Location: Upper Left USA | I would just like to express my joy and thanks for the ever increasing number of OFC Members I am running into on these pages that show their joy for playing their instruments in their church! I keep seeing some very common things that I can relate to and it brings me encouragement.
I too "took a break" and rediscovered my love for music and Ovations and get to express myself in a way and arena I never thought could happen. I have been blessed and continue to be blessed by many of you.
No response required - you all know who you are and who the glory goes to! |

Location: Warren,Pa. | I've been wanting to start a thread like this for a while! I had a great time on the factory tour, but even though I really love my Ovations I felt a little lonely for fellowship in the crowd. The guitars are really an incidental thing. The primary thing is, I'm a worshipper! I just think it's so cool that I've been blessed with these beautiful Ovations to do it with.(I suppose the other guitar player thinks HE'S been blessed with his Taylor. Some people are just plain misguided.) Anyway, <>{.

Friends don't let friends buy Taylors or go to Hell! Kinda catchy.
John, where are you in the group picture?
May I plagerize the Fish? Hadn't seen that one before. |

Location: Warren,Pa. | It's interesting, this Custom Legend thing in a worship setting. I wanted mine I think because I had seen Guild flame maple 12 strings and Gibsons and Taylors and the like, and thought "Ovations can be just as stunning!" Folks do comment,and I think I'm cultivating a lot of lifetime Ovation fans among the teens who I spend lots of time with. <>{ John.

Al, If you're going to include Wiccans you should also include athiests, or there'll be a whole bunch of us pissed at you. |

Now that Easter is over, lets get together on a Sunday morning and terroize my church with a guest guitarist. I'll send you some music if you like. Or if you need extra strings at your place, let me know.
