(a) What is a BTU? (b) Who cares?
If you are having a furnace installed, Somebody
(particularly your heating contractor) had better
know -- and care -- if your heating system is
going to perform satisfactorily. We find that
most of the furnaces we replace are grossly over-
sized, so they are inefficient, uncomfortable,
and don't last as long as they should. We select a
furnace by doing a proper and thorough heat
loss calculation, using professional methods and
procedures.

the temperature of 1 pound of

pianist Gene DiNovi (Oc-
tober 16) headlining the bill.

The Music Box - bowie's Moonlight shines
By Janet Tench
Every year there is one
rock concert that is the talk
of the music industry. The
Rolling Stones had their year
in 1981, the Who took 1982,
and David Bowie's Serious
Moonlight tour is the success
of 1983.
Take for example, the fact
that in Holland, Bowie sold
100,000 tickets in two hours.
His dates in the U.S. were
sold out. In Toronto, two
concerts were held to ac-
commodate those that
wanted to see Ziggy Stardust
aka The Thin White Duke
aka David Bowie. Naturally,
the biggest concert of the
year would cost a fair
amount. Tickets for the CNE
dates were $23.75 and up.
With all its publicity, the
Serious Moonlight tour
would have to have the
specialty of a blue moon, no?
Could any concert be ab-
solutely fabulous?
You had better believe it.
The Concert
With those holding general
admission tickets, queuing
up early is a necessity.
Waiting outside the stadium
for two or three hours is nor-
mal. The gates rolled
open at 7:10, causing the first
crush of humans for the
evening. Once your ticket is
checked, there is the mad
dash to get as close to the
stage as possible.
Then, more waiting. This
wasn't too terrible.
Everyone was sitting on the
ground talking or looking
around. Therealvere some
interesting outfits: girls
dressed in heavy metal
leather and studs, guys with
Inohawk cuts, and guys
dressed new wave with
feminine curls hanging over
their eyes.
At 8:30, Rough Trade
moved onto the stage. People
leapt to their feet and surged
forward causing the second
human crush. These crushes
are not to be taken lightly.
There is a great con-
centration of body heat
which tends to make people
faint - at least three did!

more popular songs ( along
with some I was unfamiliar
with) : ('rimes of Passion,

dations. I was rather
disappointed with my first
viewing of Rough Trade. The
group is known for their
obscene acts on stage, but
this time Carol Pope stood
straight while singing,
shaking her arms a bit, and
waving a Microphone around
once. She was the woman
once arrested for indecent
acts with a sledge hammer?
The crowd, however,
enjoyed Rough Trade
although there were a few
calls for Bowie.
The stage set up for Bowie
was fascinating. To the left
was a hand, with a purple
glow; to the right a glittering
cresce t. There were three
round ubicles with plastic
curtai bunched into forms
shimmering columns. Above
the stage was a video screen
where the concert would be
projected so that all may see
clearly.
The concert did not begin
with Bowie walking on stage.
A small fortune worth of
fireworks were displayed at
the far end of the stadium.
When the fire works were at
their crescendo of explosion,
Bowie's band came into
sight.
The saxaphone players,
Lenny Pickett, Steve Elson,
and Stan (I couldn't catch his
last name) let their in-
struments rip. The crowd
roared with delight when the
Man himself, came out to
start the show with an up-
beat version of Look Back in
Anger.
Before I list all the songs
Bowie played, allow me to
explain the need for a list.
Bowie is an incredible
performer. Most concerts
consist of 10 to 12 songs.
Bowie performed over 25,
with little rest. He stood on
stage, sweat running down
his face, his shirt plastered
to his thin chest, belting out
song after song. That's
dedication to your profession
- were there more people like
him!
Here are the songs:
Golden Years played right
into Let's Dance (the crowd
sang the introductory
"ah's ), Heroes, Never
Touch You, Life On Mars,
Sorrow, Cat People, China
Girl (this had a nice touch
with Frank and George
Simms, the backing vocals,
play acting while Bowie
drove the women wild with
his cool. but sensuous stage -
strutting), Scary Monsters
I with Frank and George
crawling about), Rebel,
Rebel, White Light, and
Station to Station.
At this point Earl Slick and
Carlos Salamar went into a
frenzied guitar piece, backed
by Tony Thompson on
drums, while Bowie went to
change out of his damp
clothing.
When Bowie returned he
was adorned with a red
velvet cloak, by Frank and
George, given dark
sunglasses, and handed a
human skull. Many a fan
wished to be that skull as
Bowie crooned Black as
Black to it.
A backdrop bearing
clouds, a rocket on centre
stage, and a balloon
representing Earth added an
illustrious touch to Ashes to
Ashes. As Major Tom was
sitting in his tin can, blue and
red, lights resembling blood
vessels lit up in the hand with
the purple glow at the left of
the stage. After the song,
Bowie exited, only to return
with his guitar to play Space
Oddity.
Did he stop with this, a
great finale? No. We were
rocked with Young
Americans, Fame, Tran-
smission and White Sky.
At last, it is time for the
fans to scream at the top of
their lungs for an encore.
However, they were all so
exhausted they could barely
cheer. You'd be tired too,
freaking out for two hours.
Despite the low volume of
applause, Bowie returned to
play Rock 'n Roll Star, Stay,
and to give us a surprise.
The night before, Bowie
met a friend in his hotel that
he had not seen for eight
years. One of the original
Spiders from Mars - Mick
Ronson (now a successful
producer with groups such
as the Payola $). So, Bowie
told the ,crowd, he asked
Mick wht he was doing
Sunday night. Nothing much,
was the reply. Bowie asked
Mick to join the band for a
song.
For the third encore song,
fans were given Dream
Jeanie, with Mick Ronson on
guitar. Mick flung his guitar
all over the place, Bowie
took up the sax. The ap-
plause was thunderous.
With no pause, Bowie went
right on to do a Fourth en-
core song - Modern Love.
David Bowie is a man with
style, not only in dress, but in
stage theatrics. His
seemingly limitless energy
is unmarkable. If this tour
was only a Serious
Moonlight, I can't wait to see
a serious tour.
Smile
In. the ,riddle of a motion
picture, a lady with a wide -
brimmed hat sat down in
front of a soldier. For
several minutes he craned
his head this way and that;
finally he tapped her on the
shoulder. "Lady," he asked,
"how much did you pay for
that hat?"
Surprise, she stuttered,
"Why $3 "
Without a word the soldier
taunted out $3, handed her
the money, took the hat and
sat back to enjoy the show.
