I watched that last night. Actually, Glen's playing a Deluxe Balladeer. I'm guessing that it's the one he played in the movie Norwood and that now resides in the CMHF. Too bad he didn't put fresh strings on it. Wonder why he was also still playing his signature Mosrite?

Ooops... sorry for the mis-info.

I love those old video clips. Seeing Campbell like that reminds me why I started playing guitars (and specifically Ovations) in the first place.....

We have that in common moody.
His playing really set the bar high for me.
The only way I've ever been able to come close involves trickery.

That's got to be the oldest TV clip I've seen of Campbell. The Good Time hour was the first I'd ever seen him live before that. The Mosrite sounded better, but not by much.

It's interesting that if the GC Deluxe Balladeers were actually available in November, why wasn't he of all people, playing one before Jan 29, '69?

Steve, I assume you mean the earliest live clip of Glen playing an Ovation. There are tons of earlier TV appearances on YouTube.

Glen's in the following clip too, but one of Bing's kids is playing the O. He did a great job too. Better fingerpicking than I can do.

To answer my own question as well as Paul's, this Bing Crosby Christmas was a yearly tradition and, unlike a weekly TV series, was probably taped at least a month or two before the actual telecast. Glen would have been in a transitional period between Moserite and Ovation about this time, therefore no signature Ovation model and still toting the old Moserite around.

Awesome. It's funny: with so much BAD rock guitar playing at the time it was easy to overlook what a monster GC was. No pretension either, just warmth and style.
