RADIO SHOW FEATURES OKLAHOMA ROCK N ROLL
The Oklahoma Historical Society, in partnership with the state's public radio stations, is sponsoring a weekly radio show featuring the history of Rock and Roll in Oklahoma.
The show is produced and narrated by noted Oklahoma recording artist and record producer Steve Ripley.
"Oklahoma Rock And Roll with Steve Ripley" is a 20-part radio series that explores the music of Oklahoma artists and song writers and their influence on Rock and Roll. "We will look at not just Rock and Roll in Oklahoma," said Ripley, "but also the roots of Rock and Roll such as Woody Guthrie, Bob Wills, and Charlie Christian."
The radio show is being produced in conjunction with a major new museum exhibition at the Oklahoma History Center called "Another Hot Oklahoma Night: A Rock and Roll Exhibit."
Ripley guides the listener through the music of Oklahomans such as Leon Russell and J.J. Cale and their direct links to people like Dylan, Clapton, and Joe Cocker. He explores the roots of Rockabilly and Oklahomans such as Wanda Jackson and The Collins Kids.
"The picture starts to emerge of an art form that owes its heart to a mixture of hillbilly, gospel, blues, rhythm & blues, and jazz," said Ripley. "Interwoven are Native American and African American influences...this is America's music...Oklahoma Rock and Roll."
KOSU, Oklahoma State University, will begin rebroadcasting the show on Friday April 2nd at 8:00 p.m. KOSU broadcasts on 91.7 in Stillwater and Oklahoma City, 107.5 in Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma, and 101.9 in Okmulgee.
KRSC, Rogers State University, will begin airing the show on Friday March 19th at 6:00 p.m., repeating each show the following Monday at 6:00 p.m. KRSC, Claremore broadcasts on 91.3 FM.
KWGS, University of Tulsa, has also agreed to rebroadcast the show. However, they have not indicated when the rebroadcasts will begin.
"We really appreciate the support the three university-related public radio stations have given us," said Dr. Bob L. Blackburn, executive director of the Oklahoma Historical Society. |
