Kevin
was
an
enthusiastic
and
knowledgeable
tour
guide
who
was
able
to
field
all
questions
and
make
the
tour
an
amusing,
entertaining
and
very
personal
experience
for
me
on
my
first
visit
to
Athens
Georgia
with
more
questions
than
we
had
time
for
in
an
hour
and
a
half
tour.
I
recommend
this
tour
to
all
first
time
Athens
visitors,
although
I
will
advise
that
it
could
be
physically
strenuous
(especially
in
the
heat
of
summer)
for
those
who
are
not
comfortable
with
a
hike.
The
terrain
is
not
demanding,
but
there
are
some
hills
(although
this
is
not
San
Francisco!!)
and
there’s
a
lot
of
walking—of
course
because
it’s
a
walking
tour!
It
would
be
fun
to
do
this
on
scooters
or
by
bicycle,
and
perhaps
cover
some
more
territory
around
UGA.
Finally,
for
those
who
are
aficionados
of
the
70s
80s
and
90s
music
scene
in
Athens
and
the
bands
that
were
spawned
in
that
environment,
I
highly
recommend
Paul
Butchart’s
walking
tour
of
Athens
music
haunts.
Paul
is
a
very
knowledgeable
tour
guide,
as
he
LIVED
the
scene.
He
was
present
from
the
beginning
and
personally
knows
all
the
players.
He
was
at
the
house
parties.
He
was
at
the
initial
40
Watt
Club.
Paul
was
the
drummer
in
one
of
the
seminal
Athens
bands
of
the
70s—The
Side
Effects,
who
toured
alongside
REM
and
Pylon
up
and
down
the
East
Coast
in
the
late
70s
and
early
80s.
And
while
you’re
here,
be
sure
to
go
to
the
UGA
special
collections
museum
at
Baxter
and
N.
Newton
streets
for
the
exhibit
of
house
party
photos
and
art.
