Location: Paris/France | The FD-14 and the Adamas II are so different but the greatest difference is the sound.
I've never heard an Ovation with such a "wood" sound!! So warm and so sweet.
I've played on that guitar more than 30 minutes (plugged in) and it was so easy.
When I started to play, I was a little bit surprised by the 12 frets neck and I had lost my marks but with some practice, there's no problem.
There was 4 Adamas II and each one have a different sound.
The only thing that they shares is the amazing comfort of their necks and the incredible projection of the sound.
I was so sad to leave all these beauties at the end of the day...
Antoine told us today a nice story.
Yesterday, when he was on the way to his house in the south of France, he saw a special car on a parking.
He takes a photo and the girl who own that car was amazed to see a guy shooting its car... :eek:
Look at the photo!!
It was a sign isn't it??? :D :D

That is just weird.
I think Tuppy being at the gathering with a Uke has unleashed some sort of cosmic karmic neo-energy! |

Seriously, having a 47RI and a ukulele in the same place at the same time is like the PLUS and MINUS 3 sigma of the guitar distribution.

Tuppy, best to leave that kind of numbers to us Engineering types. We can lie the best with 'em! |

Location: Paris/France | Hi,
Of course we've made a movie of this amazing week end.
My friend Cyril has made a 30 mn DVD and a "trailer"...
FRENCH GATHERING TRAILER
As you can see, we don't have "coconut bra" but we're also crazy!!! :D
Dave, the DVD is on the way to Arizona since last week with some extras. ;)
Feel free to make copies if you want.
Your Bruce Sprinsteen song's performance on Uke is really incredible...

Location: Waxahachie, Tx | J, Fantastic, You guys and your gals looked like, you had good time. Dave, looks right at home. Paulmac, if I did not know, You were in France I'd have thought the setting was right here. It just goes to show even though we speak a different language, our homes are in different countries, and we are raised in different cultures we have so much more in common than we realize. Viva Le Tour!! |

Texbaz, thanks for these nice words and I agree with you.
We have more to share than we could imagine.
Especially with some friends, a BBQ, good wines, some good foods, Ovation guitars and a very good Uke player of course!!! ;)

Three years running now, Moody starts calling me in early January. "Dave, you gotta come. You need to be here. PLEASE? I'll drive 5 hour to Phoenix and pick you up..."
Dave
PS - I played the same song on Jerome's DVD as I did on Le Tour '06 DVD, so y'all are gonna think I only know one song. Well, that might be true but it's still 1/2 a song more than Moody knows. Jeez, how many times can one person play the 1st verse of GOMM??? |

So what's with the Gov. They shut down the beaches and casinos? What the hell is up with that? Yeah let's close the only money making gigs we've got going. Sometimes I do actually miss the place.
