Last Sunday afternoon, I caught
some rays until I was well toast-
ed and at about five o'clock
we cruised on down to Mr. Flood's
Party for some good music and
some cold beer in air-conditioned
comfort.
Blue Blazes plays at Flood's
every Sunday (5-8). John Farlow
heads the group - Pretzel Bell
fans from last summer will re-
member John from his days with
Buddies in the Saddle.
AFTER TIlE Buddies split up
last fall, John went down to his
Alabala homeland for awhile.
le's back in town now with a
band as strong, and in many
ways stronger, than the Buddies
(no female lead now folks -
Lorna has drifted elsewhere -
but the band, believe me, holds
a charm of its own).
Farlow has teamed up w it h
Gregg Patterson on piano, bass
player Rick Cohen and two form-
er members of the now defunct
Honky Tonk Angels (Al Carmich-
el on lead guitar and Ray Op-
land on drums).
"We don't like to call ourselves
a 'country' band," Farlow says.
What he means by this is not
that the band doesn't play most-
ly country, but rather that they
diversify a bit, playing "just what
we feel." Last Sunday, this
meant tunes that included some
Hank Williams greats, some blues
and even a Bob Dylan number.
WATCH OUT for Patterson -
his fingers jump up and down the
keyboards fast enough to make

RICK DU BROW:
Television in review
HOLLYWOOD - The principal
characters in ABC-TV's new,
weekly, half-hour situation com-
edy "Thicker Than Water,"
which bows in tonight and is
based on a British series, are:
-A proper, middle-aged spin-
ster Julie Harris who has kept
house for years for her wealthy,
likeable, earthy old father, now
'an ailing octogenarian, and who,
though she undoubtedly loves
him, can hardly wait for him to
kick off so she can finally cash
in.
-Her middle-aged playboy bro-
ther Richard Long, who hasn't
been home in eight years but
dashes there the instant he hears
them ignite - and Farlow's got
that magic in his style that
keeps everybody listening. More
about Blue Blazes later; catch
them for yourself next Sunday.
For now, check out the list below
and tune into some good times
music tonight.
BLIND PIG features Okra;
MR. FLOOD'S PARTY features
Brooklyn Blues Busters; PRET-
ZEL BELL features the RFD
Boys.
the old man apparently is going
fast so that he, too, can grab
his share of the inheritance.
-The old man himself, Malcolm
Atterbury, not a brilliant gent
perhaps, but a wily geezer, un-
swervingly proud of the achieve-
ments of his pickle factory, un-
daunted by the prospect of death,
swigging a bottle of booze on
the sly in bed, fond of his child-
ren and employes he wills h is
false teeth to an old worker,
and probably certain to outlive
almost everyone around him his
doctor predeceases him.
LADIES AND gentlemen, I am
here to tell you that there will
probably always be a British
empire, and so long as there is,
American television will have
some place to go to get ideas
for programs.
This wild series, this "Thicker
Than Water," is based on t h e
British show "Nearest and Dear-
est," and is one of the fun-
niest debuts of a U.S. video ser-
ies in memory. If it can sustain
the level of the premiere in fu-
ture episodes it is scheduled only
for the summer, ABC-TV would,
be mad not to find a place for
it in its regular season lineup.
On the basis of a preview.
showing, I can assure you that
this whole plot prospect is blast-
ed through with an uproarious,
raucous and thoroughly irrever-
ent approach that is completely
delightful.
THE MAKERS of a show like
this have to be very careful. One
major slip in the direction of
sentimentality and they are out
of business, because the theme
would then become depressing
and the farcical basis a sham-
bles. I don't know whether future
episodes escape this trap, but the
joy of the premiere is its total
lack of sentimentality; that's
what makes it work for every-
body in it, and for the aud-
ience.
