Went and saw Dave Mason in Philly last night. His rhythm player played an Ovation Legend, 1982, deep bowl. Got a chance to talk wiht him after the show, since it was in a small venue. Dave Mason's playing was as sharp as ever, played a RKS, guitar, some line that he is a partner in. His guitar looked like a shiny piece of furniture with humbuckers. For you Traffic, and Dave Mason fans, he's touring and his show will not dissapoint.

The brother of one of my best friends is Mason's bass player and road manager.

The reason I first bought an Ovation is because I saw Dave Mason (and his sideman Jim Krueger) playing them at shows I went to see.

I also was told that it was Dave Mason that played an Ovation 12 on Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower".

Midnight Special, Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, what great live shows. I wish I could find some of those concerts on DVD. I guess music videos kinda ruined it.

The pre-cursor was a show called "In Concert".
GREAT show!
Had nothing but good concert footage - sans the fat, bloated, corporate jagoff pontificating between acts . . . .

In Concert was the first place you could actually see live concerts on TV. Mid 70's, pre MTV.

Okay, well it's KIND OF an "OvationSighting" :rolleyes: :



Jeanette was in the AutoParts store, saw this and picked it up, thinking I'd get a laugh out of it . . .

I'm tempted to send a scathing e-mail to their "designer" on the fine art of CHOOSING a "soundhole configuration"! . . .

It's an obvious clone and a pretty bad one at that. Not even sure you could write a letter for this one. Just look at the headstock. It's all wrong. Could this be a SSSSSSSB style.
