The subject was the church at 236 President Street. (One reason Mr. Cohen may have known the correct answer is that he lives only a few doors away!)

The concert,basically a complacent program,made few demands on theaudience, and Maazel%u2019s conducting, tended to the overdramatic. Though the trumpetsoloist was rather stiff throughoutthe evening, the clarinets wereespecially fine in the brilliantProkofiev clarinet parts.Despite the complaints, visitsfrom the Boston Symphony aremost welcome and the reduction ofnext year%u2019s series ought to moveBrooklynites to action.BY CARROLLSUGGOn Friday, March 30, my earsattended meekly, subway stations,rock bands, and subway stationsagain. The rock bands, RonJosephs, Pomeroy, and the Planetsplaying at the Brooklyn Academy,were unendurable, the subterranean trains a little less so.It is going to take a great amountof time and energy to change theincredible decibel level of rapidtransit, but it needn%u2019t be faced ifrock entertainment like that whichSNOYD Music Prod, presented toBrooklyn youth, continues toignore the volume nob! Or isturning down the volume even apossibility?If it is, then that which residedbeneath the shocking quantity ofsound was fragile quality in need ofdevelopment. If, on the other hand,a rock concert has to be %u201cthatloud%u201d to be a rock concert, thenrock concerts are dead with meand consequently not open tocriticism on any level I believe in.Ron Josephs%u2019 group consisted ofelectric piano, lead guitar, bass,percussion and a chorus of threeyoung ladies who, unfortunately,could not be heard. The sounds,which issued mainly from drums,bass, and piano, were at thebeginning of each number, distinctand catchy, sort of sophisticatedhonky tonk. But little difference,and this was true of the Planets,existed from one song to the next. Igrew weary of the only spice in theact, namely, the headman andpianist, who at first came on ratherwell. But his enthusiasm wouldonly reveal itself in the samemotions and calculated ya-ya%u2019s oryea-yea%u2019s. I expected a smidgen ofdiversity. Ron Josephs lackedconfidence and imagewise had re)mettle.I went to the lobby for a cigarette(boo), and when I%u2019d finished Iattempted to re-enter theauditorium. The usher asked tosee, at that point, the stub whichI%u2019d eaten. No matter how i beggedhe wouldn%u2019t let me in. Leaningoutside the entrance then, I fell intoconversation and missed Pomeroy.The hard-headed usher at lastrelented. He gave me a new ticketwhich he took again and tore, thenhanded back to me. I caught thePlanet act.One might suspect that inarranging the program, theproducers had saved the best %u2019tillast. Hardly unexpected, therefore,was the superior attitude that thePlanets came on and off with. Themusic, somewhat familiar, washandled with knowledge. Thevocalist had no range norimagination, his performance wasa bit shy. Rarely did he look intothe audience and often when hissilences arrived he would stand atlengths with his back to us. Wasthis crucial?The bass was good, but uninteresting. The drummer wasfabulous and the lead guitar is onhis way to finer things. His skillwith the instrument provedcompatible with his exaggeratedgesticulations. It was evident thathe was having a marvelous timeand that he respected the fact thatwe should be having a good timetoo.The Planets began to successfully bridge the chasm thathad been created betweenaudience and performers. Itseemed eventually that they weregoing to take us somewhere. Butthey quit, left the stage and didn%u2019treturn. The audience was reluctantto have them disappear, wasstartled to see that which had beenso innocently started, left unfinished.The concert at BrooklynAcademy of Music was SNOYD%u2019sfirst profit-making endeavor andthey managed to break even onFriday%u2019s concert. Beside theirinsensitivity to the volume, theydid an adequate job.The audience seemed to knowitself and SNOYD membersseemed to know the audience,which can be fun, but also harmful.SNOYD handled the lights as ifthey were yo-yos. The time it tookfor one band to leave and the otherto appear was adequate for takinga couple laps around the block. I%u2019dnever seen the musicians complainwhile on stage before. They didFriday night, creating, as can beimagined, a few complaints froman otherwise %u201ceasy%u201d crowd.I was humming, though, as Iwaited for the tram home, aPlanets%u2019 tune, %u201cNer-er-vous brayay ke down...%u201dDistrict LeadersTo Support SlateCharles Monaghan and LouiseFinney, Democratic State Committee- members in the 51stAssembly District have announcedtheir support of a slate of tencandidates running for delegateand alternate to the State JudicialConvention for the 2nd JudicialDistrict.The slate, which is headed bylast year%u2019s Democratic AssemblyJoe Ferris, also includesDemocratic National Committeeman and law professorDaniel G.
