Location: SW Mintsoda		I guess they couldn't find an Ovation case for it to travel properly in...

...but still, yes, nicely done, and of course Glen's singing and playing is still several notches above most.

Yup. One of the saddest things about Glen's condition is that all those great instruments on which so much great music was made, are now silent.....

Location: Texas		I wouldn't take it too literally. There's a bunch of different guitars in there, (at one point there's even a 12-string.)

I carried my old 70's 1112 around in a generic chipboard case for many years before I joined the OFC (and then bought a "real" Ovation case for it from another member.) The case in the video didn't bother me, it looks like what most people expect a guitar case to look like.

I seriously doubt that they drowned and torched one of Glenn's good guitars, I would assume they used an old junker. (I'm glad they used an Ovation though, it would have looked weird to see a Taylor floating away at the end.) ;-)

Great song, great video, sad story.

Location: Katmandu		I don't know how I feel about scorching an Ovation at the end... Did Glen really play that particular cutaway model? I don't recall it.

 I don't ever recall seeing him play a cutaway Ovation, much less in sunburst.

Adamas cutaways yes, but Ovations, no. I don't remember any sunburst ones either.
