I'd normally run to side of the "developmentaly disabled" person who needs help, but Dave's just a masochist who thrives an this kind of abuse. Sorta like Bill Murray's character in the film version of "Little Shop of Horrors" or perhaps Jello Bifra :D :p :D :p

I think they should have told him he missed a turn.....Nazareth, PA is THAT-A-WAY...... :)

Somebody needs to go to the Martin Owners day at Nazareth, I think it's in August, and wear an Ovation shirt......that way, the balance of the universe is maintained.

I'll go one better. I trade an Ovation t-shirt for the guitar. :D

How does the sound compare with your new Martin?

1. The guitar is Jerome's, so is the apartment
2. I have no freaking idea what the chinese says, understanding french is difficult enough for me
3. Playing a small instrument makes the big ones feel even bigger
4. I don't think you can compare the sound of a 47 to a Martin or to any other normal guitar, it's just too different. Some will like it some won't.

I didn't intentionally wear the shirt. It was the morning after the late night of the French Ovations event and I was just sitting arounf Jeromes apartment playing the 47. Then it dawned on my how ironic for the Martin shirt to be belly-to-bowl with the 47.

Al, of course I know that. I was not complaining or directing anything in your direction. It was just a statement. You busted my balls about my martin shirt so I had to jab back a little. No harm intended. Chill pill, Bro. (how's my ghetto slang?) Dave

That photo reminds me so good moments...

It's a good example of Dave's spirit.
Always smiling and with so much humor.
A great guy!!!

I don't know what these Chinese characters means...
I just remember that it's a Chinese poem.
