Eddie Burks, a 24 year old self taught Caucasian blues pianist, appears weekends at the Rustic Inn in North Las Vegas and often sits in weeknights at piano bars around town.

Mafalda Back A combo song popular with Strip lounge lizards after a hiatus that included a temporary dissolution of the group and an off-Strip engagement, has returned to Neon Valley but not at the old camp. The Mafalda Trio opened last week at the Riviera's lounge, sharing the spotlight every night but Thursday, with Johnny Desmond, The Vagabonds, and a surprisingly good group of non-rustic Cousins. Mafalda is at the piano and provides the vocals, husband Lou Papp bows and plunks the bass, and Fred Stein baugh has returned to sit in on the drums. The Riviera appearance surprised some fans who'd come to believe the trio lived at another show hotel, but the same fans have heard the word and are moving en masse to the Starlight Room. Bossa Nova fans are making the move, too, for the trio has added quite a few examples of this latest Latin kick to its rep. But fans of longer standing need have no worries—the old favorites are still being played.
