Georgia Strait was in town
Last Friday7n-rght and if you hal,e
a teenager in your home you are
probably aware that this is a
rock group. They appeared at
the arena and froin the, reports'
'I've heard so far, they were a
howling success.
The interesting part of that
venture Was the fat thafla local

You see, the local ,trio of
boys had planned a show for

When Shaw and Blanchard
got the word fradteorgia Strait
that the only night they could

Friday, November 26. there was
immediate concern for the
opDosirtg..event. It seemed fairly
obvious that' the Georgia 'Strait
would -attract a better crowd

seemed quite unfair to "cut
on the local boys' efforts.
The solution? To combine
