Debbie Parker-Kuhns, bass player for the Philly Nuggets, sent me this last week. It's the page from the Memphis phone book that she ripped out on her way through town in 1979 as described in the book. Even though Deb had already met Alex in Austin (when our friend Pete LaBonne jumped up on stage and jammed with Alex), in my mind the story really began with this piece of paper. I still remember the May night when we worked up the nerve to call Alex on the phone, something we wouldn't have done if not for having this slip of paper. Somehow seeing that there was only one Chilton in Memphis made us think we could reach him easily. I remember his mom answering the phone and calling him, having a sweet sound in her voice like he was still a teenager...
