Thanks Rick, I`ve also got a Maton Country Jumbo CJ-85/12, Guild F-412, Morris B-50 which is a rare Japan only Brazilian Rosewood Martin D-45 copy in 12-string and last week I picked up a new Martin Grand J12-40E Special. The Taylors have the best necks but the new Martin comes pretty close, catch ya.

Rick, thanks for the feedback.  Very interesting about your Grandfather's name being Ocean as well!  A rare name like that shared between two people with so much distance between their births is not something you hear about every day!  Beautiful guitars btw.

Rick,

Thanks for taking the time to listen to and comment on my song "Echoes". Much appreciated!!
I just listened to Peaches and Cream and Rosalie and thoroughly enjoyed them!!! Rosalie reminds me a bit of a Mississippi John Hurt type song actually.
I look forward to hearing more as you add them.

I also have a Taylor 614 CE (I traded in my 355 to get it) and a 410RCE which was a special rosewood edition. I love my Taylors-they are so playable. Though I live in the Albany, NY area now I am originally from Syracuse so I'm a central new yorker also!!!

Jeff

OKAY, YOU GOT ME... SO I HAVE BEEN REMISS, HERE IT IS. . , ! { } & so, forth. I often get a message from Blackberry that has a disclaimer on the bottom about punctuation, spelling and accuracy, I dont tweet, twitter, or text. I am lucky to hit the start program key on the laptop however I love the post from the coffee house gang, I recently discovered a term regarding music , 'FOLKTRONICA' kept me up at night . I look forward to hearing from you, the music is the story ! come one come all Rob English. { ironic last name}

Rick, Thanks for the direction in finding the add music button. I knew I had seen it already. This old brain just couldn't remember where it was.
