b.o.a., not d.o.a.

david lee who? i give you the 'riginal: jim "dandy" mangrum of black oak arkansas, a band that started their career (as "the knowbody else," under which name they cut an album for stax in 1969) by stealing a p.a. system from their high school. for awhile there in the early '70s, they were regulars on tv rock spume like in concert and don kirshner's rock concert. couldn't find a decent version online of the famous tommy allsup playing-with-his-hands drum solo, after which two of three gtrists smashed their gtrs together, but note the subtle use of washboard on "hot rod" (the last clip below).
