We’ve all got stories about being part of concert crowds. We don’t all have stories like this one. In this episode, we take you to a show in Oklahoma City that really needed to be seen to be really “appreciated”. But we do our best. Bring whatever you’d like. I’d start with goggles and non-slip shoes. 

Also, Eddie uses "ephemeral" in a sentence.

They discuss various events and concerts that took place at the Diamond, anecdotes and stories from experiences at the Diamond Ballroom and in the music industry in general. Ross talks about encounters with famous musicians like Leon Russell, David Allen Coe, Conway Twitty and Tammy Wynette. He also discusses the rise of the Diamond, the impact of the Urban Cowboy era, and the resurgence of country music in the late 80s.

On our first episode, Scott talks to Jed about his childhood experiences with fundraising activities, including a light bulb fundraiser for his downtown OKC church youth ski trip. Selling light bulbs door-to-door, is a tough gig. A tough, absurd gig. We start at the end after cornering former youth pastor, Robert Price and pressing him for the answers. It's some cart before the horse stuff since Scott and Jed had already given their theories.  But it worked for Columbo. It works here. And well, we couldn't get Rob on the phone earlier.

We eventually learn helpful tips for making extra money while selling school chocolate. And Jed makes the case that some are better than others when getting kids to sell for the school. Oh, and Jed (for some reason) took home ec in the 9th grade?
