Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Last night at bluegrass, a new fellow came, packing a 60's Martin that was strung with steel cabling and running rough-shod over everyone else's leads.
He ended up sitting next to me, and happened to glance over to see what I was playing. "Oh, an Ovation...they make a nice little guitar..." I was playing my Tornado, and....putting it mildly, I was not amused. So, I carefully bided my time.
Having left my mandolin home, I borrowed his for one song, and he asked if I would mind if he tried the Tornado. "Of course not," said with the sweetest of inflections.
He started playing Jazzey, and his expression worked its way through curiosity through amazement through to solid respect. So much for, "nice little guitar." :D ;) :D
