Kimberly!!!
 
I've been concerned about you; sent you an email even, about a week or so ago.  But saw you had some bookings, so figured you must be ok.

I only speak the truth Kimberly and your playing backs me up.  
Glad to see (read)you back. I always enjoy reading your posts.  
I'll put you on my prayer list, heal the hand and mend the heart
 
God Bless,

Hi Guys,  
 
  Thank you for all the kind thoughts!  They are very much appreciated, thank you!  
 
  One of the coolest and nicest things about the Alembic online community, the concern and caring about the members by the members.  Sweet!  
 
  Back on topic (kinda). ;)
 
  I remember a girl Epic owner from Montreal, (I think it was), named Bonnie, (I think), that posted a few times here, but it has been awhile.  
 
  Back off topic.  ;)
 
  I do find it interesting though the definite disproportion of male to female bassists out there 'in the world'.  I know locally to me there are a few I'm aware of, (even an upright soloist, Wow!) but comparatively it's hundreds (or likely more) to one, male to female.  I wonder why?  Bass was/is and always has been a natural 'calling' to me.  Very interesting.  Insert puzzled expression emoticon.  ;)
 
  Granted I've heard the physical size of a bass can be intimidating, but with a couple of female students I've had, it's all been a matter of experience with 'hands on' to get over the size issue.  Hmmm....risque/bad joke/double entendre etc potential/opportunity.  Never mind.  ;D
 
  Seriously, I'm in contact with female bassists literally all around the world, but there still exists this very real disproportionate male to female ratio.  I just don't get it. Insert thoughtful expression emoticon.  
 
  Nuff of this.  
 
  Wandering off shaking my head and muttering.  ;)
 
  Best Regards to Everyone,
 
  Kimberly  
   
  PS.  It *is* so good to be part of this community.  I just love it!

Hey Kimberly, good to see you back! Remember, all things must pass, so hang in there!
 
I believe the bass player for the cult-band Betty, Alyson Palmer, plays an Epic. My wife was into them, and we saw them about 8 years ago, and even before I could see the bass, I said That's an Alembic!

Kimberley..good to hear from you and thank you for the offer.
I have 'frozen shoulder' syndrome right now, can still play but it is difficult slinging a 14lb bass over my neck but it's only pain..better than the alternative.
Relationships...25 years I endured, not all bad, not all good either,two great kids(graphic designer & musician/technician).
Don't want that anymore, people have said I will meet someone but right now I am enjoying my freedom.
Hope the injury heals soon and you can get back gigging because that is what we all were born for.
Best wishes
