I have always had the policy of if it come out of a new box i will install your plumbing. With that attitude i moved into supervising. Got out of house's and now running million dollar project. Thank God for my guitar, as when things get tough i will go to my room and play for a hour or two and come back with a smile on my face and a song in my heart.

As this thread has evolved from a technical question about songbooks, to a "Welcome" thread, I am moving it to Chat.

Welcome to Chordie Rick!!

@ricktheplumber, I played an Ovation recently and I believe the neck is much the same. I don't have a problem with the neck. The plastic back is round and I'm round in front and the thing doesn't fit my corpulent body.
Last summer I was sailing my 26 footer alone on Mobile Bay on a peaceful day when a bottle nose dauphin popped his head up almost within an arms reach of me. I started singing "A Pirate Looks At Forty" and he swam right along close in. As I reached the end of the song I was afraid he would swim off so I sang the whole song again. He stayed with me until I paused after the second rendition to think of another song whereupon he sounded and I never saw him again.
Jimmy Buffet rules!

P.S. I jokingly told my family to bury my tuba with me when I croak.
They told me they would incinerate me, pour my ashes down the tuba and throw the whole thing into the bay.
My only problem with that is a good playing tuba would be wasted.

ricktheplumber, I have a Yamaha myself. I like it better than most high dollar guitars I've played. Too many sailing trips in a salty environment killed my under bridge pickup. I now just play acoustic with the Yamaha or mic it if I have to. I have a Gibson ES330 for electric gigs.
I also have an Applause (Ovation copy) acoustic for a boat guitar. With all the laminate and plastic it has stayed together for many years and holds a tune fine. I agree with you about the neck.

Thanks to you all for the welcome. I am glad i have found this place. I am complety self taught witch is good in most way. I have really never played in a band or for people but every now and then run in to some one on the road who plays. I have been traveling the last 16 years for work and i always have my guitar with me. I am always the guy sitting outside my Motel room picking away. I have had the same ovation for 30 years and just put her into retirement. I now am playing an Yamaha with an electric pick up. The neck is wider but i am starting to get used to it.I look forward to figuring out all the neat things on this site.

Welcome to Chordie Rick! Let us know if you need any further help with the songbook... I have a feeling there's quite a few things you could teach quite a few of us! I look forward to seeing you around the forums!
