FIEDLER
LIKES ROCK AND
ROLL
MONTREAL (CP)
-- Arthur
Fiedler, for
29 years
conductor of
the Boston
Pops
Orchestra,
blandly
says: "I
like rock and
roll."
And he
believes many
symphonies are
not good
music.
Some of them
are "terribly
boring".
"People worry
about us
getting
depraved
musical
tastes.
Nonsense."
Mr. Fiedler
says rock and
roll "will
have its vogue
and then die a
natural
death.
It doesn't
create
teen-age
problems.

Trend
Going
Back To
Instrumentals
By
RED ROBINSON
(Vancouver
Sun Jan. 10, 1958)
This
year could well be
the year of
instrumental hits
as was 1953 with
songs like "Blue
Tango," "Delicado"
and Fandango."
It
could be the way
back to the big
band sound,
although this
trend now is
different in one
respect. The
big instrumental
hits this month
are done by small
combo groups with
a dash of
progressive jazz
apparent in all
offerings.
There
is also a trend
towards Dixie
music.
Let's
look at the survey
this week and find
the instrumental
sides.
There's Mo
Koffman's
"Swinging Shepherd
Blues" . . . Mo is
a Canadian and he
uses his quartette
to fully present
the cool
sound. Then
there's the Dixie
flavor evident in
the new
interpretations of
W. C. Handy's
immortal "Yellow
Dog Blues" newly
arranged by Johnny
Maddox, Pete
Fountain and Joe
Darrensbourgh.
Other
instrumental sides
take in all
fields, the
"Colonel Bogey
March From the
River Kwai" with
Mitch Miller and
Billy Vaughn's
"Sail along
Silvery Moon."
In
the rock vein
there is
"Raunchy," one of
the first big
instrumentals for
the new year and
of course Ray
Connif's "Just
Boppin."
This
could well be the
prelude to band
music on your hit
parade.

Elvis
Drops
$1,250,000
This Year
(Vancouver
Sun Jan. 10,
1958)
|
MEMPHIS,
Tenn
(BUP)--- The
way it
figures,
army-bound
Elvis Presley
will miss out
on about
$104,916.80 a
month in the
next year.
The famous
Presley
hip-itch will
be
khaki-wrapped
on or about
March 20 when
he delivers
himself to
Camp Chaffee,
Ark. for two
years federal
employment.
Industry
sources
estimate the
rock 'n'
rollin' melody
matador will
thereby lose
out on the
income from
two motion
pictures and
about a dozen
personal
appearances
that would
have grossed
him--as a very
rough
estimate--about
$1,260,000 in
1958.
His army
paycheque will
average $83.20
a month.
Elvis, 23
years old
yesterday, is
making a new
film for
release in the
fall.
He's reported
to be getting
$250,000 plus
50 per cent of
the gross for
this motion
picture.
