Title: Alembic sighting - Oktoberfest!
Post by: alembic83 on September 17, 2012, 09:56:26 PM

Had an unexpected but nice Alembic sighting at the Mt. Angel Oktoberfest (Oregon) on Sunday! The bassist, Andi, was playing a 5 string Spoiler for the band Original Donau Musikanten. I didn't get a picture of him playing bass, but I did get a picture with him and chatted for a bit. I made sure to tell him I also play an Alembic Spoiler!  
 
The band was very entertaining and it was great to see/hear an Alembic adding to the festive atmosphere. The German beer helped a bit, too.  
 
Prost!

Five string, Flame Maple top, Mahogany body, Maple and Purpleheart neck?  This bass (http://donaumusikanten.com/files/2011/11/DSCN0014.jpg)?

I'd say that the Lederhosen are a dead give-away.

Thanks for that photo, Dave--suddenly I realize the vital ingredient I've omitted from my stage wardrobe--LEDERHOSEN! Ja ja!

Do my eyes deceive me, or is that the Teutonic interpretation of the fish-slapping dance?

LOL___  I still have my Lederhose (singular) that my Grandmother gave me when I was 11 years old ( it does not fit me anymore of course)

I bet Sting played the Classico during this concert. Anyone find any footage of someone playing it?
