Another concert added.

[Dream Street Rose]

Hanford, CA - October 16

Who might join DSR, Kathy and Kerstin?

DSR :clap: :clap: :clap:

[Claudia]

I guess I could get persuaded...since I plan to visit you guys in sunny California anyway...:biggrin:

[Dream Street Rose]

Okay Claudia,

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help with your California visit. The weather should be wonderful at that time of year. :)


DSR

[Doug]

Hanford, CA - October 16

If that's as close as he gets to Sacramento I'll be there!

[Dream Street Rose]

Doug,

It will probably take you 3 to 3 1/2 hours to drive there. It will take us about 4. Any chance you two can come to the other shows down here? :) How about Humfries? :) :)

DSR

[Claudia]

I have tix for the Agoura Hills concert already and are 'aiming' for San Diego as well. Kerstin and I are planning to visit the Taylor factory down there - better clutching our wallet real tight...It'll be very tempting.

[Jesse Joe]

Claudia & Kerstin, visiting the Taylor Guitar factory and attending some Gordon Lightfoot concerts, "heaven is a place on earth." :)

[Claudia]

Yeah', I tell ya...can it get any better??? It's not that I'm not already owning a beauty made in California but would a second one hurt....? Trying to find an excuse...

I of course have thought about it but with my new job I doubt I could take the time off to do it, but you never know

[podunklander]

lucky Californian Corfidians :)

[Jesse Joe]

A second one wouldn't hurt... ;) I understand Kerstin has a good Taylor, she told me about it in the past.

Trying to find an excuse... If you got the mun have fun. :eek: :rolleyes: :headbang: :)

No mun no fun ! :redface:

[Kerstin]

Hi Claudia,

if you're in CA already you should go to all the concerts over here. Would be a waste otherwise ;)
I'm looking forward to the Taylor factory,too. Will be special to see the place where my guitar was born. I'm secretly hoping they don't sell any over there. It would be too difficult to leave without one otherwise. But I do think Jesse once said that you can never have too many guitars.....so there!

[Dream Street Rose]

Just listed. Erie, PA-6-22-08

DSR

[Dream Street Rose]

Okay Kerstin and Podunklander,

Enough trying to offer what you can do in eachother's backyard. I expect all my sisters to be front and center for all four concerts in CA. If they add more, we will be there too. By the way Sister Pam, that includes you too. :) :) :)

[Dream Street Rose]

podunklander,

I spoke to the powere that be and was told there would be no problem. :)

DSR

[Patti]

That sounds mighty fine DSR. More power to ya.

[Dream Street Rose]

Thank you Patti,

We will be in good shape as long as our frequent flier miles hold out. :)

DSR

[Patti]

K, DSR & we all gotta stay in shape and sometime get over to New Hartford, CT. I was checking out sounds of guitars with my son Levi one day and I loved the sound of an Ovation guitar. Levi told me that it was made of carbon fiber. He told me that carbon fiber was used to make the A380 and the stealth bomber. I asked him what the A380 was and he said it's a passenger jet that's bigger than the 747. He also tells me that some company called Scale Composites uses carbon fiber to make most of their airplanes and that their CEO's name is Burt Rutan. Also carbon fiber is used for wind turbines and professional racing kayaks and paddles, and McLaren Supercars.

[Kerstin]

Hi Patti,

I saw an upright bass made out of carbon fiber on TV once and the guy who tried it said it sounds really good. I'll have to check out that Ovation on the internet. :)

[Doug]

Hi Patti,

<snip> I'll have to check out that Ovation on the internet. :)

Just a quick note here, as long as you're talking about Ovation guitars. Only the back is made of the carbon fiber not the whole guitar. Glen Campbell made them quite popular.

Some kewl history here:

[Jesse Joe]

Doug, you beat me to it. Glen Campbell has been playing Ovation Guitars since well seems forever. And he sure can pick it good.. :)

23 might be better. :) (kiddin')
The sound is important.

[imported_Next_Saturday]

There was one occasion where GL played an ovation guitar:
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=13615

[Patti]

I have a Harmony "S". I got it for Christmas 2006. There was a tag on it that said Dreadnought. I just loved the sound of it when I first heard it. When I checked out the sound of several other guitars in the store, I felt even more happy about the sound of mine. I don't know what kind of an Ovation I tried out, but it sure sounded nice. My guitar has to put up with me practicing. It will be nice to hear it sing someday. I'm very much a beginner and just learning to practice every day. I have small hands with long fingers, and I really don't know yet what guitar neck is supposed to be best for me. I really like the guitar that I have so my hands will just have to get used to it.

[Patti]

That Ovation I took a little strum on was black and had a strong look to it and made me think of heavy metal.

[Dream Street Rose]

Hi Patti,

Glad to see you are here. Any chance you will make it to a concert this year?

DSR

[Patti]

Well, if Gord would take me (yeah, right). I would love to go to all of them, but no money and even if I could afford it, it sure sounds like a hard time for people to get good seats. Probably just not meant to be for me. It's alright.

[Dream Street Rose]

Back to the original thread. :)

Sun 09/28/08 Joliet, IL Rialto Square Theatre

DSR

[Jesse Joe]

Sorry DSR for posting those guitar pics on your thread for new concerts added. :( :redface:

[Dream Street Rose]

Sorry Jesse Joe I wasn't trying to make you feel bad. The education about the carbon fiber guitars was good. Not everyone has heard of this type of guitar. It's okay you can stop crying now. I am not mad at you. LOL :) Some days I am so silly.

Let's get you to a concert. :biggrin:

DSR

[Moosedog]

Yahoooo, Joliet is definitely something I can do! It's a 500 mile drive, but I can also visit all of my friends and family while back "home" in the Chicago area. :)

Vickie

[Dream Street Rose]

Yea Moosedog,

That puts a smile on my face. I am sharing your happiness with you. :) :clap: :clap: :)

DSR

[Moosedog]

Thanks DSR - and thanks for posting about that concert. :) I check the schedule frequently, but they snuck that one past me. Hopefully another one or two will be added in that general vicinity, so I can make the most of my road trip. :)

Vickie

[Dream Street Rose]

I hope so too Vickie. If I find anything you know I will post it. :)

{lol} No DSR you didn't make me feel bad. Gosh I didn't even cried... :biggrin: I think a lot of us somedays are silly, myself for sure. Where's that Kentucky Kerstin, did she move yet. See Im on another topic again... :eek:

Any new concerts added lately ? :) :redface: :whistle: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Jesse,
no I'm not quite in Kentucky yet, just trying to get some work done in the office now and then (not very successfully at this point, too much going on on the Gord Board!)

And of course checking out if I'm able to go to any more concerts before October ;) ;)

[Jesse Joe]

Very good to know Kerstin, it's simply that I had not seen much of you here lately.
:)

[Dream Street Rose]

Hey Kerstin,

You are going. :headbang: :headbang:

DSR

[Kerstin]

Hi jesse,

thanks for noticing :)

Hi Dore,

I guess now that I talked Kathy into the September concerts I really should try to make it myself. It's just going to take some negotiations.

[Dream Street Rose]

Kerstin,

No problem and don't worry. Since you are part of the crew now maybe Gordon will write you a note. We are going as a family like we always do. :) :biggrin: :)

DSR

Really? REALLY? You talked her into it???? And yes you SHOULD Kerstin! And bring Taylor too ;). And you gals would be all set for transportation and a place to stay :).

:clap:

[Jesse Joe]

Well since we are on guitars again, I once owned a twelve string GOYA, cousin Podunklander.

Here is one of the most popular guitar in the world to me & Willie anyway...

Willie Nelson's guitar he named after Roy Rogers horse, {Trigger}...

Wonder if our Gord has signed it ?

[Kerstin]

Oh my goodness. I can't believe that huge hole in that guitar. I think if I ever had a night mare about my Taylor it would look just like that.

Trigger of course was a wonderful looking horse. How did you get from concerts to Trigger again? ;)

[Kerstin]

Really? REALLY? You talked her into it???? And yes you SHOULD Kerstin! And bring Taylor too ;). And you gals would be all set for transportation and a place to stay :).

:clap:

Hi podunklander,
I hope it's going to work out for us. I don't think Taylor can make it, though ;)
Which concerts are you going to? Would be nice to meet up.

[Dream Street Rose]

Kerstin,

You know our Jesse Joe. He just wants to see if I am awake. :biggrin: Taylor said that Hanford, CA is the place to be before Cerritos. I think podunklander might be joining us. October is still a few month away. :)

Willie Nelson named that guitar after Roy Rogers horse Trigger. A lot of performers do that.

I know Canadian rocker Tom Cochrane names his guitars after hockey players . He's got a Gordie Howe aso... :)

[Kerstin]

Hi DSR,
I see now you are making your travel plans with Taylor already! As long as you two don't forget to take me along :) :)
Would be nice to see podunlander in Hanford.

[podunklander]

Hi podunklander,

Cambridge and Northampton :)

[Dream Street Rose]

Okay, here's one more. Who might get to go?

Sat 09/27/08 Kalamazoo, MI James W. Miller Auditorium

DSR

[Kerstin]

Hey DSR,
how do you find those so quickly all the time. Pollstar is usually a day behind you in sending out notices! :)

[Dream Street Rose]

Hi Kerstin,

I guess you have forgotten how good your sister is. :biggrin: Stick with me and you will learn it all. Maybe Gordon calls and tells me. :) A big not to that one. :) :biggrin:

DSR

[Moosedog]

Hmmmm, I'll probably forget about the Joliet show, and hit E. Lansing and Kalamazoo instead - a lot closer to home for me. Then again, if I hit the road early enough the morning after the Kalamazoo show, I can also make the one in Joliet. :)

Vickie

[Dream Street Rose]

Go Moosedog, Go Moosedog now it is my turn to cheer you on. :biggrin:
You know I will tell you to go to as many concerts as you can. You won't be sorry. :)

DSR

[Moosedog]

LOL, thanks DSR! :) I'll decide what to do about September when I see how the March version of my Gordon road trip goes. It's a lot of driving, but will be well worth the effort. :)

Vickie

[Dream Street Rose]

You bet it will well worth the effort. You will not be sorry. Are you counting the days yet? :)

DSR

[Dream Street Rose]

I wasn't sure where to put this. Hope this spot is okay. Just wanted to let anyone interested to know that the tickets at the Fox theater in Hanford, CA are on sale. The concert is not until October 16th but I bought tickets for me and my "Peeps". :)

DSR

[Kerstin]

Thanks DSR,
I knew I could count on you! :)

[Dream Street Rose]

Kerstin,

I am glad I am a good travel agent for you. Let me know if you need anything else. Do you think Gordon will get tired of seeing us all the time? :biggrin: :)

Are you going to the Massey?

[Borderstone]

We want more shows! We want more shows! :biggrin:

I'm still holding out hope for a show here in AZ! Keep us posted Rose. ;)
