Sitting through 20 minutes of a Country music infomercial you've already seen, just to try and get a picture of a 3-4 second clip for another club member. Boy, talk about going above and beyond! My hat's off to you, brother.

Bill, tgo

My daughter and son-in-law, a bass player by the way, walked back down the isle to Billy Idol's White Wedding. It was very touching.

Bill, togo, thank you. Actually it isn't much of a bother. I took note of the artist's name, the person on before the clip (a little advance warning) and how many minutes into the infomercial it was. Next time I see it on I'll have a few minutes to get my camera and get ready. I'm not even sure it was an Alembic. It surely looked like one, though.
Often when I decide to watch TV I can't find anything interesting on. In my channel surfing I like to see if I can spot any Alembics. Just a little time-wasting hobby I have.
I liked your wife being happy comments on the Roman Conquerer thread. It made me think of one I heard once. One sign said When momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. The other sign said When daddy ain't happy, nobody cares. I thought about posting it after yours but decided to leave that thread alone, whew.
BTW, I like your quote.

Still, that's an inconvenience for you just to peak the interest of someone else in cyberspace. Man, I love this site. A really fine bunch of people.

As a follow-up to Sam, my wife walked down the aisle to Ripple and we walked back up to Sugar Magnolia

One of the advantages of waiting to 46 to get married - parents had no say whatsoever in the wedding plans. (Of course they had nothing to do with paying for it either! LOL).

Bill, tgo

John Anderson is one of the coolest of the true, classic Country Stars. Wouldn't surprise me at all that he'd be playing Alembics.

We also had a tie-dye cake, my then 6 year old stepson and I wore matching tie-dye bowties and cummerbunds with our tuxes, and the wait staff all wore matching tie-dye T-shirts. The wedding invitation was a full size 60's Fillmore-style poster that went out to the guests in a mailing tube. We had a lot of fun with it. (As it should be).

Bill, tgo

I just got back from BB King's in NYC and saw guitarist Dan Lane with his Alembic with Dr. Hoodoo Medicine show. I used to play in a band way back with the other guitarist Bob Susko. Didn't stay for much of Rick Derringer, who was using a Warrior as far as I could tell.

Rick Derringer is using Warriors these days. I believe there's actually a RD model. They've run a few full page color ads on the back of Vintage Guitar Magazine lately.

OK, David, here's a pic. Sorry it's so grainy. That's the best I could do taking a pic of the TV. When I saw 2 or 3 shots totaling 5 seconds it looked like it could be an Alembic that John Anderson was playing. When I get to stare at it for awhile I don't think so. I couldn't get a pic that shows the headstock more clearly.
Anyone recognize this thing?

Hey Rich, thanks. I don't recognize it; but it kinda looks familiar.
