This Past Weekend in OK & TX
Mon., Sep. 8. 2008 12:13am EDT
Oklahoma and Texas may not get along when it comes to college football, but they work well together on our concert schedule. This past April, we played a Friday in Weatherford OK and a Saturday in Gonzales TX (about an hour from the University of Texas). This past weekend, we played Friday in Noble OK (about five minutes from the University of Oklahoma) and Saturday in Stamford TX.
Both weekends shared more than the fabled Red River Rivalry. They also had the following in common: lively crowds, kindly hosts, and likely return trips.
Here's an excerpt from an email we received from the coordinator of the concert in Noble:Everybody is still buzzing about the concert Friday night. Because of the success of it, we are talking about forming a regular Friday night concert series about every two or three months. I appreciate the genuine spirit that each one of you guys have. Again it was a pleasure to work with you. I pray for nothing but the best for each one of you. I hope we can do it again sometime!
