Hi gang! I saw a recent DVD from the Doobie Bros recently and I was really blown away! I always loved that band since I was playing their records (remember ....the black round plates with a hole in the middle ...???huh???) on our attic at home. On the DVD you can see "Skylark" for a short while playing an Alembic (for the rest of the show he seemed to play Lakland). But (ooo that but) I found this picture: Skylark WITH his Alembic! I don't know his real name but he is a fabulous player AND singer and doing both at the same time!!!! Paul TBO |

Hey Paul, finally found some time to join in again? Good to hear from you. Yes, I remember those shiny black round vinyl music carriers. Three weeks ago I loaded 30 CDs into my Zen player, which sits in my breast pocket, and 30 CDs is roughly 50 LPs ... What has the world come to. |

I've seen the Doobie's several times, although it's been at least 5 years since the last time, and Skylark played and Alembic every time. And you're right he's a great player. Very energetic too. |

Don't forget, Skylark's predecessor also played Alembic. Graeme |

Of course I was expecting to see an Alembic Skylark. This "Skylark" is just alright with me. |
