Very...interesting fact, I've seen an ad for TRice w/ Ovation.. FRETS I think. I have that CD and never knew that.. I need to listen to it again...I assumed it was his Clarence White Martin or similar since that is what seems to be pictured on the cover..



I also located these items in the "archives" though I cannot actually listen to them since I no longer have a working turntable. uugh! Would be nice to get them(and all my other LPs) into the MP3 player..

Most people are not aware that Tony recorded with the Ovation. They had a trivia question on his web site some time ago, and had people guess which songs he used it on. I can't remember the results, but most of the album was recorded with the Ovation. If anyone has listened to it, you know how good it sounded. I've had the album for many years. It does show Tony with the old Martin, but he uses the Santa Cruz almost exclusively, now.

Location: Maine		The web still amazes me... I found the link mentioned earlier

http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:YnauWxmCstQJ:www.tonyrice.com/...

seems to start with this topic

"On a different note, speaking of questions... I saw an old advertisement recently for Ovation guitars that featured Tony's picture on it playing an Ovation. Got me wondering what the deal with that was? Just curious!

No he's not.
He's counting choruses . . .

I played a barre chord once.
Then I took up jazz.
