Very cool, Stephen.  One of these days I'll be in the audience.  We're doing three concerts this weekend ourselves at Boettcher.  Brad

Well, if size matters you win!
I think it is awesome to play a venue like the Boettcher.

Stephen your audience will 1.Be having a lot more fun and 2. Be dressed much more comfortably. I've always wished for a chance to record in that room!

We'll be there, assuming I can get rid of this headache. Probably be there around 9...

All the good songs we know will be played by then and we will be on the 2nd tier stuff!

Sounds great! Hope the headache passes and you can make it out!

That's how you tell a really good band: how good is their 2nd tier stuff?

So, if an ofc member were, theoretically, interested in maybe purchasing one of these high-end ovations, or possibly even an Adamas, you know, just for argument's sake, where would the members of the forum send this aforementioned hypothetical individual? Do we have a local retailer with whom we prefer to do business? I see that Drum City/Guitarland is a dealer, and I like those guys; bought my Pearl drums from them, but thought their guitar focus was primarily on shredders? Never been to Armani, and I drive by Fred's twice a day but have never even seen the place...

I am all for supporting local shops. If there isn't one in your area, you cannot go wrong ordering through Al at lostartvintage. AlPep of course is one of the owners of this site, but more importantly he is a great guy to do business with. There is a reason he is the world's #1 Adamas dealer - he's gotten all of us hooked and we keep going back to him for our fix!

Thanks, Fly...I was aware that Al is a salesman, and that he does a lot with special orders, and I would certainly consider keeping it within the family, so to speak; the reason for the post is, I don't have a lot of experience with any Ovations save my 40th reissue and the Celebritys at GC, and a couple of older ones I have seen in pawn shops over the years. What I want as much as anything is a place to go where I can fondle them a bit. Maybe next week Professor Brad will hook me up with some of his personal guitars, but once again, I have no idea what he has or if he even has anything that would fall within my budget.

You can come over and check out my meager collection.

I have mostly Adamas (twin baritones and OFC2 and #57), along with an '84 collectors (that many think of as one of...if not the best...of the collector series)....and an Ovation Mandocello and a few woodboxes from other builders.

I don't know what your budget is gonna be but they span the under $1000 to over that with some change range.

Well, dwg preacher, my list of Ovations and Adamas models are a bit eclectic, leaning toward SSBs and customs, but you're welcome to come hear and play what I have. Between Stephen and me, we have a lot of the good stuff covered.

Since I have this history book, and I've been thinking about how to add my own statement to the letters, cards, pics, etc. I thought it might be cool to get a group of us together with our guitars and take a Mile High picture to put in it. How many locals would be able to make it? Maybe on a Saturday afternoon at the Capitol, or Civic Center park?

Depending on the date, I could probably swing it.
Once a time and place is decided, I can call Mark and a few others that don't check in very often.

I just checked my schedule and I have a Christmas party that day that starts at 2 until whenever so probably best bet is after the first of the year like you mentioned.

Keep trying and we can make something happen!

I'm looking forward to being in the mountains permanently, but it will be four more years. Vacations only until then.

Estes Park is an awesome little town. Wish I could live up there full time.

Estes Park had a little ski area that was one of the first places I skied. Heavenly Valley?? maybe. We also went through there on our honeymoon in 1977.

I'm more partial to Cucharra, or even Lake City. Estes Park is too close to the city, too touristy for me.

And it's pretty cool to see a whole herd of elk in the middle of town in springtime too.
