Love you, your heart, your skill, your love for us; and above all that infectious smile that simply lights up the room…Praying for you still.

Dr. Norma Fair-Brown | Oct 6, 01:50 PMOT:
I saw this once, but reached it today through just typing in your name. What an awesome and proud moment to reach you through cyberspace and to see – again – how far God has brought you. From the little boy who loved music to the man that you’ve grown into – I just can’t thank God enough! He has blessed you with this awesome talent and with the humility that comes from knowing where your gifts come from. Continue to put God first in your life, and there’s no limit to the blessings He will continue to bestow upon you, Paula and my grandbabies.
I’m waiting now to see how Samuel, Josiah and Ashley develop as third generation drummmers.
I’m so very proud of you and love you even more.
Love, Mom

Thor Larsen | Dec 6, 08:06 AMOtis, Nice to see the site. Kinda lost track of you after the summer at Wolf Trap. But heard a lot of good things about you. Hey, why not talk to Lenny about Innovation?

Keith Duff | Dec 12, 05:29 PMOtis, I was born at Hackensack hospital back in ‘52. I grew up in Bergen County..Old Tappan H.S. Band. Drum Capt. Class of ‘71. I played for about 6 years with a fine jazz trio and as a house drummer up in Nanuet at the Ramada Inn for a couple of years in ‘74. Big Doings..my glory Days…. I thought. My Glory Days started when I recommitted my life to Jesus Christ. I am very glad to have found your site. Your life and testimony have inspired me. God bless you. Your parents must be fine people and youmust have goodfriends to help you in your walk. NEVER put Jesus anywhere but First and he will sustain you and you will always glorify Him with the gifts he gave you. Maybe I will come visit your church and worship one day. Thank you again. ps you’re blessed…and it warms me to see a brother in the Lord enjoying his drums. Keith Duff

Very nice site man. I like it when people share their experiences about traveling and what not.

The best of success to you bro.
Keep shining!

Lisa Henry | Jan 3, 12:51 PMHey Otis,
Hope this e-mail finds you doing well, making lots of bread, and some killin’ music. I’m looking forward to working with you on the Jazz In America tours coming up.
I left a message on your phone, but I also wanted to follow-up with an e-mail. I registered (and paid) for the upcoming IAJE Conference in New York. I got called to go to India next Tuesday, so I won’t be able to attend IAJE. Can you or someone you know use the registration spot? I just don’t want it to go to waste.
Let me know.
Safe travels.
Lisa

Debbie Schatkowsky | Mar 4, 05:06 PMGlad I found your web site. I have a 22 year old son in Bible College. He is a great Drummer. Especially likes Jazz and is currently in a praise and worship band on campus at Briercrest Bible College in Caronport, Saskatchewan, Canada. A geat place. He is planning to audition for the drummers position on the band Elevate that originated from that college. He is doubting his ability, even said to me ” I’m JUST A DRUMMER”. Can you offer some words of encouragement for him? You seem like the right person to ask. We belong to Lakeside Baptist Church in Kenora, Ontario, Canada. Greg plays drums there every Sunday he’s in town!! He’s a great guy, just sometimes loses focus on who he is, and doubts his own abilities. I love him.
Ulysses | Mar 27, 12:12 AMHey bro, i was artist roster “hopping’ and I saw u’re with them now. Bro, I’m happy for u!!
Do Ya thing!
God Bless
Dave Miller | Apr 3, 06:30 PMHi Ottis,
You are scheduled to perform at the 27th Alcorn State University Jazz Festival in Vicksburg, Mississippi on April 21, 2007 with the Joe Lovano Quartet. I noticed that you had endorsements listed on your site. Is there any chance that those endorsers would supply you with a set for the gig (as has been the case for many of our past guest artist drummers?)
If so, please send me the necessary contact info to set that up.
Looking forward to having you here to perform!
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Dave Miller,
Festival Director
