Location: Marlton, NJ | Oh yeah - one more thanks to Woody for the Papoose. It definitely came in handy on this trip. Nicky spent hours playing with it in the car coming and going to the jam. He also learned alot about transposing chords :)
I don't know if you noticed, but the Papoose was the only non-ovation guitar allowed in the group guitar photo - all of the Taks, Taylors and Epiphones were removed prior to the shot. We all agreed however that since this was lovingly customized by a fellow OFC member, that it deserved a place in the shot. You da man! |

He did a fantastic job! Even the finish was "baby butt" smooth and the inlays superb....
....You da man! |

The Papoose is a fun critter isn't it? |

I am soooo bummed I missed it! My wife was feeling really good by the weekend too. So she was really bummed too.
Let me know when you're ready to do it again! Feel like comin' to Florida in the fall? |

But you can catch Nick, not fearing any reapers.

Everyone treated Nicky like gold - included him in everything, helped him out during the songs, encouraged him (especially BegginJM - just awesome). He will never forget this weekend.
As for his performance - I have now watched or heard it at least 100 times...oy! When he was asked if he wanted to play something, I was absolutely floored when he got up - grabbed MusicMishka's T-bolt and went right into Don't Fear The Reaper. It was the best he ever played it.
All in all - it was a long trip which I would do again in a minute.
Thanks again - it's people and events like this that make this site what it is.
CL, let me speak fo all of us if I may, when I say how wonderful it was to look at you as you watched your son playing guitar with all of us...He's a great fella and I know that you're proud of him...and you're right, that is what makes all of this worthwhile...just now my daughter (4 and a half now) looked at the YouTube video and said "Daddy, that boy is playing your snake guitar..." I am amazed at how much she knows about the Ovations (her's is the 82C) and again, thats what makes all of this so wonderful...with all of the negative influence available to them, getting them interested in playing music and appreciating nice instruments...well its just fine and a real blessing! Nicky, I'm proud to have been jammin with ya, young dude! Keep it up!
Miss you guys....let's do it again soon!
Blessings... |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | Brad: glad to hear from ya. I was afraid that tha hills gotcha on the way home. I hope that you and your family are doing well. It was great to meet you. We may need to get a carpool together for the Florida gettogether in the fall. I know of someone who lives in the SE Hotlanta area ;) , might be a good starting point!
Music: my part was simple, you lugging in all of your equipment was hard. My camera takes good pictures, all I have to do is push the button.
Can't wait for the next one! |
