Good Bye Winter Blues!!

(One of the long-accepted standards of the rock and roll industry was shot full of holes last Friday as a crowd estimated at over 1500 people squeezed into the Union Ballroom for a 50¢ benefit for the Community Park Program. Originally thought of as something only to keep the rock and roll maniacs going until the Ann Arbor Tribal Council's free music series got off the ground, the dance ((produced by the Rainbow People's Party)) ended up making $527 for the Park Program.

No one imagined that the Tribal Council's Park Program fund raising drive would get such an early, solid start - no one thought that the 50¢ event would make any money at all.
The bands were UP, Guardian Angel, and Rosta ((who replaced the Brat when drummer Larry Blunt came down with the hep)). Barbara Holliday's report follows. And watch out for the next cheapie. . . )
