Crystal Gayle wants M&Ms -- peanut, not plain -- and the Commo­ dores requested cornbread for their backstage pleasure at the Charles­ ton, W.Va., Sternwheel Regatta. The 10-day affair on the Kanawha River opened Saturday and the performers are using a three-bedroom mobile home for a dressing room. Entertainment Committee Chairman John Wilkerson said Gayle was disappointed to learn she couldn't have five dressing rooms -- one each for herself, her daughter, the kid's nanny, Gayle's sister and her backup singers. Ronnie Milsap was less demanding, agreeing to change his clothes at his hotel and wait on his bus before showtime. The Commodores told Wilkerson they wanted some Southern cooking -- pork chops, chicken and rice with gravy, cornbread and peach cobbler -- because they don't get much while on the road. Conductor Kaye Danny Kaye will be waving the baton at the Los Angeles Philharmon­ ic's benefit for the Musicians Pension Fund Sept. 8. Kaye says he has never learned to read music and certainly doesn't think of himself as a serious conductor. "I never behave as a serious anything," he said. "It's still a surprise to me when I raise my hand and give a downbeat and everybody plays. Everybody wants to lead an orchestra. It's the greatest feeling of neurotic power in the world." Mayor Tom Bradley proclaimed the concert date Danny Kaye Day to mark the entertainer's nearly three decades of Charitable service. Kaye's appearances in the past 25 years on behalf of retired orchestral musicians have raised nearly $6 million in pensions for performers in the United States and abroad. Committee meeting at sea Two members of the Coast Guard were searching Cape Cod Bay for the crew of a scuttled marijuana-laden vessel when they came upon a 16-foot dinghy off Provincetown, Mass., and ordered it to stop. On board was Rep. Gerry Studds, D-Mass., "just puttering around, pulling in some lobster traps." After they asked him some questions, one of the Coast Guard people apparently realized who the boater was. Studds identified himself and invited them aboard. "She said that was all right," said Studds, who happens to be chairman of the House Coast Guard and Navigation Subcommittee. "The guy she was with looked like he was going to go through the floor." Studds said he didn't mind being stopped because it meant the Coast Guard was doing its job. "That's what I would call thorough," he said. Endorsement from the top New York Mayor Ed Koch is going after the tall vote. Koch was endorsed Thursday by the tallest man in the world, Mohammad Alam Channa, an 8-foot, 3-inch Pakistani who cannot speak English, much less vote in the Sept. 10 Democratic primary. While Koch's main challenger, City Council President Carol Bellamy, was attacking his housing policy, Koch combined politics with circus at a rally with Chinese lion dancers, a German Oompah band and 22 other ethnic groups. Channa, who arrived from Pakistan for Sunday's Pakistani Day Parade, is listed in the "Guinness Book of World Records" as the tallest man in the world. In addition to Channa's support, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr. also was on hand and introduced actor Vincent Gardenia. Sax player Dexter Gordon will be the star of "Around Midnight," director Bertrand Tavernier's movie about a jazz musician in Paris. Keyboardist Herbie Hancock also has a role and director Martin Scorsese will play a nightclub owner ... Philadelphia 76ers star Julius "Dr. J" Erving doesn't think much of drug-using athletes. "I really don't have any sympathy for the guys who fall into that situation," he said at a fund-raiser for the Wilma Rudolph Foundation in Indianapolis. Dr. J said displaying their NBA talent "should be as high as they want to get" MCC photographers take ribbons at fair The photography competition at the McHenry County Fair netted McHenry County College students eight first place ribbons and at least 25 cash prizes.
