Musician Jim Lenn will discuss the Connecticut-made Ovation guitar and the role it played during the singer/songwriter development of the 1970s in a presentation at the Milford Public Library on Wednesday, Nov. 8 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Lenn will also be performing some songs from the era that typify the Ovation sound. The Ovation guitar, built in New Hartford, played a significant role in the foundation and flourishing of the singer/songwriter explosion of the late 60s and early 70s music scene. This guitar filled a void created by the advancement of live sound systems and propelled this segment of the music industry to the forefront.
