I’m in Tulsa this Thursday for an opening of a show of my newest work at the gallery that I’ve been represented by the longest. Mary Ann Doran first showed my work in the mid 1990s. Honestly it doesn’t seem it could have been that long ago. Tempus Fugit. Nice to see that those years of studying latin in Mrs. Petri’s class were not in vain!
The first thing I do when I book a flight to Tulsa is check the schedule to see who’s playing at Cain’s Ballroom, the legendary honky tonk and home of Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys. Long before Nashville became “Music City” Tulsa was THE hot spot for contemporary country music. I’m foiled this trip though, Cain’s is dark on Friday the 8th. Oh well, there will be another trip to T-town. I’ll probably have to drive by and see if Bob is hanging out on the corner. Maybe check The Brady too while I’m in the neighborhood. Last time I was in that theater was for Leon Russell’s 60th birthday party. Shameless name dropping I know. Guilty as accused!
Hope to see you at M.A.Doran Gallery, 3509 South Peoria, Tulsa, from 5 until 8 on the 7th.
Keep in touch,
Marshall Noice
