Joined: February 2005 Posts: 112 Location: WV | Back in my younger days sometime in the 70's I worked Security one summer for DeCesaer Engler Productions out of Pittsburgh. Wound up travelling with Joe and The James Gang to 3 or 4 shows. Man what a party :D Also learned how to unload and set up a baby grand piano by myself. And my parents thought I wasting my time ;) | ||

I was listening to Stern here at work when Joe was on, and could tell on the radio that he was playing an Ovation. . just by "the Sssssound". Not his, tho. Guitar belongs to Fred Norris from the show. I remember Fred playing an Ovation some many years ago on the show, and wondered if he still did. Good to know he does. . . . . wonder if he knows about this place?? . . . Yes, Joe Walsh DID in fact spend his college (KentState) and early adult(?) years in Cleveland. But, . . his early years up thru HighSchool . . . Upper Montclair, New Jersey, thank you. Anybody got that pic? | ||

Joined: February 2005 Posts: 95 Location: central nj | Jersey Joe....What a legacy!! Saw him twice with the Eagles 1976 1979, would have been nice to see his solo tour. Day late, dollar short when you are 16 years of age. Saw .38 Specail last year and when it came to the acoustic songs, out comes an Ovation 12 string. Sounded like a harpsichord that would sustain forever. Ovation gets a bad rap, but when it gets down to brass tacks, the instruments are durable as well as soundind outstanding. As far as all the club members are concerned, "WE KNOW WE HAVE GREAT QUALITY INSTRUMENTS!! | ||

Joined: March 2002 Posts: 14842 Location: NJ | Saw the Eagles for the first time in '77 at probably their absolute peak . . . "Hotel California" was just coming out. I had fairly high seats up in the arena, but it did offer a very good view of the stage/backstage area. The backstage really just consisted of a "boneyard" of guitars - a big, wide-open area of floor space behind the speaker stax of various guitars on stands and 3-4 techs each rotating guitars from the stands to the players on stage over the course of the night. Through my binoculars, I counted all of the electrics, acoustics, 6's, 12's, basses and double-necks waiting backstage . . grand total of FIFTY-THREE! . . and at the end of the night, just about every ONE had been played!!! Ah!!! the heady days of fledgling CorporateRock!! The "warm-up" that night was some guy that was just STARTING to get a modicum of some FM airplay of his first successful release . . . Some guy named Buffett. . . . wonder whatever became of him . . . | ||

Joined: March 2002 Posts: 15682 Location: SoCal | Buffett was out here last night. Great review in the local paper. Evidently, he's still thrilled to death that he still has his summer job of 35 years. By the way, for any pirates out there pushing 50, I heartily reccommend his book, "A Pirate Looks At 50". Not a novel. I'll bet Al hates this posting. | ||
