Page 8 Section II Portland Observer, April 13,1963 ? Survival For Black Women Pop guitar wizard Earl Klugh makat hi* Portland dabut at Lawis b Clark'a Pamplin Cantar on Tuasday. April 19 for ona performance only at 9 p.m. Earl Guitar Klugh A master of the acoustic guitar, Klugh is both a songwriter and producer as well as a versatile musician. His music is an unusual combination of pop, jazz and rhythm and blues songs distinguished by his distinctive finger picking style, which developed during his early association with such a di verse group of musicians as Chick Corea. Yusef l.ateef, Laurindo Almeida, (ieorge Benson and Ray Parker. Jr. Klugh has been interested in music all of his life. At the age of three, he picked out his first notes to Eddie Heywood's "Canadian Sunset" and by the age of six, was teaching himself to play bv mimicking the melodies and chords he heard on his collection of Chet Atkins albums. A fter "apprenticing" with l.ateef. Benson and Corea as a teenager, Klugh recorded his first album, Earl Klugh, in I976. Although Living Inside Your Love, Linger Painting and Magic In Your Eyes followed shortly there after, Klugh's career gained momentum in I979 with Heartstring and his successful first collaboration with Bob James One on One. I9 8 0 ' s Dream Come True solidified his prominent position among pop guitarists and Late Night Guitar, an easy listening l.P comprised of such American standards as "Tenderly" and "M ona Lisa," increased his popularity. Klugh has since recorded Crazy Eor You, an album containing two of his most popular songs, “ Twinkle." and “ Calypso Getaway.” His latest re lease is his second equally successful collaboration with Bob James, Two o f a Kind. Tickets for “ An Evening with Earl Klugh," presented by Northwest Enter tainment Consultants, are available at Meier & Erank. G .l. Joe’s and Everybody's Records. N ew Record Company BEND, O R — Kn Oregon record company. C .I.S. Northwest Inc., has re ceived national recognition within the highly competitive music recording industry. This week's announcement of the new label's first nationally charted hit record, "Reason to Believe,” by Portland's Wray Brothers Band, will establish national credibility for the fledgling Northwest record ing industry and for Northwest musicians, according to company president Mike Connolly. The Bend. Oregon based firm records and promotes only musicians from the Northwest talent pool, which, says Connolly, has been largely ignored by the major record labels. He feels that this week's breakthrough will cre ate the opportunity to further expand what he termed "a completely new clean industry" in the region. In cooperation with the Portland Community College Afro-American Cultural A ffairs Committee, the Black Women's Network o f Portland is sponsoring a workshop entitled "H e a lth and Survival Skills for Black W o m e n ." W orkshop registration is from 9 to 9:30 a m ., at the PCC Cascade Campus, 703 N. Killingsworth, in the Cafeteria. The workshop courses will begin promptly at 9:30 a m. Supervised child care will be pro vided for children beginning at 3 years. The workshop is being sponsored in tribute to Trina Deanne Hunter. The 17-year-old’s body was found in a marsh in Battleground, Washington, on December 29, 1983. Black Women's Network president Stephanie Michael says the workshop is designed to meet the needs of black women of all ages in the community. She said. "There are probably several young black teenage girls in the com munity who have been frightened by the tragic death of Trina. The Network is having this workshop to let all black women and men know that we can not and should not tolerate such occurance to happen to our children. This is not the first case of a young woman being caught up in a situation asking for help and not receiving total support. Frankly, people in this community arc tired of the open season policy toward our young women and children. We plan for this workshop to be the first to address self-help solutions and the reviving of respect in our community. She added. " T h e workshop will address the perception o f how black women sec themselves and what their role should be in the '80s in the recap turing and enhancement of black cultural traditions. Too often in a con tinued struggle simply for survival, it is easy to lose sight o f goals if you have negative forces hitting you all at once. For instance, some black people they can assimilate by simply wearing their hair a certain way, dressing a certain way or simply by association with the "rig h t" people What usually ends up happening is they begin to not like themselves as a person or a group of ethnic people, because they are using a standard they can by no means fit into. In essence they are committing what I term mental geno cide.” W orkshop courses to be offered are designed for the following age groups: 6-8 year, 9-12 years, 13-19 years, and adults. Speakers featured in clude: Gloria Flukcr, a psychiatric social worker at the Center for Commu nity Mental Health/Conquest Center; Pearl Spears-Gray, Affirmative Ac tion Director at Oregon State University; Freddye Pellet, executive director for the Urban League of Portland; Mariah Taylor, R .N ., C .P .N .P .; Bar bara Taylor, Multnomah County Health Educator; Gail Washington, Busi ness Agent for the Oregon Public Employees Union; Cora Adams.
