Morning Otis.......! A day with no assholes is a rarity, Otis........you're doing real good.

[@PaisleyPatchouli]

Otis, I know how you feel about releasing a film! I have a 3 hour documentary/interview on my channel that I produced, filmed, edited, and all the rest, on my own dime and time... It's called WWII Scrapbook, The Life and Times of GI Joel. It actually took me many years to complete, but that's a whole 'nother story. It's about a WWII combat veteran whom I befriended in NYC and took out every Sunday for coffee(!) and donuts for 6 years, from '99 to '05. For the 4 1/2 years that he was in service he carried an old Zeiss Ikonta 2 1/4 folding camera, and I got approx 500 negatives from him that he had kept wrapped up in an old silk shirt in his sock drawer for over 50 years; the world had never seen his photos. He made his living after the war as a pro photographer, so the quality of the pics are very good. And his memory was exceptional... I began printing 8x10s off his negs, and every Sunday I would bring along a dozen or so, and when he'd see them, he'd just start talking, and would remember details that were amazing. Anyway, if you're at all interested in some oddball WWII history from a couple of oddball New Yorkers, please check it out sometime. It was shot in Hi8 (when Joe was around 90 years old) and later transferred to digital, so the quality is only good enough for a laptop, but the value is in Joe's stories and photos. Hope you can have a look. BTW, I'm fascinated by what you said about using old 60s lenses to make your documentary! I used to collect old Leicas, Graflexes and Hasselblads, and I know what you mean about the quality of that old glass! So awesome to be able to use it to enhance digital! Best, -Paul D PS: Happy Birthday Amy! I hope Otis shows you a great time! Maybe a WWII documentary?? ;)

Phenomenal documentary…..loved it. Someday I believe Todd’s talent will become even more widely recognized, and this film will be a definitive resource to learn more about him and his music

[@mikemaki6165]

Thank you Otis!! You're truly a beautiful soul!! The documentary is fantastic. Job well done. Happy birthday Amy! Thanks again Otis!! Love ya!!

[@zendixie]

Sorry I missed the live chat and I’m glad you don’t think we’re buttholes. The Todd doc is great. If I was close by I’d take you two out for Amy’s birthday. Your efforts are appreciated Otis.

[@okpainter9700]

Congratulations to you, Todd, and Todd. I haven't watched it yet, but I'm really looking forward to it. Happy birthday, Amy!

[@LastMoonboy]

Otis you should be extremely proud of your content. It’s the wholesome beautiful truth. I can’t wait to see what the next video brings. God bless you and thank you for this channel

[@josephohora1287]

Mr. Otis!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love the Documentary!!! Thank you for all your Awesome work of love❤

[@williamperkins7318]

I watched/listened to the documentary late last night. Not because of the content, I fell asleep to it. I ended up having a vivid dream where I was traveling with Todd through a snowstorm. Great dream. Amy, have a great birthday!

[@obizzil]

Happy birthday Amy!🎉🎉

[@wshow11]

Happy Birthday, Amy! Have a wonderful day!

[@wshow11]

Lol....Enjoy the floormats.

[@mlt3820]

You and Todd did a couple episodes from the car, more than couple but they are what brought me to Mr. Snider. His years of music service shines so bright. Being a Good Dude ain't hard. The Golden Rule always works. ✌️🤟

[@Surlycamera]

Have a beautiful day, Amy. Happy Birthday.

[@bruinsfan8278]

Otis your videos like, when you run your mouth about the Beatles, To me, They are the best while enjoying my morning coffee! Happy birthday Amy! Hope Otis sings happy birthday to you !!!

[@jonristic3794]

Happy Birthday Amy. Great film! Thank you.

[@dstdenis01]

I saw this documentary in my KZbin feed but didn't understand what it was about. Thanks for explaining it here. Now I'll watch it! Happy birthday, Amy!

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

Happy Saturday, Otis! And Happy Birthday to Ms. Amy! I hope y'all have an enjoyable day celebrating by doing Amy things! 🤍💛 I wanted to catch the premier of your Todd Snider movie, but I was working. Hard to justify to the boss or my coworkers. I'll watch it this morning. Thank you for doing what you do and being who you are 🙏🏻 I would enjoy a conversation with you over coffee or what have you any day of the week. Be good to you 🤍💛

[@RandyH400]

Thanks Otis! Happy Birthday Amy!

[@madwheels65]

Hey Otis… just want to say I appreciate you. I really look forward to watching your videos. Oh and Happy Birthday Amy! Hope you have a terrific day!

[@drybayoudan5429]

Just a thought; Back in our younger days, most city’s newspapers had an entertainment column. Papers are a dying breed. The real reporter who would cover a smaller venue is extinct. Thanks for picking up the torch, to move forward to your channel coverage. Your work is very informative, as well as entertaining.

[@rddavies]

Saw a video from the late Jim Dickinson who asked the rhetorical question "what is a record" and he said above all it's to *document* a point in time. A band saying this is where we are creatively at this moment in time. For example Exile on Main Street (my example not his). That moment can never happen again but we have a "record" of that time and place. I think you're saying the same thing. Happy birthday Amy.

[@dsthorp]

Amie, Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoyed your "fly on the wall" perspective. Happy birthday Amy! I hope it was a good one.

[@drybayoudan5429]

You guys did a great job on the Todd Snider show ! The music, interviews, & Todd’s interaction with Keith & the attendees were excellent. I enjoyed it, & this morning coffee very much.

[@stephenvice1019]

Enjoyed the documentary. Looking forward to your future projects. Keep up the good work!

[@spirithealth7322]

Happy birthday, Amy❤

[@songsmithy07]

Happy Birthday, Amy! I hope your day is fantastic and you get something better than vacuum cleaner bags.😆I'm sure you will. Your documentary is fantastic, Otis! I watched it yesterday and enjoyed every second. I'm a huge fan of the Nervous Wrecks, and WOW! How cool was that reunion? Fantastic. Anyway, I loved it and you should be proud. 🧠❤️🎶

[@dripslobber]

Thanks for the videos, they bring me a lot of joy. It also introduced me to your music such as Hoosier National, which I have to say is amazing! So i'll continue watching with my decaf coffee 😀

[@MitchCrane]

Happy Birthday, Amy.

[@senatorjimdracula1603]

Happy birthday, Amy!!

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY AMY !

[@washingtonbob49]

Thank you so much Otis for the documentary...it was awesome. Please wish Amy a happy birthday from this old singer/songwriter from the foothills of Mt. Rainier in Washington State.

[@kimberlywolcott5506]

I really loved it. You did a great job...I hope you continue to do these kind of projects with artist. What a great use of technology..❤

[@mojo6778]

Happy Birthday Amy 🎂🍪 🍨🎉🥳

[@elizabethheyenga9277]

Doing new things and "getting it" is a great thing. Glad it was so positive - but as you reap, so shall you sow. You're a kind soul and you are right, you don't attract assholes. On social media that is saying something

[@tommaloney3938]

happy birthday Amy 🎂 and a big thanks for keeping my man Otis on the bright side. he couldn't have the peace and joy he exudes if was in a bad relationship. big thanks to you Amy.

[@tobingallawa3322]

It is the connections you make. There are assholes in the crowd, they just behave themselves because of the positive vibe you put out That coffee mug is almost the size of a hot tub

[@dave-uu4no]

Great pep talk Otis. Happy birthday Amy and have a wonderful day.

[@LarryMaccc]

Happy Birthday Amy🎉 Yesterday was my sweetheart Kathy’s BD. I am very familiar with that eye roll of which you speak. I watched the documentary earlier in the week and it was great! I bought Todd’s first album (CD) way back when it came out, 95ish. I never really heard about him again until I started listening to you. Then for the longest time whenever you mentioned Todd I thought it was Snider. I kept thinking man they are tight… In the last month or so I figured out that there are two Todd’s…silly me. Anyway, keep doing what you do. I sure enjoy it! Thanks!

[@Mantanhattan]

1st off: Happy Birthday, Amy! You were so kind to me when I asked you to check the status of my Otis subscription it totally blew my mind. Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful day. Total love for you guys. You guys are the real deal. 1st Class! Great doc, Otis! Congratulations!

[@GIBKEL]

No Otis….you’re one of the good ones. You keep good company and it shows. I miss the life I aimed for but it gives me so much joy that others hit the mark. You’re beautiful, good and true.

[@leebraly3904]

I enjoy your videos. Happy Birthday Amy!

[@melodymakermark]

I’ve got a novice’s background in photography, and always notice composition. I loved the shots of Todd playing on the left of the screen as we viewed, looking across the screen into the audience, which is unseen due to the contrast. Cool stuff Otis. You’ll only get better at this, but it’s obvious you’ve got a knack for it.

[@rktshop]

Happy birthday Amy! I hope you have a Great Day Today with many smiles! :)

[@michaellafond9516]

coffee & cannabis with ole Otis 😀

[@sweetbamabelle]

I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@kennethmayo7929]

Congratulations on the documentary Otis! Everything you do is so interesting and enjoyable. Happy Birthday to Amy!

[@dougsaroma]

I always thought you should be making longer form docs because of your style, and all the things you have documented, it just fits. I'm really glad to see you doing things in that direction. I've got my coffee, but it's decaf, for my second cup. Gotta cut down on the caffeine.

[@johnvineyard1282]

I watched it twice!

[@tomk4475]

Never get enough of these sir, thank you!

[@PaulReed-lj2ym]

Thank you, otis and todd, for your work doing this documentary.

[@xjamesramos]

Just watched it! LOVE IT! It's been years since I've seen Todd. Bloomington Indiana in the 90's. THANKS Otis!

[@edwardkane4134]

Happy Birthday Amy.

[@kurtdavidson9808]

Happy belayed it birthday, Amy. Otis, I don’t think I’ve ever missed you on a Saturday morning. I really enjoyed your film and I’m really really anticipating the next one. I can’t wait. Thank you for all your effort.

[@kmajor44]

Happy Birthday Amy! Thanks Otis!!

[@jswjanjan]

That is why we love you Otis - your page is a jackass-free zone!❤😊

[@Theweeze100]

You did a phenomenal job, Otis! I am very grateful to be part of the community do have started around your channel. Thank you!

[@erickincaid9779]

Thanks for sharing a little bit about how the sausage is made. I was wondering about the methods you used to get the really cool look of the film. Happy Birthday, Amy!

[@darrellarvin123]

Enjoyed my coffee with you this morning Otis and before I forget, Happy Birthday Amy. It is my daughter's birthday also so I hope you both have a truly enjoyable one. Otis you are an American treasure and I am pleased that you have done the documentary with Todd Snider. I have been a fan of his since the 80's since his days with the Nervous Wrecks and "Alright Guy". I truly appreciate what you do Otis. With all your interviews and stories of musicians and events as told by people who worked and traveled with my musical storytelling heroes. Making a long story shorter I just want to thank you for doing what you do and presenting it in your laidback way. Keep on doing what you do, it is worthy.

[@mickeysoltys6960]

I remember Keith Sykes from around Murray, KY in the 70’s. Good to know he’s still around.

[@wshow11]

The documentary was highly entertaining. Great job, Otis!

[@erickincaid9779]

That's cool, man, I'm glad you enjoyed the livestream of your documentary. You deserve to squeeze as much juice out of that thing as possible. You did a fantastic job.

[@kennedyterence4209]

Happy Birthday Amy! Have a great day you guys!

[@garymetcalf6998]

Watched it yesterday and , being a Todd fan, absolutely loved it. So we’ll done Mr. Gibbs. Thanks ✌🏻❤️🎶

[@missopowers]

You're doing wonderful things, Otis. And you seem really pleased with your work, which is altogether justified. Best of luck to you in the future, and Happy Birthday Amy!

[@jeremyparsons9152]

I was shocked when you said the A word, and delighted when you said the F word! You're human after all! Thanks Otis, keep up the great work

[@davecas3175]

Great stuff. Can’t wait to see the film. We need more creative stuff. Keep going brother. 🙏🏻

[@bobbob1221]

I'm glad to see it documented. It was my birthday that day and I got to spend some of it with Todd at Mindlewood. It was a great show and a cool crowd. You did a great job with the sound, btw. Happy birthday, Amy!

[@garytrew2766]

Thanks Otis and happy birthday to Aimee.

[@dennisdacey5109]

Happy Birthday Amy, it was my birthday yesterday! Enjoy and take care of Otis for all of us KZbinrs. Thanks for sharing him.

[@heavychevy4616]

g'mornin & thank u sir

[@dubdub4862]

saw it - loved it! I've been a fan of what he does since I first saw him in Nashville years ago. The doc captures him perfectly and it's done beautifully!

[@hypnocracy6102]

Otis Awesome documentary...you just validated my live music taping career. ;^) I love live music and saving it for the future. Taped Billy Strings in bars back in 2017 and last weekend. If you ever come back to Haw River Ballroom...lets' make it work.

[@rybgpo]

I joined the film well into the live stream and was immediately captivated. It looks great, the performances are terrific, and the conversation and monologues are fascinating. I’m going to watch it again. Thanks so much for the hard work and for sharing it. Your channel is really special. Happy, Happy Birthday, Amy!

[@davidwood351]

I’ve never busked, but people I know have told me it’s a complicated scene. People feel that they “own” a particular spot, try to chase you out, city ordinances, permits, etc. This is in Sacramento, Ca.

[@brianharris7243]

Watched...loved it.

[@armandogarza6181]

You should be very proud of the Todd Snider Documentary Otis, it was great! I missed the live stream but of course I eventually seen it. I've seen Todd perform once before, so this was a treat for me. Happy birthday Amy! Cheers.

[@estevangriffin4826]

Thanks for all you do Otis, gonna fire up the doc tonight!!A happy birthday to Amy!

[@paulcoleman3081]

Happy Birthday Amy. Your household is so talented I expect the dogs are astrophysicists!

[@chetcalhoun613]

Happy Birthday Amy! Enjoy your day! And thanks Otis!

[@JamesScottB]

Inspiring Otis...and especially when you said "It's Amy's birthday, so I am going to do Amy stuff today." Happy birthday Amy!

[@RobertWilson-qb8lo]

Sounds like a cool project Otis. Love the idea of using old lenses/old tech to give it an old school feel. Happy Birthday Amy :)
