Page 7 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, September 16, 1985 Fahey brings his guitar wizardry to the GUITAR WIZARDS come and go. In any given year a dozen young performers are billed as "the next great thing" and then vanish soon af- ter. In that context, and on that same in- strument, it is particularly im- pressive that a man like John Fahey can continue to be a vital force after almost two decades. Fahey, known as the "father of the modern fingerpicking method," was one of the most influential guitarists of the 1960s. Never mind folk' guitarists, but all guitarists. Today he enjoys a reputation mat- ched only by the likes of John Ren- ' bourn or Bert Jansch as one of the finest interpretive acoustic guitarists still recording. In the early '60s, his style was con- sidered so revolutionary that he couldn't get a recording contract. So he did what all great non-conformists did and founded his own label. And the rest of the guitar world con- formed to him. Takoma Records, his label, remains one of the more important independent labels in folk music. Box (Continued from Page 6) between the woman and a delivery man trying to deliver a box into her apartment. The conflict arises over why she won't let him into her apar- tment. As the deliveryman persistently tries to convince her that he won't harm her, both the audience and the woman begin to trust him. Finally she does trust him enough to open the door as far as the chain lock will permit it, only to find that he forcefully puts his foot in the door so that she cannot close it. She shrieks back in horror as he does this. I'm not sure whether the audience's laughter at this point was laughter over her own pathetic neurosis or nervous laughter that one finds in horror films. I would venture to guess it was the latter. It would be interesting to see how a man viewed this play, the deliveryman's polite, yet relentless pursuit of her. Is this harassment or mere curiousity or both? Is the woman not only a victim of her own fears but of this man's "ladykiller" attitude as well? The ambiguity of this point in particular gave the play. its strength. Martin H. Contreras and Helen Oravetz gave exceptional per- formances in this difficult play. Like the original Pandora's Box, the human mind and state was opened and prodded this weekend. Proving again what an abundance of native talent Ann Arbor has to offer to its community. Hopefully, the box will be opened again. Boasting a catalogue of over 14 Fahey albums, it is perhaps even more famous for being Leo Kottke's label.; Fahey took a chance with Kottke, and has subsequently been credited with "discovering" the contemporary traditionalist. But it is as an innovator that Fahey is best known. His characteristic wild rhythmic picking is hypnotic enough to distract from the sheer difficulty of his style, yet on a moment's notice he can swit- ch to relaxed yet complicated ballad forms. Ark Continually striving to pgrfect the form he very nearly invented, Fahey has been a profound influence on more recent guitar greats such as Ry Cooder. Back for the first time since the summer of 1984, Fahey should draw a good sized crowd to hear him Tuesday at the Ark, the site of his last visit. Tickets for the show are $7 for guests and $6 for members. The show begins at 8 p.m. and doors open at 7:30 p.m. The Ark is at 6371/2S.
