Coming
Power
Womenfolk
Humor and
"Music and women I cannot
but give way to whatever my
business is." So wrote Samuel
Pepys in his diary on March 9
1(3 (j(i.
Samuel Pepy would have been
utterly overwhelmed today
nearly three hundred years later
by a combination known as The
Womenfolk five charming and
talented young women whose
pleasure it is to make music
and mighty exciting music at
that.
And this group is the next in-person-concert
entertainers to
appear on the Hardin-Simmons
University campus. The Wom-
enfolk will appear on the stage
of the Chapel-Auditorium on
May 3. Reservations may be
made through the office of Dr.
W. O. Beazley. Student tickets
will start at $1.20 $1.60 $1.80
and $2.00. Tickets for all others
are $1.00 $1.50 $2.00 and $2.50.
In a more up-to-date vein
Variety magazine caught the
Womenfolk in performance at the
Garret in Los Angeles last fall.
"It's all there" wrote Variety's
reviewer "power and light touch
humor and seriousness the real
folk stuff and the updated so
there's only one way for (The
Womenfolk) to go up."
Have Gone Up
Since then as the man said
the Womenfolk have indeed
gone up. Their RCA Victor
albums have won a solid core of
fans for the fivesome and their
inperson performances have won
resounding cheers and shouts for
more whenever and wherever
they have appeared.
Making up the diverse charms
which are the Womenfolk are
five individually delightful young
ladies each with a talent in her
own right each a winning per-
former. Together they com-
bine the many charms which are
the way of women.
Jean Amos is the newest of
the Womenfolk in terms of per-
formance time with the group.
As a singer and guitarist Jean's
been making her way with con-
siderable success for quite a
while. But she didn't always
seven I had my heart set on
being a cowgirl. Then I wanted
to be a nurse. When I was ten.
I knew I would become a movie
star but by the time I was thir-
teen I had found my calling. I
was going to be a psychiatrist."
We can only add that the com-
bination is not inappropriate for
a folk singer. Jean was born in
Hollywood the daughter of an
opera bass and a pianist and
thus exposed to music from
infancy. Currently when she is
not making music with the
Womenfolk Jean enjoys com-
posing art songs as well as her
own arrangements of favorite
folk songs and teaching the
guitar.

Barbara Cooper was born it
Memphis Tenn. and was a
musician at heart from childhood

trumpet. But the guitar took a
firmer hold and she started Us

she was twelve years old. One oi
the things Barbara likes best
about her career she says is that
she can sing and meet people
at the same time. When she's
not singing or studying Barbara
relaxes by making music and
going to parties.
