If there is, he or she must feel very lonely. Seldom, if ever, has Grinnell ever seen so many people together in one place One-flail Band Here For Saturday concert Tomorrow at 9 o’clock in the South Lounge, Grinnellians will have the rare opportunity to hear “The Lone Cat," Jesse Fuller. Fuller, a native Geor- gian who now lives in San Fran» cisco, has gained prominence as a one-man hand during the last fifteen years, but he has played music for more than a halfrcenturty. Fuller simultaneously plays a myriad of instruments, includ ing an electric guitar, foot cym- bals, harmonica, kazoo, and a homemade bass called a fol- della. The “good—time blues" which Jesse Fuller performs are nearly all his own compo< siiions, the most popular of which are “-You're No Good" and “San Francisco Bay Blues." enjoying such universally good vibrations. Miss Georgia Den- tel, the college's Activities Counselor, called it “the most successful concert we’ve ever had." It was a beautilul scenei B, B. King gets around. The weekend before he came to Gl'irlnell he headlined an in- credible all-blues Show at New York's Fillmore East that fea- tured Albert King and Bobby “Blue” Bland (with guest ap- pearances by blues greats T- bone Walker and Oils Spann), The night before his Grinnell appearance, he gave a concert In St. Louis; the night after his Grimell concert he did a gig in Chicago. in other words, Grinnell was not exactly the highlight of his itinerary # but you couldn’t have told that from the performance he gave.

King's back—up hand, Sonny Freeman and the Unusuals, was impressively together, in spite of the fact that his pianist almost didn't have a piano and his bassist almost nge blossom diamond ring. didnt have a bass amp. But, oi couise, it was B. B. who knocked everyone out, with his singing, his guitar playing, and his amazing ability to com municate with his audience. A rock freak friend of mine said to me the next day, “it's in< credible . . .he actually talks through his guitar! Hes the best guitarist in the world] He makes Clapton look sickl" Yes, he does. Almost as amazing as his performance was the fact that, after the concert, he sat around for over an hour rapping casu- ally for n KDIC interview. There's no telling how long he would have talked if we hadn't all been asked to leave Darby Gym at one in the morning. Not only is o. a. King a brilliant artist, he Is a genu- inely warm and friendly human being. That’s a rare combina- tion, as they say, and Grinnell was fortunate to have him here for an evening.
