“The Ozark Mountain Daredevils formed in Springfield, MO in 1971”
That’s interesting...I was going to Mizzou in Columbia, MO in 1971. That’s 170 miles NE of Springfield. I had no idea we had a hometown grown Missouri band that hit it big.
I had to laugh — in the live version, the band member says “Missour-ee.” All my friends from the southern part of the state always pronounced it ‘Missour-uh.”
My folks have been in southeast Missour-ee since 1849.
