Don't worry Al, I'm not wondering when the next tour dates will be! :)

I thought it would be a neat idea to gather good photos from everyone and put them in sequence of a guitar being built. Since our group was on the Ovation side in the afternoon a lot of the staff was off already. And as Rick Hall pointed out to us Ovation grew into the space, so it's not really a "production line" where fiberglass, wood, abalone, paint go in one side and a guitar comes out the other. There was one employee who graciously stuck around to show us some of the things (the machine that routes the neck attachment). And I took a photo of some work being done that Rick was not talking about, so I'm not even sure what he was doing (!). And I shot up all the film I had before we got to the paint, etc. :rolleyes:

Then we could have a section on the board of a guitar from start to finish...

If I try to organize them I'd probably need someone like Al, Miles, Moody or Paul T. to actually get them in sequence.
:cool:

Paul, that's been the problem with the 2003 Tour photos, and why I changed that whole format. I invisioned a "virtual tour" if you will as well.

If someone wants to take on the task I will send them the CD's. I was thinking the only real way to do it, is to print all of the pictures as at least little 3 x 5's and just start hacking away at it.

For the result to post them I just need a simple text list of Step Number, Description, and photo name. If someone wants to add titles or other info on each photo that's fine. All I need to put it up is the list which could be text, excel spreadsheet or ms access file, and the associated photos and I can have it up in no time at all.

I just never found time to sort through 400 photos.

I'll volunteer and give it a shot. It'll be over the summer when I get to it.

If we are missing and needing any photos, I guess we have to go back and go on a private tour. Just like being a beat writer for a newspaper. If they want to give away another guitar I will be more than happy to take it from them.

Hey, Maybe the other Michael Won (fret # 3) will get it this time.

So for the photos in sequence, do we count the jam sessions in the hotel lobby? :)

I hope so!! Would love to see some of those shots.
Also it would be great to put faces with names once they get the grid up for the group shot.
