Location: puerto vallarta, mexico | last night i giged with my recently aquired 1982-8 collectors edition. it is a beautiful guitar that the whole band has been waiting to see. the band leader said to the crowd, i would like to introduce the newest member of the band, russ' new ovation. lights, sparkling abalone, and crystaline sound from a quick couple of strums brought out a rousing round of applause, and we hadn't even started yet. then craig said "i've been waiting 20 years to hear an ovation for an ovation". we played from 8:30 till midnight switching musicians once in awhle but never took a break. one of the best jam nights at the club ever.
i got allot of help when i was setting up this guitar from this site. thanks, russ |

He was the first to order a blue Ovation. We made it like the 82. This was in 81 We liked it and decided to start the collectors and went with that color as the first one.
I never did hear if he was pist because we used "his" color |

that makes the story i have to go with my 1982-8 that much better, bill. he must have known what color the crowd likes. they applauded mine before i even played a tune (see ovation for an ovation). i'm taking it again tonight!! |
