'Biggest dance floor’ opens
AW*
w
L
The roller rink near Second and
“ O’ * tn Springfield will again be filled
with gliding and twirling couples, ac
cording to new owners. Bill Kimball
and C .B . Woods. The new crowd,
however, won't be skating on what
Woods more profitably calls " T h e
biggest dance floor in Oregon."
" S u re , there’ ll be a few chairs
around the edges for the old folks who
need 'e m ," he says. "B u t out there,
everybody
w ill
be
d a n c in g !"
"E veryb o d y” includes anyone aged
sixteen and older who likes to dance
No liquor will be served at the new
“ live" disco dub, which has been dub
bed "Odyssey 3001."
" L iv e " is the word to emphasize
here
"N ational top name soul and
disco acts" will be featured on Friday
and Saturday nights, while top flight
road bands will fill in on Tuesday
through Thursday nights from nine til
two. A disc jockey will provide taped
disco music during all breaks. Record
ing artist/performer Billy Preston is
the headliner at the grand opening
June 30th and July 1st.
W oods, who was involved in a
similar venture, "S ir W illiam s" in Las
Vegas, says nearly $500,000 will have
been invested at the time o f opening. A
new light and sound system is planned,
and dancers will be surrounded with
mirrors on the walls. The usual mirror
balls will be dangling amid flashing
strobes, while the stage will be lit with
48,000 watts o f color.
A spokesman for T G M , the sound
and lig h t com pany doing the in*
stallation, calls the room acoustics
" n o t outrageous, but plenty good
enough," going on to say, "These
folks are trying to do it right. What
we re using would be a top class sound
system in any club."
There are two dressing rooms ad
jacent to the 800 square foot stage
where stars o f varying magnitude will
be able to primp before each show.
Woods, himself a musician who will
perform on the big stage, claims a sin
cere interest in local talent, saying he
will employ suitable acts whenever he
can. W ith a capacity for 2,700 people,
the Odyssey 3001 could be a very big
deal for the Willamette Valley.

tact: Odyssey 3001, C .B . Woods or Bill
Kimball, 215 " Q " Street. Springfield,

“ SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK'
Sweet Honey perform here
by Greta Graham
L et’s talk about the realm o f Black
traditional music, about how vital
Black music is to our lives, about how
Black musk is a "feelin g ." Let’s talk
about Sweet Honey in the Rock.
Sweet Honey in the Rock is a group
of four Black women: Bernice Reagon.
Evelyn Harris, Patricia Johnson and
Yasmeen W illiams, whose means o f
musical expression is " a cappella’ *
with occasional accompaniment. Their
range is wide and their voices weave
together marvellously to produce a
sound that is rich and full.
They sing Black traditional songs
and their own compositions, written in
the vein o f Black work songs, spirituals
and songs o f protest
And they sing
with a strength and commitment that
makes Black traditional music as
p o w e rfu l a statem ent fo r Black
women's experience today as it has
been for Black people throughout
history.
Their performances provide an in
tense musical and political experience.
In the music of Sweet Honey, Black
women make statements about their
lives and raise questions about their
lives through music from the Black
tradition.
In presenting their music
they cover the spectrum of Black song.
They cry, moan, preach, testify and
rejoice. They make spine tingling, soul
stirring music.
The women do not see their musk as
following any particular sound. Ber
nice Reagon. folklorist, founder o f the
group and cultural historian at the
Smithsonian Institute, had this to say
about Sweet Honey, "W hen we were
forming, it was agreed that we would
cover as wide a range o f material as
possible.
We are still seeking out
audiences, still finding out exactly
where our music can be received and
appreciated. W e’ve done funerals and
weddings, and we’ve developed a
c h ild re n ’ s re p erto ire fo r school
programs. We love performing at
places in the community where music is
needed to help people get through cer
tain events in their lives."
The group’s name stems from a
refrain in a traditional Black spiritual.
Bernice explains, "Th e name is derived
from an old spiritual that refers to a
land where sweet honey flows from the
rocks.
Honey, symbolizing warmth
and sweetness; and rock symbolizing
strength and consistency, which is what
we try to convey in our song.
I t ’s clear. The concept from whkh
Sweet Honey in the Rock emotes is
one that will become more and more in
demand as Black people continue to
depart from those assimilated musical
concepts that have risen over the years.
In this age o f "R oots" groups like
Sweet Honey are kindling to spark the
fires of the real meanings of soul
musk.
Experience Sweet Honey in the Rock
for your soul.
