Hello I'm Michel barber. Tonight we're bringing you an encore presentation of one of our favorite nighttime variety shows from last season. So please join me now for a very special half hour of music. Nighttime is made possible in part by a drive for the North was the area foundation of. This is not the times variety with the show. Thank you. For the evening everyone and welcome once again to night times. With us tonight is a man who was known as a master in many forms of American music. Texas fiddler and guitarist Brown is with us. Also Twin Cities own Peter Lang Peter has recently won an award as

Minnesota's best acoustic guitar player of 1981 and a group that skilfully blends Calypso and reggae music into a form that they call rhythm. The group has brought this rhythm from Trinidad to Minnesota nine years ago with the group's leader Peter Nelson. So right now with the music of the people please welcome. Thanks.

Great Shangri will be back with us a little later on. Right now I'd like to bring on the incredibly versatile great brown. When I first met gave Brown a few weeks ago he was telling me about the fact that not only is he included in the encyclopedia of jazz but also the Encyclopedia of Blues in the encyclopedia of country western music. And he also told me that he was one of the first rock n rollers back in 1947. Dave has influenced a number of guitar players from Frank Zappa to Roy Clark talk about knowing your styles and yet he names Woody Herman and Count Basie as his major musical influences. Tonight we're going to hear three facets of amazing talent. The first is an original tune. It's called six levels under plant life. Weeks.

And. Weeks. Weeks.

Twin Cities area Peter Lang Peter was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1076 and he is currently working on his sixth album as well as writing a book which is called 20th century masters of fingerstyle guitar. He is a multi-talented man and knows many funny and not so funny jokes. Peter what's the first thing that you can do for us tonight. It was called the RCA ring. Right ladies and gentlemen please give a warm welcome to Peter Lang. The next song was written one thousand twenty three by Sylvester. It's one of the first
