Location: Brisbane Australia | Hi All.
There was a book on Ebay a few months ago that I missed out on about the history of Ovation Guitars. I can't remember the exact title.
I'm sure some of you know what it is and probably have one.
Any idea where I might get one?
Thanks James |

When I'm done with it, it'll be off to Watto in NSW.
Are you there, Grif??? |

Location: New South Wales, Australia | G'day Muzza....it might be easier for you to send it on to James before me as he's just down the road from you.
I'm just about to start work with Australia Post. Delivering large postal articles in the morning using my old station wagon and then jumping on the postie bike and delivering mail in the afternoon. So it doesn't matter if the book takes a few more months to get here.
I haven't worked since February so it's a bit of a relief to be finally doing something. Although I probably won't be playing as much guitar :(
We're only a small village with about 3,000 people so most days the parcels will take me about two hours and the letters are about a four hour job as I only have to do one side of the village. So I should be home most afternoons by the time the kids get home from school.
Might even have enough cash to send Randy some Tim Tams. |
