Location: south east Michigan | Hello Phil!
Come on over this way and we can make plans for you to cross the border here at the ferry in Algonac. Or maybe in the dead of night we can sneak across in and 18', purple metal-flake finish bass boat.
We're very familiar with Canadians around here. |

Location: GA USA | Waskel said that the first time he went, he didn't even take a guitar. I was thinking that none of you hoity-toity collectors would be interested in playing my Balladeer Special or $100 uke, so I am considering bringing the Demon Deacon since it's an oddity (Sam says it has the thinnest neck of any Ovation he's ever seen), and grabbing what's handy for playing. Is that crossing any lines? |

kazoo - got one (actually, it's an Ian Anderson "Rubbing Elbows" autographed model).
juice harp - actually's it's "Jew's Harp" (or to be pc, a "Jaw Harp") - got one.
recorder - got one (an alto)
along with two "C" concert flutes (one's mine, one' Jeanette's), a bamboo Chinese flute (requires a piece of dampened rice paper to act as a "reed"), various pennywhistles, sundry wooden/pottery/bamboo flutes, the ever-popular flutophone(remember those??) and various bongoes, darbukas, & hand percussion (BigThanks to MasterTempleman for the all-wood bongo addition last Sept.).
Whatever'll make noise . . . . .
(Temp . . . got any leads on a tamboura?? . . . :-) |

Location: closely held secret | I'm with Dave, Jas. There's no 'uncool' Ovation you could bring! Even if you think of it as 'just your old Balladeer Special' there will be at least 20 people there who've never played one. It will get passed around.
Ukes? Sure, bring em! If it's not raining we can get a cricket game going on the lawn, we'll need bats! :cool:

I second that. Some of the "common" instruments were the ones that were special to several members. It was a pleasure to rotate though the offerings. Didn't play my own very often.
My favorite one was an unfinished instrument that would have been passed over if looks were the main factor. |

Location: south east Michigan | Year 1...I took my AD-II and picked up my 35 year old Balladeer from the factory where it had a neck re-set.
Year 2.. I took the AD-II, Breadwinner, & Uke.
This year... Probably just the UTE and the UKE.
I got a real kick watching Paul T put my Breadwinner through its paces. It might even make the Wabbit's DVD production.

When you finally meet most of us at the tour it's going to be like Caricature Season. I know that some of my pictures may have helped you in the past but that will be nothing compared to meeting alot of us in person. |
