I think I know now why I was drawn to post on this forum. I think now it has more to do with memories than it has to do with basses. My wife sees the old Tex-Mex Strat as an old guitar that he doesn't play anymore, but I still see him playing Black Dog on it in the 6th grade talent show. Those aren't musical instruments...they are memry sticks.

Brother John the Paul one
(sounds nice too h? ...we have a Brother Paul the John one too ...hahahaha).
Well ...that is a very nice story you shared with us. Seem that not all of us are the heavy Rock&Rollers but try to have a family life too.
BTW: Brother Paul the fake one (the artist formerly known as Dino) can testify that playing upright is VERY relaxing for unborn children ...I mean ...when they are in the mothers ...help ...my english ...this doesn't sound right.

Pappy ...true, but the best memory sticks are those who are still sounding.

Brother Paul the bad one,
My ultimate fear is that they will grow up to be like me, a very difficult child! My wife just laughs and tells me I've got it coming.. It sounds like Pappy is going to be *stuck* with a bunch of really nice memory sticks for a long time, which isn't a bad thing at all. Pappy, when your son has kids (and he will) I bet he will want to pass along to them the wonderful things you've passed along to him, Alembic included. I've got a couple of my grandfather's violins (one he made from scrap wood early in the previous century and one a very good Stradivarius copy from the 1700's - he also used to gig with Sousa on a reed instrument), and can't describe the awe, wonder and curiosity I feel when I touch them. If you can hang on to the instruments you will be doing your grandchildren a favor that cannot be duplicated...

Paul t b o
You are so right...the memory sticks he now uses are 6 string guitars...one strat...one tele...one Gibson SG...one Gibson MM...and every once in awhile when the Punk juices are not flowing he will play some old guy Rock on the PRS HB-II memory stick. He came home from a gig the other night and asked that I help him clean up his strat and tele...he had dropped his pick and kept going and tore open his strumming finger so there was blood splashed all over the blonde natural Ash wood...quite dramatic he said...a la Ramones. The days of 20 minute Jazz Fusion jams have turned to 2 minute fast playing all Marshall knobs on 10 sing and scream and sweat Punk Rock.
Any tips for getting blood out of single coil pickups? These memory sticks are in shock I think.

Brother Bill,

let me try something wise here again.
If that energy is in his body than I think the best way to let it erupt is in music. And a lot of energy demands ...well ...the kind of music that puts Marshalls to 10 all over the line.

I'm quite sure that there will come a day that your sun will be in control of that energy and you will be amazed what he will have mastered! I bet he will combine styles and music in him that we can only dream of.

Let's be serious ...we did it the same way.
Only ...we were another vulcano

Blood out of single coils?? Without any offence but I let it there!!! It's a memory stick no???
