Used to see the Lemon Pipers lots, born Hyde Park, Cincinnati May 14th 1949. Met Lonnie Mack @ 10 years Hortel Alms Teen Dance. Sold Bill my 1992 Rickenbacker 381 V6 FlamGlo about 9 months ago, from here in Phx, AZ.
@@jjenkinsx Grew up w/Goshorn Brothers, Lonnie, booked teen dances, proms, river boats, teen only at several Hotel Ballrooms, my father was a Commandant @ large VFW Complex on Duck Creek Rd in the bottoms area of Oakley, he had Jazz brunches on Sundays for years, he was friends w/Frank Woods (WEBN!) which caused me to kind of grow up w/Robin one of first women DJ's in America. Especially on FM High Powered Station. Lonnie took me to King Studios 3, 4 times, still have a couple signed 45's from James Brown sessions DJ only labeled, got to hear Hank Ballard & The Midnighter's, Freddie King Band, The Isley Brothers (2nd time they introduced their recently pilfered new 2nd Lead guitars Jimmy James, after being an opening act on a Little Richard tour. Took first guitar lessons from Llyod Hazelbaker in Oakley (1-12 free 35-40 min lessons after school started @ 10 on a Harmony Auditorium size, graduated to a 50's J-45 Short shouldered Gibson, Butterscotch top, Tort guard, wish I still had 1/2 of the guitars I owned back!
@@zonalmusicgroup9887 You and I share a lot of the same memories. Jelly Pudding, Michael Xanadu, the house over on Price's Mountain. Spent a few Saturday afternoons hanging around out there. Frank had the Sunday morning program. Worked with a band playing WSAI dances at a lot of VFW and American Legion halls. Remember the Lemon Pipers playing at a place called the Montgomery Businessman Club. Sacred Mushroom, Ivan and the Sabres, a very vibrant music scene. Forgetting more than I remember but it was a great time.
Fantastic!!!! First number of his 5 song set that night! Bill was rockin' the house; and just listen to that guitar!!! He's as good if not better than ever! Thank you so much for sharing this video.
@LACrimAtty THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!! Each time was ALWAYS a "treat" for me & SO MANY MORE OF US! We were so lucky during those "Starstruck" Days! That's where, when and how the parties were always "jumpin' - - - and "no cameras allowed! Bill Bartlett has still GOT IT!
I used to hear Starstruck as well at The Purity and later at The Boar's Head in Oxford. He was a hot player in those days and had a lot of style compared to all the other guitar players who were around. They used to do an instrumental called "Starstruck" and other original songs ("Country Ways," "I Should Have Known," etc.) On a good night he impressed me as much as anyone.
I too first heard Bill and the Lemon Pipers at The Purity and later at The Boars Head. Boy, those were the days! Some weekends featured the Pipers at one spot and The Daybreakers across the street!
I used to work with his girlfriend (bartender). In oxford Ohio. He’d pop in once in a while. She said he’d en in bands... never mentioned Ram Jam!!!!! One of my favorites
Bill Bartlett= National Treasure
BILL......GET THAT GORGEOUS STRAWBERRY BLONDE HAIR BACK. LET IT GROW. COME ON NOW.
Bill Bartlett is the MAN. I've seen him play live maybe 300 times, and each one was a treat.
Ah, the Starstruck Band...those were the days.

NOW I'm impressed. 🎸👍
I agree. Back in the days of Starstruck, Bartlett was as good as anyone around - bar none.
The Less Paul Gold Top he had before sounded much better.
...bambalam... :(
Where is He now ? Finding nothing ....
Dennis Riblett he lives in Liberty Indiana just down the road from Oxford Ohio. He pretty much keeps to himself

And he was an original Lemon Piper (My Green Tambourine).
