Sorry about that last mailer folks, I screwed up and hit send too soon.
OK, I think we can establish that Buck shaved somewhere between
RBN and CN. He has the 'stach on both of the RBN videos, but doesn't
have it on the Dancin' in the Ruins video. This might help, though I don't
know the date of it: Buck was clean shaven during Ronnie Dio's Stars
project.

As far as becoming a club band, BOC never did a stadium tour in
New England for Ninja. I remember seeing them at the Kingston, NH
fairgrounds twice between when I saw them at the Worcester Centrum
for RBN, and post Ninja. To give you an idea, I saw them at the Centrum
for ETL, and the place was jammed. For RBN it was maybe 2/3 full.
They headlined at both of the Kingston shows, though no other big bands
were there really.
