first Art Ensemble of  Chicago concert in the Deep South (i.e. between DC 
and Texas) and met  trumpeter Lester Bowie . . .

Mitchell, I attended a AEC in Athens in the early 80's in UGA's Memorial 
Hall.  Might have been their 2nd visit???  It was wonderful!!!  I told 
Lester after the concert that I was totally out of breath listening to them. 
He responded to the effect of:  "Imagine how we felt."  Got to hang out with 
all of "the guys" at the Georgian Hotel lobby/bar afterwards for a couple 
hours.  They signed one of my AEC albums.  Lester looked to make sure it 
wasn't a promo copy before he would sign it.  Very thrilling evening.  Don 
Moye stuck around a couple days after the concert and dropped by my 
apartment during his stay.   Great days in Athens!!!
