    Jump into the Red River Podcast with Roger Collins, co-owner of legendary Red River haunt the One Knite during its early 1970s live music heyday. Settle in as we crack open the One Knite’s coffin-shapped doors to hear about how Joe Ely and the Flatlanders found their footing on the One Knite’s tabletop stage and how a teenage Stevie Vaughan became Stevie Ray. Along the way, we’ll hear about the music scene’s commingling with the marijuana distribution business, trouble with Harvey Gann’s APD vice squad, and how Roger went from shooting out the streetlights at the corner of 8th and Red River to hanging out with Willie Nelson on the White House lawn. The podcast is a collection of real stories, history, memories and perspectives from people connected to the cultural district - past and present. Everyone remembers the past a little differently, and some tales include sensitive and explicit topics. These stories don’t always reflect the view, mission or endorsements of our organization - they’re simply part of the rich, complicated history of the place. We’ve done our best to honor each storyteller’s voice, but can’t promise every detail is fact-checked or free from the occasional fuzzy memory. Think of this podcast; heartfelt, imperfect, and full of character. Thanks for listening with an open mind and for celebrating the many layers of our District’s shared heritage.
