Loretta At The Fair The “ First Lady o f Country Music,” Loretta Lynn has been in show bus iness for over 20 years. Her albums have become country classics, powered by her down-home, lyrical style which is highlighted by her warm way with a melody. Loretta's autobiography, “ Coal Miner’s Daughter,” has portrayed her life story in the same country style which has been her unique gift in music and in living her life. The story was introduced in book version in 1977, fol lowed more recently by the movie. Since the difficult beginning of her career (she and her husband lived out o f their car as they toured the country to promote her first record), Loretta has released more than 30 albums for MCA. Major hits include “ Coal M in er’ s Daughter,” “ You A in ’ t Woman Enough,” “ D on't Come Home A- Drinkin’ ,” and “ Love's the Foundation.” Her 1982 album release is Loret ta Lynn: I Lie. 13 Flavors A D oll House will play at Lewis and Clark College’s Fir Acres Thei ire Tuesdays-Saturdays at 8:00 pm and Sundays at 2:00 pm, august 5th thro igh the 28th.

Jerry Reed will bring his talents to the Lane County Fair on Thursday, August 19. “ Hot" Jerry Reed That Jerry Reed is a winner surprises no one.. .you need the word “ hot” to measure more than a Jerry Reed song or performance. He can play a fine, driving jazz guitar, yet slip into the Chet Atkins style. He's equally good at singing, either pop material or what some might call pure country. He is a top comedian and a serious actor as was obvious in his movie roles with Burt Reynolds (Smokey and the Bandit). Reed is best known for his recordings o f “ Amos Moses” and “ When You’ re Hot, You’ re H o t.” When talking about songwriting, Reed says, “ Titles catch folks’ curiosity because they become interested in finding out what the songs are all about.” This theory may prove true of his current hit, “ She Got The Goldmine (I Got The Shaft)!’ ’ His 1982 album release is The Man With The Golden Thumb and includes his current hit. Reed will have an afternoon and an evening performance at the Fair, at 2 pm and 8 pm. Advance tickets will be available at the Fairgrounds on July 19 at 1 pm. Advance tickets will not be available after August 13. Both per formers will have reserved seating only, and tickets are $1.00. J ■.
