Big Thing Continued from Page 9 hearing originals,” he said. Big Thing’s tentative plan, Hauptmeier said, is to develop a wider song base of cover material before exploring original mate rial, “so we can essentially play entirely different sets from one night to the next.” Hauptmeier adds that Big Thing exists well outside the stereotype of a local rock ‘n’ roll band composed of hedonistic, treatment bound partiers. “Craig (keyboardist) made a staterr^' t once that this band was forrr a basically as a business. It was put together to seek out a group of talented people who wanted to play together and put ourselves through school at the same time,” Hauptmeier said. “We definitely like to have fun, and we drink our share of beer,” he said, “but as far as being on the treatment-bound path to self-destruction, I don’t think so. At least I hope not. Ask me the same question six months from now!” Havana Continued from Page 9 lection is “Life on the Line,” an up beat pop tune that makes for an inter esting contrast from the gloomier songs about people with no future. It shows signs of hit potential and substantial MTV airplay if released as a single. One of the most interesting songs of the collection is “Death in the Afternoon,” a song about bullfighters and death. A snippet of Mexican radio gives way to a cool combination of Mexican horns and jazzed-up reggae bass lines. Definitely not the usual fare on the alternative music scene. The mix of Havana 3AM’s musi cal styles makes its album unique without crippling them. Simonon, Dixon, and Myrick have done a nice job crafting the songs and making their statements without boring the listener. Overall, Havana 3 AM has an impressive debut album on its hands.

Three ensembles — with distinctly differ ent styles—are scheduled to perforin at Kimball Recital Hall. The 17-member UNL Jazz En semble will present its free concert Wednesday at 8 p.rn. in Kimball Recital Hall. The group will perform swing and samba pieces under the direction of David Sharp Solos will be featured in the jazz ensemble performance. UNL students Steve Doering, Tom Kelly, Kelly Rossum and Scott Vicroy will play solos. The week will be capped off by a Thursday evening performance by the 110-membcr concert band. The group, which will perform at Kimball Re cital Hall at 8 p.m., is composed of a wide variety of university students. It does not require auditions and many of its members are not music majors. Many of the band members play for fun or for a love of music, accord ing to Robert A. Fought. The group’s repertoire sounds familiar to those who performed in high school en sembles, Fought said. “The group tends to play tradi tional music. The concert is very lis tenable and lasts for under an hour,” Fought said. “Anyone who came would probably hear two or three pieces they would really enjoy.” On Thursday, the band will per form “A Musical Toast” by Leonard Bernstein, “Liturgical Music for Band” by Martin Mailman, “Kaddish” by W. Francis McBcth, “Chorale and Capriccio” by Anne Running, “The Engulfed Cathedral” by Claude De bussy and “Variations on a Korean Folk Song.” The Bernstein piece was selected by graduate assistant Jay Prallc and is intended as a tribute to the late com poser. “We select pieces that provide a variety for the audience and a chal lenge for the musicians and the stu dent conductors,” Fought said. Fought said he believed the vari ety of the band and the music would make for an enjoyable evening for all. “I think students would enjoy the concert if they were familiar with the music or with the band," Fought said. Last Sunday, the UNL Wind En semble gave a free concert at Kimball for about 70 listeners. The 51-mem ber band played Five modern pieces, including “Overture for Band” by John Heins, “Piece of Mind” by Dana Wilson, “Old Wine in New Bottles" by Gordon Jacob, “Arches" by Dan Welcher and “Symphony No. 1 — The Lord of the Rings ‘I. Gandalf — The Wizard” by Johan dc Meij. “Piece of Mind" is a difficult piece that presents a challenge for each player, said director lay Kloecker. “(Composer) Dana Wilson takes no prisoners in this piece,” Kloecker said. “It moves from swing to ragtime to samba.” The piece received first place in the Sousa Foundation’s 1988 Sudler International Wind Band Composi tion Competition and die 1988 Ameri can Bandmasters Associal lon/Oswald Prize. Cowboy Continued from Page 9 and yanks his father from the nursing home. They both move into Dad’s place and try to live together. Of course, they’re both a couple of or nery old cusses (as movie cowboys are wont to be) and conflicts immedi ately ensue. At the same time, H.D. is courting his old flame Jolie (Kate Capshaw), whom he snubbed many years back. She got married and had two children while he was away but her husband has since died. Well, wouldn’t you know, theirs is a love-hate relationship. She’s ini tially mad at him for leaving her but he’s such a husky charmer that she falls in love with him again anyway — just like always happens in real life. The story’s main conflict and sub sequent climax are centered on Ch eryl’s attempt to sell off Dad’s land. Knowing he’ll need money to fight her in court, H.D. decides to ride in a local rodeo where the grand prize is $100,000. “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys” isn’t bad. Even people who hate the cowboy lifestyle and country music should enjoy the movie. Glenn is almost perfectly cast and ably captures the butt-kicking spirit of today’s cowboys. Johnson as Dad is also excellent, subtly playing the grumpy and sage patriarch. The movie loses much of its ap peal near the end when it takes a “Rocky” approach to H.D.’s final rodeo gig. Against all odds, he nurses him self back to health and runs through a rigorous training montage under Dad’s watchful eye. His relationship with Jolic is also troubling. A strong, independent woman submits to him and his cow boy ways.She learns to love rodeo and and even begins to dress like a cow boy’s li’l woman — pretty pathetic stuff. Still, the movie is strong enough in other ways to make it somewhat rec ommendable. “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys” is playing at the Plaza 4 Theaters, 201 N.12th St. Classified 472-2588 3 Bicycles For Sale_ _ 1988 Schwinn le Tour, excellent shape.
