Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Our own esteemed member richardd made me a DVD featuring Ovation lore, including action shots of Ovations on stage, CWK playing with Richie Sambora, interviews with Di'meola and others...and a factory tour!! A lot of fun.
I thought there might be some interest in passing it around much like the Ovation book.
Contact me if interested and I will start a chain.... Email me your address thru OFC. You will avoid my spamblocker doing it this way. |

Im glad you enjoyed it Jeff.
Some may have seen the factory tour but the first part was an old in store promo film with some great footage from the days when mullets roamed the earth. |

Aaron Tippin, Micheal Bolton, Billy Ray Cyrus and (maybe even) Mellissa Etheridge !
Who could ask for more !
They're all good but Billy Ray's reigns supreme. |

Either way, Jeff and/or Richardd, I would like a copy. |

I have a DVD burner, but time will be an issue for me. I few folks have asked to be put on the list, but have not provided addresses. Maybe we can divide and conquer. Paul and Noah have offered to make some copies, if I make a few, get a copy to Paul and Noah with a share of names we can get it out more quickly to folks who want it. |

| Unfortunately everybody here has been home all day waiting to head to Europe tomorrow.
There are deeply diverging views of what constitutes excessive around here today.
It plays like a dream - the only downside is the factory strings are so low tension they could pass for spaghetti. No volume at all. I was a bit surprised - it's not as if a CA is a beginner's guitar is it? Weird choice. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | The OFC DVD's began to trickle out in yesterday's mail.
A few bits and pieces...
We had 28 requests and 26 folks sent addresses. I sent out 12 DVD's yesterday, including two to StephenT and Moody. They will each receive a list of 7 names with addresses to whom they will advance copies they make of the DVD.
It appears that the DVD's (Including the original I received from Richard) play only on computer drives. I could not play the original, nor any copies I made, on my console DVD. Sorry, but I only discovered this after I made the copies.
If you are interested, I can tell you from which of us, you will be receiving your dvd.
A few folks have offered to send some monetary contribution toward expenses and I thank you for that...
...but (and I DON"T SPEAK for either Paul or Stephen) for me, that is not neccesary. Please, consider it a gift.
Folks on my list should be seeing their copy in the mail over the next four or five days... Except those of you who live outside US Borders (and all of you were on my list),it may take a bit more time to reach you.
Please be patient and give Stephen and Paul some breathing room--- they won't be getting their copy for another few days.
:D THANKS AND ENJOY |

Location: Australia | Hey Jeff, I'm sorry the DVD won't play on your player.
I guess it's the Australian zoning that's the problem, although most DVD players here are now sold with world zoning and will play any DVD.
The DVD was made for me by the bass player in my band from old video tapes.
I don't have a DVD burner and I'm technically incompetent. |

No Worries!!!! As much traveling as I have done,I should have thought about it.Truth be told, I never even put it in my console DVD (i watched it from start to finish with earphones on my 15'laptop) until I had finished burning the copies.
I gotta guess most folks on this site have access to Computer with DVD someway..
Thanks a ton for sending it. OFC folks will see it and enjoy it. |

Got the DVD in the mail yesterday. THANKS!!
Popped it into my PC when I got from a gig last night (rather, this morning). Some cool stuff!
Some of the stuff I'd seen before like that Aaron Tippin FactoryTour and some stuff that was on a Japanese promotional video that Master Wong (playadamas) had sent me, but some of the stuff I'd never seen before . . .
Who's the guy with the beard & th' boots??
He pops up alot on these things . . .
FWIW, he's a better "Blues" player'n Sambucca . . .
At least he played with a degree of "finesse", as opposed to just "all over the place" . . .
". . . yeah, the "Fool" plays the blues like MachineGun Kelly . . . . 500 notes to the bar . . . "

Gonna run it through a PAL to NTSC convertor and see if I can complete the process of watching on the big screen! |

I enjoyed the Electric guitar history as well. Some real old guys I'd had never heard of.
Thanks again Richardd!! |
