    Todd builds and repairs amps for your favorite guitar players. You should check out his website and tell him Otis sent you. Special thanks to my buddy, Guthrie Trapp for helping make this happen.

    Otis has built this amazing platform that speaks to the making of music without gossip adding hope and reverence to it's creation through the most quiet of its contributors.

    Great interview. I've been bringing my amps to his shop for 20+ years. I know he deals and interacts with many big names in music, but he and crew always treated me (just a living room hero) like I was the "man". He's a great musician and amp builder; most of all, a real class act.

    Fun interview...now it's got me wondering what other great stories Todd could tell about music in Cleveland in the 70's.
    I spent almost 30 years living near Lake Erie and it made me smile to see 'Heights' represented on your channel.
    Thanks Otis!

    I remember seeing Hall and Oates at the Toledo Sports arena for their Bigger than
    Both of us tour and thinking that their lead guitarist was the coolest ever...something about his very cool horizontal striped shirt...ha..(pre-new wave)
    I assumed that he was Chris Bond. Later found out it was Todd Sharp. His solo album Who am I? form 1986 is still one of my favorite albums of the 80's. Christine McVie sings with him on a few tunes and his guitar and vocals and Songwriting are absolutely stellar. I just put on the vinyl...a totally great album from start to finish.Great, great songs .He has another solo album available as well....Thanks , Todd, it's great to hear from you and hear your music again!

    I was way late to get interested in Hall and Oates they really are worth a deep dive.

    I met Todd through his brother who farmed blueberries in Arkansas. He was touring with Rod Stewart at that time. I had Todd rebuild a 65 Pro Reverb amp and he brought it to Kansas City for me in Delbert McClinton’s tour bus as he was playing for Delbert then. I considered that as additional MoJo for my amp. Todd is a Cool player

      I always thought John Oates was a glorified backup singer, whose voice and guitar playing just weren’t good enough to be lead. His solo work never changed my mind, either. Daryl, however, had a voice you don’t come across very often and his solo compositions are unparalleled - truly soul stirring.

    I saw a video the other day, but I haven't fact checked it, however, it said they're not called Hall and Oates. They were never called Hall and Oates. The band has always went by their full names, whatever that is. John and something.
    I should Google it but Google banned me.

      As one is 6’1” and blond (Daryl Hall) and the other is barely 5’5” and dark (John Oates), it really isn’t hard to tell them apart.
