| Here I am, playing Patch's Patriot:
Here are me and my newest addition, the 2002 Collector's:
Hey, these aren't sky photos, but they're okay:
I had a really good experience dealing with Patch. I would not hesitate to buy anything from him again.
Today, I took to the studio where I take my lessons. My teacher and another teacher played this guitar. It made me think of a family reunion -- a lot of times babies seem to get passed around at family reunions!
BTW, much to my embarrassment, just realized I need to change the date on my camera!

I have a feeling that Ovations are like Lay's Potato chips -- you can't have just one!

There are too many here that took that first 'taste' and came back for many more!
When Patch listed that one, I commented that I saw lava flow. What a beaut!
Congrats and now wear it out!  |

For the first time in years, I had to remove a guitar from my signature without knowing what the replacement (replacements?  ) might be. But I'm schemin'....yes I am.  |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Oh Michelle, I am so happy for you! You waited so long and looked so hard, and now it's finally here. I think the best part of getting a new guitar is the inspiration it provides. As easy as Ovations are to play, here's hoping you play so much your fingers get sore! (But it's a GOOD kind of pain! ) ;) |

Go HERE and take a look at the 1281 Preacher 6er. It's going on the market shortly. I'm sure we can work something out.
Got it from Glenn and it's in AWESOME condition. Since I got the 1283 PD, this one can go to someone who will play it more than I. |

The neck is so comfortable that I actually really look forward to picking up the guitar again!
I've wanted an Ovation for a long time, but it was when I purchased the Jim Croce DVD and heard "Lover's Cross" that the itch for Ovations got really bad!

| Rich, thanks for the tabs! I looked at another site and they didn't have "The Hard Way Every Time", another song of Jim's I really admire.

Location: Boise, Idaho | I never found a good tab for Hard Way. I learned it by watching the dvd. The recording starts with a D capoed at the second fret. The dvd is done without the capo. D, Bm, F#m?, G. I'll show you sometime.
One of the sort of frustrating things about Croce songs is that Maury's part often blends in so well I can't separate it out. |

What I love about Maury's playing is that he did blend so well with Jim's playing. I have heard that most people don't realize that there are actually two guitars on Jim's songs.

I was practicing guitar up until a few minutes ago. We had a really bad rainstorm followed by humidity. My fingers keep sticking together.
I was kind of hesitant in sharing the pictures of me. I guess it is because I'm somewhat self conscious about being heavy and all. But I just had to show that Patriot guitar. What a beautiful guitar that is!
I'm still working on "Rhymes and Reasons" and "Back Home Again" by John Denver. I still can't get over how much easier it is for me to play those songs using the Ovation.

Anita Sounds like it is a beautiful guitar. I think Jim Croce had tobacco sunburst balladeer?
Why oh why didn't Jim have an Ovation signature guitar? I know that Martin issued one with his name on it.

Michelle He played a 1617 Legend. At the time he was playing Ovations there was only one signature model. Damned if I know why. Everybody was playing Ovations back then.... |

All I know is that the Gibby and Martins he used on the performances featured on his DVD sounded like crap compared to the Ovations!
