Ker Shaw. 1 never knew much about Doug Kershaw except that he was a cajun fiddler who had fans that numbered in the millions and whose recording of Louisiana Man sold As Many millions. I naturally assumed that the term Ragin was just a rhyming adjective. The first clue i got about rage being part of the Man s makeup was some weeks ago when i spoke to a Chicago agent about name acts and when Kershaw s name came up he said something Aboul the Man being awful hard to get along with. Then in a recent conversation Wilh Gordie Tapp when f mentioned that Kershaw was coming to Winnipeg i was left win the impression that he was some thing of wild Man As she might Connie the Boa ithe foyer of the Manitoba museum of p a t t u i cons Ricl or be Able to Man and nature.

It was his attractive wife who came through the customs door with her exasperation showing after her baggage had been thoroughly searched. It was t Long before the entire entourage consisting of four musicians an equipment Man Road manager1 Mike Brignet Doug and the now composed were ready to be Token to the waiting cars. Doug was quite agreeable to making interview appointments and a sche j the of culled appearance and i was surprised to find myself Lik j cais to be granted to sabbatical total up ing the Guy. I Don t know Why i was surprised but he just was t what i expected him to be. I Don t even know what i expected him to be. Opening night for Home expressions 75 and the convention Centre was filled to capacity with people interested in seeing both the Doug Kershaw show and the Many exhibits that cover All aspects of Home living. If Kershaw had anything to do with the number of people that turned up he it e Well Worth the the Home and Urban development association of Manitoba spent for his show.

After a Brief intermission to rearrange equipment Kershaw s musicians took the stand and got things under Way. During the second number the Man himself appeared playing up a storm on his fiddle. The crowd s approval was obvious. Doug sings and plays along on his fiddle that is amplified and has a Long Patch Cord running to his amplifier allowing him to roam at will while he is playing. It was on the first of these roaming to the rear of the stage from my Vantage Point in the Wing i suddenly saw the Ragin cajun. Evidently there was something wrong with i setting or maybe the pickup or maybe there was just something wrong. Whatever it was i Learned some new cuss words during the string of abuse he Laid on his Roadie. His rear stage excursions brought even heavier Dis plays of rage when he would fire the Bow he was using at the rear Wall and pick up another of several that were ready for him.

With because of the Large number of staff hired six years ago and now eligible for sabbaticals. The abnormal situation caused the faculty association to express its concern fast month about the Low number of allocated leaves in comparison with the High number of applications and about an apparent slowness in granting leaves. The hiring crested in the spokesman said Friday. Hiring has been quite a bit decreased since it is expected that the number of applications for sabbaticals will return to Normal year.
