Colt - I grew up ....
about 10 miles from Black Oak, AR
32 Miles from Jonesboro Ar
6 miles from Manila Ar (was born there)
Mangrum and Reynolds ... the typical hard-head 'trouble makers' in school; long hair (Gosh!!), probably some of the first around to smoke a little ganja ....
Always the entertainers - understand they packed their instruments up one night in a van, after a particularly raucous practice session in a big barn, and announced they were moving to California to make it big .... Everyone laughed "Sure you are" .... Next time I saw or heard from them was on "Midnight Special" and almost fell out when I heard Wolfman Jack growl out the intro .. and saw Mangrums gold locks flowing as he strutted around the stage in that familiar "rooster strut" as we called it ...
Black Oak, the town (Really does exist) - Back then was one or two small grocery stores, two filling stations, a post office, a couple of churches ... typical "Population 205" town in Mississippi Delta cotton country, Arkansas .....
Quite a group ... A bit 'harsh' for my taste now, but then ... Fantastic ....
Understand Mangrum got religion somewhere in the 1980 - 1990 time frame and went to join Jimmy Swaggart's entourage ... Can't verify that though.
Thanks for the 'flashback'.
