Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | CMT reran about six or seven of the old HEE HAW shows this weekend.....Did anyone watch any of them?
.............. ..............
Anywho....I did and I saw a lot of Ovations being played by:
A very young George Strait playing a 1756 Legend 12 string! (He normally uses top end Martins and Guilds and he was actually chording and struming the Ovation instead of the others that he uses as expensive props)
Jimmy Fortune of the Statler Bros. was playing a 1624 Country Artist!
Jim and Jon,The Hagar Twins playing a 1756 Legend 12 string! (possibly the same one that George Strait used?)
A member of the Hee Haw house band playing a Legend(?) behind a couple of guest stars.
Roy Clark did a instrumental with his Deacon 12 string!(Nice)
Lastly,Roy Clark with the Hee Haw Gospel Quartet.
Roy was playing a Slothead Adamas!!! The Slothead was blue (-8) but according to the reference section.....#38 (belonging to Roy Clark's band member Bill Hartman) is LTD Nutmeg/Anniversary Brown/Beige/Tan (-7)......I wonder what # the blue one he was playing is and who it belonged to?
....It was good to see some classic Ovations on the tube again! |

He used it to play that Dr. Zhivago thing. "Lara's Theme"? I think?
The rest of the night he playd what I think were Heritages. |

Location: Central Oregon | I watched most of that. Definitely the most Ovations I've seen on TV in one day ever.
Hank Williams Jr. was sure young looking. That was the first time I've seen Tennessee Ernie Ford in a looong time.
For some reason Hee Haw is better now than it was the first time around. Go figure. I hope they put it on regularly for a while. |

I wonder what ever became of Barbi Benton? |

Location: SoCal | You know, Roseanne Barr has never been my cup of tea, but when she did the National Anthem at a baseball game, I nearly died laughing. So many people thought what she did was horrible and I knew exactly what she did and why she did it and thought it was hilarious!
Makes me wonder what that says about me...... |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | Watched every minute of the few HEE HAWS they showed. Saw many Ovations played by many people who later became super stars. Remembered that I watched every HEE HAW that ever existed and loved them all.
Two men in white suits just showed up and hauled me off to somewhere in Nashville that wants to stamp out that kind of country. I hope some of my compadres will form a rescue thing and get me out of here like Ollie North did.

Location: Las Cruces, NM | Just a small memory from a previous existance:
In the 70's, my company sent me to Los Angeles for a seminar on xray emission units by a prominent foreign company that we were going to buy for a terribly expensive cost to the feds, but we were going to realize some capabilities to analyze quantities of weapons grade uranium.
The thing was held at the Beverly Hills Hilton concurrant with a Buick advertising campaign spearheaded by Playboy's Leader and his newest girlfriend, Barbi Benton. The punch line is, I suspect I am one of the few members that was almost run over by Barbi and Hugh while I was just trying to see some celebreties, Barbi was a young beauty, Hugh was an aging lecher, at least in my mind, Barbi smiled at me and made my day, her skirt was short, I couldn't determine whether she had anything under it as in her Playboy photo displays
Then I had to go back to business, but it was hard.

Location: Tennessee | New sighting: Just picked up a copy of Gary Hoey's soundtrack for The Endless Summer II ... inside the booklet there is a full panel picture of Gary playing an Adamas I 12 string in red. There's another pic of him with the guitar in a collage. In the liner notes, it says Gary endorses "Hamer Guitars, Ovation and Takamine acoustic guitars...".
In an OFC related parallel universe, he also plays a version of Linus and Lucy on the album. Neither his or Vince's version sound quite right to me anymore. |
