Location: Chicago		Here's a "meditation" I improvised on my 1117 (1974 Legend) recorded with an AKG C4000B mic. I like the gritty "reality" of the AKG... It captures the Ovation sound. I've had a rough year, so this is fitting mood...

Wish I had a mic that would even come close to the AKG, but can't afford anything. I was going to say I would just love to sit down and play some music with you, but after this, I don't think I could keep up.
Great job brother, I really enjoyed this a lot

Location: Chicago		Gracias! The tuning I use (e a d g c f) offers some nice notes on the open strings that help inspire new ideas. The guitar sounds a bit different, too, when tuned in perfect fourths. The tune "Black Adamas" illustrates what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8wdKrVAQk4

Location: Chicago		Not sure this is familiar enough, but here is Tony Williams' ballad "Pee Wee" (from Miles D's "Sorcerer" LP) also on the 1117 to AKG:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyCK434AJiE&feature=plcp
