Steve Poltz is a treasure! What an amazing cast of characters he’s encountered.

[@silvershimmer]

Steve Polz is one of my favorite people you interview. Stories he tells is the funniest. The john prine story had me rolling on the floor. My wife and I have a fantasy dinner where all our favorite people come and have supper for a great evening full of interesting conversations. Steve would be my pick. Thanks for the great videos!

[@mojo6778]

Steve Poltz is such a character, I never get tired of listening to stories from him.🤣

[@johnrountree370]

One of the best interview/ story session I have ever heard/ seen. Just great!

[@SuperManiacstudios]

Agreed!

[@mikemulligan1798]

Since seeing your last video with Steve, I took my 16 year old son on a pilgrimage to Big Pink. Peace…. And Much Love as always.

[@ianmichael9354]

I gotta say for 64, Steve looks great.

[@artemisXsidecross]

Steve Poltz is a warrior, survivor, and a treasure. He tells a great story with humor marking the way. ☮

[@TheShannon2288]

I've only recently discovered Steve Poltz, his disposition is so relatable and so seemingly genuine. Ya just gotta love this guy, right?!!

[@HakanTunaMuzik]

I had no idea who Steve Poltz was, but I sat through the whole thing and enjoyed it all. And now checking out his music.

[@backdoorarts5243]

I'm glad to have had time to get to know Steve better since you introduced me to him about a month ago before seeing this. I love him so much.

[@spooley]

Since the Prine kidnapping plot story I treasure every word from this man, he is so damn entertaining. Please, someone make a bio film on him, it would become a huge word of mouth hit. Thanks, Otis. Love ya, Steve.

[@jeffanderson8384]

Right?!?! Never knew who Steve was until Otis introduced him. Great stories!

[@jeffanderson8384]

I've listened to these videos before, shared/played them for others. Never gets old... always gives me a laugh and a smile. Thanks Steve and Otis for the wonderful stories.

[@catheryndenton1766]

Dear God he’s FUNNY!!!😂

[@rogertinker1813]

Thanks Otis , Steve seems like the coolest

[@samtheman1957]

I have to admit, I wasn't at all familiar with Steve or his music before Otis published this. THANK YOU for, possibly one of the most entertaining, amazing interviews ever, I am in tears laughing about the Prine story, It's INSANE. I'm now a full-fledged fan!

[@mikeb1589]

That John Prine story is pure gold!

[@chrishamm2515]

Been a Poltz/Rugburns fan since the 90s. Poltz is and always has been the man!

[@wittry2]

I love Steve Poltz and his stories!! What a great character.

[@johnmurret2290]

What a great storyteller. Writing songs with Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings. The story about the Blindboys of Alabama is hilarious and that John Prine story is as good as a story gets. New fan here! Thanks for sharing him with us.

[@harrylazard805]

Another great storyteller I never heard of. Your interviews are always entertaining and educational...

[@CW-le8wc]

Great stories. Also, I love the Big Pink shirt!

[@spiritstovelit72]

Somehow I missed how funny madd and real steve is first time through. His story about doing exactly what he wants to do and the leap of faith living and unexpected benfits of taking the ride. Outstanding Otis. Thanks for all these interviews.✌️

[@brianmcglade8164]

Laughter is the best medicine! You guys had me going ! Thanks Otis, Steve !

[@raleighwelborn1136]

Love this, Otis! Steve is great and so funny too

[@earring1]

Had to watch again, total gold! Thanks for getting this on video, and safe travels, Otis.

[@dougburns1521]

Steve poltz is the greatest interview since Kenny Vaughn

[@chrisdoss3428]

Good God this brings me back to my time in San Diego in the early 90s!

[@Mr_Rob_otto]

I didn’t realize Steve wrote and sang “Everything About You.” One of my favorite songs that I first heard in the movie Notting Hill. I’m blown away by this man’s chops.

[@chuckbouscaren3898]

Great stories Steve! Great job Otis!

[@jeffreywinsor350]

This is great! I really enjoyed it.

[@makepeace6]

This is sooo good. Thank you.

[@johnhackley1626]

I grew up in L.A just a few doors down the street from Larry and Norman Fischer. They were a couple of years older than me, and NOBODY would go near their house.

[@vincentmackell8237]

omg, that John Prine story killed me. Great interview as usual..

[@toddflowers8052]

Good morning Otis from Sarasota Florida 🌅😎

[@otisgibbs]

Good morning! : )

[@Ilovemusic793]

I love that t shirt!

[@bluequirk5384]

The eyes are selling me on the truth of the tales . Thanks Steve & Otis . oh yeh Casandra Lewis is so HHHHHot , thanks for the beautiful music

[@jsdorscher]

More Poltz!!!!

[@gnarshread]

What a rad dude! I've never heard of him but I I guarantee I'm going to look up his work now.

[@Paxilthedog]

Great storyteller !

[@DavidStoops-ml8ib]

Awesome story

[@gonzokompadre]

made my effing day!

[@SuperManiacstudios]

Love this guy, so funny. Just put on Diamonds In The Rough, which I'm not familiar with, and it's great so far!

[@brentstewart4360]

that was great!

[@jenives7278]

I can honestly say I had never watched the video of You Were Meant For Me until today and I'm pretty sure that Steve still has that shirt

[@garethpalmer4524]

liking that Big Pink tshirt

[@guitardog]

Doesn’t get better than Steve! He’s coming to the Annapolis songwriters fest and I’m looking forward to seeing him, it’s been a while.

[@RightReverandJimmy]

Gregory Page recently directed a film about Jack Tempchin that is marvelous. So is Steve.

[@bewaremyswirlyblades6775]

Room reminds me of the scene in Blaze with Sexton as Townes

[@kurtdavidson9808]

I love this guy…that’s a nifty little Lick. How funny is that? Can you imagine his face at that time???

[@bjorntannberg1581]

This really made me laugh!

[@davidmacleod9313]

Hahahaha! What a great story teller!

[@earlthepearl3922]

I love this guy!

[@deniseheupel8814]

Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road! 👍😎👍🥰❤🥰

[@anneglass8084]

Would love to smoke a joint with this dude

[@toddgaines9446]

Mary go Mary go Mary Go round.

[@briannacery9939]

Lol!

[@bryanstreettandtheblueridg9989]

This is the opposite of a one hit wonder being “interviewed” for 3 minutes on GMA

[@CptCrash21]

I've never wanted to be friends with someone more in my life.

[@TimEastonSongwriter]

oh there are most definitely still gatekeepers in the music business buddy, but yeah it's the gatekeepers in your mind that are the most dangerous

[@brianmiller3287]

I resemble that remark!!!
