PAGE 8 — SANDUSKY REGISTER — MON., MAR. 2, 1970Graveyard Train Bridges Generation GapThe rock ’n roll music of the Graveyard Train actually bridges the gap in generations between the five group members and their parents.Complete understanding of “their kind of music” varies but the appreciation of their respective sons’ efforts is uniform. The boys’ endeavors actually reassures their parents and pleases them to the point of working family schedules around practice sessions and rolling up mileage on family cars just to hear them play. The boys range, in age, from 16 to 20.*Mrs. James Ruthsatz, 1221 W, Monroe St., mother of Jim. who plays Rhythmguitar says. “I think after it (the music)is pounded into your head you get to likeBeauty SalonPhone 626-0921Cleveland Rd.Sandusky Plazaa PERM vonJcan bank onNEW15.00HELENE CURTISCOLD WAVENOWONLY*9.44it. This is the way music is. It’s something Jim likes and it keeps him occupied . . . keeps him busy and I’m always glad when he*s busy. ' ‘ .She said Jim started guitar lessons at, an age where he could barely “coordinate walking and chewing gum at the same time. He didn't get very far. He just wasn't interested. Now that he's older and really wants to do it. it’s different.” Mrs. Ruthsatz’ conclusion from this experience is “children will learn easier when they really want to do something.”The Graveyard Train does the brunt of their practicing in the basement of the Peter Pullano residence on Haves Ave. Of the multi-amplified music, Pete Jr’s.mother says, “It gets very loud becauseour basement walls are small but we enjoy it because we know where the boys are at least three nights of the week.” Pete plays lead guitar.The Pullanos and The GraveyardBy JUNE PARDEE Register Staff WriterTrain have no conflicts of interest because as Mrs. Pullano explained, “this is why we told them three nights a week, so we know not to plan anything.” She added, “I think parents should do at least tha t for their children. ’ ’Mrs. Lucy Butler, 3517 South St.,mother of Dave the bass player said, “Iwon’t say I understand their music but I have no objections. It’s terribly loud. If they would just tone it down. They(groups) too often confuse loudness withquality.” She said Dave started will guitar in junior high and “we didn’t take him seriously but hedid.”She said the group has “squabbles among themselves.” However parents of any group musicians will attest to this condition. But Mrs. Butler said, “The boys get along better if we stay out of it. ” Mrs. William Weigel, 1522 Columbus Ave., says, “I’m never put out with Graveyard Train practice sessions..!there’s too many children and too much homework here.” But she wentand heard her son, Tom, the vocalist, andHEARSE IS METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION FOR GRAVEYARD FIVE.,.

She says, “I think it’s good if it makes them happy. ’ ’Roger James’ mother, Mrs. William James, 1403 McDonough St., says, “Hike the whole idea, I like rock ’n roll music. I guess I more or less have to...it’s the type they like to play.” But then she confessed, “I liked rock ’n roll even before my son started to play. She admitted, “It does get loud but you more or less have to like it. I guess I’m just a kid myself.”She does believe groups, all groups, could improve with a few slow numbers just for variety sake.She said her son, who’s the drummer,was always tapping pencils and thumping on her pots and pans. She stated, “He loves his drums. He lives for them.” She added, “As long as the boys are playing music I know they’re not onthe streets.”Mrs. James has racked up many miles on the family car traveling to all the Battles of the Bands in which The Graveyard Train has participated. She admitted, “I’m always there in the front row.”Mrs. James is a firm believer that parents should take a keen interest in their children’s endeavors. She believes that’s a fault all too often found in too many pa rents... the “I don’t care what you do attitude.”Fast GourmetDick McCullough)When dashing Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau of Canada visited New York, one of his first stops was Plaza 9, the ruby-velvet walled and crystal-lighted jazz sanctum of the Plaza Hotel where Montreal-born Oscar Peterson was the attraction.For some time now, Plaza 9 has been known as one of the best jazz spots in Manhattan.“People go there to listen to the music,” one knowing blade-about-town put it, “but after dining!” This seemed to be the general consensus. Then we beganhear rumors that the food was good too. We decided to try for ourselves a combination of dinner plus Oscar Peterson and a beautiful Bordeaux.In order to put the chef on his mettle, we ordered several dishes calculated to show his prowess — first his pate maison; then a thick Chateaubriand (porterhouse) steak, souffled potatoes(the ones that resemble crisp golden little pillows filled with air) and some Brie cheese, scarcely ever, except in the best places, served at the proper temperature. (It must be removed from refrigerator at least one-half hour before serving.)On all counts, the chef proved equal to the challenge.Wifh Q four orlunfo fi nr\ o uraother.

At serving time, drop once more into very hot fat. They should puff up immediately. Allow to become golden brown. Sprinkle with salt.
