I remember seeing him at Antone's in Austin, TX back in the mid-80's, I was alerted to what turned out to be a great, soul-wrenching show by a story/ interview that appeared in the Austin Statesman. Otis came off as kind of bitter and frustrated in the article but hopeful that a recording project with Clapton would be coming soon. The author seemed to indicate that Otis was not nearly the "businessman" that some of the other bluesmen were whose careers were revived in that era and that he was somewhat indifferent to touring and never kept a band together for too long. All this from my leaky memory. At any rate we were lucky to have him and what he's left behind.
