Location: Paris/France		Hi,

I'm back from a long week end in Alsace (east of France near Switzerland & Germany) with my friends of the French "Guitar Pickers Association" and I just want to share my emotions with you.
During these 3 days, I've met some great guitar players and I've seen some amazing guitars (Taylor, Martin, Lakewood, Takamine santa fee etc...).
Not only Ovation's but really great instruments.
I've had the privilege to hold in my arms one of the Marcel Dadi's custom made Slothead Adamas.
You can't imagine how much I was proud to hold this unique guitar!!
I've also met Michel Haumont, one of the greatest French professional guitar player and surely one of the kindest.
Michel makes me the honor to play two songs of his new album on my Adamas and he told me that it's a really great sounding guitar.
I was like a kid in front of the christmas tree...

Here is the last pic of this WE with all the group. On this pic, you can see Marcel's Orange slothead Adamas, an Adamas I wide neck in beige (on the rigth), an Adamas 2 in blue (on the left), a collector 2003 and a Folklore.
The guy in red so proud in the back with his Adamas 2 is me...



I wish you all to have the same emotions for the OFC Factory tour in the next days and I really hope to be with you for the next one in 2006.

Jérôme :)

PS: For all the American people on this board. you can be proud of the O's. They are much better than any other guitars for finger style!!
I'm not American but so proud of my O's... ;)

Location: Paris/France		One or two of my friends are playing Banjo.
It's impossible to love Fingers Style without one or two Banjo players...
Marcel Dadi, our Master in France had registred some lp's with his friend Bela Fleck as a guest star!!
Marcel is the only non American guitarist to be honored by the "country hall of fame".
I'm not sure that you really know who was Marcel.
He died in the crash of the TWA flight #800 in 1996 near Long Island.
I'd really like to share my passion of Marcel with all of you that's why I'd like to make you a proposition.
I can can start a chain with the only Marcel's DVD available on the market for the moment.
I've had a discution with my friends during this WE and they all thought that it's a great idea.
So, I will be so happy to send this Original DVD to the first one who want it.
And I really hope that this DVD will travel all around the world.

I've had the privilege to meet Martine (Marcel's sister) and i'm sure she will appreciate this idea.

Jérôme :)

Location: Paris/France		Dear Mike,

The DVD will be on the way to your home tomorrow morning.
You're the first one and I hope you will not be the last one to watch this great DVD.
It's my original copy and I'm so glad to share it will all of you.
Perhaps will this DVD return to France in 1 or 2 years?? Who knows??

Location: Upper Left USA		Tim,
I think it would be Le Banjo instead of the El Banjo from your neck of the woods!

To all Norwesterners. This DVD would make a great showing at the First Semi-Annual Northwest OFC Gathering BBQ and Wine Tasting Event which at the very least will happen at my home sometime near the end of June!

Playing and sharing!

Location: Waxahachie, Tx		Paulmac, sure is great photo lots of character, and characters I'm sure. Since Le Tour de France will begin next month Maybe you could get some advertising for Ovation. Like, when Lance goes riding by you could run along side him with your Adamas. Kinda like that Devil looking character I see quite often during the Tour. Anyhow, great picture maybe we will see you on TV in July.

if someone with some photoshop skills could stick an ADAMAS in Il Diablos hand that would look real good

A little Abalone accent will go a long way.

Location: Waxahachie, Tx		PaulMac, MWoody, you guys might be on to something, As far as a Name I think Adamas-Man is great! Please go for it, maybe even write the name in the street like they do On some the mountain climbs.
Yeah, Ole LA (Lance Armstrong) can doit Jaun more time, He's very motivated $$$$. But I think in one of his interviews this one is for him so, we just might see something phenomenal. Not to mention a new Tour mascot, Adamas-Man!!!!
You might even get to ride with the race director Jean-Marie Leblanc.


Paulmac, I tried to cut your picture out of your group shot and paste it onto the "IL diablo" but it was just to grainy.

Where's a good Llama, when you need one. Now that might be interesting
