Mick Fleetwood took me to Ghana

Great stories, it's a shame that Mick later ensured Bob Welch wasn't included in the RnR HoF induction. Will have to look out for The Visitor.

Great interview!

This channel is amazing. Why has it not reached a million suubs?

Yes, ’Shufflers and Bluesmen’ will always perk up ears to settle my mind. ☮ These stories and remembrances will help document music that previously were only in the minds of those who were there to experience it.

I am jealous

I could listen to Mr Sharp for hours what a amazing life. He tales these stories with clarity , detail and humbleness. And Otis you never get in the way you just fluidly pull these incredible stories out of these extraordinary musicians. Thank You both.

Mick Fleetwood/ The Visitor

In 1978, my college roommate had just arrived from Nigeria and proclaimed his favorite kind of music was High Life, but we wouldn't know what it was because we would never have heard it. One night, I played Live Dead and when Turn On Your Love Light came on, he broke into my room screaming, "where did you get this High Life music? This is explosive!" I took him and his brother to see the Dead when they came to town and they destroyed their seats.

Super Awesome story Otis and thank you Todd ! 🐿️😎🐿️

Great interview. Been loving your channel for 3 years.

I believe Richard Bailey is from Ghana. Amazing drummer.

I just watched those fabulous drummers in Ghana Young kids singing and dancing so great

AWESOME!!

Wonderful! Thank you fellas.

I’m about to listen to shake. My interest is peaking!!

Admittedly I’ve only seen a handful of these videos, but this is my favorite so far by far!!!! Fantastic story, and its great to hear Todd talking about the high quality of musicians who are unknown to most of the world. That can often be so overlooked. I remember when the album The Visitor was released but I never heard it. Definitely going to check it out now.

Not nearly enough info to be found on Bob Welch. A person I’ve been fascinated by him for years

Besides the great stories for their own sake, there's a lot of food for thought in Todd's observations. Thanks.

Wait a sec, This version of Rattlesnake has Peter Green on it??? Was he There too or was it dubbed later?

I grew up on FMac too. All the blues stuff and Rumors and otherwise up until Tusk. Bob Welch solo was one of my favorites too. I bought the Caljam 2 8track in 1977 (8). Also, had the film from it and saw it “live” on the TV. This is such great stuff. Also, my second “concert” was Hall and Oates at Six Flags over Ga. Next time I’m in Nashville, I wanna talk with Todd about a portable acoustic amp. I’m outfitted in every way imaginable, except for that one thing, for mandolin and guitar. I’d love to be able to replace my heavy-ish acoustic amp with an amp made for my needs. Thanks Otis yet again.

Todd Sharp is the Forrest Gump of my entire album collection and music taste... holy smokes the guy "found" himself EVERYWHERE!

Thank you Todd & Otis

Has this guy ever detested working with anyone ?

What a fantastic video. I worked for a company called Express Sound in Costa Mesa CA and we put together - with Randy Ezratty, the sound engineer on this project - the recording system that was shipped to Africa. It was such a cool experience for me to be a tiny part of it. I remember cutting a Sound Workshop mixing console into three pieces so it would fit in cases and the airline container, hearing "well, there goes the warranty" from several folks. I never really heard much about the actual recording so hearing Todd Sharp's recollection is just great. Thanks for this!

I hope you have more of the Todd interview to share. He has such amazing stories and tells them so well! 😊

best interview on this amazing channel . INSPIRING ! thanks

Todd is a fascinating dude...great stories!

Wow! Loved this

I am enjoying this interviews. The one with Rod and mention of Lon John, was fun to hear too.However, I should of zigged but I zagged. In early 70's I could of gone anywhere. I was young and my folks died young, siblings all older than me and had family-so I set out. I went to FLORIDA . California was the first thought, London the second...Oh well. Thanks for the memories

I would bet that more people heard of bob weir than bob Welch 🤷

Great story Otis, Where else but Ghana? Right on Man ! Thanks Again, Next please . Haha!

Where it comes from. ❤❤

i bought kiln house at a thrift shop years ago. i effin' love that record.

Thanks for the storytelling Otis, and Todd!

Watched the Cal Jam 2 video. Awesome guitar solo by a handsome and boyish looking Todd

Beautiful stories from other places and perspectives.

Dang.
Quite the adventure and experience! Great interview!

Thanks, y'all 🙏🏻🤍

Of all the great interviews you’ve posted, this guy has to be the most intriguing. How does one person have so many lifetime experiences?

this guy is cool as shit

Awesome! 👍🏻

That Mick Fleetwood album, THE VISITOR, is all over the place musically, but does have 3 very interesting & worthwhile "African-influenced" tracks. I still listen to "Superbrains" a lot. Great interview - thanks for sharing.

Absolutely FANTASTIC. Listening to West African music now. High Life!

This is gold. Thank you

Mick acted in several Star Trek TNG episodes, Mr. Hohm(?). He didn't speak but sure used those expressions Todd talks about.

It was originally called “Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac” Peter was nice enough to include them in the name,

More awesome stories from Todd! Thanks to you both for sharing these on the worldly pipe!

I seen Mick F coming out of a starbucks in Whis. I had no idea who he was but I knew he was a rock star. He had the custom embroidered jeans and the 50 something AND 20 something chicks both with him. The staff told me, "That was Mick fleetwood".
