In cherished memory of a wonderful friend and happy days in Chapel Hill. The Raleigh, NC-based Band of Oz with John Thompson in the lead sing "Over The Rainbow".
@MrSoutherndrummer BWHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH hey they are still good but withought my grandpa they are no where as good as they used to be
Jungledrum123...... "punks" is what you call them without John???? he was a big part of the band but they moved on and re-tooled when he left and they are as TIGHT as any band I've ever heard in any genre. Curious ..are you a musician?? Do you earn your living from music??
If so you must be starving cause the way you refer to this band proves you don't know much about music in the first place.. ..when you grow up you'll appreciate true talent when you hear it.......have a good day son
Hard to believe that it was 47 years ago when I called you on the phone and begged you to stand in on an audition. From there you moved on and produced beautiful Music. Sorry to hear you are sick. Your friend..Steve R
Big John is no longer with these punks. It's like hiring The Temptations without David Ruffin. I seen this band in 04 and in 09 and I think they would be lost if they had to learn anythingelse.
Big John is the best I hope he is doing ok I heard an interview with him on 770 am in Rockingham right arounf Fall SOS when we were coming home I love to hear Him sing Long Live Beach Music
