Tulsa

Tulsa is a great music town and we just had a night with some Tulsa legends. The red dirt rangers have been at it for 36 years and sound better than ever as they’re getting ready to hit the studio with another pile of great songs to record . The king of red dirt, Randy Crouch was in the house and brought the vibe only he can bring. It just makes ya glad to be alive when you’re around Randy. He’s so absolutely positive and loving a being that music just flows from him. One of the true red dirt pioneers, he and his wife Liz are still making the world a better place one note at a time. Red dirt ranger John Cooper got us into Caines Ballroom to absorb the vibe in the house Bob Wills built. It’s as important as the ryman in terms of its effect on American music. Bob Wills radio show was beamed all across the west 5 days a week at noon. The sound of the show would fill the town making Tulsa a musical funhouse ! That vibe is still around today. With the Guthrie and Dylan museums in town , it’s a good place to come hang awhile but, on to Wichita …..
