| Ohh My God those guitars are beautiful! No doubt these were, and will always be, the very best Instrument Ovation ever made! You guy's enjoy this! I am sure the Factory will! nice event Al! Well done!
I sold my doubleneck Rickenbacker. I may be able to put myself on the list for one of the OFC guiars. Perhaps not as good as an original, but about as close as I will come to owning one of these. (not that anyone actually cares now that I read this but) I thought I would mention how much I appreciate these rare guitars and how lucky you guy's are to own one! Besides I want to be more like Cliff.
Peace! Love! Dope!

Just a little nostalgia, I spent some years from around 1947 til' 1953 farming with a IH Farmall cultivision A, the IH cub was a tiny version of that as I recall. We did a lot of custom combining with an IH combine powered by a 4 cylinder Continental engine towed behind our modified Farmall A (Big wheels, hydraulic seat, tampered governor, etc). When not doing custom work, my brother and I took the Farmall A and worked some local Threshers hauling in sheaves and working our asses off either in the loft forking straw or hauling bags of grain off the discharge into the granaries (straw came out of one end of the thresher and grain out the other at extreme quantities when they got the thing cranking off the big Case tractor power take off), and enjoying ample threshing dinners prepared by the wives of the threshing crews. We worked some udders 7 days a week also as dairying was what we lived off of, no llammas only cows that we entertained with our first attempts at country and bluegrass that we had to play in the barn as our parents were fans of orchestras and jazz.

Thanks for that. I like ALL the "old iron", but I am partial to IH since I own 4 of their garden tractor models.
Back on topic...
Been a major change in plans. I won't be making the trip to the Mothership with #45 this month, but I am going to send it up for the event.
If Rick Hall reads this, please get in touch with Kim. We've talked and he wasn't sure if I should send it as normal or to someone in particular.
Thanks. |

You should fly out to GA, pick up the guitar, rent a car & drive it up to CT (or at least to NJ & ride up w/me) . . .
- 'course you'll have to reverse the proceedure t'get home . . . |
