Once she called me and whispered her name...

...it was inevitable that we would get together.

Purchased early this afternoon at The Starving Musician; Flame is an Ovation CC48, a little bit quieter and sweeter than her sister Ruby. Yeah, I know, the decorations are really leaves.

Thanks to Colleen for giving me permission, and to the Younger Daughter for giving me an excuse -- she found our borrowed Applause, which has a deeper body, to be quite awkward to play. In the end I ended up spending about the same on Flame as I had on chaoswolf's guitar Cindy, so things have a way of working out.

I'm something of a pushover when it comes to guitars; I looked longingly at a gorgeous, sweet-sounding Martin 12-string at Gryphon yesterday, and an Ovation bass at Guitar Showcase this morning. But none of them whispered their names to me.

Is this one Emmy's now?

[mdlbear]

Hell, no! Flame's mine. Emmy gets Ruby.

[chaoswolf]

Thought I'd ask.

[mdlbear]

No problem.

The decorations are REALLY decorations

If you want to interpret a pattern of pigment as flame, go for it.
(Ok, I'm being either pedantic or geeky. Everyone needs a hobby)

They're actually very thin carved wood, laid over the soundboard, and they're very clearly leaves when seen up close. They look enough like flames from a distance that it doesn't really matter.

Hi! Did we meet at Conflikt last year? (You may have noticed that I'm bad connecting names and faces.)

[shadowe_wraithe]

No worries, I am also bad with names and such...*smiles*

We first met at WesterCon in Seattle...plus, way back when, I was the crazy lady who Waifed Leslie Fish up to VikingCon...I met Chaos way back then whilst she was staying with Steve Dixon and family.

We spent some time chatting in the lobby at WesterCon, you and Mama Bear, along with me, my hubby and our boy, also nicknamed Chaos.

We lost a daughter as well, and when Wings was sung, I nearly lost it at the filksing...


Love, Hugs and BLessings,
