Every time I watch this, brings back the reason why I love that Ovation tone............so BIG! in a concert hall.........and so cool....

just 2 guitars, a 12 and a 6 string and 2 great voices...

that retro folk.............simple and powerful...............I love it........

YES!!! I totally agree, that IS the sound…

…and probably my favorite of many, many great Dave Mason songs… I used to play that song, I think I need to revisit that one…

Is that a Pacemaker he's playing?

Thanks for posting that one, it's excellent!

Nothing better than the O sound. That's what I play in concert... Nothing better.

Pacemaker 12...One of the best guitars for vocal accompaniment ever made...Dave Mason used one for years...I used my -4 in every gig for nearly 12 years: I am really glad to have one back in my arsenal (now a -1)...Acoustically as well it's still a monster...12 fret 12 string...what a classic...

Dave, just another Cameo appearance from the former gas station worker...
