Location: Yucaipa, California | Last Saturday night on PBS "Mountain Stage", Jeannie Kendall (of the Kendalls) played a set and one of her guitarists was playing an Ovation (it appeared to be an Elite- spruce top, non-cutaway, double epaulettes, plugged in)!
He was truly holding his own playing in a Bluegrass band :D and there were several great closeups!
Every little bit helps! :)

Location: Athens, GA & Gnashville | There is a Bill Monroe instructional mandolin tape by Homespun where the guitar player in The Bluegrass Boys was playing an Elite, I think an original 1537. This blew my mind! I had not seen an Ovation played in hardcore bluegrass since Tony Rice and Bill Harrell did their endorsement deals years ago.
Tony used his Legend on the "Manzanita" album. |

Location: Tennessee | My son (a neo-Cowboy) brought home a copy of a country music magazine, and there was a "where-are-they-now" feature on Janie Fricke. The picture had her sitting there holding a very pretty Elite. It was white, with a white headstock, 5-piece neck, and epaulets that were a match for the ones on the 1988 Collectors. Very pretty indeed. |
