Otis lives in Indianapolis.
He shows up in Nashville and rents a "reasonably shabby"
room in a local motel/hotel. (as pictured) He calls the day before arriving,
asks KV to meet him at 10:00 am and doesn't tell him the subject(s) until
they are on camera!
When I recorded Kenny, it was for a Gene Haywood track. He was recommended
by the bass player in a band I'd previously been in and he showed up, "punked out" in spike
boots with a pink telecaster. He had a punk band at the time in Denver with his close
associate, Leroy X. A few years ago we re-acquainted when Marty Stuart performed in Portland.
Recently, I've arranged for a friend to co-write some songs with him.
He's asked Wendy Motin (recent Voice contestant) to sing the demo on one
of them, in which I had a hand in writing.
He's exactly what you see in those presentations; cool and very gracious.
