Spifyay Tymoo Page 10 January 29 Comedy duo returns to Kah-Nee-Ta W h at do you call a fair sk in n ed S can d in av ian fro m M ountain Hom e, Idaho and a Sioux Indian from Pierre, South Dakota? T he Indian and the W hite Guy, o f course. T he Indian and the W hite Guy, also known as Williams and Ree, will perform in February at Kah-Nee-Ta High D esert Re sort and Casino. T he com edy duo will per form, on Saturday, Feb. 28, at Kah-Nee-Ta. T he team shares a unique ability to make people laugh even if it comes from laughing at them selves— a trait w hich first drew th em to g e th e r in 1968. B ruce Williams and T erry Ree m et a Black Hills State Col lege in Spearfish, South Dakota, “where they were both major ing in draft dodging,” as they say. The two ended up playing to gether in a band, working the bars and college parties. T he band, w ith a repertoire o f 10 or 12 songs needed help filling in the time; so Bruce and Terry jumped in with the ethnic jocu- Coutesy of Kah-Nee-Ta. W illia m s a n d L e e . larity. Soon their comedy became a bigger draw than the band and The Indian and the White Guy comedy team was born. The two have been perform ing together since those college days, and have been compared to the likes o f “cotton and poly ester,” “b o u rb o n and w ater,” “peas and carrots,” “Sears and Roebuck,” During the late 70's they pol ished their act at the famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles. Terry points out that “the place is sort o f a comedy college and is a great place to fine tune your material and see if the bits are working or not.” H e said, “We probably get m ost o f our ideas from news papers and television. Some ab surdity will spark an idea and them we’ll w ork it into some thing. A testing ground like the Comedy Store is a perfect place to try things out.” For the past 26 years, the two h av e e n te rta in e d au d iences from coast to coast— sharing stages with such superstars as G arth Brooks, the O ak Ridge B oys, C h arlie D an iels, an d Randy Travis. T heir show is a lively, fast- paced mixture o f comedy bits, and social and political commen tary entwined with original songs.
