Title: My new girl!
Post by: jalevinemd on July 23, 2008, 12:33:45 PM: Well...this morning at 1:13 am CST, my daughter Johnna was born. My third and last. Mom and baby are doing great. Sure it means another college education and wedding to pay for, but it also means another Alembic to join the ranks!

Post by: tbrannon on July 23, 2008, 01:34:23 PM: Congratulations!! Glad to hear Mom and baby are happy and healthy.

Any ideas on the Alembic-to-be?

Glad that everthing is ok and Mom and baby are well.

Big CONGRATS to you, senior management (whom, I presume, did most of the work) and the whole clan. Maybe a family band is in order?

By the way thanks for the suggestions. Kamehachi Old Town was wonderful, as was Buddy Guy's Legends. I never made it to Chicago Music Exchange, but I did get to Makenmusic. Nice selection, VERY nice people - I said you sent me and the guy immediately told me about your affinity for B.C. Riches. I fell in love with a Veillette Gryphon acoustic/electric tenor 12 string. It's about $3,500, but I'm trying to talk myself into picking one up. Check it out next time you're in there. An amazing instrument, sort of a cross between a 12 string guitar and a mandolin.

Anyway, enjoy the diapers and try to get some sleep!

Bill, tgo

Post by: jalevinemd on July 23, 2008, 05:18:59 PM: Thanks guys.

Bill, glad the trip was enjoyable. Next time, I'll have to join you. Chicago's a great place to live. Wonderful restaurants, shops, sports, people and no earthquakes (no real ones at least). You should think about it.

Toby, I'm not sure about the design, yet. But I'm sure it'll be somewhere in the Darling family.

Off to the hospital...then to bed.

Regards,

Jonathan

I'll gladly endure a quake now and then in exchange for NEVER shoveling, driving in, walking through, or living with snow. And I'm closer to Alembic. Think how much you'd save on shipping costs alone! Might just pay for the caterer at the wedding (glad the first two were boybys?)

Bill, tgo

Ironic that you say that about the new child=new guitar. For me, when my daughter was born I acquired a luthier-made classical (she likes classical music). When my son was born, it was a 6 string acoustic guitar (bit more of a rocker, he is).

I wish you joy with your new arrival! (and sleep when you can get it)

Post by: lbpesq on July 29, 2008, 06:21:14 PM: Even better looking than their matching guitars, and those Alembics are a tough act to beat! You are truly blessed, Jonathan.

Bill, tgo

Bill...speaking of their guitars, in a couple of weeks we're going to do a black and white photo shoot of my two oldest with their Alembics. I'll post them down the line.
Title: My new girl!
Post by: rogueman on August 14, 2008, 08:37:30 PM: Congratulations, the wonders of childbirth. You better start saving for Alembics for each one of them.
Title: My new girl!
Post by: jas on September 23, 2008, 02:31:13 PM: Congratulations! I've got one (daughter and Alembic) and another child on the way. Do I have to get more Alembics? ... Perhaps a Series I to go with the '86 Persuader?

Best wishes to you and your family!
