Iffy, go back to being a crotchety redneck old fart. You're confusing me. |

Location: Guitar Town USA | last post. sorry i got in the middle of your scene. this was my fault for letting my personal passions get in the mix. i was told you all wanted some artist who play ovations to come check it out. this is why its a bad idea. we don't see things the same. i made the mistake of assuming people here would want to be socially aware. my mistake. i know now i probably don't have too many people here who listen to me. that's ok. i touch people where and when i can. i have been to all of the guitar factories i stated and i know they are very aware of their social responsibility to people and the environment when they build guitars. in fact they take pride in it. and yes i have plenty of 'gits'. what surprises me though is that i make a general statement to be aware, but then i am personally attacked. and made fun of. again and again. for an opinion. not cool. like i said, this is for sure not a place for me ... i stuck my toe in the water but it's not to my liking. but it's life's adventures like these that keep my music relevant. peace. |

Location: Utah | Some guy that made helicopters had a slowdown in his business. If it weren't for his greed, he never would have invented the round back.
So, greed is good. Unbridled greed is bad, but then so is unbridled eating.
If we thought too deeply about the state of the world and humanity, we'd be too depressed to live. Or we'd be living in huts in the woods writing our manifestos.
All of us here, though, do live charmed lives in many ways. Blessed to live in a time and place where we can enjoy luxuries that we take for granted, like air conditioning and safe water. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | My daughter is an admitted tree hugger. When she went to buy her first guitar, her tree hugger friends convinced her that she shouldn't buy a guitar with a plastic back guitar because plastic increased our dependance of foreign oil or contributed to the ozone layer or something like that. When I asked her about the extra trees that were cut to make the back and sides of her Ibanez, she didn't have a response. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | If I didn't have a surplus of strings, I'd have gone for it. I looked at Rogues when I was looking for a travel guitar and they aren't bad. Nice gift for an aspiring player, especially if they are aspiring to inherit one of your Ovations. |
