From the EDITOR First things first...The Corridor Magazine would like to apologize to Gail Banzet-Ellis for inadvertently omitting her name as writer for the Midwest Land Group story in last month’s issue of our magazine! “Remember When” was an article in the infancy of The Corridor Magazine. In the infancy of Oklahoma, pioneers were thinking of names for each city. It’s June, so let’s TRAVEL THE CORRIDOR and Czech out EVERY city. Prague was named after its sister city in Czechoslovakia. According to local legend Native American tribes of Ponca, Kiowa, and Pawnee called the creek Stillwater because the water was always still. Chandler was named in honor of George Chandler. Cushing was named for Marshall Cushing, a private secretary to U.S. Postmaster General John Wanamaker. Mannford derived its name from “Mann’s Ford” a crossing of the Cimarron River where Tom and Hazel Mann had received a creek allotment. Bristow was named for Joseph L. Bristow, a U.S. Senator from Kansas. Perkins derived its name from Walden Perkins, a congressman who helped established the local Post Office. Stroud was named after James Stroud.
by JOE GOOCH
Drumright was initially called Fulkerson and renamed for Aaron Drumright, a farmer and local businessman. The town sprung up over night after Tom Slick struck oil. Wellston was established by Christian Wells, who established a trading post on the site in 1883. Davenport was incorporated in 1906 and was named after the postmaster, Nettie Davenport. Uh oh! I ran out of space! However, there are eleven more cities where The Corridor Magazine is distributed. I don’t know if this is a true story, but during the construction of a city in southeastern Oklahoma, several elderly men were sitting around whittling. As a young boy walked along the dirt street, he stumbled over a newly built step entering the barber shop. As he fell to the ground the boy said, “Oh! My po’ toe!” The elderly men looked at each other and said, “Lets name this town Poteau, Oklahoma.” What’s in your wallet, and what attractions in the cities along The Corridor are you going to enjoy this summer?

The Red Dirt Art Gallery today sports some of it’s owner’s beautiful murals.
If I were to define art, paintings with beautiful frames, ceramics or even sculptures come to mind. I will confess the word “art” or “artist” is intimidating to me. It sounds so formal, so intellectual, so elaborate, so complicated. And then, I spent an afternoon with Bob Palmer and all my thoughts of art changed. Intimidation immediately became imagination, enjoyment and relaxation. Many of you may not know the name Bob Palmer, yet you have seen buildings with his artwork along The Corridor for many years. If you reside in a town such as Wellston, Davenport, Cushing, Chandler or Drumright, you are aware of these gorgeous, panoramic blessings created by Bob Palmer. I met with Bob at the Red Dirt Art Gallery & Studio in Wellston. The story of his mural paintings 6 THE CORRIDOR / JUNE 2018
is as colorful as the murals themselves. Raised in Walters, Oklahoma, Bob informed his parents that he was going to major in art. Four years later and despite their skepticism, he returned to Walters to teach art. In fact, one of his first art students now holds that same teaching position. In order to further his education, Bob, with his wife, Carolyn of 45 years, left Walters and headed for east Tennessee. There they were dormitory directors. Bob painted his first mural in a dormitory lobby. The boys in the dorm helped and Bob described it as “a lot of fun”. As his talents increased to a professional level, Bob even painted murals at Opryland. Obviously, Bob had a love for teaching, as he returned to Oklahoma and accepted a position at the University of Central Oklahoma. He shared,
“That is when I really started getting serious about the mural painting.” This happened as he shared his unique talent with students for almost 30 years. Ironically, some of those same students have become his competitors and a few have joined him on some of his magnificent projects. As many as 20 people have been needed on a project, depending on the size, and at times he has called on former students to help. Needless to say, some 2,500 incredible murals later, Bob Palmer is still going strong with no thoughts of retiring his paint brush! Although Bob admits his favorite murals are located between Oklahoma City and Tulsa, his majestic paintings stretch as far as Canada, Mexico and Eastern Europe. Bricktown may be the home of the most memorable mural, stretching a length of four blocks! It took almost four months to complete. The iconic grain elevator by Bass Pro Shop is used as a landmark for driving directions. Bob describes international painting as quite a safety challenge, as there are no safety nets under the scaffolding. But the end product is always a beauty no matter where the location. When one stands in front a Palmer mural either imagination or real life feelings are sparked. The murals tell a story. On The Corridor cover for instance, the painting depicts young boys rafting, spending their summer pretending to be sneaky river pirates. The Chandler murals – one takes you back in time and another depicts a galactic earth. And Drumright’s incredible painting of successful oilfield days highlightsThe Wheeler #1. There are just too many gorgeous, story filled murals to count! Bob wants his artwork to be educational and that it is! He says his best ideas wake him sometimes at 3:00 a.m. Therefore he keeps a writing tablet by the bed to jot down his artistic thoughts. Bob says he is most happy when people hire him to create a mural without restrictions – no boundaries in other words. Then his work can bring life to the community. In Mr. Palmer’s opinion, “Patriotic murals along with Americana images will always be popular”. The Red Dirt Art Gallery & Studio is home to a multitude of artists and their many diverse creations. The studio is filled with various textures, woods, colors and has even been featured on the Discover Oklahoma program. Artists come to sell their artwork and they come to learn from a master. Artists such as J. D. Poplin, who uses cell phone photography, Doris Aldridge with her pottery,

and a recent high school graduate, Anthony Ross’ ball point pen sketches, are just a few of the many fortunate ones to have their artwork displayed. Bob describes his studio as a time warp, meaning as he paints and designs his many projects, the day is over before he knows it. He enjoys the small town feel of Wellston and says, “It is like coming home.” The Studio was once a gas station, a tire shop and a convenience store. The old gas pumps are out front and, of course, have been cleverly incorporated into the studio’s artistic design. The building holds a long history of ownership but is now owned by Bobby and Darla Steffenson. As the story goes, Bobby kept after Bob Palmer until he would finally price a mural to be painted on the side of the building marking Mr. Steffenson’s business. The bartering began between the two with plans to remodel the building to accommodate artistic needs and before long the studio was born. Bob Palmer boldly states the Lord introduced the building that houses the Studio. Bob proudly attributes much of his success to his wife, Carolyn, who is brutally honest and is a perfect complement to an artist. My talk with Bob Palmer was an honor. His many accomplishments have not tainted his humble and gracious attitude. He is an inspiration to his students and customers alike. While on your summer
travels, stop by his Red Dirt Art Gallery and Studio and browse the talent. See if you recognize the names of young gas station employees who carved their names on the building’s rock wall. If the building walls could talk what a beautiful story the murals would tell. n
The rock wall on the gas station shows where all the station employees carved their names and/or initials.

Vacation Destination FROM THE CORRIDOR
by ROBBIE McCOMMAS
Summertime is here! How about an idea for a vacation close to home with an environment similar to Colorado right here in Oklahoma? The foothills of the Kiamichi Mountains in the southeastern part of the state could be your next outdoor adventure. If water cascading over a rocky river bottom, mountains and the fragrance of pines is favorable, you might consider Broken Bow. Listed fourth in the state’s top 10 most beautiful places, Beaver’s Bend and Hochatown State Parks are popular destinations for many who reside on The Corridor. “You can relax and be surrounded by nature,” Glencoe resident Morgan McCommas described. “It’s a four hour drive for us, a great spot to get away for a few days.” “It’s really low-key,” added Kyler McCommas. “You can unwind, hang out at the cabins or spend time fishing. Within five minutes you can be at Mountain Fork River. My friend and I limited our catching trout on a guided trip, it’s stocked year round.” The couple, along with their toddler daughter, Maudie, have traveled to the area in different seasons. “Hiking is beautiful in the fall. We drive down and enjoy,” Morgan added. “I grew up not far from Broken Bow and my family regularly attended festivals there. I’m very familiar with the area and love it.” Chandler residents Marlin and Sarah Miller with their daughter, Marley, also found the area refreshing. “We wanted a place where we could stay in Oklahoma and relax for a reasonable price,” Sarah stated. “We stayed at the Tin Horse cabin, within the Blue Beaver cabins in Hochatown. Our family played in the lake mainly, and rode the “duck”, an old World War II amphibious vessel that was really neat. It goes on land and water. We also enjoyed the petting zoo.” Stillwater residents Justin and Kathleen Street picked the spot for a “mini moon” two years ago after their wedding ceremony. Lately, the couple returned with the McCommas family for second trip. “We loved our trip there,” Kathleen expressed. “It’s the perfect combination of relaxing and being able to enjoy the outdoors. I especially enjoyed hiking and kayaking, Justin had a great time on his guided fishing trip, and we both loved zip lining! It’s a perfect weekend getaway for a couple, group of friends, or family.” 30 THE CORRIDOR / JUNE 2018

Yet, another Chandler family have made it their reunion destination for decades. Jerry and Marjorie Bender take their kids, grandkids and great grandkids for quite the venture. “We go there all the time because it’s my hometown. All my kin lives there,” said Jerry. “Broken Bow and the lake are the best kept secrets in Oklahoma. All the people in Texas seem to know about it though! The hottest ticket in McCurtain County is Hochatown on Hwy 259. We do plenty of skiing, tubing and camping there.” In the evening this family is sure to bring out the guitars, gather round and sing together. You’d do well to get a camping spot near them! Whether camping out or renting a luxurious cabin, the area meets the mark for whatever you desire. Individuals should plan early for a cabin, and keep in mind that holiday weekends are heavily populated. Thirty-four years ago my husband and I honeymooned in a tiny cabin in the woods at Beaver’s Bend. It was beautiful and created great memories of waking up in the mountain area and going fishing. Currently, the amenities and the parks have grown tremendously. We’re looking forward to our first annual family reunion trip later this year in Hochatown. Our cabins have a hot tub and fully equipped kitchens. As a major cook for our group, I’ll be tossing that apron for hot tub attire! Seriously, it’ll be a great place to vacation with a large clan of in-laws, kids and grandkids. Carson Creek Golf Course may be your desire while others may prefer a float trip, trail riding with horses or ATVs, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, go carts, paddle boating, or simply enjoy the Nature Center. Hochatown has great restaurants for dining out including Steven’s Gap, Hochatown Saloon, The Rolling Fork, Abendigos, The Blue Rooster, and the Grateful Head Pizza. The Kiamichi Owa-Chito Festival of the Forest is scheduled for June 15-16. It boasts forestry competitions, art and photography shows, a wide variety of children’s activities and more. Live music will include everything from jazz and rock and roll, to country, gospel and bluegrass. Musicians will perform throughout the event. The annual Owa-Chito Art Show and Sale is a highlight of this event. Make plans to tap into some fun this year and take your family on a vacation they’ll treasure!
This vacation adventure spot includes BEAVER’S BEND and HOCHATOWN STATE PARKS!

OKLAHOMA WARRIORS HONOR FLIGHT{
I recently had the honor and privilege of serving as a guardian on an Oklahoma Warriors Honor Flight on which 74 veterans and their accompanying volunteers flew to Washington, D.C. on April 18, 2018. Of the 74, 14 were 14 World War II veterans. The Honor Flight recognizes American veterans for their service to their country and the sacrifices each made to protect our freedom. Top priority for the Honor Flight is given to World War II veterans and terminally ill veterans from all wars and times of service. I accompanied George, a veteran from Locust Grove, OK, who served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War. George spoke humbly of his service, telling me that his job in Vietnam was to check off the maintenance that had been accomplished on aircraft. But I noticed the smile of pride on his face as he described the Convair F-102 Delta Dagger fighter jets he had worked on. The men and women of the Oklahoma Warriors Honor Flight gathered at the Hard Rock Hotel in Tulsa, OK on April 17th. The Guardians - the volunteers who escort veterans throughout the day of the Honor Flight – were trained for the flight. Each veteran was assigned a guardian who shared the entire day with her/him. Although the Honor Flight is about honoring the veterans, I felt greatly honored to serve Oklahoma veterans on the Honor Flight.
Upon meeting George and his spouse, we attended a special ceremony in which each veteran was recognized and honored for her/his time of service. Each guardian presented her/his warrior with a special Oklahoma Warriors Honor Flight mission coin while each veteran presented her/his guardian a copy of the United States Constitution. After the ceremony, it was off to our hotel rooms because we had to meet up in the Hotel lobby at 4:30 am! I arrived in the Hard Rock lobby five minutes early, but couldn’t find George anywhere. I realized that I hadn’t thought to get George’s cell phone number and I didn’t know his room number! But George arrived in the lobby only a couple of minutes late. No sooner had I gotten him a cup of coffee, than it was time to load onto busses to head to the Tulsa Airport. As we loaded onto the “blue” bus (the color of our name tag lanyard), the Hard Rock Hotel staff came out to give us a send-off. Tulsa Police officers escorted us to the airport. Throughout the day, our veterans were honored again and again by everyone we met. On landing at Reagan International Airport, a jazz combo played a welcome fanfare as our warriors deplaned. Volunteers in gold shirts lined the hallway to welcome us and show us our way to the busses which would carry us to see the sights in Washington. A police escort parted the traffic so we could visit all the war and service memorials in the shortest amount
of time. When Honor Flights come to Washington, they are given the same status as a Presidential motorcade. Folks in Washington, being accustomed to visiting Honor Flights, waved and saluted our warriors as we drive through the streets. Many came out of their way to thank our veterans for their service. The Honor Flight day is a long day. Some of the older veterans were escorted in wheel chairs to help keep them from getting overly tired. We visited Marine Corp Memorial with the famous statue of the soldiers raising the flag at Iwo Jima. At Arlington National Cemetery we watched the changing of the guard. Did you know that the guards salute the veterans groups who watch the ceremony? The guard will drag her/his heal just a bit to honor those who have served our nation. We visited the U.S. Navy Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, the World War II memorial, and the Air Force Memorial. I do not possess words to describe adequately what an honor it was to visit these sacred spaces with men and women who served our country during the conflicts these monuments memorialize. As George and I walked beside the wall at the Vietnam Memorial, he confessed that he had visited the memorial once before. “But this time,” he said, “I’m here for the guys who can’t be here.” On the flight home, veterans and guardians alike felt totally exhausted. But then “mail call” began. The Honor Flight volunteers had invited each veteran’s family, church, and community to write letters to their warrior on the Flight. As each veteran’s name was called, a “fireman’s chain” delivered a package of letters to each of the warriors. They were love letters of thanks for their service and celebrations of the sacrifices each have made in service of liberty. When our plane landed back in Tulsa, we deplaned and were greeted with cheers of jubilation. Flags and balloons were everywhere. We made our way through a gauntlet of family and friends who had come to welcome their warrior home. For some, whose return from war in earlier days had been unheralded and unwelcomed, it was a time of healing and redemption. I would like to encourage our precious veterans of World War II and the Korean War and Vietnam to consider attending an Oklahoma Warriors Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. All expenses for this one day trip are provided absolutely free of charge to veterans. Also, I would encourage those who would like to serve as guardians for an Oklahoma Warriors Honor Flight to visit www. oklahomawarriors.org on line to get an application. The Oklahoma Warriors Honor Flight is a Federal Nonprofit 501(c)3 Organization.

Delilah’s DILEMMAS
While Bullet, Karon’s demon dog, survived the cold winter’s night outdoors, the same could not be said for the critters how had attempted to eat, defeat, or mangle the mutt. When Delilah woke at daybreak the morning after Bullet’s bold escape, she hastily made her way to the back door in the kitchen, and flung it wide open, ready to call out Bullet’s name. To her absolute horror, she discovered the limp, lifeless bodies of two mice, and an opossum on the back stoop, along with the severed foot of an animal she could not instantly identify, nor did she care to identify. Movement from the staircase landing of Dooby’s garage apartment caught her eye. She pulled her robe tighter, and flipped on the back-porch light, only to find Bullet snuggling close to Pandora, Delilah’s cantankerous, old, gray goat. Given time to consider what she was seeing, Delilah might have thought this an odd pairing, but as it was, Bullet awakened with a start and began yipping, snarling and growling as he shot like a bullet down the stairs and toward his next victim; namely Delilah. Fearing for her life, (or at least her unscathed ankles) Delilah jumped inside the house and slammed the back door. Pulling the curtain back from the window in the door, she watched as Bullet sailed across the walk-way like some caped canine from Krypton. Moments later, Karon emerged from the garage apartment in Dooby’s robe and house slippers (much too big for her feet), squealing like a little girl at Christmas, over a doll she’d pined for since the Christmas before. “Oh, sweet Jesus! There’s my baby,” Karon began, half crying, half laughing. She clumsily clomped along. “There’s my boy. Come ‘ere precious. Come to Momma. Get over here. Bullet! Bullet! Boy, if you don’t come to me right now, I’m gonna beat the daylights outta you.” Delilah knew the instant Karon reached the stoop where the dearly departed lay mangled and mauled. “What the devil is that?” she screamed with 36 THE CORRIDOR / JUNE 2018

DIANE BROWN
disgust. And then, just as Karon took a step forward, while at the same time reaching for her spastic pooch, one foot slipped from the slipper and she fell like a mighty Redwood, hard and fast, face first right into the remains. “Oh, holy crow!” Delilah exclaimed. She paused a moment. Karon wasn’t moving. She, Delilah, needed to tend to her, but Bullet was still in his I’m-gonna-kill-you state, and she suspected the dog would not allow her anywhere near his owner. At last, Delilah decided Karon’s need far outweighed her own and she opened the door at the same time a halfdressed Dooby threw a pillow case over Bullet. “Ohhgg,” Karon groaned breathlessly. “I can’t . . . breathe.” She slowly and gingerly rolled on her side, gasping for air, whilst the mysterious, disembodied foot clung relentlessly to her cheek. A fact to which she seemed completely oblivious. This alone convinced Delilah of the severity of Karon’s injury. “Go put Bullet in the downstairs bathroom,” Delilah instructed Dooby as she knelt beside Karon and proffered a helping hand. Dooby rushed the wiggling, growling pillow case inside as Delilah hoisted Karon to her feet and nonchalantly brushed the foot from Karon’s face. They slowly made their way inside and Karon took a seat at the kitchen banquette. A pajama clad Joel entered the kitchen.
“What happened?” Joel asked. Delilah gave Joel the Reader’s Digest condensed version of the episode as Dooby started the coffee. As the minutes ticked away, Karon became increasingly more uncomfortable, and increasingly more verbal about her discomfort. With every move, even the slightest, she cried out in pain, clutching her right side, and catching each breath. “I think she has a broken rib,” Dooby said, gently wrapping an arm around Karon’s shoulder. “Well, we need to take her to the emergency room,” Delilah said. “They really can’t do anything for broken ribs,” Dooby said. “What do you mean?” Delilah argued. “Why not?” “They can’t set broken ribs,” Dooby offered. “About all they can do is wrap her chest.” “What if it’s punctured her lung or other vital organ?” Delilah said. “Y’all realize I’m sitting right here,” Karon snapped. A tear trickled down her cheek. “Go get her clothes,” Delilah said to Dooby. “I’m taking her to the emergency room.” Delilah looked at Karon. “I’m taking you to the emergency room,” she said. Delilah instructed Joel to sit with Karon while she, Delilah, went upstairs and hurriedly dressed. When
O
she returned to the kitchen, a dressed Dooby was coming through the back door with Karon’s clothes in hand. Joel had promised Karon that he would tend to Bullet who had been quiet during his incarceration in the bathroom. In an effort to minimize Karon’s movements, Delilah and Dooby decided to dress Karon in the kitchen. So, Joel excused himself and went upstairs to dress himself. As Delilah sat in the hospital emergency room in Cushing waiting for Dooby and Karon to emerge, a dark-haired man with a week’s growth of auburn facial hair and dark sunglasses sat at a window in a coffee shop in Miami, Florida, watching a seemingly banal business across the street. He was inconspicuously dressed in jeans, a black T-shirt, high-top Chuck Taylors, and a Chicago Cubs ball cap. Eli had been coming to the coffee shop every morning for the past week. He had died his short, strawberry blonde curls, and purchased brown contacts to disguise his jade green eyes. He had received intel that part of Mrs. Wrigley’s (AKA Abigail’s) operation was being conducted out of this building. He had seen nothing to support the claim and was beginning to think that the information was bogus. Until the day before when he saw a man all too familiar; a man who was associated with her operation in Canada. At 10:30 EST, the black Mercedes sedan with tinted win-

dows pulled up in front of the business and parked. The familiar man stepped out of the car with a cell phone at his ear and a satchel over his shoulder. Eli placed a twenty-dollar bill on the table, slung his backpack on his back, and scurried out of the coffee shop. He took a right and walked to the corner, pulling his cell phone from his pocket and pretending to place a call, when in fact, he was taking a picture of the back of the car. He stood at the corner having an imaginary conversation until the man came out of the building, at which point he took pictures of the man. Once Eli was in his rented black, Jeep Wrangler, he electronically sent the information to Dooby’s connection at the Bureau. Back at the hospital, Karon had been wrapped up, drugged up, and sent on her way. “It could take six to eight heeks for this to weal,” Karon slurred. Delilah cut a glance at Dooby. “But at least no punctures,” Karon giggled. “PUNK chers. Punk CHERS.” “What did they give her?” Delilah whispered at Dooby. “Kain pillers,” Karon said. “Really good kain pillers.” “Did you call her boss?” Dooby asked. “I did,” Delilah replied. “Karon, Roger said you just
38 THE CORRIDOR / JUNE 2018
need to stay home and rest for a few days.” Karon didn’t say anything. “He seems really nice,” Delilah said. “He has a big butt,” Karon said. Delilah’s eyes went wide, and Dooby burst into raucous laughter. After filling Karon’s prescription for “kain pillers” they took her home and got her settled. Then Delilah hid Karon’s “kain pillers” and Dooby took Delilah home. They agreed that Dooby would be staying in town with Karon for the next couple nights. That evening, after supper. Delilah and Joel sat in the living room watching television when Delilah’s cell phone rang. It was Eli. He had already called Dooby, and Dooby had shared the day’s events. Eli shared the events of his day as well. “Dooby said you have some news about Abigail,” Eli said. “Have you got something to write with?” Delilah asked. “Fire away,” Eli said. Delilah relayed the information she had obtained from her father the previous day. Abigail was traveling with Henry Henderson, Senior. They were going to be in Italy, Spain, and Greece. And would be concluding their holiday in the Bahamas. Eli was quite excited about this bit of news and concluded their call perhaps a little quicker than he would have, had he not had information he was so eager to act
upon. Things were normal at the ranch the following day with the exception of Dooby’s absence. Karon had grown considerably sorer and was unable to maneuver without assistance. So, Dooby stayed with her. Delilah didn’t hear from Eli that day. But she hadn’t expected to hear from him. It wasn’t until the following evening that Eli called Delilah again. “Hi, Baby,” Eli said. “Hello,” Delilah said. “How’s it going?” “Great,” Eli replied. “I guess you still can’t tell me where you are,” Delilah said. “Well, my location has changed,” Eli said. “I’m working on the tip you gave me about her whereabouts.” “So, you’ve found her?” “Let’s just say I know where she is.” “I know the secrecy is imperative, but I don’t care for being kept out of the loop.” “I know. And I’m sorry about that. The fewer people who know, the fewer opportunities for failure.” In the background, Delilah could hear a door open and close. “Are you in a public place?” she asked. “Not exactly,” Eli replied, his voice suddenly becoming strained. Delilah heard the faint, accented voice of a female call
out Eli’s name. “Where are you?” Delilah demanded. There was a moment of silence. “Eli?” “I’m in Greece,” he replied reluctantly. “Who is that woman?” Delilah asked with some urgency. She knew who it was before she asked. He was in Greece. His ex-girlfriend, Leslieanna was a tall, dark, beautiful, young geologist from Greece. He had been involved with Leslieanna when he and Delilah met. “Is that . . . is that Leslieanna?” Delilah insisted. “Yes, but it’s not what you think,” Eli said quickly. n
what does delilah think? What do you think? How could this possibly be innocent? JUNE’S INSTALLMENT OF DELILAH’S DILEMMAS IN THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE WILL HAVE THE ANSWERS!

Drumright Dental Center is Recipient of the 2018 Mike Synar Award for Excellence STORY PROVIDED
Drumright Dental Center was named the recipient of the 2018 Mike Synar Award for Excellence as a result of their continued support of Special Olympics Oklahoma. This award is presented to the corporation, business, association or entity that reflects Mike’s high level of commitment and support. The Synar Award was presented to Dr. Travis Burkett, owner of Drumright Dental Center, at the Summer Games Opening Ceremonies last month at Gallagher Iba Arena at Oklahoma State University. Dr. Burkett has been a member of the Board for Special Olympics Oklahoma since 2017.

This year DDC threw out 1,000 T-shirts to participants during the opening ceremonies, and in 2017 they donated over $76,000 to Special Olympics Oklahoma. In 1986, Mike Synar, then Representative from the 2nd U.S. Congressional District, helped to establish the Corporate/Association Giving Committee for Special Olympics Oklahoma. He contacted many major corporations, businesses and associations and introduced them to Special Olympics. Mike told them of his first-hand experience as a Special Olympics volunteer and helped to involve them as volunteers, donors of in-kind gifts of goods and services and cash sponsorships. The committee members represented nearly 50 corporations and associations. Since 1986, this group of sponsors and many new ones has given Special Olympics Oklahoma over $4 million in cash and in-kind donations and has provided many volunteers. Dr. Travis Dean Burkett is the owner and CEO of Drumright Dental Center, Newkirk Dental Center, and Northern Oklahoma Dental Associates. He completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University Of Oklahoma College Of Dentistry in 2007. Since that time he has been practicing general dentistry in Drumright, Tulsa, Stroud, Blackwell, and Newkirk, Oklahoma. Dr. Burkett was born in Norman, Oklahoma. He attended Drumright High School and graduated from the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics at Central Tech in 1999 was a Chancellor’s Scholar at the 42 THE CORRIDOR / JUNE 2018

Notes
ALONG THE CORRIDOR
DAVID VIDAL MUSIC AND THE STROUD CONNECTIONS
I’ve got a few friends long associated with the town of Stroud who invited me into their midst about 15 years ago. Bruce Knoch, Ronnie Baker, Wendell Peek and Gary Smalley. These fellas introduced me to new people and fresh music I would never have heard of otherwise. They hosted rotating quarterly jam sessions and poetry readings which lead to a few house concerts by traveling musicians. Which brings me to this month’s subject; David Vidal. VIdal is a touring singer/songwriter long based in Los Angeles. He met Wendell Peek somewhere along the way and he was at Wendell’s house in Stroud for one of these jam sessions. (In fact Wendell Peek and VIdal have co-written a few songs together.) Most of us were all quick to realize that we didn’t need to play along we just wanted to sit and listen to this quiet voiced, talented slide guitar player perform his magic. Which lead to DJ and I hosting a David Vidal house concert sometime later. Over the last decade or more Vidal has developed a tour route from LA, to Phoenix to Albuquerque to Houston, to New Orleans, to Clarksdale and Natchez Mississippi, and many points in between. Then up through Oklahoma to Kansas and Nebraska and home again. He’s been doing it for years and it seems to have grown into a rhythm. His music has a quiet quality about it. It doesn’t scream at you to get your attention but draws you in and holds your attention with clever lyrics and solid 44 THE CORRIDOR / JUNE 2018

musicianship. Whether it’s Delta style slide guitar blues as in ‘My Favorite Mistake’, or honky tonk country as in ‘Everybody Loves Me But You”, reggae, rock and roll, rhythm and blues or the introspective folkier aspect of songs like ‘John WIlkes Booth’, his lifelong dedication to the craft comes through loud and clear. (It was also through these Stroud connections that I met John Amos, another traveling troubadour at about the same time. I learned that Amos died of a heart attack last year and was immediately carried back to the night I first heard him in Stroud. Fine talent, fine poet, gone too soon. Amos’ albums ‘Bending the Light’ and ‘Invisible Boy’ were fine productions in the truest sense. He lived in and graduated from high school in Oklahoma City years ago . But that’s another story for another time.) David Vidal was here last week checking out venues on his way to gigs in Kansas. He stopped by for a visit and I took the opportunity to ask hm some questions. RR: Tell us a little your background and where you come from? DV: “I was born in the rough and tumble town of Gallup, New Mexico.. and raised in various locales in New Mexico and Colorado, including two ranches and the cities of Denver and Albuquerque.” “I came from a musical family of 6, in which everyone sang and/or played an instrument, and was thereby exposed to everything from cowboy songs to boogie woogie piano stylings, trio singing to classical, in addition to pop and country songs on the radio... most notably those from his early years near Pagosa Springs in Southern Colorado, when the country hits of the day came in from Durango, and at night the pop hits were
“ ...I recorded a four song artist demo at Criterion Music in Hollywood. I didn’t get an artist deal from that, but did end up publishing a lot of songs through Criterion, and also getting a job as the second engineer at the studio. A lot of great writers came thru... Rodney Crowell, Chris Hillman, Gene Clark, and so on. And a lot of top studio musicians. So it was a great learning experience. And I got a few cuts here and there, by artists and in film and television.... “My Cousin Vinny”, “Friday Night Lights”.. and a few things better left unmentioned.” “My wife and I met there in the studio.. she’s a great writer as well. We got married, had 3 kids and set about raising them as best we could. The first real non-demo recording I did was in 1988. Titled “Modern World”, it was released on cassette. In 1999 “Everybody Loves Me But You” came out on CD. People responded well to it, especially in Europe. A few years later “Nasty Habit” came out. I began to tour as a solo after that. “Americana Blues” came out. Then “After The Storm”, recorded in Houston. Then “Live At The Zoo Bar” in Lincoln, Nebraska. “World of Trouble” was recorded by Steve Wood in Laguna Beach, California. Then Jerry Peterson produced “Infamous” and “Reason to Live.” “Crow” was recorded at Aspen Pittman’s studio in Los Angeles. And there’s a new album being finished up in Clarksdale, MississippI. So they seem to keep coming, at least for now.”
beamed in from KOMA in Oklahoma City.” RR: Was it easy for you to choose music as a career? DV: “It’s almost as tho music chose me, and not vice versa... there was no point when I decided to be a writer/ musician... I just kinda grew into being one. There was a long period of time when nobody knew what this particular tree was going to be, including me. I didn’t respond particularly well to pruning... I’m just fortunate nobody cut me down and turned me into firewood, or deck furniture.”
He says he enjoys his occasional trips through this part of Oklahoma because as he puts it, ‘There’s just something here that seems to breed, encourage and inspire good songwriters and musicians, young and old ….’ I agree. And I thank my Stroud friends for inviting me into their magic circle of friends so many years ago. They’ve shown me a lot of musical experiences I would have ever discovered on my own. You can find out more about David VIdal by following him on Facebook, Reverbnation or at www.DavidVidal. net. His music is available at most online locations including i-Tunes, Amazon, CD Baby.

RR: Tell me about your recording history: DV: “The first professional grade recordings I did were song demo’s.. recordings pitched to artists who might record them. Before that, I did homemade tapes that were good enough to generate some interest, and get BMI to sign me for a small bonus upon agreeing to move to Los Angeles to write. In those days you pretty much had to be in L.A., Nashville or New York. So I moved to Los Angeles, into the barrio on the East Side... “ THE CORRIDOR / JUNE 2018 45

PATH International is the credentialing organization for accrediting therapeutic riding centers and certifying instructors and equine specialists. Region 8 includes Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Mexico, Central America, and South America. Laurie Cox, a Right Path volunteer and mentor since 2004, was awarded Region 8 Volunteer of the Year. Dr. Bill Mitchell, our amazing and much-appreciated veterinarian and board member, was awarded Region 8 Veterinarian of the Year. They are also now in the running for international recognition and awards. Congratulations! You both earned it and we are so thankful for you and all you do for our community!
The Right Path Riding Academy is also honored to have two winners in the 7th Annual Blaze’s Ride to the Rescue Trainers Challenge! Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue, Inc., located in Jones, Oklahoma, is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that strives to improve the lives of neglected, starved, and abused horses (visit www.blazesequinerescue.com for more info). They provide equine rescue, rehabilitation, education, and adoption services regardless of age or disability. As part of promoting horse care and humane, natural methods for training horses, Blaze’s Tribute hosts an annual Trainer’s Challenge. Each trainer spends five months working with one of the rescued horses. At the end of that time, they showcase their training and skills in the challenge event.
