I just want everybody to know that we have thanks for giving a damn t-shirts back in stock at Otisgibs.com.

You guys bought a bunch of them, and we ran out for a little bit, but now we have a ton of them,

and we'll mail them to you from our living room to yours. All of the proceeds go to a non-profit

organization that's very near and dear to my heart. It's called the Save the Otis Foundation.

Its mission is to keep at-risk folk singers in a loving home

surrounded by the people who care about him most. And with your help, we can make this possible.

Music Hi, friends, this is Otis Gibbs, and you're listening to Thanks for Giving a Dam.

I'm sitting here in my living room in East Nashville.

This is a personal journal.

This is a bit of an experiment.

I like to say right up front that I haven't the slightest idea of what I'm doing, but I decided to do it anyway. This show was founded with the idea that there are only two people in art that matter.

There's a creative individual and the person experiencing it. And everything else is an artificial

filter. This is a way for me to share things with you guys without any filters whatsoever.

My guess this week is GERF Morlix.

GERF is a singer, a songwriter, a guitar player, and one of my favorite producers.

You can find out everything you need to know about GERF at GERFMorlix.com.

This is actually the second time GERF has been on the show.

The first time he was on, he told a lot of great stories about Towns Van Zant and Blaise Foley.

I urge you to look that up.

It was episode 26.

You can find out on the SoundCloud player at Otis Gibbs.com.

I've wanted to do this episode for about a year and a half when I found out that GERF was a huge fan of Marty Robbins' album, Gunfighter Ballads, and Trail Songs.
