Location: atlanta | Wayne and Cliff, thanks for the kind words. And thanks to all of you who requested a copy of her CD. I just found out that her label will release her remastered CD in early April, and that it will include CD-ROM data including a video of Kaki playing her guitar.
Many of you have expressed an interest in how the problem of her stolen guitar turned out. Well, let me tell you how GREAT the Ovation Company really is. They have made a replacement for her, and she is back in business. Her first gig with the new instrument was for a charity event last week at the Bottom Line in NYC.
I still don't have much detail on who was involved and how it all happened, but basically she feels that some sort of miracle has occurred. And for all I know, people at the factory knew something about the situation from looking at the postings on this wonderful fan club website which Miles and Al created last year.
The guitar that was stolen was an "old" Adamas II 1581-7 (deep bowl cutaway, single epaulet, two knob). The Ovation Company made her a modern Adamas II 1581-7 (deep bowl cutaway, dual epaulets, modern electronics). She says it is virtually identical to the one she had.
What all this says to me is that the company really cares about the young artists who are out there on stage playing their guitars.
As soon as I get a digital picture suitable for posting, I'll upload it into the Members Gallery.

Btw, I also received a copy of her cd (thanks David)- simply amazing! It's awesome to hear that Ovation was able to come through for her like that! |

Location: Tennessee | Great news, Popcritic! There's nothing better than knowing that there are fine people behind a fine company. We will to be sure to express our appreciation for the effort the company made during our factory visit in March.
Please keep us posted when the release happens. And tell Kaki there are 1000 Ovation fans lined up to support her CD. |

Am I too late to submit something?
(I know, I know, I know!)
It's just that my girlfriend's out West on business and I now have free range to turn our apartment's kitchen into a makeshift studio for an extended amount of time undisturbed.
If I'm too late, no prob.
Just lemme know. |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | If it's not too late, my son now has a digital recording setup and I might be able to get him to work on one of his original songs with my Viper and maybe some other Ovations that I can use. He's using my computer on his work so he owes me.

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Watcha got in mind. Full online sessions, or just contributing to a common project via the internet? I have done the later with bands. Very handy, one person send a riff, the next adds to it etc.. etc.. |

We should be ok, but if you a get a moment, go ahead and send another release form for the new tune just in case.
