NORTHWEST HERALD Section B Friday, July 19, IMS Pag« 3 Entertainment r Buddy Rich Drummer Rich shows his talent to Woodstock fans Bv^faifeBnia. Herald staff writer WOODSTOCK - Opera House Director Doug Rankin said the Buddy Rich concert at the Woodstock Opera House last Saturday was partly an experiment to see if patrons would be willing to pay the $12 to $16 price to see quality entertainment. Judging by the audience's enthusiastic response, the experiment was an unqualified success. It was a time to kick back and swing when Rich, one of the jazz world's great jazz drummers and his band blasted through a 90-minute set at the opera house. Rich's performance, sponsored by WoodFest, drew about 340 eager jazz fans who wasted no time setting the rambunctious mood that continued through his performance. As Rich took the stage, the crowd began shouting requests and asking questions of the jazz legend. Rich, appearing surprised at the audience's enthusiasm, searched for a response. Finally, someone yelled "go for it," and thats all the motivation the band needed. One might have expected a drum barrage from a man who is known to have drummed most all comers under the table, but Rich is a team player, allowing ample opportunity for his 15-member band to show their stuff. The band was at its best when it was swinging with the full ensemble. On "Burdito," tenor saxaphonist Steve Markus took off with a rousing solo, flying through scales that illicited rousing applause. The band did slow things down periodically. Pianist Bill Cunliffe was featured on several songs, in combo with the bassist, Rich, and on a few solos. The opera house crowd refused to be merely entertained, they had to be part of the entertainment. Each number and solo resulted in screams and whistles of approval. One woman in the audience asked Rich to play for an ice cream social in town. Rich, not understanding the comment, wasn't going to let it slip by. During intermission, he sent one of his "people" to the local Dairy Queen and presented the woman with a box full of ice cream to snack on during the second set. < Rich closed the first set with Duke Ellington's "Cottontail" and featured original nutiwiurt Jroitn an upcoming album during the second set. One particularly pleasing number featured Paul Phillips on flugal horn on the song "Matador." Rich controls his band like a father-figure, chiding band members for making a virtually unnoticed mistake. Rich looks like he could be the father - or even the grandfather - of his young band, made up of musicians from around the U.S. The youngest member of the band is only 22 years old. Rich only cut loose on the drum kit for short fills during most of the songs, but for the finale, he gave a five-minute solo that featured a silky- smooth, minute-long drum roll. It's been a long time since any opera house crowd has been so enthusiastic. Rich's set ended with a standing ovation. The music may have been the catalyst, but it was the crowd that made the evening memorable.

Train museum offers nostalgia The "Clang, Clang" of a trolley, the smell of hot oil and coal smoke from from a steamer, and the motor "whir" of a street car. These common events are now on­ ly memories." Or are they? A Visit to the Il­ linois Railway Museum any day this summer might find a steam train loading at the 1851 depot while a "competing" electric stands by. The electric could be a service to the depot may be a Chicago Aurora and Elgin ex­ press. Streetcar service to the depot may be a Chicago "Red Rocket" or "Green Hornet." A wooden "L" train from the turn of the century could be waiting at the elevated station. The museum is a popular at­ traction for groups and families who wish to combine education, recreation and a day in the coun­ try. As an added attraction, on Sun­ d a y , J u l y 2 8 , 4 0 v i n t a g e O l d s m o b i l e a n d P o n t i a c automobiles will be displayed. To demonstrate the contrasting transportation technologies pro­ duced by General Motors Cor­ poration, one of the Museum's five G.M. diesel locomotives will be operated. Aug. 4 to 11 is Steam Week as each day a 105-ton, 1918 steam locomotive is in operation. Originally built for Russia but never shipped after WWI, this locomotive was returned to ser­ vice in 1972 after three years and 13,00 hours of restoration by museum volunteers. The steam train will leave from the station each hour starting a noon. The museum is open daily until Labor Day, weekends through September, and Sundays through October. The 56-acre grounds open at 10 a.m., and vistors are welcome to explore the collection, which includes more than 200 cars and locomotives. A varied admis­ sion (more when diesels and steam operate due to fuel costs) entitles visitors to unlimited rides on the three-mile mainline and the one-mile trolley loop. A bookstore, gift shop refreshment stand and picnic areas are located on the museum grounds.
