IF YOU'"E AlREA\DY tired
of spendiNg your ,eekends in
Ann Arbor, but you're not sick
and tired of just plain spending,
I suggest you go to Iian -
Springs Maryland next week-
end. Why, you ask, would anyone
want to go to Indian Springs,
Maryland? Beca ise they're hav-
ing a "Bluegrass-Folk Music
Event ' Oct. 1-3 for the benefit
of the Societies Music Arts Pres-
ervation Fund, whatever that it.
And you can listen to such
vocal great as Charlie Daniels,
Vassar Clements Band (but
then, the guy'll be here Lnywy
next Friday), and the Trl
Scruggs Revue. You can also
camp, fish, swim and hike at
the event, which takes place at
holiday Pines Campg rounds. All
this, as you may have guessed,
is not free-but what's $15 com-
pared to what you spend on a
weekend's rent in Ann Arbor?
Tickets are on sale at Ticketron
outlets for this event filled with
"peace, freedor and music,"
and "feeling the grass between
your toes."

the Golden V o i c e of the Great
Southwest will formally open his
presidential campaign in Ann Arbor
this weekend, following in the foot-
steps of Gerald Ford. Utah's run-
ning mate, Mallard Filmore - the
Bionic D u c k, will be unfortunate-
ly, handling speaking engagements
elsewhere. Phillips states that if elected he will do what
all the great presidents of the past have done-"noth-
ing at all." Assuming the Michigan Marching Band is
unavailoble for the weekend, Utah Phillips will provide
his own backup on guitar and echo harp.

ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S
PSYCHO
(7 & 10:30)
Does this film really need a blurb? Often cited as the most
frightening film ever made, PSYCHO tells of a secretary who
absconds with $40,000 and comes upon a lonely motel near a
gothic house inhabited by a strange young man and his pos-
sessive mother. Need we continue? will you ever shower
again? If you've only seen it on TV, you've never really seen
it! Chilling music by Bernard Herrman (CITIZEN CANE,
TAXI DRIVER). Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles.
CLAUDE CHARBOL'S
LE BOUCHER (The Butcher)
(8:45 ONLY)
A butcher returns to his home after a decade in the army.
He meets and falls in, love with a schoolmistress and then
brutal knife murders begin to plague the countryside. Brilliant
and stylish study of the dark side of human nature, Stephane
Audran turns in her usual stunning performance. "Alfred
Hitchcock, move over. . . Claude Chabrol has not only earned
the title of 'master of suspens°-thriller' but has added new
dimensions to the title."-Robert Lauder, America. French with
subtitles.

MIDWEST F ILM PRODUCTIONS
_ _ _ _ with
Deodato's latest:
Disco-style muzak
M4
By MIKE TAYLOR
EUMIR DEODOTO is an art-
ist in decline. Several years
ago, his jazzy rendition of "The
Theme From 2001" was an en-
joyable hit, and the follow-up
album, Deodato II, contained
fascinating rearrangements of
"Rhapsody in Blue" and "Nights
in White Satin," as well as
some exciting original music.
But ever since he switched
labels from CTI to MCA, los-
ing producer Creed Taylor in
the process, Deodato's music
has come more and more to'
sound like sophisticated muzak.
In that respect, his new album,
Very Together (MCA-2219), is
his worst effort to date.
Deodato appears to be bog-
d dawn by two problems. #
this time consist of "Star Trek!"
being shouted from time to
time.
DEODATO has included five
originals. With the exception of
"Univac Loves You," all are
medium tempo jazz-rockers,
thankfully free of vocals. Un-
fortunately, they just don't go
anywhere. "Univac Loves You"
is a pleasant slow piece that
uses "Holiday Inn Room Keys"
as percussion.
One can only hope that Deo-
dato rediscovers the magic that
graced his earlier music. He
may be making these albums
too quickly. This one sounds I
as if it could have been writ-
ten and performed in a few
days. At any rate, Very Togeth-
er is somewhat mistitled - it
