Hey Gary…

Thanks for the message. We haven’t got this site going like we hoped – of course, we still have hope.

I love the Midnight Special story… We covered it on two different shows.

As far as the request to “keep them going…” we’ve completed the series, so it’s over – at least for now. Last week was the final show (#20). We’re looking for sponsors and/or underwriters for another series next year.

Thanks again.

Steve, thanks so much for your work on this series. It’s been magnificent, and there’s not an hour in my week that goes by faster. Please, keep them going into perpetuity: we’ll be listening.

Maybe a spot on the Oklahoma roots for Midnight Special? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Special_(song)

Keep it coming, and thanks a million!

Oh my Steve, you’ve finally let the “cat” out of the bag — a remarkable variety of top-notch Okie “magicians” (Bryan Sweet, one of many I have known once explained “we take these machines and make pleasing sounds come out of them”) have influrnced the arc of American music for a long time. Haven’t heard such good, real, free-form radio since my radio daze in AZ in the 1970’s! Ear-candy! Thanks for making me grin. jimb, norman, ok Oh yeah, are you the only Aggie graduate who can spell good?

Congrats! Fantastic job. My husband and I love the show! We have a home in Pawnee and plan to retire there. We love the small community. Both very proud OSU alumn, so we must be near our Cowboys – Go Pokes! I was particuly ‘tickled’ by the Red Dirt’s song “Elvis loved his Momma and so do I,”. Anything by and about Elvis is awesome! I hope to hear more from you and your excellent wife – good luck! And THANKS!

Hi Steve and Charlene,

I heard the first show last Sunday on KWGS. It is great! I like the spirit of it all. I’ll be saving my kitchen chores for Sunday evening so I can listen to them all.

Steve/Charlene – I’ve heard nothing but great comments but I’ve missed every show so far and I’m pretty angry with my schedule conflicts… any chance that podcasts are available and if so, please send me in the right direction to download them.
