Location: Texas | Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself. I love Ovations and have owned one since about 1981. I had stopped playing for about 10 years due to intense school, building a house, getting married, new little girl, you get the idea. Anyway, I started playing again about six months ago and realized how much I missed it (and forgot). So that's my story in a nut shell. I look forward to talking to everyone and sharing my stuff as well as learning from others. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Welcome to the board. Your story sounds all too familiar, give or take a decade or two.
You will find much to take in. TRy the search and gallery features!
You are part of a "mess" of Texans on this board. More'n likely they'll drop in soon!
Peace |

Location: Warren,Pa. | Welcome, mellow1! I suspect lots of us have similar stories about putting down our guitars for a long time to tend to more serious life matters. Glad you're back and on this board. I know you're far away, but consider the '05 Factory tour next year. We had a blast! Oh...by the way...You and Bill have something in common: occupation - yep. John <>{ |

You do know you have to be certifiably deranged to belong to the Ovation Fan Club, don't you? We'll be checking your certification papers soon. |

Your story is quite common. I learned to play in 1970, gave up during college, tried again for a while after college, gave up again, and took it up again last year.

I think W2 is misleading you...he meant to write:
We're all nuts here.
:p
Welcome!
EDIT:
And that's what I get for not reading the whole thread first. Someone will mod me 'redundant' now, I suppose. :) |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | Welcome from your neighbor, New Mexico, we generally try to keep Texans either spending money or incarcerated for vagrancy. Carrying an Ovation should make you acceptable if you come to visit, as long as you don't go into a restaurant and shout "Doesn't anybody here speak American so's I can get a hamburger?" this usually will lead to the line in the song "I heard Jose say, You're in trouble plenty."
PS it is hard to find a gringo talker in the best joints.
Welcome amigo
