Otis, the Gospel Guitarist

This wonderful gentleman played Gospel in the days before television brought music to us, and has some fantastic stories and playing to share with the world, so we shot this amateur video and interview in his house with his wife and friends by his side.We should all take note of his peaceful demeanor and grace. Check out his Gibson Es-125, which he got in the days it came out orignally. i played it, its lovely. Enjoy.
