Location: New Hartford CT | I had to fix myself a drink after reading this. Man...
Howard Ives showed me how to carve necks, a wonderful man, patient and soft spoken. Mark Lamana, always a grin and positive spirit.
I'm breaking out the Millenium and cranking up full analog PA at my warehouse now. That's right. Crown power amps on 10.

Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | ...."Fender, based in Scottsdale, Ariz., announced on April 22 that it would close the New Hartford plant".... ...."Glenn Campbell is a special name. "He's the one who put us on the map," Lamanna said.".... Ironic how Fender announces the plant closing on the birthday of the man who made Ovation famous....

Location: Texas | It is also ironically sad that the guitar company that waltzed into the limelight with Glen, is leaving at the same time Glen no longer can play.  |

The same could be said for the USA. It's like our country has Alzheimers and is no longer a "player" |
