Bad arse Willie Nelson Stories..told by other players, hosted by Otis Gibbs

quote:

---

I love Otis, I watch his YouTube channel all the time. I thought his podcasts from a few years back were better but he couldn't monetize those

---

He's got to be cool guy, for all these people just to come hang out and talk to him.
Or he has some killer weed

quote:

---

He's a musician too. Kind of a folky singer songwriter. I'd go see him if he ever plays in my town.

---

The Black sheep from the other brothers Gibbs?
I bet he could do a great version of that coal mine cave in song
Have you seen my wife Mr. Jones?
I really like him too. I wish we had more content like that.

WSM = Wrong Side of the Mississippi. Heh.

yeah that's funny.
True story: Their antenna is right beside I65 in a pasture, and it's huge. One day back in the 90s, I had been in Nashville pitching songs and it was an unlucky trip. I was driving home kind of depressed in my old Buick.
Right as I am passing the WSM tower, a song hits my brain right out of the blue. Not just an idea, it's a complete song, and I hit the shoulder and wrote it down on my yellow legal pad. That's the only time that had ever happened to me and I couldn't believe it.
After I finished I couldn't wait to get home and I made it from there in just over an hour.
The wife and kid were at her Mom's and I had the house to myself. I walked in and sat down with my guitar and recorded it on a radio shack cassette recorder. I think I nailed it on like the 3rd try.
It was a pretty decent old school country song. It never made me any money, but it caught a lot of attention when I would play it out back then and it helped me get stuff listened to by publishers.
For a long time after that, I would slow way down every time I was passing the WSM tower
This is that song

I appreciate the compliment!
I like telling that story too, and it's absolutely true.
I like remembering that car too, it was one of my Dad's favorites. 74 (lookin back at some photos, that car was actually a 73) Buick Centurion 2door hard top( same as a LeSabre with no frills all engine) 455 automatic, Vanilla white with a buckskin vinyl top. I kept that one as long as I could.

That’s a good song.

No, it was about my brother being on the latest Otis episode.

frickin Link it!
I want to watch it right now.
I like your brother's stuff, and cool attitude.
I have a pneumatic mouse shaker that keeps my computer on, so this thing might say I'm online, but really I'm not.
Give me a real chance to see something before you delete it.

My brother has been touring since June, a west coast swing and now an east coast swing. He's been telling me how shitty the buses are that they are using and now he has told Otis.

Your brother's a goof. I like that.

Damn good tune, thanks for posting. You have a good voice.
