Location: Seymour, Tennessee | The Ovation book says Jim Croce's widow returned Jim's Ovation that survived the plane crash that killed him, repleat with the set list taped to the bowl, to Ovation.
Is it still there by chance?
Just curious if anybody might know............. |

| I think I saw a pic some where of what I thought was the Ovation lobby in Conn.
It had glass cases with old O's in it.
Anybody ever been there? |

| Well, I've known about what happened to Jim's Ovation. The one thing I have wondered about is what happened to Maury's Ovation? I'm assuming that was on the same flight, but I've never heard of what happened to his.

True, one can only assume it was destroyed. I don't mean to drag out this conversation, or make it morbid, but seriously... have you ever tried to "destroy" an Ovation. It's not an easy feat. This particular crash, while tragic and certainly bad enough to cost several people their lives... did not really completely destroy the plane from my recollection. It's conceivable that the instruments survived and maybe kept in remembrance by the family.
Would be interesting to know. I would not assume they were destroyed. |

Location: Seymour, Tennessee | In the link to the restaurant there is an additional link to the official Jim Croce site and Ingrid invites people to ask questions.
I can't get it to work cause of the restrictive stuff on my computer, maybe somebody here could click on the link and ask her? |
