Huge Fender stand with sections for Guild, Gretsch, Jackson.
Not an O in sight. I asked the guy and he said he thought they were in the acoustic hall. (So why were the Guilds and the Fender acoustics on the main stand?)
No Os in the acoustic hall either.

I used to moan each year about the old distributor but at least he usually had a handful of Os on display.
Really pathetic given that only Marshall, Yamaha and Roland had stands as big as Fender.

Ovations are now the official guitar of the afterlife. You suffer now. Defer life and music while in the flesh. BUT WHEN YOU DIE you shall be vouchsafed possession of SEVEN virign Ovations. Paradise takes care of all injustices and difficulties of reality!

Breathless anticipation. Of your arrival. People are already camping out on the streets hoping for a glimpse as you pass.....

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.... every knows London is not in a "state".
It's in the Province of Ontario and lies 'bout half way between here and Toronto.

. . . and in Connecticut, there's a NEW London (minus all that pesky "history") . . .


I've noticed that over HERE we call 'em "booths",
OverThere it's either "stands" or "stalls" . . .

How's it a booth if it's about a half acre in size with no walls?

Don't know the answer to that, but the staff are called Wankers.
