Correction The newly-revived rock caps (suspiciously instituted last week to order to hype John Lincoln Wright and the Sour Mash Boys--who, by the way, are playing tonight through Saturday at The Club, a warehouse-like place on Main St. in Cambridge with better acoustics than Mather House last weekend but where you should leave your coat outside in the bushes because they force you to check your cost among other annoying little rip-off like the absence of draft been made a mistake last week when some roof at WHRB told me that the long rock orgy announced last week was last week but it's not it's this week beginning with The Agony and the Ecstasy," with acts that just-missed the big time, tonight at midnight, followed immediately by the Beatles Orgy at 10 p.m. Friday. And the Dead Orgy--rumored to have died--is back, coming soon.
Harvard Rock. The young Ivy cherubs of rock get together at Quincy House this Saturday night: Brock Walsh on vocals and Richard Lyons on plano. Also John Payne--one of the Friends of Delaney and Bonnie--on sax. 9 p.m.

By the end the dentist's office radio stations were playing JT. Anyway, what's left of him is at the Music Hall Sunday night.
Bluegrass. The best bet this week may be the culmination of the bluegrass series at the church at Garden and Mason Sts., the one with the rooster on the weathervane. This is the Sunday afternoon where they really kick it out (at 2 p.m. running all day), with Don Stover and the White Oak Mountain Boys, Joe Val and the New England Bluegrass Boys. How Banks Fall (great name) and more. Three bucks.
