Big Otis at the Cooley Wedding

We couldn't make Brett and Crystal Cooley's wedding in Houston last weekend, but Tom sent this report:

"Thought about my friends that couldn’t be at Brett’s wedding this weekend while I was at the reception. It turns out that Crystal had some connections (would take too long to explain) that linked her up with a band that was awesome. All the Motown, Temptations, Sam & Dave, etc. sounds—brass included. Big Otis (band leader) was at our rehearsal party, and talking to him really took me back tune-wise. You would have been in your element—wish you could have been there for the fun. In absence of that, I’m attaching a couple of links to his music. Hope it takes you back. Big Otis even got me on the dance floor, which is one hell of a chore—I kind of expected it though, so I quickly loosened up with a few beers in the first five minutes or so of the reception (reminded me of those “primers” we used to experience at USD.)"

Download these Big Otis songs. Top drawer, and they'll take you back:
