I don't recall ever seeing her playing an Ovation, but I guess it IS possible . . . the "timing" wouldd be right . . . |

Location: south east Michigan | I just did a Google image search. In 8 pages, no Ovations. But every pic that shows her with a wood box guitar looks like a wide neck model of some sort. |

I still have Stevie as my all time fav 70's chick! |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) I like it too Bob...really great song and it sums up the ideals of my generation well...not sure what happened...we wanted change immediately and forgot it comes about gradually for those who keep trying... |
