Mandrell, Shoppe top year's performances
Only Barbara Mandrell's
showmanship could top The
Shoppe's spectacular
performance Wednesday night at
Wisdom Gym.
A full house of almost 3000
enthusiastic fans were treated to
what may very well be the best
concert of the year.
The Shoppe, a five member
hand from Dallas, offered
something for everyone in the
audience with their wide-variety
of musical styles. The music
ranged from a country medley
to dixieland jazz to bluegrass to
gospel.
Their constant joking among
themselves and with the
audience created a party
atmosphere among the crowd.
Their final tune "Texas
(When I Die)," provided an
opprotunity for the crowd to
show its appreciation. Some
were more active than others
when asked to join in on the
chorus.
Although it was a hard act to
follow, Ms. Mandrell was not to
be outdone. She made her way
through the audience wearing a
blue sequiened gown and

Entertainer of the Year Barbara Mandrell brought her own special vocal style to a
concert last Thursday in Wisdom Gym. For an "up close and personal" interview with
the talented and personable singer, check out page five, Guys, there are several pictures
included, (photo by Cliff Coan)
launched into "Fooled by a
Feeling." _
Her talent was not only
limited to her vocal
performance. She managed to
play the banjo , steel guitar,
harmonica and saxophone
during her appearance on stage.
The vivacious blonde beauty
appeared to every male in the
audience to be singing only ta
them. Throughout her entire
performance, male admirers
crowded toward the bottom of
the stage in anticipation of a
kiss.
If the little lady with the
powerful voice ever decides to
pay TSU another visit, she'll be
greeted back by her 3000 friends
of Wednesday night.

potential for becoming a success

character with menacing terrpr
and hatred.

creditable job as the police
inspector determined to catch
Mr: Manningham. Susan
Christain and Holly Haines also
handle well their parts as the
maids Nancy and Elizabeth,
respectively.

outstanding, job on sets.
