A note on concerts and concert numbering: The numbers above are taken from the original programs. There was always controversy about whether the "Composers Unleashed" concert should have been considered a Composers' Cafeteria event, and thus given a number. There is also controversy about whether the original "Blue Plate Special" concert (presented within the context of a political concert-marathon) counted as a full concert. Due to currents of bickering, "Eighteenth Concert number one" was declared at the time of "Eighteenth Concert number two" to have been the seventeenth. Finally, I don't have programs for a concerts 16 and 17; presumably 17 is "Eighteenth Concert number one" (the "Let's count `Unleashed' as a concert" faction becoming militant). But what about the sixteenth concert?
