Location: Tuscany, Italy | ....every day early in the morning old tv series are broadcasted here for those of us nostalgic of the '70s. You name it: Kojak, Sergent Pepper, Magnum PI, Starsky & Hutch, and so on.
This morning, while doing housework, my wife [that is well trained on Ovation things ... :) ] noted that Mr. Hutch (David Soul) was playing a
very nice Ovation. She download the episode (italian version) for our file.
You can see the English version HERE . Jump to min 6.00.
You will notice a very nice Folklore. Ok, it looks like a Folklore but it show different appointments compared with the standard production. The
more visible from the video is the abalone purfling on the body ..... maybe an early custom order ? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I don't think I ever saw the show, although I heard the song on the radio. I'm not implying that I had any taste in what I watched on TV, I just didn't have a TV from the mid-70s till 84. I actually accomplished something during those years. |

Location: Texas | You didn't miss much in a show that included a pimp named huggy bear...I think all it did was help ford sell gran torino's.
I did a quick google and it seems that he played a couple ovations...but that guitar seemed the most prevalent.

Probably needed a little counseling from Freud, based on this album cover. But Ovations will do that to you. You know...the dreaded Ovation envy. |

I've purchased some of the boxed sets and surprisingly, his Ovation pops up almost every time they do a scene in Hutch's apartment.
I seem to remember three or four episodes where he plays and sings too... |

Location: Denver | I loved the show. Typical for it's time. Great action, car stunts and hot chicks. I wound up getting a red Torino ( no white stripe) Fun car! Later when I put on a badge I carried a 6 inch Python like Hutch carried in the show but that was just because I love Colt's. I never understood why anybody would carry a six inch in a shoulder holster. Don't you just love Hollywood? |
