Re: Discussion of the Week: Is Glen "live" always better?

Randy,
"maybe we don't" is the way to go. The discerning eye sometimes can certainly interfere with simple enjoyment.

Re: Discussion of the Week: Is Glen "live" always better?

"I think you hit the nail with your head Dee. " [/b] I don't think she is that hard headed...but to each their own...lol. Personally, if an artist is gifted, like Glen, as a musician and vocalist, live offers so much more, than the sterile studio versions. The artist has control over deli...

Re: Ovation 1624 (Proto X014)

Dee,
Wayne does own the guitar and I posted his pictures in the original post.
Wayne is hoarding several of Glen's guitars. I know where he lives, but would have to get a passport and probably a snowmobile to attempt to bring them back to their rightful country of origin.

Re: Ovation 1624 (Proto X014)

Thanks Wayne! I can't imagine how that feels to have that guitar, and watch it 44 years ago. The irony is...all of that freakin out by Charlie...all of that R&D by Ovation...Probably around the clock production...and he isn't plugged in. Yeah...it all looks and sounds ad libbed, right from the r...

Re: Mosrite Balladere I, Model 401

Nice find, Wayne...and thanks for sharing that.
Too bad no one ever had the conversation with Semie about his relationship with Glen back then. They HAD to have one. Glen didn't play Mosrites for that long of period of time and he had a slew of them...some with personalized necks.

Re: Can You Identify These Guitars?

I thought someone had posted a question about THIS GUITAR

The broken"f" hole is a good indicator that it is anOscar Schmidt...older model. At one point in time I thought it was a Harmony...but fret markers and the f hole really match up well to the Oscar Schmidt.

Re: Can You Identify These Guitars?

Yes, Mosrite was not known for their acoustics and Semie was a poor acoustic craftsman, but Glen actually played a couple of them.
