1. The only time I saw him, Tommy Aldridge was his drummer. I couldn't believe

that. He's one of the all-time greats. I'm glad it wasn't him. I'm sure he wouldn't stoop that low these days. Ted was on a pretty big tour opening for Kiss when I saw him. The Kiss Farewell ( this time we really mean it) tour. One of those with the original band.

Aldridge was first with Black Oak Arkansas, the first concert I ever saw. You might not like them with Jim Dandy's singing, but what a show! I'm one of the few I know that still listens to those guys. There is some great playing on those old Black Oak albums. People forget how huge they were for a stretch there in the 70's. For one three album run they were actually number seven in the world in sales and they played everywhere.

2. Black Oak Arkansas were a great surrealistic hard rock band (kinda like the Stooges as a guitar army

They were also the first rock band to set up voter registration tables at their gigs. And they encouraged their audiences to vote Democrat!

3. Jim Dandy to the rescue....go Jim Dandy, Go...

been listening to BOA since they started playing....

4. I always thought that "Ain't Life Grand" album was their finest. Jim Dandy had

learned to just use his natural voice more by then. It came toward the end of their glory days. Still the original band but playing smaller gigs. That's how I got to see them. I never understood how their "Backdoor Man" song wasn't huge. Very poor promotion to let that one not hit big.

I went to see them a few years back on the Wild Bunch tour. He had Rocky Athas with him. I went more out of respect than anything but was impressed. We hung out after the show and met Jim Dandy and some of the band. What a great guy. He was still there signing autographs and telling stories for over an hour. His kid was pretty cool too.

5. Last time I saw Black Oak, Jim blew me away with Grand Funks "Heartbreaker"!

Dedicated to Miss Ruby Starr. He said they were great friends all through the years and talked every day right to the end. She died in '95 of lung cancer. He belted out Heartbreaker in his natural baritone and I actually got a little misty eyed.
