Re: Oklahoma Music
There are local bands that did not make it big:
Moby Dick and the Whalers,
The Walker Underpass.
One that at least got some recording time was Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys. My favorite tune and on the got the most airplay, "Nyquil Blues"
Well, gimme a bottle of Nyquil, that restful sleep my body needs
Gimme a bottle of Nyquil, that restful sleep my body needs
Analgesic, decongestant, with an antihistamine
I went to 7-11, the man says "what you need"?
I say "a roll of duct tape and a case of Nyquil please"
Alvin Crow was a SE Spartan
Well, gimme a bottle of Nyquil, that restful sleep my body needs
Gimme a bottle of Nyquil, that restful sleep my body needs
Analgesic, decongestant, with an antihistamine
Take only as directed, don't exceed the proper dose
Keep out of reach of children, keep the bathroom cabinet closed
Well, gimme a bottle of Nyquil, that restful sleep my body needs
Gimme a bottle of Nyquil, that restful sleep my body needs
Analgesic, decongestant, with an anti-histamine
They call me Nyquil junkie, I don't know what they mean
But I just can't be satisfied unless my tongue is green
Well, gimme a bottle of Nyquil, that restful sleep my body needs
Gimme a bottle of Nyquil, that restful sleep my body needs
Analgesic, decongestant, with an antihistamine

Hey, that sounds just like someone from Southeast. Almost as good as good as the Grant graduate (Jerry Fisher) who was the lead singer for Blood Sweat and Tears.....Huh?

Re: Oklahoma Music
Yes, Alvin Crow was a SE Spartan...in fact, he graduated with me in my class. He has made a name for himself in Austin, TX at the Broken Spoke. Here's an article about him from the Austin newspaper...

Re: Oklahoma Music
Pretty Miss Norma Jean and her hit tune "Let's go all the Way" Gen/64, I use to eat hot dogs with her when the original "Coney Island" was next door to the State Theater on S. Robinson almost to main st.!!!!!
Re: Oklahoma Music
The Norma Jean I knew was Bachmeyer (spelling). We gigged a lot in the
80's. She was an old standards singer, you know, Misty, Miss Otis Regrets,
Body and Soul, Prunes and Bowels, etc...
I haven't seen her in 20 years. She was one of those people who looked
years younger than they are. A beautiful woman and a very nice voice.
She owned Hoagy's Road House in the basement of the Tiffany House in
the Late 70's and early 80's, that is until some jerk convinced her to move
out to the old "Governor's Club" on NE 63rd. Hoagy's was a great place.

Let's stay at never mind...
Re: Oklahoma Music
Wasn't his big hit the "Flying Purple People Eater"?
That remembers me. Was Boxcar Willie from Oklahoma? Just don't tell me he
was a yankee.
Re: Oklahoma Music
Speaking of "Flying Purple..."
What are some of the novelty songs you remember? I remember several.
1. Anything by Alvin and the Chipmunks
2. Monster Mash
3. Something about Batman and Robin
4. Those silly Trick or Treat songs, i.e. I want to bite (hold) your neck (hand)
5. There Coming to Take Me Away...
6. Anything about Prunes...
