I didn't know if everyone knew or not. Robert Bingham was the lead guitarist for Black oak Arkansas in the 80s. He passed away in September. He was a good man and a good friend. He was my friend for 35 years. He lived right here in Middle Tennessee. He was the best guitarist I'd ever seen live or on recording. He was having a rough time anyway he was very close with his family and his mom and his sister and his nephew all passed away in the few months before his death. He was a good friend and I will miss him. I hope you're still rocking on in the afterlife my friend.

Im from Fayetteville, NC and also lived in Oregon. The old Cumberland County auditorium only held about 5000 or so though if I remember right. But they did manage to get a lot of top tier concerts there in the 70s and very early 80s. The concerts held there really tapered off however by the mid 80s. Good memories.

Black Oak Arkansas was REALLY BIG back in the early to mid 70’s...Yes, Jim Dandy influenced David Lee Roth...they could have passed for brothers! It’s amazing how now Black Oak is almost forgotten. I worked at a club that Ruby Starr and her band played at after she left Black Oak to go solo. Ruby was, without a doubt, one of the most DYNAMIC singers I have ever seen... She literally COMMANDED the stage! P.S. Ruby was an admirer of Janis Joplin...I can see why!

This was in 1975 or 1976 when Jim Dandy was popular. Back then the drinking age was 18 and the IDs had no picture. We got in. Story was that old wooden rink was on some sort of springs.

They were a great band to see live. They were backup along with Brownsville Station at a Johnny Winter concert I attended in Vancouver BC around 1973. BOA stole the show, first time I had ever heard of them. They were so well received in Vancouver, they returned and I seen them again about a year later.

Black Oak Arkansas was the opening act for Black Sabbath in Asbury Park, NJ in the Summer of 1972. I was in 3rd row center. There was no lady in the band, and the guys dressed totally differently, too. I remember the black equipment crates on stage with the name of the band and an address for them (or their mgmt company) on Beverly Boulevard in Beverly HIlls, California.

Back in the late seventies, Ruby Star and the Grey Band would come to a small club in my home town in Wisconsin. We never missed an opportunity to spend an evening with her. Rest In Peace, sweet lady.

Dave Arndt -Thanks Dave. I was watching and thinking, Ruby Starr, Ruby Starr, where do I know that name? Of course, seeing her in Wisconsin with the Grey Band! Met her in the ladies room at a venue in Milwaukee and she was so tiny and approachable. Good memories.
