Have you heard about the Walk of
the Stars proposed for Sixth Street
... with the big two-story star being
erected over the intersection of 6th and
Red River ... maybe we can put a
few stars down of our own . . . The
Sixth Street Conservation Association
plans stars for Jerry Jeff Walker, and
Stevie Ray Vaughn first ... I would
have expected the first to go to Wlllie
Nelson .. . maybe Divine? ... who
would yo have immortalized in cement
... old husbands don't count! ...
Speaking of Stars, Tony Rose, the
fabulous impersonator who does
characters ah-la Jim Bailey, Charles
Pierce will bring his incredible tour to
Texas beginning March 1st at Snuffy's,
then Bolt in San Antonio, back to Austin
and Badlands. He's opening the
show here with Alexis from Dynasty
. . . he does many, many characters
... this is a one of a kind show! I
forgot to let you know the Blister Sisters
will be at Badlands on the 22nd
of February before Tony Rose's show
on March 1st at Snuffy's,
Triple Dip (Nicole, P.T. and Tiffany)
opened their Double Delight
show last Wednesday with a choreographed
number ftom Dream Girls that
was the tea . . . they also had a male
impersonator who was so good that I
cruised her before I found out he was
a she . . . sometimes you need a program
to know . . . I noticed in TW'I:
that Nick John who used to be a barback
at the Crossing has released his
new single, Planet 9 on Megatone
Records ... not only is he cute, but
he can sing! Speaking of singing, a
West Coast recording label has listened
to Gregg Barthge tapes and are very
interested in him as a singer and
songwriter . . . Gregg comes up with
Dolli from San Antonio all the time
when the Headliners are here and both
he and Dolli have volunteered to help
with fundraisers . . . Good Luck
Gregg!
Welcome to the staff of the Mirror,
Reggie, our new in-house art director
... some of you know him due to the
Boo Boo Kitty Club and their parties
. we know him because of his great
folio! Also, we have a new staff
member in Houston, co-publisher
Nick's brother, Alexis Loutchaninoff
who will be calling on accounts there.
There's a touching phenomenon
happening at the Cellar on Sundays
. . . Ray sums up his feelings about
the live entertainment competitions in
his sentiment of wishing he could
help each of them with their careers
... helping them with demos and getting
the recognition they deserve and
the financial rewards that their discovery
would bring ... the performers
have a forum to perfect their talents
and the audience receives the kind of
rewards only a live performance can
bring. Ray and George are providing
them with this format and everyone is
having a wonderful time . . . The
judges (Ray Marshall, Travis Rich, and
Shannon McCullough) had a difficult
time selecting the finals winner of this
series . . . the winner won by one
point whatever that means . . . the
diversity of the singerss and their material
makes the competition difficult to
gage ... it becomes as much a matter
of taste as well as entertainment •..
Ray wishes he could give each of
them big prizes.
The winner of the first series was
Jeff Caseltine, second was Sam Lohr,
and third was Heather Raye ... Bernie
Siben discusses the Starsearch, in
his opinion, elsewhere in the Mirror.
I finally got to hear K. T. Taylor sing
"Upon this Rock" and Pour on the
Power" ... I've got to say he is sen-sational
... he has a distinctive voice
and enormous talent . . . He, Riki
(Roland, actually), Melvin, Mary
Baldree, Jeff, Leo, Heather, Sam,
Freddie, Alvin, Floyd and some of
the audience got the spirit and closed
the show with some ,gospels.
The final song was a rousing version,
Austin style,' of the song of the
year . . . That's What Friends Are
For! It's happening at the Cellar on
Sundays beginning at 7:3(l ... This
Sunday is the Mr. All American,
Peter Roomey and his show ... Garrett
and John will join him on the bill
Garrett was formerly with the
Sons and Daughters of Fred and
Ethel ... get ready he's back ...
Mr. Frank Benge who founded
S&DoF&E ... he's forming a new
group . . . are you going to team up
with Joni again? From the looks of
the pictures of the opening of Petticoat
Junction, there was a capacity crowd
enjoying the new facility. I missed the
opening as one of my sons was in town
and wanted me to drive him around to
visit friends, etc.
I almost forgot ... I loved Starse-arch
Sunday night ... only one thing
flawed my enjoyment ..• the couple
of obnoxious people who sat just to
my left up front •.. only a few feet
from the performers . . . several of
them sang along with the performers,
made tacky comments about their
crotches to their choice of songs ...
at a male dancer show I could understand
cruising only their crotch. but
for this type of entertainment perhaps
your ear should be your guide . . .
there is not excuse for this kind of
rudeness .. • 100 people were trying
to enjoy themselves and be enveloped
by the evening ... A couple of people
acted like fools . . . I was really
embarassed that you thought tipping a
dollar in the middle of a dramatic part
of their performance could make up
for the spectacle they were making of
themselves . . . please learn some
manners or at least sit at the back so
those of us who appreciate these excellent
performers can do so without your
offkey singing and snide, rude
remarks ...
Despite all of the above ... the
Starsearcb finals were wonderful!
Speaking of wonderful ... Syll'eSter
. . . I mentioned earlier that he's at
Hall's this Sunda) .. . is one of my
all-time favorites and I play all his
records such as "\ou Make Me Feel
Mighty Real," "Disco Heat," "Do
You \\ant To Funk" and on and on
.•. and his latest on Warner Labels
... Someone Like ~u" which is on
the top IO . . For a decade, he's
charmed the pants off everyone on and
off the dancefloor •.. this is a show
not to be missed and I'm so excited
because Steve asked me to introduce
him . . . I'm wearing my dancing
shoes ... Have a Heart. be friendly
& thanks Au,tin Supporters . . . it's
just m) opmion ..

Helpful Household Hints AUSTIN 411 Directory
by E. Nomad
Alphaville-Jerusalem- WEA Germany.
Let's face it, Alphaville is not
a group for everybody. With the exception
of their first hit "Big In Japan,"
most of their music does not have
crossover appeal. "Jerusalem" is pretty
and smooth, (121 :t bpm), very
Alphaville. Those of you who are
familiar with this group will feel very
at ease with this cut. Club wise, I don't
feel it will go very far, which is very
unfortunate for this is the group that
changed nu-wave music a few years
ago. If you are not familiar with
Alphaville's music, ask for some of
their records next time you are at a
record shop. Who knows?, perhaps
you will discover that not all music
has to be commercial um-pah to like it.

Evening Ladies!
Well, I am firmly ensconced in my
new villa overlooking downtown and
a very busy jogging trail. I won't tell
you where it is, but it's not hard to
find (like Rocket Man's was).
I put up racy leopard wallpaper to
match my housecoat, nightgown, and
slippers. I hung my light fixture that
I won in Las Vegas outside. (It's in the
shape of a set of dice complete with
flashing red lights).
I've installed a revolving front door
(like the big bank buildings have). You
can tell when you get to the bedroom-
I've put in my very own takea-
number machine. (I liked the nowserving-
number so and so better, but
they were out of them.)
Next to my bed is my rechargable
vibrator (for those VERY FEW lonely
nights that I spend).
I am in the process of having a backdoor
put in (to my apartment). I find
it's much easier for crowd flow.
Until later,
Love,
Saundra

Bananarama-A Trick Of The
Night-London Records. This is
Bananarama at its best. Don'tr expect
anything like "Venus," that was an
exception to the rule for these three
girls. Smooth vocals and a hypnotic
melody in the traditional style of
Bananarama. At about 107 bpm's, it
is hard not to like this release. The
single includes three mixes: the
number one mix. tricky mix, and a
dub mix. The tricky mix is a somewhat
jazzier version with some very nice
sax solos. The dub version is basically
an instrumental version of the number
one mix. Pick this one up next time
you go out on a shopping spree: trust
me, you' ll like it.
Stop-Come On Dance AhoraDamabi
International. If you like salsa
and Latin rhythms, you will definitely
like this one. These are the people that
broght you "Wake Up" last year.
Perhaps not as energized as their previous
release, but with all the elements
needed to show a pattern in this group's
style. The single includes an extended
version and a dub version. Both cuts
are over eight minutes long. In some
cases a long cut can help a song if
th'ere are enough harmonic variations.
(Example: Bronski Beat's "C'mon,
C'mon"). Unfortunately. that is not the
case with this cut, it is monotonously
repetitious. However, ll is still a good
dance cut.
Comment: I am certain many of you
are disappointed with the American
Music Awards. Diana Ross wore
mostly old dresses and Janet Jackson
barely got anything. Actually, I am disappointed
at the fact that she won at
all. No, I do not like Miss Jackson's
music and that is precisely why I don't
play it. She is a fantastic dancer and
she can also smg, but her material
leaves a lot to be desired. Perhaps the
American audience's taste is changing
for the best. . . Perhaps it is time
record companies re-examine what
appeals to the public and re-define
what commercial music is. About eight
years ago, radio stations decided
"disco" was dead. Actually, it ·was redefined
as "dance music." Music got
to the point where you would go to a
bar and hear the same music you heard
on the radio. For awhile we enjoyed
a difference in music, and that was
good. Now we have gone full circle.
history repeats itself; we hear the same
music at clubs and on the radio.
Besides record companies and radio
stations, D.J. 's need to start doing
some more homework and not rely on
record pool material exclusively. At
the long run ) ou will be the winner,
the public who supports us and is eager
for new mu ic.

WHO: Dale
WHAT: Birthda}
WHEN: December 31, 1986
WHERE: Everywhere
There arc birthdays. and then there
ARE birthday-;. One onl) ha-; one first
thirty-ninth (or ten twenty-ninth, as
some people would like to call it) and
only one could cclcbmtc it like Dale.
Dale. Austin's very own bird of perpetual
migration, has celebrated his for
two weeks (or is it three) with a nonstop
jct-setting odcssy that has
spanned the entire North American
continent, logging thousands of air
miles and leaving even the most seasoned
reveler breathless.
First stop on his agenda was a day
of skiing at his family's condo located
in Aspen.
Next day it was good-bye to the
snow and hello to the sun at La Jolla,
California and a reception held in his
honor by his aunt.
Final stop on the west coast was an
elegant cocktail party co-hosted by his
friends .• Phillip and Trooper 1hm. The
sparkling lights of thi romantic clly
provided a spectacular backdrop from
the Top of the Mark. A superb buffet
included caviar and pate and what
seemed like gallons of champagne.
The longe'>t trek of this '>pace age
saga came less than a da) later w nh a
tnp to Ralc1gh/Durham, North Cam
Al.STIS MIRROR 473-6811
Ima and an old-tash1oned beer bust
held by several friends. including Dr
Dan. People m North Carolina really
do know how to throw a party, I w 111
tell you. The scenario included scantily
clad bodies dancing until way past
dawn.
Hnal stop (whew) was returnrng
home to Austin. Thank goodness, as
the airlines lost all luggage lhis fantastic
c:ic.cursion culminated "ith a
carcfully-sclcctcd invitation li~t
(minus this author) for drinks and dinner
at The Oasis, followed y.,ith a 111110
until the wee hours.
Everyone 1s truly glad that Dale's
birthday only comes once a year. It
will take everyone a full year JUSt to
recover.
