    I first met Steve almost 25 years ago and I can honestly say he's one of a kind. I love me some Steve Poltz and y'all should take the time to get to know him. ❤

      It's a fine story, but it's topped by John's story that he wrote it at age 14, to impress a girl who told him he sounded like Roger Miller.

    What a fantastic memory to have of john. He went from having no tickets from Al to front row tickets from John himself.
    John was so cool in this story. So many people, celebrity or otherwise, have two faces, for that matter, so do most of us if we're honest. I strive to be like John (And Otis)and only have one face. It's a great way to live.
    Thank you so much Otis and Steve!

    Thank you for this gem. I lived and played music in San Diego for many years. I played some country punk fiddle for a minute in a band called Big Wheel Wipeout. We played at a bar called the Tiki. On at least one occasion Steve Poltz sat in with us. The experience was overwhelmingly pleasurable. I've seen Steve play a bunch over the years. He is the real deal, a rare, hilarious, nice, authentic human. Steve is exactly the same person on stage or in front of a camera as he is at all times.
    Otis, I love what you do and how you do it.

    A great story presented just when a great story is needed. John Prine's humanity shines through his music and his interactions with people that he met when he was living. Sharing these stories widens the circle and fills our hearts whether we had the fortune to meet him as I did in an airport or the many fans who did not. Well done, Otis.
