Hometown Heroes Tulsa

Ballroom Blitz Part I

You know the phrase, The Blitz is on? Well, its true in this case, as in the 2nd Annual Ballroom Blitz at Cain's Ballroom here in Tulsa, on Saturday, April 28. This event and its Fall campanion, Freakers' Ball are the two largest single day showcase events for Tulsa area bands. Being a pro-Tulsa broadcast/podcast it only made perfect sense for us to showcase this 4 stage, 25 plus band event. Sometimes you have to put your money where your mouth is, so here we go.

Don't forget, and we won't let you anyway. Education is important. That's why we give you not one, but two really fun facts each show. They always relate to Tulsa and/or Oklahoma. Where else will you find out which city in the U.S. is number one for allergy sufferers to live? or just try to guess where President Franklin D. Roosevelt made a secret visit to in 1943...

You don't have to thank us for all of this free music and information, just spread the word.  Y'all come back now.

It's a Tulsa, Tulsa, Tulsa, Tulsa World. At least where we come from. T-town's not perfect, but its perfect for us. If you come from Tulsa, it's easy to fit in to cities like Dallas or Austin. And we don't mean in a Yeehaw, ride'em cowboy kind of way. Stereotypes can be hard to break, but we think we do a good job every week with the music showcased here. Sure we have our Garth Brooks, but we also have our Flaming Lips.

Last weeks was part one of our Ladies First theme featuring, well female vocalists. Welcome to Part 2.

Lordy, Lordy look who's 40. 40 years ago, in 1967, we were just a bunch of young college age radicals with a vision, oh, not THAT 40. More like 40 weeks ago...Honestly, a lot has happened in the last 40 weeks. Our listenership is in the thousands, we have been accepted by iTunes, we have a global audience, including the UK, Europe, and Canada. A national audience from Seattle, WA and Austin, TX to Washington D.C. and a massive local following that reminds us why we do this. We won't  pat ourselves on the back too much though because we know our constant mission of keeping the hills alive with the sound of Tulsa music is very, very far from over. This week's Diabolicast is called Ladies First featuring some of our area's finest female vocalists, this is only Part I.

This week on Double H 37 the theme is "It Takes Two, 'Cause It's New". That pretty much explains it all. Two tracks from each artists because they're all brand new. Perhaps we should have also served tea, you know, "tea for two". We think that would have been "two" much actually...

Host Davit Souders will also fill you in on where Oklahoma rates in the nation for heart disease and where and when it was -27 degrees F. That's cold, but the weekly Double H Fun Facts and musical selections are oh so hot:

Tornado Alley. That's what part of the country Tulsa and Oklahoma are in, pretty self-explanatory. We are entering that time of year. The West Coast has its earthquakes, the Gulf Coast has its hurricanes and we here in the Midwest have our twisters. So about now, you're wondering just what is the average number of tornados in Oklahoma, right? Or perhaps your question is simply Oh Brother Where Art Thou? We don't know, but we do know about Tulsa's sister cities around the world - find out exactly how many and in what countries. As usual host Davit Souders will thrill and amaze you with the answers. That's what we affectionately call the Double H Fun Fact section of the little podcast that could and does.

Our bigger goal is broadcasting/podcasting with a purpose and that purpose is to blow you away with fine musical selections from T-Town.

Stop in the name of love, Tulsa love. Since the yield sign was invented by a police officer all those years ago, perhaps we should just ask you to yield. Our goal in any case is for you to slow down enough to enjoy this week's offering from the Double H Ranch. We've worked awfully hard to give you the finest possible menu of music.

You're wondering about the Double H Fun Facts? You're wondering exactly where Tulsa ranks for total number of American Indian residents? You can count on us for the answer. You want to avoid the flu? We all do, learn how right here.

You're listening. You're REALLY listening, and for that we could not be more grateful. We truly believe that the music and musicians from the Tulsa area deserve to be showcased in any and all positive avenues and you are allowing this show to be one. You rock for letting us rock.

What would great T-Town music be without really, really fun facts? Lucky for you, you'll never, ever have to know...

What do 236 Oklahoma newspapers, the American flag, and psychic readings have in common? Hometown Heroes show 34.

Love. Love is never having to say I haven't listened to Hometown Heroes this week. Cupid is certainly not stupid at the Double H Ranch.

Love is also never having to say we haven't provided you with the best music from Tulsa again for another week. Since Valentine's Day falls during this week's show, try to think of host Davit Souders as a musical cupid (without the angel-like qualities) shooting musical arrows of love at you...Some give candy and flowers, we give music and fun facts.

We've said it before, but this week it would seem to make the most sense, as we take aim, from Tulsa with love:

Tony Romanello - Breathe Like The First Time
Cairde na Gael - The Spanish Lady
Sugar Free Allstars - Exercise The Demons
Fighting Tomorrow - North Shore
The Pistol Arrows - Giant
Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey - Hallelujah Swing
Noah Richardson - Curse The Sun
