James..........oh yeah..........(big smile)

I'm sorry y'all, but I am still light headed over watching this performance from James here. I don't think that a bucket of cold water on my head would help right now either. Maybe later. (smiles)

God bless you and James always!!!

I'm so excited!

I just can't tell you how excited I am to be joining two of my fellow ottomaniacs for a concert together to see James. Jenn and Amy are just awesome friends. I am so appreciative to James and his music for bringing us together. I don't think I have ever had better friends than Amy and Jenn. Wow It's only a month away! We got alot of planning to do. LOL James won't know what to think of us! We are gonna rock out the house that night!

WAY COOL

That is great when Otto brings people together! Hopefully it wont be long before there can be a big bunch of us in one place.

Exciting News for me and two other Ottomaniacs!! OMG!!

Because of James, I have made two of the best friends I have ever had! Amy (from SD) and Kerrie (from Ga.) We live far away from each other, so we've never met. Well, on August 23rd, Amy is flying in from SD, and Kerrie is driving almost 7 hours up from Ga. and we are all going to the Otto show together in SC!!! It will be a Muzik Mafia show, so its going to be very awesome!! I can't wait!
I get to meet my two best friends AND see James all in one day! This is so exciting!!!

P.S. Is there anything that James CAN'T sing???..........I DON'T THINK SO!!! (SCREAMS)

I'm glad that someone has an idea about it because I don't.

Of course I have heard of Van Morrison, but I don't know the person's music, so if I have ever heard that song from them before, I didn't know it well enough to remember what it sounds like or any of the words.

God bless you and James always!!!

Holly in East Tennessee

I can just imagine that!

James will do an awesome job on that song! OMG! I'm listening to Van Morrison sing it right now and James will totally rock it! I can't wait to hear it.

James is singing a song named "Into the Mystic" for a new album!

I googled for the latest news today and found this! (smiles)

Okay, what is going on in that mind of his? (smiles)

To me, there isn't a thing wrong with his voice! To me, we are just not hearing it enough, thats all. (smiles)

God bless you and James always!!!

Fear......

....can be good!

Im glad I can be around so much more now! Hopefully it wont be another 4+ years before our paths cross again. You know "stuff" got in the way of the fun but now its time to get back to the OTTOMANIA! The JO section of my ipod was actually part of that "stuff" (needles bad-Otto GOOD). Cant wait until 9/8, THE OTTO SHOW gonna be in my area for the first time in 2yrs!

~As for the four legged Otto (aka the great white dope) she is almost 4 now and I am still kicking myself for not sending her picture in to be part of the For You fan video. After I give her a bath Ill try to get a new pic up.

Thank You!

Thanks for the info on the taping Ottonut! Glad to hear that it all went pretty well but sorry that the Ottomaniacs were seated so far back! I would've been bummed about that too! James wanted a redo? His voice is amazing, I can't imagine that but he must have wanted it perfect and that's great!!! :)

Fear

I think that they fear the Ottomaniacs.....which they probably should! Glad that you had a good time, I can't wait to see it air.

~ Michelle ~

P.S. It's really nice to see so much of you around! You were missed! Do you still have Otto the dog? If so, we probably need an updated picture.

GAC Taping

Well that was quick! Each only did 4 songs, but had do overs for the sake of tv. James ended up spending the least amount of time on stage partly because Chuck and Ashton both also redid their introduction, again for the sake of the telly. Guess everyone was more excited to see James!? He did Good Ol Days, Just Got Started, Drink n Dial, and LUCKY ME the song he redid was For You. It about knocked me otto my chair when James brought up a redo cause, I believe the words he used were, "vocal misses"! The tv people seemed happy with it and I sure as heck didnt hear anything off! They had Chuck redo his current song and Im pretty sure Ashton ended up doing 2 two times but James wasnt happy with HIS VOICE! Like I said me and the chair about parted ways. Anyway the non performance part of the show is gonna be him spending time with an Opry member. I didnt hear a mention of who James was paired with but for example Rodney Atkins is in the next one and hes gonna spend a day with Charlie Daniels for that show. That girl Julianne from Dancing With The Stars was there, guess she has good taste. There was a thing that wasnt fantabulous besides James being the one doing the least amount of stage time. Im still shaking my head in confusion on how they seated people.... it worked out that those of use who hit our feet when James was introduced and were the most receptive to him yep you guessed it the last 4 rows!

You are so welcome! (smiles)

I pray that you have a safe and wonderful night and when you can please tell us all about your beautiful blessing! (smiles)

God bless you and James always!!!

Holly in East Tennessee

What a great idea. I never

What a great idea. I never would have thought of that!!!! Thanks so much Holly.

Dear Hannah,

Thanks for letting your mommy and daddy come out tonight to see me. I look forward to when I can see you, but until then, I hope that this picture will do. **Or something like that**

My 10 year old neice has her Otto pic in a frame beside her bed. I fear that we've ruined that child for life. No one else will come close to her Otto man!! Well.....maybe she gets it from me, who's ruined her mom, then my brother, then my kids.....well, you get the picture. It's really NOT a bad thing! LOL

Enjoy the show!

~ Michelle ~

I have an idea on how to make it up to your little one! (smiles)

If she is not able to go with you to see James, should you be able to meet him, arrange to have James talk to her over the phone if that can be done. (smiles)

God bless you and James and your little one always!!!

Holly in East Tennessee

HA!

That'd be fun!

Ottonut....Can ya...

swing by Indy and pick me up?!!! HA! Might be a tad OTTO your way, but ......LOL Ya know I am just teasin! Have a great time and don't forget to tell us about it!

Concert Opener

As an opener for the "Headliners" how long does James' set last?

Guilty Conscience :(

Just got to share with you all. Although I am beside myself with excitement about the show on Thurs. in Orange Beach, I am beginning to feel so guilty. My 10 yr old daughter, Hannah, is also a big James Otto fan. (Hannah just happens to have Down syndrome, so her speech is a just a little different from other "normal" 10 yr olds and it's so funny to hear her say "James Otto") Her favorite song is Ain't Gonna Stop. Anyway, I've had to keep it from her that her dad and I are going Thurs. to see Otto b/c I know she would be mad at me for not taking her. If you mom's were in my shoes, what would you do by way of making it up to her when she finally finds out where we've been. Hannah is very smart and pays attention to detail, so she will find out, it's just a matter of when. LOL!! Thanks for your input.

Thanks Michelle

I can hardly wait until Friday. There is a bar near the concert where a lot of the country singers go after the concert and jam. I am hoping he will go there. Will be leaving the concert before the "Headliners" are finished just to make sure to be there in case.

After My Own Heart

You sound like a girl after my own heart. I go to shows most of the time to see the openers, not the headliners. Now when James becomes the headliner, I'm sure that my tune will change!

Look for him possibly around the merchandise booth and get your Otto-graph and picture. I'm not sure that he'll be there, but that's where I'd lay my money, if I were a betting girl! ;o)

Have fun at your shows and came back to tell us all about it!

Help

Hi,
So many of you have been fortunate enough to meet James in person. Any pointers on how to do this. He is going to be in Concert in Tampa on Friday and we would love to meet him. Brooks and Dunn are the headliners, but we are going to see James. Thanks in advance for any help.

I would LOVE to see James do CMT Crossroads sometime! (smiles)

Since James sings "Night Moves" in his shows already, I think that Bob Seger should be the one to sing with him! (smiles)

God bless you and James and his rock favorite always!!!

In Color

I LUUUVVVSSS me some Jamey Johnson and think someone was watching over his shoulder when they wrote that song cause its finally showing people hes way more than one heck of a writer but, I too would love to hear James do that thand he do with it!

PS Ill be on here as soon as my eyeballs can handle the puter screen after a shot-o-OTTO!
