I think Jon asked Alec out of friendship--they knew each other from the club circuits. Dave was the 1st member to join the band, but Alec was 2nd. It was Alec who called Tico and asked Tico to meet with Jon and it was Alec who called Richie and told him to come check out the band because they were looking for someone other than Dave Sabo to be a permanent guitarist. Alec is key to introducing Jon and Richie and he can be thanked for bringing together one of the most amazing duos in rock history.
