Oles said she has been influenced ty extem
porary writers such as Adrian Eleh and'Willlarj
llstthews becatise they "enrkh" her life.
They show me a new wiy to usa the lai

Oles' poetrywilections include "The Lcr.sU

book is titled "Night Watches: Inventions oa the
Ufa of Maria Mitchell," based on the life cf the
first woman named to the Academy cf Arts and
Sciences.

writing is "clear, intelligent, lively and pro-

You feel like catching a movie this
weekend, but unfortunately the pock
etbock has grown a bit thin lately. Also,
you really can't really justify spending
$3.75 to see "Porky's Eevenge" or Hal
