Title: Raise a glass
Post by: mica on February 03, 2010, 06:38:30 PM: Here we are, one year later. I do miss him very much. He still is a big part of our community here at the Alembic Club.

Yesterday I received a kind email from Paul's friend David that I would like to pass along:

Hi all friends of Paul .... yes, indeed it's already one year ago that Paul left us all into another Music World - hopefully the one which cares of us all !!!!

Many thanks of you all to remember him in Memorial Remembrance and Tribute of the Alembic Guitar.

Keep the circle warm ....

Post by: jalevinemd on February 04, 2010, 05:09:38 PM: To Paul...

He reminds me of a different time. I was a first time father and first time Alembic owner...new to both and the club as well. He embodied everything this place was about - comradery, compassion and good natured ribbing. It was somewhere to come for information and to share experiences and stories with people with whom you had a common bond - a love for music and Alembics. He may have had his stockings always at the ready but he never got his knickers in a twist.

He is missed...

Post by: bassplayer on April 30, 2010, 09:15:28 AM: A bit TOO late i'm afraid, but i raised a glass as well for Paul (aka Palembic).
I DO KNOW that i'm not much of a poster here, but i DO realize that Paul was a member who was VERY popular here (and elsewhere, i'm sure!).
God bless you, Paul!!

Grtz,

Post by: adriaan on April 30, 2010, 02:28:21 PM: Just yesterday, I had a glass of Lindemans kriek beer - cherry scented lambiek - not sure about the exact relation between lambiek and alembic, but there must be something. (Also, lambiek is one of the beers that can improve with age.)

I seem to remember Paul was related to the brewery family. Very nice, artisanal beer - tasted like real cherries - sweet and sour.

To life, to Paul!

Title: Raise a glass
Post by: David Houck on June 14, 2010, 04:48:49 PM: Happy Birthday Paul!

I just got a Skype message that it's your birthday. It's just turned June 15 over on your side of the Atlantic, and I guess your account is still active. It was a bit of a surprise at first, but then I guess it's just like you to pull something like that!

So happy birthday my friend. You continue to be an influence and inspiration to so many of us here at the club; and we thank you for that.

Cheers!

Post by: 811952 on October 05, 2010, 07:24:48 AM: I can't begin to keep track of how often Paul's words and/or attitude pop into my head as I go about my daily business. Of course, most of it I am compelled to keep to myself!

Hope the family is doing well, and that Broomstick and Bonnie are getting plenty of love..

He was a wise and wonderful human being and I feel very lucky to have met him in person when he graced us with his presence at the Northern California Gathering.

Post by: cozmik_cowboy on February 03, 2012, 08:31:55 AM: Inspired by New Glarus's Abt & Lost Coast's Brother Thelonius, as well as by Mr. Lindemans, I am trying to work up a recipe for a Trappist Quadruppel ale; if it turns out well, I'm planning on naming the recipe Brother Paul (I'm trying do it so that certain malts will have ratios of 1:5, 1:5).
