When Bob was in Winnipeg for a show 15 years ago he showed up [during the day] to a house on Grosvenor Ave where Neil Young spent his formative years. The owners of the house invited him in for a tour and he was very interested in seeing Neil's old room, the view he had out his window as a teenager, where he listened to music etc. So ya, most likely he was checking out Springsteen's old neighborhood. The genius of Bob Dylan can't be overstated.
Many years ago I was visiting retired relatives at their home and we took a walk. It was a upscale area and I was told of a famous peoples houses. One of them had belonged to the great Liberace but was in probate after his passing. We got it into our mind that it would be ok to walk onto the property and have a look, after all it was unoccupied and had been for sometime. After we ventured down the drive and took a look around we were peering into the back windows when it occurred to me we probably wouldn't be able to explain ourselves if someone showed up. I mentioned this to my companions and they agreed and we left without any trouble. Sounds like Bob went to look for the boss's house and seeing the for sale sign let his curiosity get the better of him.
Kokomo Indiana is a sweaty stinky armpit of a town. I played many gigs there in a Grateful Dead cover band....
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth no one will see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." For God so loved the world that He give His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me. I forgive all who have offended me. Come into my heart and save me. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and baptise me with your Holy Spirit. Fulfill your plan and purpose in my life. "I recommend you read John's Gospel especially chapter 3.Gbu.John 3v3v22,John 14v6.
Funny Dylan story, reminds me of a story when Chet Atkins had a layover at some airport so was killing time in an airport bar where a band was playing. One of the guys recognized him and offered his guitar to Chet to play. After he finished and was walking back to his seat some patron of the bar say's to him "you're pretty good, but you're no Chet" !
Chet made the same comment to Mark Knopfler on the track There'll Be Some Changes Made, I guess he was referencing that incident.
There is another Dylan story from 2009 where he goes a Beatles tour of Liverpool with a mini-bus full of other Beatle fans apparently unrecognized by any of them.
That's awesome 😂
Hi Otis, Nice video this AM. I was in a band on a tour in NJ and we were harassed by the NJ gestapo. We were sleeping in a park with the generator running to power the ac etc on the bus while we slept. The police showed up weapons drawn beating on the side of the bus and demanding everyone get off the bus. This was a 45 foot eagle and we had stopped at the town hall to get permission to park there and sleep. We explained we were a bluegrass band doing a show and a radio appearance in the area. The officer demanded I move the bus and never return. I guess NJ's finest doesn't like bluegrass....or generators?
I'm a former LEO in a different part of the country, so this is not based on personal experience, but Jersey Troopers have a reputation of being a shade uptight.

@@bradparker9664 They go to LE conventions and while everybody is trying to learn about techniques, processes and skills and so on they're going, "Hey Joey! Let's go watch someone's broken nineteen year old daughter dance on a table!" They're not serious LE. They're NJ Bar cops.
I'm starting this as Otis begins. I don't have the 34 minutes to listen, but I'm going to anyway. Otis can tell a story as good as it gets. I'm going to send him alot of money. The trips down the memory freeway are worth it.
English breakfast? I absolutely love a full English breakfast. Bill Bryson, in his book “Notes from a Small Island” referred to the stewed tomatoes as blood clots. Black pudding looks bad, tastes great. Beans, mixed with your egg yolks, mopped with a bit of toast is to die for. Orange marmalade on the toast after eating a bite of English bacon cant get no better and all washed down with a Yorkshire tea? Sign me back up!
Bob legally changed his name with his father and a lawyer in Hibbing. Rumor has it, his father cried.
Such a great story. Somehow I'm not surprised that Bob Dylan would come across as behaving "suspiciously."
Enjoyed the slide show! Do it again. Enjoyed my coffee watching you today. The Dylan story was great and reminds of the type of things I’ve heard about Bob before. He’s a good guy from my perspective. I can’t wait to see your show and enjoy the jokes and music. From what I’ve seen and heard you blend them together very well. I like the idea of visiting places that are historic to me. Like you and Bob Dylan I would find the street where someone I admired lived. I have a niece who lived at Jim Morrison’s old address in Paris. Makes a great story for her. Thanks and see you soon, Otis!
That was a funny story about Dylan, thanks! It's comforting to know the neighbors and police were keeping on eye out for people who might be there for nefarious purposes.
@15:00 - You caught a UFO! 🛸
The British chickens joke was good. I enjoyed the slide show. That was a cool idea.
Not too long ago, I read something that really hit home. I wish I knew who to credit it to. It’s one of the most profound statements that I’ve ever read or heard and, at age sixty-eight, I’ve been around the block a time or too. I’m paraphrasing so if I don’t get this exactly right, I apologize to whomever wrote or said it. Perhaps a lot of people have said it in one way or another.
Life should be about accumulating memories and experiences and not possessions. I should probably have that tattooed on my forearm where I could be reminded of it every day. There’s nothing wrong with having a few things that we enjoy or that make life easier. It’s especially nice to have something that commemorates an experience or reminds us of a friend or family member.
Otis, this came to mind this morning based on the stories you’ve told today and in the past on this channel. I’ve been captivated by many of the people you’ve interviewed. You’re a perfect example of a person who has pursued memories and experiences instead of possessions. I really enjoy listening to you tell about them. You take pleasure from the little things that others often take for granted. The material things that we chase never turn out to be as good in our hands as they were in our imagination. The great memories live perfectly in our hearts and minds forever.
Than you for sharing your memories with us. I hope there will be many more Saturday mornings like this one. This was a very pleasurable way to take my Saturday morning coffee. I hope you’ll continue to share your memories in both words and pictures.
Like your perspectives! A quote I garnered and savored from Dutch YTer, Simple Happy Zen is, "Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." -- Bertrand Russell
Hi Otis
I used to work in Hibbing Minnesota and I went to Dylan’s boyhood home the person that owns it now has painted Dylan mural’s on it really bad
Years ago I worked on some projects in Hibbing for a couple of years too, and looked up Dylan’s boyhood home. A very modest little box, four steps up to the front door landing, symmetrical windows. All I could imagine was his dad hollering “Shut the hell up!” down the basement stairs.
(I absolutely LOVE Dylan BTW)
Great morning chat! I've been a fan of your music and channel since May of '21 which makes it even cooler how much this channel is blowing up. Have a great day Otis!
Hey Otis. Love your video chats. I went to see Elvis Costello in Philly a couple of weeks back and stopped beforehand for visit at Edgar Allan Poe's house a handful of minutes away from the venue. We asked if any celebrities / authors had ever visited the home and were told Dylan had visited the home several years earlier when he played Philly. I live in Jersey and remember the Long Branch incident when reported. I think at the time he was playing a show at Monmouth College in Long Branch. I am pretty certain he was just seeking out Bruce's house. It would make no sense for Dylan to look to buy a home in Long Branch. He legally changed his name from Zimmerman to Dylan a few years after arriving in NYC...
Ocean County NJ resident here- Bruce Springsteen's childhood home is on 87 Randolph St in Freehold. It was sold in 2018.
@@sjladuke75 He was looking for the house where Bruce recorded Nebraska, which was (supposedly) recorded as a home demo, although who really knows, marketing is everything and we'll never know what the real story is--the "official" story has been dressed up and gussied up so much that who knows what parts of it are true.
Another round of satisfying story telling!
Thanks, again.
Hope you can interview John Jackson, Dylan’s guitarist from the ‘90’s.
I truly enjoy having Saturday morning coffee and watching your posts… It’ll be 116 here in the so cal desert. It’s a different heat than in Indiana. 95 there can feel pretty oppressive! Thank you for what you do! Be well!!
Love your photos Otis. I take photos every day hiking with my dog. Then years later when the picture memories pop up I think to myself “ I loved that dog and hey I have a wonderful life”
Fawn memories walking with my old buddies as well, hard to look at those pictures.
Never thought those times would end. 🤔
Thanks Otis, Can't think of a better way to start my Saturday morning. Coffee & a mighty fine story teller. All the best to you.
I understand the realties of touring, but you do a fantastic job of sharing the simple beauties of seeing the world. Thanks for showing us the world of music and otherwise through your eyes. Great stuff!
Thanks for sharing OG.
Your stories of your adventures in music are awesome.
Wish you much continued success.
Cheers!👊🤙.
Such a great story about Bob Dylan. He’s totally cool! How cool it had to be for Officer Buble that out of nowhere she has this fabulous story to tell her kids. Thanks, Otis. I love your videos! ❤
She's a Gen Z kid--she had no clue who Dylan was, even when she was told.
I'm digging the next level production of this morning's coffee conversation. And the subtle through-line of peacocks didn't escape me.
Good morning Otis! Great story about Bob. Stay cool.
Oh Otis,it reminds me of touring in the past, getting into situations and places you just can't believe you got to see or experience ...real magic, like getting to play music for people.Fantastic reflections , thanks.
As always, any Dylan talk is an entertaining listen. Keep on keeping on, Mr Otis!
Great to see Kilkenny in your pictures. I visit there at least once a year for the roots festival and try to visit friends there once or twice a year too. magic place! I think Bob Dylan during this time had a habit of visiting a few houses, I believe one that belonged to Neil young too. The peacock stage I believe is maverick festival. Thanks Otis!
Great video!! I love your story about authenticity of going after that high energy band.. really good stuff thank you for sharing it again
Great stories Otis! I love hearing them. Good coffee, good story and time to enjoy both…
I won a pair of tickets to the Mellencamp/Nelson/Dylan concert on a radio cal in. It was to be held at the Tennessee Smokies stadium near Gatlinburg. The show GOT CANCELED of course…
This demonstrates the respect Bob has for other musicians.
This was fun!! Do it often! 🙂Awesome to see far away places.💫
I like an occasional sprinkling of those hazy on-the-road photos too.
Passport says Robert Dylan.
Loved sharing your memories Otis and look forward to more, thank you for a cool and loving visit. Much care.
Imagine having Bob Dylan peeping in your window one rainy night!
I can hear a blue jay in the background of where you're at. Pretty cool
Thanks for sharing your story. Especially the festival story and the days at the school b&b. Enjoy your stories and insights so very much. ☮️
Really great video ! Wonderful stories ..... Hey , I was struck by your knowledge of the Holga camera ! The lesson of beauty in imperfection ..... Right on !
Great Saturday morning coffee chat. Loved the content and slideshow. I hope you share more pics with us. Love the last story - how cool that was, too bad in the back of your mind you had to worry about someone coming to get you - real downer. I know you love animals and that was cool hand feeding the peacocks. Have a great weekend - Cheers to you and Amy!
Well if you’re Bob Dylan you can go walking around during the day so from Bob view it’s a perfect time. Was he looking in the windows? Hear say? But it does sound like Bob😬. I have never seen this story? I’m sure Bob has had a lot of weird things happen. Bobs world and the way he has to navigate is totally different than any other person. Dark two raincoats black sweats. Perfect time for Bob to go out. Thanks Otis. Once again first thing I do every Saturday. Coffee and Otis.
What a Great Story Teller you are! And that Red Bird singing just makes me smile 😁 and the 🎵 💥 Hugs ❤
We are in sync I’ve got my coffee and we are talk in’ Dylan
Stumbled on to your channel, wonderful and memorable stories, thanks for sharing them! Bob Dylan is a character, much like the man who strongly influenced his music, Woody Guthrie. My family knew Woody, he was the first "rolling stone." They are not settled, but driven by their curiosities, interests and motivated by their core good hearts. To a police officer, they appear way "outside the box." LoL
Got my coffee. It was a fun one Otis we just got done house shopping. I’m lucky I didn’t get arrested. My name is Bob but not Dylan. Have a great day.
Always be yourself. There’s plenty of everyone else.
Great stories and pics. Thanks for making my Saturday morning/afternoon!
Otis, so glad to hear you talk about this. I remember reading about this when it happened, and it didn't seem so unusual to me considering the individual Bob is. What I did NOT know (until you said it) was that part about Bruce's Born To Run house. That's such an interesting part of the whole thing. I have my guesses, but I'm wondering why that was left out/omitted from the story way back when...🤔
Incidentally, I would just guess his passport reads "Robert Dylan" or "Bob Dylan" I can confirm to you that he did have his name officially changed, and I want to say it happened way, way back in '62 or thereabouts. Actually, if you have the liner notes/booklet that accompanies the bootleg series volumes 1-3, there is a photograph of his actual passport from the mid-seventies (i think). That passport reads Robert Dylan.
Edit: ."maybe it was later than 1962 that the paperwork was 'officially' filed and recognized. but the name change was governmentally recognized very early on"
My God, I didn't know peacocks got that big!
Great slide show! I’m wrapping up two years in London soon and liked seeing a few things I’ve missed (lronbridge).
Epic post! Thank you Otis! Loved the bird songs in the background at the very end….
There is a house in the West Adams neighborhood in L.A. the Dead lived in with owsley in 1967. A very cool craftsman, with stained glass windows. Owsley had the top floor where he did his thing. Pigpen lived out back in the granny flat. I eat my lunch in front of it once a month while sitting in my truck listening to an early Dead show on archive. There are about 20 Koreans living in it now. If your interested I’ll send you a picture of it.
I watch all your videos. You're a great story teller. Can't hardly wait for more.
Good morning from #Ireland☘️ Bob. You spin a great yarn. Hope you get back here again soon.
thanks for sharing the pics O.G.....you have a special Midwestern style and sensibility that shines through in everything you do....stay cool !
Thank you, Otis 🙏🏻
Happy Saturday!
Be good to you 🤍💛
Morning Otis for sure anytime you want to share some photos of the past or present and some story about them I find it fun and interesting.
Love the slide show…more, more, more!

Great stories Otis!
Yes, more pics and stories please Sir. It's food for the soul. I find a certain peace in another's experience. Especially with the visual of the pictures. Thank You
Yes more, that was very enjoyable, just you and the peacocks, and a cardinal fripping in the periphery. Excellent, funny too, good jibes.
Great stories! I spend a lot of time touring around England and Europe back in the 80's and 90's. Had the english breakfast...awful!!
I was in the backwoods of West Virginia once on a white water rafting trip we were on a old school bus that the guides were driving everyone to the river in. When the bus driver said if you look up the hill you'll see a old abandoned shack / house. He said hank Williams once stayed there. Me my friend Mark jumped up and made him stop the bus so we could see it. We even got off the bus. The other 50 people on the bus were not impressed. Lol😂😂😂 great story otis. Thanks brother
Thanks Otis your stories are great. And you give me a break from all the nonsense going on. I really appreciate that.
Visited Junkyard Dog’s grave a couple days ago and thought of you. My brother and I felt like Otis Gibbs & Todd fox checking out a cemetery. Great video as always!
Always interesting. Stay cool inside. Thank you
Hi from Belfast. Version of the story I heard was the house was where Neil Young lived for a while and wrote some stuff. I’m probably an unreliable witness.
You know Otis you are a great storyteller. I wish you would come to the Annapolis Md area. I have never seen you live but I’m always hoping you will come to the Baltimore DC area.
I did enjoy the Slideshow and the stories you told. I love what you said, “there’s a lot of life in it.” That is a great quote that really expresses a way of living. I think my only brush of being near fame is with Chumbawumba. I wrote on their website commenting on someone’s essay about the song by Prodigy titled “Slap My Bitch Up”. I was coming from the point of view as a mother of a teenaged girl and teacher of teenagers. One of the very cool women from the band responded to me in a well thought out, beautifully expressed email. I don’t remember her name but I was very impressed with her writing and her activism. I certainly wasn’t expecting someone from the band to write me back! I kept a copy of that email for a long time. I personally enjoyed their whole CD and would have loved seeing them in concert! I’m really glad that your concert went well with them and your experience with them corroborates my respect for the band.
Go Bob walking in the rain 🌧️ 👌😎
Gotta say, I do the same if I’m interested in something. At least walk by, maybe not as intense as Bob Dylan. I’ll go out of my way for breweries and boat launches too. Just for future reference
Good morning Otis I really enjoyed the slide show this morning. Hope you have a groovy day.☮️❤️
Brilliant! Many thx, Otis! Enjoy Everyone!
I went on the lennon and McCartney house tour. Fella driving the minibus said he had had Dylan and also Steve van zandt on his minibus!!
'Ole Audiophile to Ottis: As I watched your post, I could not help but wonder humorously if Bob had finally been arrested for theft by claiming membership in The Traveling Wilburys. We all see Bob in the videos every time they are shown but many of us have noticed his keeping silent in all those videos. I understood exactly why, he's among a group of living legends in Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, George Harrison & Roy Orbison. If I sang like him, I'd have kept my mouth firmly shut as well. Great stories sir, keep up the great posts/thanx. Freak show of freak shows, three of five legends have passed hence. Glad they did it...
Thank you for sharing all of your content its so great
I could listen to these tour stories all night long!!
That would be in Long Branch, New Jersey. I spent years in Long Branch with the band Mr Reality, Samhill & Highway 9 (same band) signed to 3 major record deals.
Thanks for sharing RIP Randy Meisner 🙏
I’m from just outside Ironbridge! Was surprised to see that picture. Thanks!
I ❤ your stories. Keep it up!!😊
I saw that tour in Fresno. Was amazing.
Back again, comment earlier was just about the Dylan story. Just finished the rest, love the photos. Your right, I think letting folks know that you don’t take yourself to seriously is always good. The coffee / Snyder joke is pretty damn funny as well.
Watching this on my desktop at work (shhh!) And typing this on my phone. But another great Saturday chat, Otis. I always look forward to these.
Great pics, Otis-thanks!
This just took me down a long Chris Sievy, "Freshies" and "Frank Sidebottom" wormhole on youtube. Thanks for that!
Very enjoyable! Thanks,Otis!
The folk festival in England was The Sidmouth Folk Festival 2012
I saw the show that night at Lakewood Blueclaws Stadium Bob said nothing about it.I believe that this occurred during the daytime before the evening concert. I love your videos Thanks
Hey, Otis! I had breakfast with Tim Wright of The Wright Brothers Band and he had some memories of playing The Possom back when George owned it. He said he’d talk to you, just reach out! He has all kinds of stories about being a working class musician in the 70s-90s making records and stuff. He has an audio book telling all about it as well.
Otis! Very good vid. Do love the stories of life on tour. And including the photos is cool. Keep up the good work.
Always up for a good Dylan story.
BTW: he legally changed his name. But…”you can call him Zimmie…”
LOVE THE PHOTOS OTIS, AND YOU ARE CORRECT, THE TODD SNYDER COFFEE HOUSE JOKE IS COMEDY GOLD.
The best humor is self deprecating. : D And YES !! Love the slide show concept !!!!
Yes I would enjoy more photo chats. Money is funny. You chase it and think 'if I only had x amount of money life would be greater.'. Then if you are fortunate to get to x amount you find out it's not greater, then you long for the chase and the days of barely getting by and having litterally nothing... and then you have to slap yourself in the face and remind yourself how stressful it was just trying to make rent... And others who still are in that struggle.
"I know there's a balance see it when I swing past" Between a laugh and a tear.-Mellencamp
Listened to your stories all the way through and enjoyed. Then I saw you were from near my hometown of West Newton. Marion County. No wonder you tell good stories. Be good to yourself, d
Great stories &pics👍🎸
7and a half West End Ct. Long Branch,NJ O7740! I Grew Up 2 Miles
South Of There! Word Is Bond!
I heard Dylan did the same in Winnipeg Canada looking for a Neil Young house.
If I recall correctly he knocked on the door and asked to see the bedroom on the front on of the house where Neil’s room was as a kid. I guess these cats are looking for some remaining magic or inspiration. Can’t imagine Bob knocking on my door. 😳
Great story ! Love your content Otis.
Which part of Indiana do you call home ? I'm from Logansport.
This was the quintessential mood/tone for my very first Howdy Doooo?...with you. A perfect blend of curiosity and amusement stirred within, yet I found it generously calming . I think you may have Yinned my Yeng. ☯️ 😆
P. S. This handle does match my birth certificate. Now our introduction is formaldehyde (I swear on my father's grave, that word suggestion offered that up when I got as far as "formal". I still find that kind of Universe Humor funny, so I tapped it.
I enjoyed the slideshow Otis! Looking forward to the next one...
Thanks for another fun video! As far as I read, Bob (perhaps through his manager Jeff Rosen) requested to the officer that the story should never hit the press. Also, supposedly Dylan offered the officer a free ticket for the night's show. I wonder who actually leaked the story to the press?
