As some of you may know, I wodn't actually born here in Muskogee, but my family on my mother's side lived here for many years and I think most all of my dad's folks were born between here and Chikota around Brush Hill or Kneebow Mountain. You know where Kneebow Mountain is?
And I've heard'em talk so many times about it that when I finally began to tour on the road, we made a special thing to come through here and kinda look around and see where they used to live.
And Muskogee was a word and a town that I've heard about since I was knee high. And the fact that Oklahome for some reason or another has been able to keep out of the conflict and the college capuses havent' been in any trouble, that I know of. They haven't been in the news anyway.
