Jimmy J, The first time Julius landed in my hands. Melvin the owner of Reliable was a close friend who loved music. He also did sound and some recording for a band I played in called Hummingbird. One day he called and said he had something I needed to come to the store and see mysteriously. So there it was it chose me. I told Melvin I couldn't afford it and I already had my 58-P-bass. After Hummingbird broke up I was asked by a band in the Greensboro are to come up and jam. It went well and they wanted to start a band. We called it Free Whirled Band. These guys had bought the Alembic Bass, and had two Alembic guitars, but the bass had been stolen. After a few months we heard a guy was playing an Alembic Bass in a club in Raleigh. He gave it back reluctantly and it was in my hands for the second time. With the electronics the music Whirled we were Free. For about five years we continued our journey never looking back, only in the now could the music control the game. A wonderful experience I am grateful. Thanks mica the only people I knew that created Julius was Ron, Rick, and Sam. The magic spread from the west coast to the east coast. To be continued....
