This very night Golden Earring (Radar Love) from the Netherlands sat and listened to the guys, with nothing but compliments and equipment questions. They did a concert at Robinson Auditorium (adjoining the Camelot).

He also opened for Sammi Jo in Oklahoma City at the Super Rig Club in 1980, Barbara Fairchild in McCalester OK at the Skyline/Terrace Club in 1981, Bellamy Bros., Kevin Black, Merle Haggard, and many more.

THE ORIGINAL SOUTHBOUND, 1975-1979, came from a "high-society" band named "Good News" who was the relative of "Common Good", both bands managed by Bill Ragan. They primarily performed for the elite of Little Rock, Arkansas, at the Capitol Club and similar events. John and band grew tired of that situation and started weaning themselves from the "Tuxedo" performances back into the higher paying clubs. A few more versions of Southbound were created by John through the years, the last version a show/dance road band. Pictured from left to right are: Tom Bennett, John, Joe Marchese, Jerrie Lindsey, Tom Harbison.

TOMMY RIGGS, 1943 - 2000, Nashville, TN, was one of the show circuit's favorite musicians, singers, songwriters, and comedians. Tommy was also a famous DJ in Little Rock, AR in the '70s, "Rock Robin", who was heard on KAAY across the nation. This was one of John's favorite show bands to perform in, and Tommy was one of John's favorite entertainers.

John performed with Tommy along with John's keyboardist Billy Hoover for only a short time before returning to his own projects, but enjoyed every minute with Tommy and band. He performed shows at St. Louis' Playboy Club, Doc Severinson's in OKC, Lancer's in Witchita, Sports Page at the OKC Hilton, Cajun's Wharfs, etc. Music clips on the "Music" page.
