BOWIE HIMSELF did more than 300 concerts in 1983 alone. Aside from the AEC, he travelled with Roots to the Source, a band made up of his ex-wife Fontella Bass, her gospel singing mother Martha, and brother David Peaston, along with drummer Philip Wilson (an old pal), and Chicago based saxophonist Ari Brown. Bowie also formed the new Brass Fantasy group from the core of the New York Hot Trumpet Repertory Company, and he plans to record with them at the end of this summer...

...Adviser in Washington. In the Cabinet, George Shultz may bow out as Secretary of State at the end of the first term, presenting Reagan with another fateful prag-matist-conservative choice.
