      When I think of Black Oak Arkansas drummer I think of Tommy Aldridge. Believe I saw them perform in Tulsa, OK as a teenager, we had a live rock “n” roll club where the up and coming bands would perform and “get their feet wet.” Great memories that are just a little hazy now ha! Is Johnny still alive? So sad about his brothers early demise. I’ve got the album “Teaser” on my wishlist - read that jazz musician David Sanborn who just passed away at age 78 - played on it. Loved David’s music too may he R.I.P. 🎷🤍🤍

    In a 1975 article, Bolin called himself an entirely self-taught guitarist who plays by ear, stating, "I only ever had four lessons. I don't know any scales at all. I know what to play, but don't know any scales because I never bothered to learn any."
    I've thought learning scales assures you will play like everyone else.

    It’s interesting that the lead guitarist is playing intermittent slide guitar. I played for quite a few years but mostly classical. But I’m wondering if you could get some similar sounds on a fretless guitar? You should be able to play tweener notes that way too although I’ve never played one of those either. I think fretless would be hard but there are advantages.

    I wish he could play electric live like this with Deep Purple. Ian Paice said Bolin was superb in the studio, but live performances with Purple were.. Like Hughes said, the tour was horrendously wrong. Purple could have continued after 1976, the UK audience would have accepted him, if not for Bolin and Hughes substance problems. RIP Tommy Bolin
