Blues band to ‘whip’ up a storm
By Jill O’Brien
Staff Reporter
When wisecrackin’, whip-toting
Molly Elswick (Miss Molly to fans)
and her band show up at the Zoo Bar
Thursday and Friday n igh ts, the crowd
is sure to snap to attention.
M iss Molly can brand ish a bul 1 whip
as well as belt out the blues.
“I don’t use my whip too much any
more, but when I get to new places I
like to snap it around the boys’heads,”
site said.
Her whip, coupled with her extro
verted personality, has come close to
getting her and the rest of the band
into serious trouble, she said, recall
ing the time she snapped her whip
over the head of former President
George Bush.
“The band was playing at a debu
tante party,” she said. “That was when
George was vice president. I heard
maybe he was going to come. 1 didn’t
really care, but I looked up and there
he was, so I cracked my whip — and
it sounded like a gun.”
Bush was thrown to the floor and
buried by his bodyguards. Secret ser
vice agents drew guns, the crowd
ducked heads, and the band members
put their hands up in the air, bul Miss
Molly was still clutching her whip.
“There was a Secret Service man
with a gun in my face, and I’m laugh
ing like a hyena going, ‘Hey, George
... touchy, touchy.’ The whole inci
dent lasted about 50 seconds,” she
said. “It was a hoot.”
When Miss Molly isn’t cracking
her whip, she’s singing and writing
blues songs. Her band, appropriately
named the Whips, performs “a blues
influenced, rock-tinged thang,” she
said. But her self-titled debut album
also contains a lot of country instru
mentation.
Her second album, “In the Gar
den,” scheduled for a summer release,
is completely different in instrumen
tation nothing fancy, she said.
“We’re just a bare-boncs road band,'
not a lot of frills,” she said. “It’s the
only way to do it.”
The Whips have backed her sing
ing for four years, she said, but the
current incarnation has been together
only a few weeks, she said.
The current Whip lineup includes
drummer Eric Tucker; bass player
Gene Kurtz,who recorded with Booker
T.and Edgar Winter; and keyboardist
Lanier Grcig, who has previously re- _
corded with ZZ Top.
Keith Blair, lightning-lead guitar
ist, has several slick movesofhis own.
Miss Molly said.
“He’s like a total swamp fox out of
Louisiana. He’s a young man who
plays guitarlike it was his last day on
earth,” she said.
Miss Molly, 30, said there was
never any doubt she was going to be a
singer. At the age of9, she sang Palsy
Cline songs to muddy rice farmers in
her mother’s Louisiana bar.

“There’s only a few things a girl
can do when she’s from Nowhere,
U.S. A,Getting married is oncofthcm,
but 1 took a harder road. I wouldn’t
give anything for it cither.” *
Judging from the voice and dispo
sition of Miss Molly, the harder road
has built strength and character.
“I’m sick to death of the wimpy
little quality of women we have in
rock now.1’ she said. “Nobody looks
strong to me. I hope that some point in
time we can get some real women up
on the screen, instead ofpouty-lippcd
little girls who are singing about all
those things I’m quite sure they’ve
never known.”
She said she was worried because
oflhccxamplctho.se lightweight sing
ers were setting for young girls.
“Ill that sense. I’m inspired to be
furious, unguarded and wild,” she
said.
Educator will speak
at college dedication
High school music
ailing in cities,
instructor says
By Paula Lavigne
Senior Reporter
In the public schools, band and
choir are often the only musical
exposure students receive. Their
education stops at the memoriza
tion of notes and theory. ,4 •
Richard Colwell, head of music
education at the New England Con
servatory of Music, is trying to
change that by working closely wi th
the new National Standards for
Music Education.
Colwell, a former bassoonist,
will be presenting his ideas for
music education reform during the
dedication of the College of Fine
and Performing Arts this weekend.
“We’re trying to make sense out
of the role of national standards in
arts education and how it will im
pact music education “Colwell said.
He said emphasis would be taken
off memorization and performing
and placed on criticism and analy
sis.
The method of music education
at all levels of instruction is poor,
he said.
“We do a miserable job for the
general college student,” Colwell
said.
He said that because colleges
were setting these low standards,
hig{i schools and elementary
schools followed in their paths.
One major problem in music
education is that teachers don’t meet
national standards, he said.
“The teacher makes all the dif
ference. It’s not the curriculum. If
you go from a good teacher to a bad
teacher, the music program can go
to smithereens overnight.”
There are no arts teachers in the
New York City Public Schools sys
tem, Colwell said. Finding and
funding teachers for arts education
in the inner cities is becoming a
widespread concern, he said.
“There is certainly better access
to students in Lincoln, but not in
major cities,” he said.
A “peace corps” clTort is what is
needed to bring teachers into these
cities because teachers educated in
suburbs usually go back only to
teach in suburbs.
Colwell will be giving a lecture
entitled “Will Voluntary Standards
Fix the Potholes of Music Educa
tion?” at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in
Westbrook Music Building.
