Iceberg to arrive Tuesday
By MICHAEL LESLIE
of the UP staff
Want to see a really cool performance?
Want to see one of the most fascinating
instruments of all time, and a young man
who has made his dream into a reality, and
triumphed?
Then what you want to do is see Michael
Iceberg, and his fabulous Iceberg
Machine, in concert, in the Setzer Student
Center Ballroom, Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 8
p.m.
Tickets for the performance will be $1
for LU students with IDs and $3 for the
general public. They can be purchased in
advance in the SSC Check Cashing Booth.
Michael Iceberg’s music career began
in the late 1960’s when, realizing that he
did not want to work in a retail store, he
began selling organs and pianos much to
the dismay of his friends and family. He
gave up two thriving music stores in Il-
linois, a Porsche, and an airplane to do
what he wanted.
He bought a small organ, a Volkswagon
van, and with $100 in his pocket, he took off
for the moutains of Colorado. But by the
time he reached Aspen, he was broke.
Never having performed professionally in
his life, Iceberg secured his first profes-
sional performance in his new-chosen
career the day after he arrived in Aspen.
From this first engagement came the
name for his act: Michael Iceberg and the
Iceberg Machine.
Not wanting to be classified as just
another organ player, and having made
some modifications in the organ, Michael
brought his creation into existence.
The Iceberg Machine contains all the
state of the art electronic music equipment
from synthesizers to computers that
anyone can buy. Many musicians have
bought all the various elements that
Iceberg has used in the construction of his
dream. But it takes more than a bunch of
electronic gadgetry to make the Iceberg
Machine.
Through the use of two incredible
mechanical devices, Michael is able to
produce on special keyboards the actual
sounds of violins, the flute, guitar, French
horn, and trumpet. When the electronic in-
dustry began to produce small syn-
thesizers, a representative from Moog
Synthesizer Co., who happened to hear
Michael play, gave him a Mini-Moog syn-
thesizer, which Michael did not hesitate to
add to his creation.
LU to host second annual workshop
The Lamar Forensic Squad and Car-
dinal Theatre, working in conjunction with
the Southeast Texas Speech and Drama
Association, will host a workshop Wednes-
day for area high school and junior high
schools.
Lisa Duke, president of forensics, said
the workshop will be held on the Lamar
campus. This will be the second year that
Lamar will be hosting the workshop.
Duke said students from the Forensic
Squad and Cardinal Theatre will help give
the students a better understanding of
competitive speaking and acting events.
The workshop is divided into three
segments from which the students can
choose an area that is of interest to them.
In the first session, individual workshops
on group action, prose-poetry and extem-
poraneous oratory will be offered for the
Darticipants to choose from.
The second session includes improvisa-
tion, basic debate theory and structure and
reader’s theatre.
The final session will be theatre, where
students will be able to observe scenes
from the musical “Guys and Dolls.”
Duke said the workshop is designed to
help the junior and senior high school
students of this area become more
familiar with the events in which they may
participate at tournaments.
