Go my songs; seek your praise
among the young and intolerant.
Move among the lovers of perfec-
tion alone. Seek ever to stand in
the Sophoclean light, and take
your wounds from it gladly.

-— Ezra Pound

HESE ARE words to live

SPOTLIGHT FEATURE

The philosophical advice
offered by Mr. Pound can be found
taped to the computer in the musi-
cal couple’s North Vancouver
home.

The two teamed up in 1991
and have been working together
ever since.

They are about to test the
Sophoclean light by releasing
Metcalf’s debut CD, Love is an
Outlaw, later this summer.

Steiniger is producing the
album and he also will be teaching
styles and techniques of modern
guitar this Friday as part of Music
West ‘94's Music Show.

His repertoire includes 14th-
century lute music, heavy metal
rock and everything in between.

. Since leaving cold prairie win-
ters behind in 1971 for a musical
career in the big city, Steininger
has accrued album credits with
players such as: John Mellancamp,
Sue Medley, One Horse Blues,
Paul fanz, ICU, Mark Perry,
Doucette, Rita McNeil and Val y
to name just a few. Playing onstage
with Medley, he has opened for
Bob Dylan and Tom Cochrane.

Steininger has been playing and
producing tock, jazz, country,

Jues, and western classical as
well as ethnic music from places
like India, Bali and South America.

__ If Steininger lives and breathes
music, folk-rock singer Metcalfe
lives and bréathes words. “I read
voraciously,” she said. For her,
Love is an Outlaw is a labor of love.

Quoting a fistfull of literists, she
says Steininger creates the perfect
musical environment.

Metcalfe has been making a
name for herself in the local music
