    Saw Black Oak Arkansas in October 1971.. supporting Grand Funk Railroad at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas.. on 10-17-1971 and never heard of BOC. It was loud as Hell and they kicked total ass.... then, GFR came out and did the same, finishing us all off. My very first concert... I was turning 13 on the 27th and this was part of my birthday present. I was a HUGE GFR fan so, this was one special treat.

    Jim had a way of pulling you in. I didn't dig all of BOA's music but watching Jim strutting and singing had me grinning. He seemed like he was having fun
    and isn't that a big part of rock & roll? I'm digging the philosophical Jim Dandy here.

    I met Jim Dandy with a good friend in a parking lot during a load in at the FedEx Forum. My friend had known him for years. We sat in my friend's Trailblazer and laughed at things that happened to him in the past years. He was extremely nice and kept us in stitches. As of last year, that friend has passed. RIP " Chief". I'll never forget everything you taught me. I still think of Chief everyday.

    One of my favorite bands. Loved Jim Dandy and Black Oak Arkansas.
    Always a favorite 8-track in my Craig power-play stereo in my old Chevy. back in the 70's/80's. .With my crew. Finally got to see them play live at Sturgis at Buffalo chips in the mid 80's Jim Dandy hit
    The stage shirtless wearing white fringed leather pants with 2 strippers
    Wearing nothing but white fringed go-go boots. Singing Hot and Nasty.
    Best concert I ever saw. Favorite songs Backdoor man, Gravel roads, older than Grandpa,
    Good Stuff, just a few. There's many more. When I was a teen I had to steal my B.O.A records back from my Mom she loved Jim Dandy's voice. God rest her and God bless Jim Dandy and Black Oak Arkansas!

    Wow!! The great Jim Dandy!! What a great entertainer. I remember as a kid watching him on TV , I don't know if it was Don Kirshner's rock concert or the Midnight Special, maybe somethin else, But I was fascinated by the way he preened and patrolled the stage. At the time he was the Southern version of Mick Jagger and over time he was the prototype to David Lee Roth. The GREAT JIM DANDY!

And told us about how the picture on the front of the album came about. In other words he made you feel like you and him were friends. I been listening to this man since I was 14 years old and am 63 now and I haven't looked back. Even after Aldridge talk $hit. As far as am concerned Aldridge should be on his knees thanking this man and the band after writing this, I feel I should say. Am not gay. I just really dig boa!!

    Jim is still looking good and healthy. It's nice to see a rocker from back in the day who still has his brain intact! Thank you for posting!

    I saw your Dad and Black Oak Arkansas at Canoga Park high school 4th period they played the boys gym! (1hour)
    Cost $1 AND No 4th period class !!! 😘
    I said directly in front of your dad's mic stand and was fixed on Tommy Aldridge I was drumming then in a band with a bunch of guys in their 20s /30s cover band we played bars and little clubs I'd always have to get snuck in but Tommy Aldridge the whole band just kicked my ass it was an epic life-changing experience I kid you not Piper! 🌟

    A friend played bass guitar with Black Oak Arkansas, the legendary, George H.
    George is one of the most solid bass guitarists ever.
    Used to see BOA on Dixon St in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Fun times!!
    Jim Dandy rocks like no other. Still remember his silver star belt buckle. Thanks for the great times.

    "...Can't be young and wise at the same time" I can relate. Jim sounds spiritual and, of course, I knew that although I never met him. But, reflecting on my own Christian upbringing as a child, I could tell the signs through the BOA albums and lyrics. "The Halls of Common" was one, "Keep the Faith" with the album cover of the Bible on the shelf another. I'm sure there's more I missed or can't remember. I rarely missed a BOA show when they came to Charlotte or a nearby raceway. I had my own Halls of Common experience, but it was during an Allman Bros show in the early 70s. Lord, have mercy, I took some trips in those days. How I survived to this day is a miracle, no question about it. My mother kept me out of trouble the best she could, so I can thank her for that. We all go through our trials but you don't have any secrets safe from your mother or your Father. You know what I'm talking about, Ms Piper?

    I love these videos of your dad. I was hooked on BOA when I saw my first concert in 74 at the California Jam and then saw them a few weeks later on Mothers Day. It is so nice to see how down to earth he is. Your dad and Rickie make a great team.

    Piper, once again your Dad made me smile. He simply tells it how he sees it. "They" say, I have no filter either... Shoot, filters are for engines and vacuums. ❤ truly enjoy these videos thank you ma'am
