During random perusing of concert videos, I decided to check out some old BOC to look for any Alembic action. Lo and behold, I came across a video from the Capitol Centre in Largo, Maryland (where I saw my first concert!). Bouchard is playing an Alembic in this video. If you go to around 1:01:18, you will hear a lengthy bass solo on this instrument. I found an old thread here about Bouchard, but does anyone know anything more about the bass he is using here? Pretty sure it's not #12.

There was also a palpable magnetic attraction between the two, as well as an envious vibe from the picnic table. pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 1528 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Sunday, July 05, 2015 - 6:31 am:    ". . . envious vibe from the picnic table" :-D davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 11831 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, July 05, 2015 - 3:21 pm:
