I bought my first Ovation in 1975 - a custom balladeer. I was 21.
Did Glenn Campbell have that much affect on us at the time? |

Sad.

I'm in the 46 - 55 group (just) but I'd have a shot at predicting that the 46 - 55 age group (followed closely by the 36 - 45's) is the biggest group. Geez, I wish I'd put a few bucks on it now. |

Location: Berkeley, CA | What happens in 25 or 30 years when the "Ovation Boomers" start checking out??? Maybe they'll do something like those shoes that young(er than me) kids have... where you can pop a wheelie and skate on them.
Hell, maybe they'll even make Ovation sleds.
... Or partner with a burger chain and make a McDamas model. |

But I'm sure we're not the only geniuses in the house...
You make a very serious mistake in assuming that people in charge know what the hell they are doing.

Location: Round Rock, TX | The young O players (like my son) are out trying to get their bands (he's in three) gigs. They're on MySpace checking out who's listening to their songs, etc., etc. They are IM'ing their girlfriends.
They are NOT checking on to a bulletin board to find out what a bunch of guys, most of whom are old enough to be their fathers, are talking about (no matter how cool we know we are). |

We have turned into our parents. Your dad must have been quite a character when he was your age, Dave. Except for our lack of hair, turning all the lights out on people and saying "we made good time" after every trip over 5 miles, my dad and I have no similarities. |
