| Robert Cundick Concert in New York City |
| The eleven Manhattan congregations of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) include a
disproportionally large number of serious student and professional
musicians. When a group of these musicians, looking for a signal
concert for their "LDS Artists in Concert" series, discovered that
Robert Cundick turned 75 years old this year, it seemed a perfect
occasion to honor the prolific Utah composer with a concert of his
works. |
| Guess Who Near Wrapping Up American Tour |
| If there is ever a rock anthem titled
"reconciliation," it would have to be by The Guess Who. While most
baby-boomers will, if they remember the band, know that the group died long
ago, and maybe even remember that the Mormon beliefs of its leader, Randy
Bachman, played a factor in the group's demise. But Bachman has now reunited
with his former band members, and they are now nearing the end of an
American tour, finishing the "American Woman" tour they never completed when
Bachman left. |

copies sold out in two weeks," said Robby Nichols, Vice President of
Marketing for Covenant Communications. "It's already one of the

songstress Julie de Azevedo at BYU's de Jong Concert Hall on October 26 in a
fundraising concert for the Y Cycling Club. The concert will feature new
tunes from de Azevedo's latest pop album HELLO SKY, as well as Johnson's own
unique brand of piano music. |

text have made "I Am a Child of God" a tremendous hit. The first

edition is at press, and a third edition is on order. |
