I believe I was the only one among my peers that listened to Black Oak Arkansas. I remember having my deed to a piece of their mountain.

 

I often wondered how much money they collected , it was what ? a dollar for a square inch or some thing like that ?/

Wonder if they even still live there , it was literally a compound they lived in ..

It came in one of the albums.

They had 10 albums chart in the 1970s, and there 1974 tour grossed 2 million according to a Google search.

Man. From about 75 to 80 we spent every summer vacation at my Aunts house on Bald Top mountain in NC.
To say the place is haunted would be a huge understatement. Every time I heard it was that time again I would DREAD the shit out of it.
My folks and Aunt/Uncle would go out on the town several times during the visit and a lot of times I was left in this haunted house alone. A LOT of crazy shit happened in that house and the surrounding area. Cabinet doors would open and close,. I would hear the old oven door springs open then the door slam shut, Id hear the piano play and the cover on keys slam up and down repeatedly. Saw a group of pallbearers carry a coffin across the yard. We were playing with my Uncles Hunting dog pups in the dog pens and my cousin and I looked up, right outside the pen we saw an Indian sitting on a horse in full dress like he just stepped out of the 1780s, a tree branch fell behind us, we jumped and looked back around and he was gone. Saw my cousins husbands dead father standing in the kitchen doorway, the night of his funeral. We ALL saw and heard shit in that house. But, I learned to live with it after I realized that no harm was coming to me, just kinda learned to ignore the shit after a few years. I would watch the Midnight Special and just cover my head with my balnket and focus on the music. This shit brought back some CRAZY memories.

There must have been some trippy mold spores floating around that mountaintop.

BOA, the first album that I bought. I had inherited a few from an old sibling, but that was the first all mine. Fabulous! Thanks for sharing Two wheel. My inspiration was in fact probably from watching that performance on Midnight Special.
