Welcome back! Hard to believe this is the third gathering in eleven months. Short preamble. 16 Alembics, 6 bassists, one drummer and one guitar. David Tichenor made it down from Oklahoma City for the second time. And joining us for the first time, Michael Delacerda, dela217, drove all the way from New Orleans. The usual DFW core was comprised of John Terry, Olie Oliver, Wayne McClemore and myself. Pete Foskett returned as our honorary drummer. David Seaton was gracious enough to supply the higher frequency end. I think he'd return if invited. As additional pictures are posted you'll get a better idea as to how the day unfolded. The following pics are from Wayne. A different Tale of Two Cities. Michael with David's '76 Series 1 and David with Michael's graphite-necked SS Series 2. Peeking from behind Michael, left to right, a four string 20th Anniversary, the "Unicorn" and a five string Anniversary.

Michael with Wayne's fretless five string Series.

Olie holding Michael's Alembic #16. Aside from the historical aspect, #16 is absolutely gorgeous. To the left are Michael's graphite Alembic, John's Exploiter and Wayne's fretless fiver.

More talking than playing and all of it good. Hopefully there will be more to look at soon. It was a great way to spend an afternoon. looking forward to the next one, Mike
