Members still singing
in a Trash Can Alley
By Chris McCubbin
Diversions Editor
A group that is quickly becoming a
tradition at Walpurgisnacht, Trash Can
Alley, TNL's five-man vocal experi
ence," will perform tonight in the
Nebraska I'nion Ballroom at 8:30 p.m.
Trash Can Alley formed three years
ago when Matt Meister and Todd Roberts
were watching "Rocky 11." In a scene of
that movie several young men stand
around a trash can singing "Two Kinds
of Love." This inspired Meister and
Roberts to form their own vocal group.
Meister and Roberts were members
of the UNL Varsity Men's Glee Club.
They recruited two other members of
that group, Greg McCown and Dave
Lancaster, and Roberts' roommate C.
Tood Cook, to form Trash Can Alley.
The original Trash Can Alley is still
together. McCown has graduat ed, Meis
ter is a UNL graduate student and Lan
caster is attending Nebraska Wesleyan
University. Cook and Roberts are still
UNL undergrads. No one in the group is
a music major.
Last year Trash Can Alley filled the
Ballroom and they expect to fill it again
this year. A Trash Can Alley show is
mostly for fun. The group performs in
fedoras and their customized "Trash
Can Alley" black leather jackets. They
keep the performance lively with plenty
of asides, little comic schticks, audience
interaction and choreography.
Their songs range from light vocal
jazz and rock'n'roll, with a predictable
predilection toward do-wop. Each mem
ber takes whatever part he feels most
comfortable with on a given song, so
during a show every member of the
group will hit at least once on every
part from low bass to high tenor.
Trash Can Alley comes up with an
all-new show every year and this
year's show debuts tonight. As he did
last year, Bill Sheldon will be doing a
"half-time show" of novelty songs.
The group's big project this year is a
three-state tour of Colorado, Wyoming
and western Nebraska over spring break.
Tonight's show cost three tickets
($1.50) four for non-students.

Music reflects Native American situation
Singer bridges cultures
By Greg Vest
Staff Reporter
Although the name Floyd Westerman
may be new to you, his music and
his message have been around for three
decades. While the message of the
music has changed, it has always
reflected the Native American situation.
Westerman, or Kanghi Duta (which
means Reed Crow), was born in 1930 on
the tall-grass prairie of South Dakota.
He is a member of Sisseton-Whapeton
American Indian tribe.
In the late 1960s the album "Custer
Died for Your Sins" was released. In
line with the times, it spoke of the
rights of Native Americans and their
religious, educational and social plight.
Westerman has become known as an
international ambassador for peace,
justice and the earth mother. He's
played benefits and concerts alongside
such musical talents as Harry Belafonte,
Willie Nelson and Pete Seeger. His two
albums of traditional songs as well as
blues, ballads and country tunes speak
of the soul of the earth and its people.
Currently, he travels the world,
revealing Native American culture and
"bridging the gaps between all cul
tures," said Lacoda Harden of the
Minorities Activity Council.
Westerman's latest release, "La
Tiera Es Tu Madre" (The Earth Is Your
Mother), reflects the need for peaceful
communication focusing on the hopes
of future generations and our role and
responsibilities as" caretakers of the
earth.
"Formany Native Americans, we've
grown up with his music, which has
given us hope and direction in this
dominant society," Harden said.
Best selling Indian author Vine
Deloria.Ir. described Westerman as "a
modern Jossoh whose songs heal and
comfort us."
Writer Jim Swan said his music is "a
fusion of yesterday, today and tomorrow
with a powerful vision of peace and
hope to carry us onward in the fight to
save the earth and its people."
Westerman's message of worldwide
harmony is currently being presented
in Brazil. He returns to the United
States on Feb. 5. He will play in the
Union Ballroom Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m.
Child care is available. The show will
be interpreted for the hearing-impaired.
