| just thought maybe some people might be interested in seeing some pictures of lennon playing a ovation.the site itself is a memorial to him and can be sad.but the first few pictures show a happy john playing a great guitar. also on the liner of the double fantasy cd john is shown playing a ovation. www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Venue/1239/ - |

Location: Pensacola, FL | Thanks so much for the memory trip -- both the good and the bad. It was a two lane trip for me in that when I lived in NYC (before Lennon was shot) my apartment was across the street from the Dakota. Both the pictures of Lennon and Ono AND of the Dakota brought floods of memories (including the first time I put my hands on an Ovation guitar).
Thanks again, |

Location: 6 String Ranch | That looks like a legend with the inlay, binding and all. He probably went down to Manny's and bought it. Many of them did this you know, not all were supplied. |

Location: So. Cal. | It sure looks like a Legend to me - the first fret inlay is single diamond (doulbe on the CL), bridge is plain (carved on the CL) and the end of fingerboard is flush to the sond hole. |

| Man I could not stop scrolling down.
I just wanted to see the ovation. Dam!
1980 I was just out of high school and messing around with the band thing. I remember we had a few beatles songs in the list. It is like a rule or something you just gotta do a Beatles tune ya know?
After John got shot we played those beatles songs like our lives depended on it! Figured John would see if I messed up a note.
These guy's together were the best their was!
No one will ever capture "their era" and the feelings that come from "their time" in music the way they did. They were the banner, the flagship of their day.
I was born in "61" so some of you guy's actually lived this era more than I. I lived it through my brother who is 7 years older than I. He always had the new records and the Rock & Roll to listen to! For me it was more like snippits on the television each night of Vietnam, Ed Sullivan, The Beatles, Riots, The Stones,The Kennedy's, Walt Disney, Kaptain Kangaroo in the mornings and a blur of School and My Old Man coming home early from a hard day at work to a stereo truned up to 11 and yelling;
Remember Al " Turn that GOD^%$AM hippie shit down"
Of the Fab 4 John was the coolest!
Dam Shame. |
