Hometown heroes Acoustic Syndicate make
their return to Boone tonight at Legends with Steep Canyon
Rangers opening.
It has been a long road for the Syndicate, a band that played
its first show at Klondike Cafe. The members have recorded
four studio albums, one live album and toured enough to put
a circus to shame.

Join the Men’s Glee Club this Friday
at 8 p.m. in the Broyhill Music Center Rosen Concert Hall.
“I think of Glee Club as a family that likes to sing.
Rather than a group of people that have to be there, people
in Glee Club pay to be a part of it,” student Director
of the Men’s Glee Club and senior Craig A. Brown said.
Organized in the Fall of 1962, Appalachian State University
Men’s Glee Club continues to be an enjoyed organization
for singing.
Dr. Phillip M. Paul, retired professor of music, directed
the Men’s Glee Club from 1966 to 1996, and then handed
the responsibility over to Dr. Clinton Parker. Once again
the group has come under new direction, according to their
Web site.

When
I was a strapping young lad growing up on the mean streets
of Winston-Salem, I befriended a destitute man. The first
time I met him, he was wandering aimlessly down Burke Street;
while his posture would say to others that he clearly had
no direction, he had a look chiseled into his face laden
with a sense of purpose and determination.
