Location: Boise, Idaho | Come on, Bobbo. I was looking forward to jammin to the oldies. If you get current, I'll never catch up. I had a 25 year lapse and there wasn't much in there that I'm interested in.
I knew the 07 isn't Engleman. It wasn't on my list, but I just wanted to tell a neighbor what I thought about it. If I could pick one that I'd like to try, it would be the 2078ES and I'd really like to compare it to a 1537. |

If I could pick one that I'd like to try, it would be the 2078ES and I'd really like to compare it to a 1537. A few are fine. But we don't want to get to where we have to wear those Richard Simmons shorts and tank tops. Aside: Hey ... is darkbarguitar coming?
I think the comparison between the the 2078ES and the 1537 are fit and finish and materials similarities more than sound. They're different in almost every other way. But that said, when I played the 2078 I was mightily impressed with the way it came out in total. It would be cool to have one there. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'm all in favor of you not wearing those Richard Simmons shorts and tank top, too, Bobbo. Maybe someday I'll learn some of the electric guitar stuff, but it will probably be oldies when I learn it.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams was in the list. That's pretty new.
Finally, I still have this ridiculous idea that SWMBO will notice that I really like a 2078ES and will tell me that I should get one. She has been bugging me to get a new Boxster instead. |

Nice job, Prof. That's more songs than I'd ever play, but at least most of them are from my era.
Hey, can anyone borrow or bring an 05 or 07 Collectors or a 2078ES? I'd really like to try out an Ovation with an Engleman Spruce top and, as much as everyone raved about the 07s, it seems like someone would have one to bring along. I'm thinking I might like to have an Engleman Spruce Ovation and I haven't bought a guitar in a year. We're still trying to make this trip work - if we do, I'll bring the '05 collectors. |

Just means a few more hours of typing, and I might not be able use double columns on the contents page, which then adds another three or four pages to the book. |

I just thought having the OA listed might bring me (and maybe some others) better recognition on some of these tunes. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | One winter weekend I went through Otto's book and it took the whole weekend to play just the songs that I knew. Actually, there are quite a few that I know that I don't care to play, but there's plenty of material and most everyone is in the same key that I played it, so it must be right. |

And, oh my... the original song didn't help at all in harnessing my raging hormones! This song still brings back many trans-pubescent memories!!!  |

Location: Marlton, NJ | So... as we draw closer, who all is coming from the east coast? And how are you getting there?
It's looking like we would hit the road on the afternoon of the 23rd, when Nicky gets out of school and hopefully arrive sometime Friday afternoon/evening.
I was mapping out possible routes. On the way there, I'm looking at going through West Virginia, Lexington, St. Louis, Kansas City, Lincoln NE and on to Hot Springs. On the way back, probably a more northerly route with hopes of being in Chicago by Tuesday for the Guitars of Fire extravaganza.
Thoughts? |

I'll be taking the scenic route over: Craters of the Moon National Monument, the Grand Tetons, then across central Wyoming. |
