Indeed. I play just about anything with strings, tuned either in fourths or fifths (mostly guitar, bass or double cello). Been playing a lot of acoustic guitar lately, mostly on my Ebony and Sitka Goodall:
What kind of amp did you pick up?
44 years. Still learning.

Just piano...lol
I have taken some guitar lessons.

How much did you get for it, 50 bucks? Depending on condition, Glen Campbell Ovations can had for anywhere between 600 - 3000 dollars.I took lessons when I was a kid. Was never very good. My Dad worked at Kaman Aircraft - they owned Ovation. Got a sweet deal on an Ovation each for my brother and I.
I pawned mine in San Diego when I was stationed out there as an 18 year old kid. That was dumb. That thing would be worth some money today. It was the Glen Campbell model.

I have a 1978 Ovation Custom Balladeer that I learned to play on and has been to Japan and back a few times. I play mostly finger-style country blues with some modern stuff thrown in.
I recently bought an Epiphone Les Paul but I don't play it nearly as much as the acoustic.
I WAS gonna' pawn mine but decided against it. Glad I did. It's not the best guitar for finger pickin' but I've "grown" into it and it's real comfortable to play.How much did you get for it, 50 bucks?

It was in great condition. It was a 1974 model - sold in 77. That's probably all I got for it ($50) being young, stupid and in need of money. My brother's was a standard balladeer. He took it to college and it probably met the same fate. Where in Japan were you? I lived in Sasebo for a few years....

From 94-97 I lived in the Saitama area just outside Yokota AB.
You ever go to the "Chicken Shack"? I first went in 1983 when I was stationed at Yokota, lot's of great bands go through there.I WAS gonna' pawn mine but decided against it. Glad I did.

You and I were there at the exact same time - I visited Yokota a couple of times. Didn't even feel like you were in Japan on base! Every luxury of the States was there. Hell, we didn't get a MacDonald's until 95!!

In the mid 90's there was this one Japanese guy who was a total Ritchie Blackmore disciple and fronted a Deep Purple/Rainbow cover band that I went to see everytime he played there. Real nice guy and one of the few Japanese that would talk to me like a regular guy and not treat me like a foreigner. He was a cram school instructor in Saitama for the longest time.
Haha! Did she take you to one of them Love Motels?You ever go to the "Chicken Shack"?

Never made it off base for liberty in Yokota. I was there for a couple of meetings only, stayed in the Q. I remember the first time there, I flew into Narita (would that be the airport) - regardless, I took the subway from the airport to Yokota. Got lost. It was rush hour. Everything was in kanji. I was beginning to panic. A Japanese girl sitting across from me says to me in perfect English, "You're lost huh."
She saved the day!

Japanese girls can be the most forward AND the most classy women on the planet. They may not say anything, but they'll put themselves in front of you, they'll just get in your way so that you HAVE to acknowledge them.
The trains are good places to meet them; "Is this where you get off? Wanna' go eat somewhere?".
