Location: Fort Worth, Texas | I was out in Arizona a few years ago, working for seven months at a job site in Buckeye. I lived in west Phoenix, didn't know a soul.
I went into this dive of a bar to knock back some cold beers and there was this drop dead gorgeous bartenderess smiling real pretty (this was before I got married...)
After talking for a litte bit, I let her know I was from Texas and of course said "...and everything's bigger in Texas."
Without batting an eye she replies, "Yeah, well I'm from Missouri...." :D |

I see that Cliff showed you who Hugh, Gail and Scot are. Take another look at My OFC Tour 04 photos. There's a photo of my family and Hugh's taken by an ace photographer. Remember?

| I am not sure if hooked is the right term? For me it was like a hammer blow! somewhere around 1979 I stood there staring at all the guitar's hanging, and there it was; an Adamas 1687-7 Like a moth to the flame.
Never looked at a traditional Acoustic guitar the same way after that.
I asked but they wouldn't let me take it down I was young then and obviously didn't look as though I had the money to buy it. So I stood there for a while staring at it in a cloud of Ovation "GAS" Then I snapped out of it and bought a cheap set of Acoustic strings and blew the rest of the day I'd skipped from High school at the beach.
Took me 25 years to get the exact type Ovation I saw back then. Guess I never realy did get over the Ovation GAS they gave me that day? |

Location: New Hampshire | Must have been late 60's, I saw Glenn Campbell on his tv show playing what looked like a guitar but it had a funny round back to it, i just had to find out what he was playing... well I found out it was an Ovation. It sounded great and looked cool.
So for this old guitar player, Glenn campbell sparked my interest in Ovations.
I have a Martin, a Tacoma, Strat.. Jaguar, and just recently walked into a guitar store and saw a 1975 GC 12 string, in beautiful condition, well needless to say I couldnt leave without it.
Once I got it home and really started playing it the Ovation bug started to bite . And it all started 30 years ago..... |
