G. Arononwitzof the New York Times, “their instrumentsswinging jauntily in the style of trigger-happy badmen while they walk around the bandstand rearranging the microphones and the amplifiers with all the care of someone kicking dogs out of the way.”They are the Butterfield Blues Band, and they arrive . . . travel-stained with the experience, the grime, the raunchiness and the excitement that only a blues band could pick up barnstorming through America.iiThey rule the stage now only with the self-assurance that they are the stars of the show, and also with the confidencethat there is nobody doing what they’redoing better than thev.”Butterfield, who came to the blues when he was 16 in the honky-tonks of the Black Blues Belt on Chicago’s South Side, first formed a group at the University of Chicago, where he met Elvin Bishop, his lead guitarist.By the time his blues band was ready to leave Chicago, he had become a legend in the city. By 1965, the legend had become so strong that the Newport Folk Festival relaxed its ban on electric instruments to invite Paul’s group.Today, Paul, with two albums on the market, has rearranged the personnel of his band so that it includes a brass sectionhl........and almost a totally new group of musicians. The only surviving member of the original band is Elvin Bishop. At the organ(Bugsy) Maugh, on drums is Philip Wilson. Charles Gene Dinwiddie is at tenor sax, Keith Johnson plays trumpet, Davis Sanborn is at alto sax.Paul Butterfield wTears a Viva Zapata mustache now, he writes much of his own material and he has emphasized the back beat of his sound to satisfy the contemporary demands of the pop music audience. He has also moved his home from Chicago to San Francisco, but Chicago sticks to his style — a style now being copied throughout America.Tickets for the Sunday concert are available at the Memorial Union box office and the Breuners box office in Sacramento.The concert is presented by the Memorial Union Student Council (MUSC) at UCD.New era is begunat Ford's theatreWASHINGTON (JP) — The new caree of historic Ford’s theater began Monda night with a poetic drama of stirrin relevancy, “John Brown’s Body.”The presentation by the Nation?
