A Harmonious Hobby "We do it for the fun of it . we iust like to play. " Milrsha Wells, Double Barrel Anyone. who ever played a gu itar or tooled around on a se t of drums has fantasized about being part of a band . Many Harding students have seen that dream become reality. Ronald Qualls/Camden, AR Stephanie Qualls/Memph is, TN Deborah Elise Quigley/Eureka Spri ngs, AR John J.

Like any profess ional group, bands at Harding have always faced problems. Double Barrel member Kent Wells has the unique problem of being in two bands. He is a member of the schoo l-sponsored group, Time of Day, so scheduling Doub le Barrel work is a tricky business. Magnum member Jimmy Sites has also run into problems of schoo l obligations interfer ing with scheduling. Bison baseball often knocks the bands chances for jobs out the window. Music has been part of Jimmy's life for a long time, though, so he has learned to adapt to problems. The campus offers lots of opp'ortunities for non·school sponsored bands to get chances to perform, Double Barrel performed in the Benson Auditorium last November and Suburban Yards was the featured band during last fal l's Lawn Jam. Club parties and ban'quets traditionally have been a band's chance to make money and get exposure. Kent Well s probably expressed what every amateu r band mem· ber at Hard ing fee l s about hitting the big time. " We've thought about it and it would be nice to all live in the same city and have a chance to play, but who knows where we will go from here."~ - lane Gore Suburban Yards, assisted by Kent Wefls, left plays at the fall Lawn Jam. Lawrence Bohanon, Ed Smith, Jerry Trapp, and Bob Conolty blend their musical talents. McDowe ll-Seav/251
