PAGE 20 â€" Chronicle Specia!l & Canada‘s top performers are making world headlines this week with the "Tears Are Not Enough" single, the art‘s effort to help the Ethiopians. The country‘s favorite travelling troubadour, Murray McLauchlan appeared to do his part, with over 50 musicians and others from every walk of the arts. _ His simple observation arts are not politics." _ McLauchlan, who plays UW‘s Humanities Theatre Friday night has been busy, working on final edits for his television special and putting together his current tour. But what else is new? The homegrown witticist can‘t sit still for a moment â€" whether he‘s flying in the skies, or has his feet firmly planted on the ground. And what a lot of Canada he‘s covered since he last played this area last year at Cambridge‘s capacity â€" crammed now â€" defunct Old Post Office. Much Music video channel fans will have seen McLauchlan‘s latâ€" est video, Song For Captain Keast. ‘"Boy, it‘s kind of a joke. The first video we did cost $1,400. But this one, cost $750,000, because we did a lot of special superimposing and took a lot of footage from my upcoming July television special. And it concerns part of my Timâ€" berline project where I took my float plane around the country and interviewed various people from all different backgrounds. The video itself was shot by Toronto filmmaker Peter Thurling."

But McLauchlan was more anxâ€" ious to chat about his latest chalâ€" *‘The television special was a lot of fun and a great deal of work. It‘s more entertainment â€" oriented, featuring some fine talent Buffy Ste Marie, Ian Tyson, Gordie Lightfoot and even Levon Helm (from the Band). In one fantasy history sequence Levon and I get to play 18th century Acadians who get shot, in fancy duds. It‘s a riot romping around," said McLauchâ€" lan with a loud chuckle. "I try to farm out my work. Heroes, my current album, has had a crossover, and has been played on the 10 top country stations coast to coast, in addition to the other adult contemporary channels." Opinionated, and ever the phiâ€" losopher, McLauchlan is still doing ‘ropetricks with his words‘. And he‘s looking forward to the show Friday. "I think the fans will like it. I‘m also working on a new album but Friday I‘m going to be solo. Yep. Just me and my old sixâ€"string. I‘ve been writing songs based on reâ€" flections as of late. There‘s a love song called I‘m Best At Loving You and another track called Joey and Me, all about a guy I knew as a best friend when 1 was 16. We didn‘t see each other for years and then one day, we meet on the street. Well, hell, the Vietman war has passed and we begin to talk about everything, and how much better the world could be if no one ever got shot."
