Here's a great deep dive of Kenny telling stories.

Back in the day Dylan was much more accessible. I have a story of our(his and mine together) drinking escapades during Mardi gras 1964.... will gladly tell for free access to your site. i also have stories about Frank Wakefield which by itself should increase your fan base, it is just that good.
Enjoy his stories, but Dylan is my favorite. I will sit still for a Dylan story anytime. Thanks Otis

I've got a good Dylan story...maybe not great but I heard it First Hand and I liked it. I saw him only once in '88 with GE Smith. Damn PROFESSIONAL show. This was in Winnipeg and Bob was staying at the Hotel Fort Garry. The next day I went to visit my friend Rick at his pet store and told him I saw Dylan last night. He said "So did I." Oh did you like the concert I asked. No I saw him at the bar in the basement of the Hotel he replied. NOW the interesting part...Bob has been there for a couple of nights already and kind of has the run of the place and my friend Rick had a contract to maintain the aquariums in the bar. Rick shows up at closing time to work and the place is empty except for the waitress and Bob. So they strike up a conversation with beers and it's getting late so the waitress/manager leaves them alone with access to the draft keg and goes home. Here's the kicker...Rick didn't know WHO Bob Dylan was or at least who he was talking with all evening UNTILL they were walking out in the wee hours and the keg was DRY and Rick saw the Poster on the door! He said something like OH You're HIM. You'd have to know Rick to fully appreciate the circumstance. AND part way thru Rick telling me this, his big ego buddy strolls in and in a snide, scoffing, disbelieving tone says "You talked with Bob Dylan last night?!!!" Nonchalantly Rick replied "Yeah...smoked a joint with him."
@@jeffbryan3224 that is a great story, and your friend didn't know is cool.. Hard to believe he didn't but I know it was pretty long time. I recall GE Smith telling how he got the gig with Dylan. Thanks for telling it.
@@garytrew2766 Like I mentioned you'd need to know Rick to fully appreciate his attitude...I remember he had a killer stereo but not a clue what to play on it. lol ONE more thing...I asked him what they talked about. He didn't elaborate. He just said "spirits". I saw the GE "job interview/audition" story as well...THAT was cool! Bob was the BOSS but GE was the "conductor" I remember EVERY number ending with GE signaling and waving his arms at the band...SUPER TIGHT! It was really nice night for ME too...Total FLUKE that I went to the show...Another friend of mine had an extra ticket...
@@jeffbryan3224 I am sure it was a great show.
I somehow picture Marty Stuart being a great friend to everybody. As long as they are not a jerk. Thanks Otis and Kenny.
Kenny is correct, a lot of Bob's songs are on another level. I've been listening to Bob for 52 years, his music is timeless.
I knew Kenny Vaughn was a great guitarist, but my respect for him grew even more on one of Marty Stuart’s television shows. During the inspirational segment of the show that night, Connie Smith sang the Molly O’Day version of Hank Williams’ “Singing Waterfall”. Kenny was playing a Martin acoustic guitar and when it came his time for the instrumental break, he played Lynn Davis’ guitar break from the original recording pretty much verbatim. That reassured me that he had studied that recording and didn’t just throw something in there. Thanks, Kenny.
Kenny Vaughan is a fantastic guitarist and storyteller. Thanks for sharing this with us, Otis.
Kenny Vaughan is your perfect guest. Thank you so much, Otis.
Bob Dylan shaped my view of reality with his poetic lyrics. I grew up in the sixties and his music was a staple in my record collection. He put a different spin from the old time rock and roll on my turntable. Hallucinogenic substances made me think I understood the lyrics, but after they wore off, I was still perplexed as to what he was singing about. One of Americas finest singer songwriters who will always remain relevant even during changing times
Kenny Vaughan... great stories and great storyteller! Yay!!
I've been a Dylan fan since my dearly departed brother introduced me to him when i was 12/13 years old. Hearing songs like Hollis Brown, Pawn in the game, Hattie Carrol forced me to read about her as well as Emit Till and others and I could never understand and still don't understand why i wasn't being told about these people and stories in school, but instead about the great british empire and their murderous ways. These songs and most Dylan songs have and still have a profound effect on me, actually educated me more than anything i ever learned in school. Then there is that mystery that all Dylan fans know about, something mysterious and magical about him that he almost doesn't seem human. I think i would hate to meet him because I want him to remain this untouchable, enigmatic figure that i have of him. While there are many great songwriters, John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, Jason Molina, Willie Nelson, Townes van Zandt being just a few, Dylan is beyond great. He's the best that's ever been and by an absolute distance and for the most part, even most other musicians say the same. Thanks for this, Otis. Hope you're doing well, friend.
Always dig Kenny's stories. Thanks for posting. We still give a damn.
I grew up in a tiny town in a tiny country at the bottom of the South Pacific , when I heard Subterranean Homesick Blues ( on AM radio ) it blew MY 13 year old mind too . I tried to buy the rekkid at both of the two local shops that purveyed vinyl , and neither had it or wanted it . I ordered it via the slightly hipper of the two shops and they made me pay for it up front ! Totally worth it .
I love your conversations with all your friends, but Kenny is my favorite. Thank you for letting us listen in.🙂
I've watched a lot of your Kenny Vaughan videos. He's just a natural storyteller, but what I like most is nobody is more amused by his stories than Kenny himself and it's hard not to laugh along with him. He seems to like people in general and never judges or talks bad about the artists he tells stories about, and I like that about him too.
Saw Kenny Vaughan with Lucinda at Slims in SF. Tastiest guitar licks ever and he was so relaxed. I was digging the show and he made eye contact and nodded. Was a nice gesture, and made me smile. I love Kenny’s stories, his dry humor and perfect timing.
Dig Kenny. Bob got to me bad when I was 13, around 1963. Can’t put it down.
same for me. seems to have hooked a lot of people around that age
Same here. The 60’s was a great time to be a teenager.
I love hearing Kenny tell these stories, but he has become one of my favourite guitar players.
I got to catch Bob in Mobile, AL a few months ago and he sounded amazing
I love Kenny’s stories, and how excited he is, despite his own stature, at meeting all these music luminaries! I owned/operated/stage managed an “International Roots and Blues Festival “ in Canada, a three day event. At least two dozen past and present bluesmen/rockers/country players, and their bands - John Mayal to James Cotton - Jeff Healey to Little Feat - Dr John to Steve Earle - Hubert Summlin to Willie Big Eyes Smith - Johnny Winter to……we’ll, you get the idea. I spent from 2001 to 2012 being totally star struck every summer - and boy, did I love it!
Cheers Kenny
Thanks Ottis
Peaceo
Bringing it all back home was the album that changed my musical life without question.
Thanks Otis for doing Kenny all week, I love his stories and he tells them so well. Cheers from Austin!
Dinner party with unnamed attendees, Bob is there and wears reflector sunglasses throughout the entire night and meal. I have seen him perform more than anyone else and am a huge fan. Thanks for these interviews. I remember the Johnny Three in Denver, they played at my High School.
Lucky you. I’ve never seen Dylan play. A sign of general respect for him among musicians is the amount of them who named their children after him.
@@Caperhere Not sure where you live, but if you can catch any of his upcoming shows, and it is even close to being financially feasible, I would encourage you to fly or drive to a different state if necessary and see him live before he passes.
That was certainly a bucket list item for me, and I was able to enjoy it with my teenage sons (who are huge Dylan fans) when we saw him March 2022 in Tucson. He actually sounded great, and the acoustics at least at that venue were unparalleled. It was an intimate venue and the tickets actually weren’t that expensive ($55 maybe?).
So I would encourage you to take that big step and try to make it happen. You will never regret spending the extra cash and being able to be one of the few people for the rest of your life who can say they saw the unparalleled Bob Dylan live.
Kenny Vaughn is a treasure..great guy..great musician...
I've seen this one already. I don't care. I will watch it again. I'm bingein' on Vaughn. He's just too cool. His vibe. Makes my day.
I REALLY have and enjoy watching Kenny enjoying himself - laughing and thinking back on those fun times - . Love hearing the stories of my love Bob being carefree , friendly , laid back , and screwing with people's heads.. it such a hoot . I hope he's still has fun ... I think he's a real sweetheart and deserves alot of love and respect !Thanks Otis !
I was lucky enough to have seen Dylan and Haggard in San Antonio, TX.
Merle did a great set and received a standing ovation.
Dylan had set up in the back of the stage. Our seats were in the left side of the balcony.
We got to hear Dylan but never saw him.
We saw him again in Grand Prairie, TX . Mark Knoppler opened for him.
Dylan did the same thing! Again, we can't see!
Kenny.. Such a Chill Guy... love all these stories about MUSIC!@ Makes me feel ALIVE!!
Dylan stories are fun… amazingly I experienced a couple first hand.. as I was involved w a group that toured w him.. we were back stage and Dylan was opening.. later years he didn’t want anyone he didn’t know around as he passed thru.. aand.. we were there once.. and heard him say.. in the ol’ Bob Dylan voice: “who are all these people and what are they doin in the halls…” sooo funny… laugh right now.. went to dinner w his band without him… and they told us.. he would put on a wig and go out on the street w a skateboard as a cover.. soo great. His whole band dressed in black.. interesting folks.. good time.. in Detroit Michigan.. mom and brother were there too.. xo.. 🤍💚🎼💙🕊
Kenny Vaughan is a great guitarist in his own right. He is my favorite. I love his attitude. He is a fan of music which is really nice to hear. Guitarists are competitive souls,he seems to really appreciate his influences. Beautiful.
Sooooooo. COOL!
kenny seems EXACTLY the type of player BD would hire
I'm just 3 years older than Kenny (at 71), so all his musical references ring so true for me. Still remember being schooled in the counterculture at age 14 by "Subterranean Homesick Blues" (who can hear that song now and not see Dylan flipping the lyrics cards in the black and white video?). It was his first charting single in the U.S. (at #39), but went to #10 in England. Nice to know that Dylan acknowledges the influence of Chuck Berry's "Too Much Monkey Business" on the song's rapid-fire lyrics. My Mt. Rushmore of rock and roll-era lyricists features Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell.
I could listen to Kenny all day long. Thank you for posting this Otis.
Great stuff. Thank you so much!!!
Yea Kenny really can tell stories and give the impressions. He is so cool.
Thanks to both of you. Loving the stories.
Thoroughly enjoyed drinking a beer and listening to these stories. Cheers from Chicago!
❤️ I had to watch this another time..great capture Otis.
❤️ to love Kenny Vaughn, let me count the ways, thankyou Otis and Kenny thankyou
Thanks for all your great content, always worth a listen Kudos sir.
Great interview ,thanks
Ottis I don't know how you do it but keep doing it. Kenny is incredible. Thank you
Great stories. Thanks.
Kenny Vaughn WEEK!!!!
Great stories from you and Kenny loved the fact that he got so animated about Georgie Fame (one of my my all time heroes since 1963) when Bob and Van were in the room fantastic recognition of another great musician. Going to see Marty and Kenny in Glasgow next month can't wait. Hope life is treating you well. Chet
You two rock! Great stories. Peace!
Great stories! Always enjoy the Bob stuff. I telegraphed a carbon copy of this to Expecting Rain, so a link to it should appear on their front page tomorrow. I'll let the local Bobcats know too. Thanks for sharing, Otis.
Much love to you Otis!!
I met Dylan once when my friend Dave Alvin was touring with him. Unique experience to say the least.
Dave Alvin ... you've got great taste in friends! See him everytime he comes through Portland. One of my favorite songwriters, as well as a great lead guitarist.
Dave Alvin rules
Great stuff!
Thanks again Otis. Watching these Kenny Vaughn videos, I often pause to look up musicians you or he mention that I don't know about, like Georgie Fame, for instance. Really value learning the history. Just like watching the Joe Chambers interviews from Musicians Hall of fame, I find out a bunch. Deep cuts (for me anyway).
Couldn’t agree more this is a rabbit hole, I’ll never leave
❤back again
Thanks Otis..!❤️👍🏼
Great interview love Kenny's stories
Great video! Kenny, your enthuiasm is catching but I have to agree wholeheartedly with what you said about Dylan. Thanks Otis and Kenny!
Love these sorts of conversations - like some friends shooting the breeze with each other.
I could listen to Kenny V. tell road stories all day long good stuff I love it.
I love Listening to Kenny Vaughan on your videos Otis 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Gents !! Treasured stories !
This channel needs more Kenny Vaughan
I got to see a few of those Van,Bob shows with Lucinda first time i became aware of her and was an instant fan,love hearin kennys stories,thanks otis,respect👊
pretty cool Otis thank you
I saw Georgie fame in Melbourne in the early eighties,fantastic,I've picked up a lot of his albums over the years, one is autographed from that night.
Bob was playing in cork ireland about 6 or 7 year's back and i was playing a irish trad session in a bar and this guy was hovering around us and our fiddle player recognised him as a player in Bob's band,his name was don, can't remember his second name but was a lovely guy and he ended up playing with us,that's my bob story 😉
A week of Kenny Vaughn. A pretty nice week, I'd say.
Can't wait to see MS&TFS in Clearwater in a few months!
My idea of heaven would be alternate days of Kenny and Marty telling stories for eternity. With some musical interludes. Pretty darn close here. 💕💕🙋🙋🎶🎶
Was gonna add a comment but after reading a few it had already been said thanks Kenny and Otis
Hell of a life you live Otis.
such a good Dylan impression!
Most important artist of the last hundred years
Wow🤘🤘you could do a pod cast with just you and Kenny !! Great stories ✌️😎
Great stuff Kenny. Thinking of your garage band roots in Littleton. Big HEY from Colorado. Always wonder if you remember my sister Edie Tesone . You guys rocked it.
Besides the obviously wonderful interview- boy kids don’t realize the excitement, joy and anticipation of running to the record store first day of a release. Beats disneyworld!!
Is there anyone in Music that’s not a friend of Marty Stuart?
Discussed in the EDLIS Café.
EDLIS Café Press
i dig this kenny vaughan fellar
AWESOMENESS!!! 🙏🙏🙏😃!!!! Love it guys 👌.
Very much appreciated.
- Be well & enjoy the Summah
THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL DUDES TY SO MUCH!!! 😍🌈😎
Love Kenny. The Dylan-Merle backstage interaction story is priceless. Dylan is known to have a very biting wit, "fu*king with people" as Kenny noted. "Wordsmith assassins" as Joan Baez called him & Bob Neuwirth and not in a totally complimentary way.
"It's a hard rain gonna fall."
Kenny can really tell some good stories
Man that would be cool to meet Bob Dylan, I haven't even met Kenny Vaughn yet, I got a way's to go....As of 2022 the musician I'd like to meet most would be Jerry lee Lewis, in around 1980 would have been cool, Kenny Lovelace would be cool to meet also, the stories he could tell would be priceless, he ain't telling though, he's loyal as loyal goes, He did go as far as to say he wore a few piano stools around his shins before knowing better, he started taking a couple of steps back by around 1969, he's a fast learner.
I was around him. What a sweet ❤️ heart.
Dylan Hugs ❤️
Man Kenny’s got the best story’s! lol I love you tube!! About bob and hag that’s fun cuz Dylan threw some shade on hag in the press about not singing any of his songs lol great story’s!
Georgie Fame and The Blue Flames! Love Georgie, Kenny Vaughan seems like he'd be a blast to play with, he's got the best stories. Kenny, need a bass player? 🤣
Hard rain gonna fall
Another great story,thanks.Otis.
Also,we demand some Amy and you on the porch!
Perhaps “demand” is too strong…
How about this.
Please 😎😃
Bob is in my top 10 humans of all time
Anthony bourdain is in that list too
Love Kenny's information on the best Amp out of all the Amps. ,
the Amps that have something special ,
Kenny what kind of tubes do you like?
low gain or high gain?
What do you think of old tubes?
Appreciate the information Kenny.
Cousin Kenny is the man
Two old fellas jangling away in a rail car, travelling any wich way life takes their fate, these guys rolling along travelling and playing their songs, in a rail car on the railways, on the tracks, locomotive confinement jostling clanking they never riding back they got a horizon, rambling along beating the sun to the coast defying sun rising, its bob on the tracks railway band bandit man in a rail car riding free into the future of mystery
I just love Kenny! Of course he's one of the greatest pickers breathing air, but setting that aside, it's just so apparent that he REALLY loves the music and being around great musicians. You can just see he loves it like a kid who dreams to be there one day, but Kenny IS there, and yet that organic love for the music is still just as damn strong and honest as it probably was when he was just a lad dreaming hard 'bout it. What about Kenny's sense of humor, yea! And how he delivers those beautiful stories, like dropping in the voices of cats like Bob and Hagg. Now, I don't have the luxury to know Kenny, but my guess is that if you're damn lucky enough to count Kenny as one of your pals, why I'd bet anything he's probably way high on your list of your favorite mates to hang around with.
That album Van Morrison and Georgie Fame did is outstanding! If you haven’t heard it, check it out!
Looks like the Dylan Hotel in Woodstock !
I been loving Bob Dylan since a girl well i am still a girl just alot older born in 1954 i would love Bob and Van Morrison
"Hey! I'm Bob! I'm Bob!" Like the man needs an introduction. As if nobody would recognize him.
I'll never forget Dylan's eulogy for Jerry Garcia. Check it out.
Hot Tunas the bang
I am ashamed that I did not know how amazing of a guitar player Kenny Vaughn is. I guess I don't know sh*t about music after all. F me. Sorry Kenny and Otis for being a DB. Love Kenny Telling stories of course too. Peace..
