The Fine Arts Lyceum series, under the direction of Dr. Cliff Ganus III, featured Maynard Ferguson in September. The spring semester offered performances by Maria Bachmann, a concert violinist, Thomas Wright in "An Evening with Gershwin," and Andrew Cooperstock, a classic.al pianist and winner of the National Federation of Music Clubs competition. The Arkansas Symphony Orchestra and Douglas Niedt, a classical guitarist, closed the season in April. Steve Beliech worked with the Student Association to bring many concerts to campus. Memorable fall concerts included The Vince Andrews Band, featuring a powerhouse performance of jazz and fusion, and Restless Heart, returning to Harding after a three-year absence. Andrews returned to the campus in January for an encore performance and afternoon workshop with campus jazz musicians. One of the standout performances of the fall was a repeat from last year. Jeff Dunham and Peanut, a ventriloquist act, was brought back by popular demand. Tim Settimi, a standup comedian and mime, the Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats, Craig Anton and The United States Marine Band filled the remainder of the fall concert calendar. A January welcome back party featured the comedy act of Henry Cho in the Administration Auditorium. The music of Robin Crow was featured during Valentine's week with a combination of jazz, country, pop and rock that entertained the Benson crowd. The major concerts of the spring included appearances by 1964 As The Beatles and The Oak Ridge Boys. From the voices down to the Beatle boots, students found watching 1964 to be. amazingly like seeing John, Paul, George and Ringo. Held in the Benson Auditorium, the concert was preceded by a sixties theme party in the student Center. Students found 1960's prices for food as well as the opportunity to have their pictures made in an authentic Volkswagen Beetle from that era. The Oak Ridge Boys were billed as America's most famous country music vocal group for their February 8 performance. The group combined their nostalgic country hits with their more recent releases for an outstanding show. In late April, Paul Mesner offered students a chance to learn how to work puppets for an afternoon children's performance. Whether it was puppets or Mozart, students and faculty found a wide variety of entertainment options right here on the Harding campus. - Strummin' and Hummin'.
