Answer: Dolly Parton & and G.W. Bush

Heh.
Cliff- I miss Carson; in my (not so) humble opinion, his humor was a bit more subtle and sophisticated than the current crop of late night hosts. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Hats off to Heather and everybody else who can seriously make a living doing what the rest of us choose to do in our spare time either by preference or limitations in our own talent.
The folks who post the majority of comments on these forums have personally met one another, commonly transact business with each other, shared many good times and laughs, and have also encouraged one another through a few tough challenges. We're in this for long haul, so we continuing relationships is important to us. We value collaboration over competition.
This site can be intimidating for new people because while we initially join because of our interest in guitars, Ovation in particular, we stay for other reasons. A lot of the banter appearing in these posts is just tongue and cheek humor between friends. Keeping it light, humorous and engaging is entertaining and what we cherish. Get serious and challenging with somebody in particular, even yourself, you may have to deal with the wrath of the entire clan.
We can't take anybody too seriously here, particularly ourselves. |

Location: Nashville | Ok Guys...Listen to this.........I finally got listed on Rhaspody I had to down load thier Play Engines because the songs were not playing right(I don't know if you guys had that trouble everything sound way off,but I have his CD so I knew something was wrong)
But once the problem was fixed I listened to Jordan Rivers online and compared his Guitar,rock,blues to a few others.........And......
I can tell you this it's more than just his hand speed,he has a touch just like Eric Clapton and the rest of the best in the world.He's that good.I've heard old timers like John Lee Hooker and people said had raw talent,but Jordan Rivers is far beyond that.I know who Robert Johnson is and Hooker and the whole history of blues,but Rivers is also a Rock and Jazz man,and it shows,the man knows guitar leads into the ground and plays so many chords I wouldn't be surpirsed if he plays over 25,000 chords like those chord books,you can tell he's well schooled also in theroy it really stands out.
If you really get a chance to listen to all of Jordan Rivers songs,there's a lot of heart in them....not because they are gospel.Rivers is raw talent that has been schooled veryb well.Ever since the world began man has been improving is art form of music.Rivers just takes it to a very high level.But What I got from his concert,was the fact that this man has fun playing.He can do it all and he knows it.But he doesn't brag or anything,....all I can tell you is this.If you ever get a chance to see his concert go.....forget the gospel part and go see a master have fun.He has fun with the crowd.He is a pure joy to watch.I remember Clapton a few years ago.He was good but played a lot tighter.These days I love listening to Clapton play....and a lot more....because eric has loosened up.He's having fun these past 10 years.And it's a joy to watch eric play.I think you guys know what I am talking about.Jordan Rivers has that.Rivers is not scared to play,he takes what looks like huge chances to you and me.He plays so smooth it with a style that's very strong.He can rattle the best guitar players because he is that good.Yet he never wants to rattle anyone.I think he just tries to play the very best he can and he won't back down at all.If I had to say it...he competes in a way with himself always going for something more.But he's so smooth and that smile and his eyes light the place up.You just have to be there.
Also I'd like to say I am sorry for making people upset here.I just found a new guitar hero of my own I guess.I'm not really into Gosepl music,I went with a friend to a concert.And I was in awe.
Thanks Guys Heather48dd |

Just please be accepting that 100 other people might have 100 different guitar heros that they are just as passionate about.

Location: Tennessee | I appreciate your passion Heather. Thanks for bringing this to the forefront. I really do hope that Jordan is all he is said to be; that would be wonderful for Ovation and it would be wonderful for the music world in general. But forgive me if I want to wait and judge for myself. I would really like to see him live ... do you know if he's going to tour California? |

. . . and about a hundred DIFFERING opinions about ANY particular "hero".
I listened to the tracks, and (personally) thought it sucked big time. My opinion.
The "beauty" of the whole thing is that you can listen to the CD to your DDHeart's Content, and I (fortunately) don't have to . . .
Sorry, but it's true.
(btw; I SAW that, Jeffrey!!! ;-) |

This thread ain't about Jordan Rivers any more...
We (well, I) don't give a flying fig about how good he or any of his followers think he is.
Everybody here has their own guitar heros, and I haven't heard anybody else on this forum try to ram them down everybody else's throats.
Don't you get it? You post stuff that stirs the pot and get stirred up replies. It doesn't matter what you stir the pot with, but that it's been stirred.
You're obviously intelligent, possibly eye candy, and if you're half as passionate about Ovations as you are about J. R, you'll be a welcome addition to this 'club'.
Lets put J.R. to bed and leave him there. You love him - great, we don't - equally great. This thread has been strangely compelling and I want to do something else now.
Anything.
But I know if you keep posting, I (we'll) keep reading. |
