Yeah I have another which I have had about 20 yrs and its great .this one needs the action lowering a little to make it as playable as the other but it sounds good so far .Plus they are nice and light to lug around . I plan to fit a humbucker and some 9 guage strings to make it a little more like an electric hollow body

I picked up an absolutly mint Ovation Applause AE 28 elecro acoustic yesterday for very little money .Came with a Shubb capo and a very nice gig bag . I cant determine the age as Ovation dont list Applause serial numbers on the web page but if my memory serves they were around 1980-90.

STUNNING LYRICS Jim ,one of your best . If I see my friend Pam Johnson ( a local C/W singer ) this week end is it ok to show her this song ,I suspect she would really do it justice.
This is Pam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMPT48dHOf8

Re: Live from Ilkley Band stand (9 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Thanks Phill there is a story about the speakers . My nephew was suposed to provide the PA but he wasnt able to deliver due to family comitments .So I put together a mini system with our studio monitors and a small mixer as there was just 2 of us I felt it would be enough ,each monitor is 70 watts and was enough to cover the small area surrounding the band stand . Best thing about it was the price I paid £20 for the 2 speakers from a charity shop £25 for the mixer from ebay and £25 for the stands from amazon so for just £70 I put together a PA suitable for small bars or garden partys and we had a great gig .

Your humour shines through in your lyric Brian .I hope to have a look at some of your songs again now my health is improving . You need to write some thing about dentistry thats a good subject for a blues song ,and god knows i've suffered recently so something to give me a smile would be good .

Jan the white thing is a Seymour Duncan single coil pick up . It was expensive and disapointing . Ive since changed it for a cheap chinese one which works much better .
