Price and her band's reper toire ranges from pop tunes to "the deepest country classics." says her father, Shelby Price. However, their half-hour McAr thur Court performance will in clude mostly country-pop crossover numbers backed by a 24-piece orchestra. Price says this will be the first time she and her band have per formed with an orchestra. She | believes this added bonus to their show will make their per formance easier and "enhance whatever we re doing," Price's show will be followed by a performance from stand-up comedian Carl Woifson. who Little discovered in a Los Angeles club for aspiring com ics called ''TheComedy Store.” Little says he enjoys giving fresh, new talent a chance to make it because he realizes how difficult it is to get a break in the world of show business. Little's discovery of Woifson has been profitable for both parties because the young comedian has since written the material for a Home Box Office special to UO Bookstore SKI WEAR f\V WHITE STAG SKI JACKETS Regular to $110 S5995 SWEATERS Regular to $55 s2995 13th & Kincaid M F 7:30-5:30 SAT 10:00-3:00 Supplia# MS-4331 air in November tilled "Night of 42 Stars." in which Little im personates 42 personalities. Wolfson also has written the material for a forthcoming album from Little. Much of this material can be seen live in Lit tle’s McArthur Court ap pearance. including an imper sonation of jack Nicholson discussing what he’d do if he were president, and a Trivial Pursuit game hosted by Don Rickies with Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter on the list of players. The search for an opening act for Little's McArthur Court show also has been profitable for both sides "It’s good hype for us. and it gives my show a personal touch with the au dience by using local talent," Little says. Little says because the audi tions here were so successful. Rich Little Productions is con sidering trying talent searches in other states. Pepsi-Cola, which is sponsoring Little for the first time in his Oregon ap pearance, also is supportive of the talent search idea If Price's McArthur Court per formance is a hit, Little says he's considering scheduling her act to open for him in Lake Tahoe. Price says this would be "another giant step" toward her goal of becoming a recording ar tist and traveling to places such as Nashville and Los Angeles. For the time being, Price, who is an honor roll student, says she is concentrating on finishing high school. Music is never far from her mind, though, as she intends to con tinue her studies with a double college major in business and music. Price already has won a scholarship from the Southern Oregon Science and Humanities Symposium for an original composition. "Through my studies in music: theory. 1 discovered that the more you know about music, the more you realize there is to learn." Price says. She adds that by studying business in combination with music, she hopes to be able to maintain control of her own career if she lands a recording contract. "If I'm going to make it as a recording artist. I want to know what's going on around me." Price and her band already have begun recording demo tapes at Suncrest Sound Studios tinder the guidance of Greg Hayes with the hope of landing a recording contract. Although Price's career has been managed by her parents and two older sisters so far. she is unsure as to whether they will continue handling her affairs if she rises to fame. One thing she is sure of. however "My family will always be supportive of me wherever I am. and always he with me whatever I do," she says.
