Here's a link to Roscoe's website. Be sure to stop in and say hey! www.ericambel.com/

Hank is a Martin D-28 and not a D-45. Roscoe just misspoke like we all do sometimes. Lets not make a big deal out of it.

I just love hearing stories where people are happy. We need an awful lot more to balance the noise in the world!

I read about Neil owning Hank's guitar a few years ago....the best dream I ever had, was that I met Neil Young. I mentioned how cool it was that he owned Hank's guitar. Before I knew it, he came back and handed me the guitar to play. I started crying as I strummed those strings. I woke up. It was a good dream.

in part Eric, him speaking , reminds me of Neil Young [tone and intonation] in the fashion he speaks, and the way he uses his voice.

What a trip. Super funny, great jam.

Crooked Line. One of my favorite albums.

We need a knob for more Roscoe.

This was the best Neil Young story yet! Thank you!

I saw Neil Young on a TV show, where he was surrounded by about 9 different acoustic guitars, and each song he played, he used a different guitar. Each one gave a completely different tone, sound and vibe. Talk about a Master. Neil is the Ninja of the accoustic guitar.

Eric Amble helped me survive the 80s!!

Neil Young is more than a musician he is an artist and not for the faint of heart.

Thanks Otis! Great Neil stories, so real. Eric is hilarious and he knows how to paint a picture! One of your best✌ " They asked me to stay, I gotta stay..."

The best, most honest and heart felt music related video on KZfaq. SO GREAT that you captured this and posted for the world. KUDOS OTIS!

Thanks for this story. I've been following Roscoe for a while, after hearing his wife's tape recording Blood on the Tracks (see also Mary Lee's Corvette). I just loved the ending of the story. Now...off to find some Ohio Blue Tip matches and Crooked Line. Cheers.

Otis Gibbs, Hello Friend, your after my own heart with Neil Young, to me he is #1 in my eyes as a acoustic guitar and folk type music, thanks to your friend

So much to learn--NS10s!!

Ah! Great story! Thank you, Otis! 🙏 Much thanks to "Roscoe" for the great story. Love me some Neil Young 💛🤍 Be good to you! 🤍💛

Love this. Great story and thank you for sharing. I'm also a big Neil Young fan. How cool that you got to work with him and hang. So cool, congrats!!

An absolutely fabulous interview regarding the backstories of one of my heros

The sheer and utter joy emitting from Roscoe as he spins this tale of hero worship is one of the best things I have ever seen on the internet. I mean every word of that in the best possible way. Generally, one never believes for a moment that one could possibly meet the people who, without ever knowing you, have such an impact on your life. It is clear the effect this encounter had on him and the lasting impression it made. And Roscoe being a person who does not at all come across as "star struck". Clearly a dude who had been around more than his fair share of famous people. Otis, your channel is great! Not being all that much of a country fan, it is through your channel that I became familiar with Kenny Vaughan's playing and he has become one of my favorite musicians to enjoy. Thanks again for your creating this channel and keep up the excellent work!

That was awesome!

What a great and funny story. I really like Neil’s music and style too. Different by design. I saw him and crazy horse around 1987 in Dallas during their garage band tour. Awesome

One of the best interviews yet. I nominate Neil Young as most interesting man in the world after this interview. Owning Hank William’s guitar is enough on its own. Thanks guys for the great stories

Been following Eric since his 80's Del Lords days. What a great NYC roots rock band that was. And he's done so much great stuff since then both playing and producing. Look forward to hearing more from him. So many interviewers get in the way of the person they interview. I love the way you just sit back and let them tell their story.

First heard Neil’s 1st record in high school, started playing guitar after hearing “Cowgirl in the Sand” on 4 Way Street, saw Neil in concert , Linda Ronstadt was the opening act ( with Henley &Frey). I can still kinda get into my patched jeans… Loved this interview, thanks so much!

I really miss my D-28. ❤️ Best acoustic guitar I every owned.

What an experience to have hanging out and working with your hero.

Great story-its awesome to know that Neil is an artist chasing the muse in an authentic way no matter what the project. 100% inspiring.

Even though I am not a musician and know nothing about instruments nor equipment, I really enjoyed this story and not only because I'm a Neil fan. Great story about a very memorable event.

I love these stories ,

That's my tombstone got it great PURE GOLD

Wow, now Eric Ambel! You've got the best musicians as friends! I'd like to hear more stories from Roscoe. He must have lots of them!

Genuinely Authentically Fantastic. Great Editing also .... just super fun. Thank you again Otis!

Thank you so much for this.

A great interview, and love the Batavia, IL mention! Eric is a great storyteller and was always extremely knowledgeable and helpful when I used to frequent the Dr. Z amps forum.

Your stories and interviews are so good! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for what you do, and for being Otis.

This was truly an enjoyable listen.......thank you friends.

That was the best one, Otis. Made me chuckle.

Wow. That was a real treat. Incredible retelling of that amazing time. Always loved Neil, then when I heard "On the Beach" I realized just how truly amazing Neil Young is as an artist. Thank you!

Neil has always been authentically Neil . I love that he has his NS10s in hand rubbed wooden cabinets .

I love this, Otis (and Eric)--thanks.

Thank you guys. That’s good stuff.

This is a great story thank you so much for sharing. So awesome!

Love the storytelling. Learning something new. Great job.

Huge Neil Young fan but also Steve Earle, Bottle Rockets and Blue Mountain. I bet he has great stories on those guys. "Dog Days" by Blue Mountain is my favorite album of all time. Roscoe produced and played on it. Thanks Otis for bringing all this to us music lovers. Can't find this great stuff anywhere else.

Wonderful description of the gear!

Damn good one man.

really outstanding,,,,,thanks..... it picked me up!!!!!

Great Stories! I love Neil.

Hey Roscoe..! And Otis.! This is the second.. and probably not the last.. time that I’m watching..listening..and lovin this story..!! I have the scenes in my head and fantasizing that I was there… just a fly on the wall… and it’s very cool..👍🏼❤️

Your channel always has great stories and that was a particularly great one.

So good I had to watch it twice! Nice one

You’re such a great story teller. Awesome

To record Neil would be great in itself. To only be in the presence of Hank’s guitar would be awesome,not to mention having the privilege to play it. Otis, you thanked me a while back “for giving a damn”. That I do. While shooting pool earlier in the week, a young lady plugged the jukebox. She asked me to choose the songs. I was gonna turn them on to your music. I don’t understand how all that works, but, this new-fangled rig didn’t have your music in it. I told them it was BS that your works aren’t recognized & ask their vendor about it. You’ve paid your dues & continue. I do give a damn !!

Oh man.....sooo gooood!

Fantastic!!! I'm a Neil Young fan, and this is all so cool to hear. thanks so much for posting.

Great Neil Young story. Eric seemed just as much on cloud 9 telling the story as I am sure he was when it happened!

Crazy, am listening to this while driving to work And then he says "I'm from a small town outside Chicago called Batavia. I was on my way to Batavia when he said that. Mind blown

Hi Otis. This is a top story. Big Neil fan. Thank you for this as always.

What an awesome guy, love this video so much!! His story is gold, and his appreciation

Otis..! That is one bad ass cool story..!! Thanks Otis..and Eric.!👍🏼❤️

What a great video! Neil is definitely one of my heroes and Eric is no slouch. Great job Otis!

Having a Hank owned anything would be really cool. Cool interview.

Great story, thanks!

Awesome story! so cool!

Hank Williams' herringbone D-28 is in the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.

Otis, Larry Cragg would be an interesting dude to interview. He’s pretty out there. He also has a massive collection of guitars and amps he supplies to top talent when they record here in the Bay. Also was one of the first guys to get into what became the sport of mountain biking in Marin County. Still has a little workshop in Marin.

I think that Neil bought his ranch on the strength of his sales of "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" and "After The Gold Rush." He was already living out there by the time he recorded "Harvest," and a photo of him and the Stray Gators playing in the barn our there is depicted on the back of the album cover.

If you want to see Neil in a barn, this is a wonderful film. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8idnsicmtCahqc.html

MOR NEIL...MOR ROSCOE! Thanks Otis

The reason for The hard R is he is from Canada and in parts of the open plains they talk similar to the Northern USA Plains from Upper Nebraska up and Western parts of the Midwest if you got to ever hear a person from there, Corb Lund and his band with his wife called Corb Lund is very similar.

What a great story, Neil Young sounds like a really interesting guy.

" I'd just been married about a year, and I thought, what if they ask me to stay? I'd have to call home and say I gotta stay". Ha ha. I've been a lifelong Neil Young fan. I've seen him 5 times and the songs he plays on that Martin guitar have always been my favorites.

Great story. I've always been fascinated by Don Grungio. Love the vids

That barn studio is my end game. Holy grail. 🥹

"Imagine if you liked equipment, and didn't have to sell any to get more equipment", hilarious........only rock stars know that feeling.

Hey there Otis, Someone else may have already chimmed in about the Movie Link you posted: "Neil Young & Crazy Horse-A Band Of Brotherhood-A Barn". That's not the same Barn that Roscoe is talking about when he was at Neil's long-standing California "Broken Arrow Ranch", outside of Redwood City and San Francisco. The Barn in the New Movie, "A Band Of Brotherhood-A Barn", is on Neil's newer Colorado Ranch, where Neil and Daryl Hannah live part of the year. They also recently purchased a 117-year-old cottage on a lake near his hometown of Omemee, in Ontario, Canada. According to Neil, he and Daryl "moved back to Canada to an old cottage on the lake" sometime after September 2020. He uses the place as a bit of an isolation chamber. I haven't been able to glean any information about what Neil has done with his Broken Arrow Ranch that he gave to his late wife Pegi, just before she passed in 2016. I'm sure he still owns it, considering all the possessions he had stored there. I believe his son Ben may still be living at Broken Arrow with his caregivers? Anyway, different Barns, but BOTH are set up for makin' great music. His whole recent latest album, simply called "Barn", is where he recorded it with Crazy Horse 🐎, (with Nils Lofgren back replacing Frank "Poncho" Sampedro, on Guitar, Piano and Accordian in The Horse. Anyway, just thought some folks might find that tid bit informative?

More barn? Less barn? We need to know!

Neil Young is one of my favorite artists. He’s just cool. He’s just a great songwriter and performer and I’d reckon a great human as well. I’d love to see this place and hang out with him. Now that’d be cool

This is priceless.

Just finished up with my D28, working on some new material....and then I visit Otis on my break. Fantastic!🎶💥🎶💥🎶

Never ending awesome stories ❤️

BEST ANALOGY, FOR PASSING A JOINT... EVER 🤣💜

Thanks

Awesome. Truly.

I have always seen Eric’s name in the liner notes on The Bottle Rockets’ albums. It’s great to put a face to the name. I don’t think I knew that he was from the Chicago area. Interesting Neil Young story. Sounds like Neil is doing pretty good for himself.

Incredible

More Barn!

Awesome story!

I love Neil Young and his music. I've been trying for years to play the acoustic guitar like Neil does, and I'm still working on it...maybe someday.....

I have seen him play that guitar onstage. He told us about the guitar, and did a few songs on it. The tone was like no other.

I love this story

So great to see Roscoe...such a great player himself, so fun to hear him speak as a fan likre the rest of us.Terriffic, thanks Otis

Ha! Roscoe is my dear friend. He's got some great stories.

Great tales, delivered by gregarious individual who gets to meet his hero, excellent vid'.

Nothing I can say that hasn’t been said,, Thanks Otis!
