Happy B-day David - I was 53 yesterday. It has its downsides, but given the alternative, I'll take the pains. And the lovely & charming let me buy some of Edwin's graphite pick stash - not a Tribute, but at our age we take what we can get.

Happy B-day David & Peter.

Ah, it seems what we have here is the Aries section of the Alembic club! I too turned 53 in April ... that is April 9th of last year. Yes it is true, my days as a 53 year old grow very short indeed. There is, however, always a bright side. Next week I shall be 54, and thus will be able to truthfully claim to be better than Jerry Garcia at at least one thing. (Can I get a GRRROOOOOAAAANNNNNN?)

Bill, tgo

FIFTY-THREE, GEEZ, Oh ME.. OH MY ..........oops, was that out loud, sorry?

Happy Birthday to you all. In fact ya'll meet me in Chicago next month (I heaer there is something going on) and we'll celebrate!

It's an introduction to a really great year! Happy celebrations!

Hey, we sort of share a birthday, Bill - I was 53 yesterday, but I'll be 34 on the 9th (4-9-75 - if the wreck had been about 1 block farther from the hospital...yeah, 53 really does beat dead at 19!)

Peter

PS - David: is Toured with Elvis a really cool band name or did you? And geez, how young were you?

Peter, I toured the U.S. with a Elvis impersonator in 1977, we started the tour three weeks after Elvis had died, the tour started in Washington D.C. and ended some where in Calif. with a month in Las Vegas, and yes I played my Alembic Series 1 the whole tour. I was 21 years old and when the tour was over I bought my first Porsche and paid off my Series 1, what a year that was !!!!

TOURED WITH ELVIS
that would be a great name for a band !!

More congruance! I was doing sound for an Elvis impersonator in '77. Started in Jan, & was with them When The King Passed On - left them a few weeks after. It was truly weird; John (the singer) got almost suicidal - thought there was no point to music if E was dead, and refused to go on at the first few gigs after - and this is after we were set up & the crowd was drunk. It got hairy a few times (Think Blues Brothers - and 2 out of 3 were without the chicken wire), No Alembic or Porsche for me. We were working redneck bars in southern OH (yes, I realize that's redundant), & I got $15 a night & all the beer I could drink.

I hope you took all the beer you could drink Peter, sounds like you needed and deserved it...happy birthday to all as well, I turned 43 this year, and this year is also 2 years cancer free (melanoma...sucks to be a pale Scotsman...) so so far actually a good year for me, and I hope all of you as well...Tony

54 last Friday, here. Still holding together, I guess.
In 77 I was backing up a lounge singer who kindof thought he was Elvis. Right after Elvis died was a pretty weird time to be hanging with people who were totally into him.

Today I am 54 - something that even the great Jerry Garcia never accomplished! (53 was, admittedly, a little spooky for me). It's also Hugh Hefner's b-day, but I think he has a few years on me. lol Played with my band Stonetrout last night and I'll be playing in a dead jam this weekend. Oh yea, and my 14 year old and I are going to opening night at the A's tomorrow. I suspect I may be getting a musically related gift or two later today. The funny thing is I can remember when I thought 54 was getting old - I was obviously quite stupid back then!

Bill, tgo

Heck, Bill, I remember when I thought 27 was as old as I wanted get. Now 2 of 3 sons are that or more, & I'm still a pup!
Happy birthday.
