Title: Name the Alembic employees
Post by: dgansz on April 27, 2020, 12:22:14 PM

I seem to remember a thread years ago (which I can no longer locate) in which the Alembic crew photographed in Rolling Stone in 1973 were identified.  Please enlighten me.  And please post a scan of the pic that’s clearer than mine!

Cheers,

David

Yeah, that’s about as far as I got too!

I distinctly remember in the old thread somebody id’ing the dude in the suit.  Can’t remember now who it was...

Cheers,

David

That Rolling Stone article is a pretty good read if you never have... a lot of it is excerpted from interviewing Rick Turner back then, so there's that to be taken into consideration, but there's talk of the early development of The Wall, the Recording Studio, Mission Control, Big Brown, Alligator, another of Jerry's guitars in development, etc.

I can't tell from the grainy picture, but I wonder if the dude in the suit is Rock Scully? And yes, little Mica on Daddy's knee there in the old shop is worth a million. Photographic evidence - she's a lifer.  ;D

Couldn't  pick out anyone except Ron, Mica, and Susan (second woman to the left of Ron). I have this article stashed away somewhere in the garage.
