HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS By Martha Douglas who make it are the ones with the gimmicks. Among would appear that this adage is true. Witness the bat-eating, fire-breathing, sickle-wielding rock acts which make money today (to say nothing of the ever-popular guys-dressed-as-girls routines.) Musicianship is too often secondary to nightmarish aesthetics. One of the best things about the Huey Lewis and the News phenomenon is that they haven't succumbed to the gimmick spell. They wear street clothes in concert, and one is struck by the sound of this group of musicians before anything else. When you're as good as Huey Lewis and the News, you don't need gimmicks. Huey Lewis, head of the band, (according to his fans, not according to him,) got interested in music in high school in his native Marin County, California. After graduation, he roamed around Europe with his knapsack, long hair, and harmonica. As Huey says, "I didn't know how to play but taught myself while waiting for rides beside European highways. just imagined was In this

Huey returned to Marin County and the job of recruiting out-of-work musician friends to form a new band. In the mid 70's, a Bay area club called Uncle Charlie's started a Monday night Jam session and Paul Butterfield. After a year of that,

News came together as a unified entity. The lineup was, and still is, as follows: ex-Clover keyboardist Sean Hopper, guitarist Chris Hayes, Johnny Colla on guitar and sax, bassist Mario Cipollina and drummer Bill Gibson. The Uncle Charlie's gigs gotmore and more popular, and with the

Huey Lewis and the News really started to roll. A singles deal with Phonogram provided the advance needed to finance the recording of a demo, which lead ultimately to release of disco take off "Exo-disco,"

the Chrysalis contract. In 1980, the Huey Lewis

and the News LP was released after only three weeks of actual recording. Two singles, Some Of My Lies Are True (Sooner Or Later), and Who Cares told radio listeners to watch out for this hot "new" band. 1982 brought us Picture This, a much smoother production of straightforward rock. The growing legion of fans took the album to #13 on Billboard charts, and three Top 40 singles emerged: Do You Believe In Love, Hope You Love Me Like You Say You Do, and Workin For '

The LP has been out for over a year now, and has netted four top ten singles on the charts. The first to emerge was a cover, Heart And Soul, which was followed by an original, Want A New Drug. The next hit, The Heart Of Rock And Roll won several

AND THE NEWS SONGBOOK contains all of these singles and more, all accordance with the original recording. We haven't missed a note, and neither will you. One thing is clear - hard work can replace gimmicks. Huey Lewis and the News are a symbol to all the hard-working musicians out there. You can make it. The HUEY LEWIS

Extended position The ordinary fingering position on guitar is one finger to a fret. Thus, the left hand covers four frets. An extended position means that either the 1st finger or the 4th finger is stretched out of position to reach a certain note. Bends As every rock player knows, the pitch of a note can be raised by pulling (or pushing) a string across the fingerboard, increasing its tension. In both the traditional and tablature notation the note that is fingered is the one indicated. An arrow above the note tells you how far to bend it:the word "Vz" for a half- step higher, the word "full" for a whole step higher. If the arrow is vertical, have the string pushed ^-' higher as indicated. over before you strike the note. If the arrow is curved, strike the written note first, then push *
