Ditto for "Chilean Sea Bass". It's a more appealing name than "Patagonian Toothfish". Actually Tulsa is a very nice town. There are a couple of universities, and mid size cities that have colleges are more fun than those that don't. Before my first visit to Tulsa I imagined it as a town where they rolled up the sidewalks at 8:00PM. My employer, Amoco Corporation, had a large research facility there, and in the mid 1990's, when I became Human Resources manager for the company's technology and research functions, I found myself working in Tulsa at least one day a week, and I really liked it. It seemed to combine the amenities of a mid size city with the friendliness of a small town. So the food is good, the town is good, the people are nice, and the audio is great. What's not to like?

Sounds good. The last show I went to the reigning musical icons were Amanda McBroom and Rickie Lee Jones. I swore after that episode of the inquisition that I would never subject myself to such torture again. Endless repitition of the most horrendous howling imaginable. Sounded like cats fighting. Then the Blues became popular but it ended up being white guys growling and torturing their rare and expensive Vintage Tele's and Strats. Not a Muddy Waters or Little Walter in sight. For Jazz we had Pet Metheny; the Henry Mancini of the pop jazz repretoir. Try putting Sun Ra on and people wrinkled their noses.
