He does insist on testing out some basses and guitars as well, but only with his fingers. Share your photos of your little cuties with an Alembic bass or guitar. Babies make everyone smile! bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 2064 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 8:28 pm:    Nice one, Mica. Will we be seeing an 18" scale bass built to get him started in the next year or two? Great way to make use of some of those smaller pieces of wood that need a purpose! robinc Member Username: robinc Post Number: 94 Registered: 5-2008 Posted on Monday, October 27, 2008 - 11:06 pm:    nice shirt! keavin Senior Member Username: keavin Post Number: 1485 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 1:53 am:    Wow that kid is growing!..Very cute keavin Senior Member Username: keavin Post Number: 1486 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 1:56 am:    here's one of our grand daughter! dadabass2001 Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 963 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 4:35 am:    " The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time..." I'll try to get some shots of my grandkids. My how Erik has grown!

He now knocks the s**t out of it on stage at the age of 20. It doesn't seem like a year has past and Erik had just come into the Alembic world. funkyjazzjunky Advanced Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 238 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 12:13 pm:    Lucky (and beautiful) children poor_nigel Senior Member Username: poor_nigel Post Number: 584 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 1:46 pm:    Cute kids and Alembics even make cross, old men like me smile. Very enjoyable, even if little Eric and his wooden mallet give me the jitters! cozmik_cowboy Advanced Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 369 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, October 29, 2008 - 7:30 am:    Starting them early works! In 1988, my youngest son, David, got a plastic "con-tar" (as he called it at the time) for his 3rd birthday; I was on the back porch, wearing a hat & playing, so he put one on, grabbed his ax, and joined me: Here he is last winter, gigging with his band The Ducks (from Mississippi John Hurt - "If the river was whiskey and I was a diving duck..."). He's 2nd from left: OK, his start wasn't as auspicious as Erik's, but the end result was good! Peter
