[box title="Carla Britton Gregory" style="default" box_color="#333333" title_color="#FFFFFF" radius="3" class=""]Tonight on City of Giants with Michael Patton we have Carla Britton Gregory Tonight on City of Giants we have Carla Britton Gregory, a friend who has is getting a following around town for her music.… plays guitar and sings about her life, but I know her from her cooking at the The Farm Shopping Center Saturday Farmers Market. There is nothing like a relationship built on eating sample foods in a parking lot (last weekend was Mutton meatballs).

Carla sings originals so I tried to make her sad and write Blues. She did some songs in the studio, including one title "The Show" that she wrote after a singing a show at the Colony. We talked about motivation and how creativity comes to her. She is filled with energy and lights up a room.

I was a little trouble. I said that if Woody Guthrie's guitar kills fascists, how would she use hers as a weapon. I did persist on what instrument I could play in her band (cowbell), and asked if she could write a tune with the words "Blurry Missouri." I did ask if she wrote propaganda songs for the government.

It was fun. Listen tonight at 7 pm or this weekend each day at noon at www.radioIDL.com.[/box]

Their company provides a wide variety of cleaning services including restoration after fire, water, mold, etc.
Kathy did a good job speaking about the sterilization services that people coming home from hospitals want as well as promoting their biohazard and general services.

I decided to defend germs and mold and questioned why she wanted to kill my friends. Dirty is a style and I resented her efforts to make my things sparkle.

Songs this week include "Good Clean Fun" by the Allman Brothers and locals Hosty Duo singing "Dirty Girl".
Listen tonight at 7 pm or this weekend each day at noon at www.radioidl.com[/box]

[box title="Blake Smith with mycbdsolution.com" style="default" box_color="#333333" title_color="#FFFFFF" radius="3" class=""]Tonight on City of Giants with Michael Patton we have this local company selling a pain cream. https://www.mycbdsolution.com/ Mention Radio IDL for a Discount also you can stop by the location at 68th and Memorial and a website that sells an ointment that is FDA approved and legal for pain relief. Blake Smith from their company came on even brought me a sample ( I haven't opened it yet. My pain is too deep for this). Blake did a good job selling it. He used words I didn't understand like "cannabidiol" and "non-psychoactive" and "Chiropractic". I said I was opposed, not because it was marijuana cream, but because it was 16% menthol and I was afraid I would crave a Virginia Slims cigarette. I also said that pain can be good and used the station format of Blues music as a perfect example.

The show contains great music like "Good Medicine" by local Bluesman Pete Marriott, "Medicated Goo", by The Band of Heathens, and Blues legend from the 1960s Howlin Wolf sings "Spoonful of Cream".

It was a fun show. Listen tonight at 7 pm or this weekend each day at noon at www.radioIDL.com. I will let you know when I open the creme. If you have tried it, let me know.[/box]

Tulsa Mayfest starts today and you can probably find me there at lunch or dinner each day.
http://tulsamayfest.org/

Kidzone is one of the best things about Mayfest. We probably have thousands of moms pushing strollers and twice as many kids doing crafts, games, painting, etc. every day. It is a major production made possible by a generous donation from St Francis Children's Hospital. Sue also gets hundreds of volunteers, many of them high school students needing hours.

This year again they will make hats and masks, butterflies and bubbles, and everything from puppets to pumpkin seeds. Sue also makes sure kids have a pipe cleaner craft pallooza of fun. They paint sticks and stones, get excellent hands on instruction, and everybody takes home art. Sue throws the kid's party of the year and everything they do is all free.

For music, the station selected all artists who are playing at Mayfest. Saturday night singer Wanda Watson Band does "Good Morning Sunshine", Opening act today at lunch The Randy Brumley Band has a tune with the late Steve Pryor called "Distractions", Also today lunch performer Susan Herndon sings "Favorite Cup" with Tom Skinner, and Ben Newkirk who plays Friday night has a tune called "Lonely Through the Night."

It was a fun show. Listen today at 10 am, Friday night at 7 pm, or this weekend each day at noon on www.radioIDL.com.[/box]

[note note_color="#ffffff" text_color="#000000" radius="3" class=""]Join us tonight for City of Giants with Michael Patton we have Jason Watts with Rabbit Hole Improv Check it out tonight with Up To Speed starting at 8pm
This new comedy theater is in midtown tucked away just east of the Reasor's at 15th and Lewis. They have shows most Fridays and Saturdays and do private corporate and other events. Jason did a good job promoting the cast, talked about how they engage the audience, and really represented live spontaneous theater as entertainment.

I, of course, was trouble. I am obsessed with the overdressed white rabbit in the book Alice in Wonderland that they get their name from and demanded they have actual rabbits as props. I inquired whether too much laughter could be a medical condition.

Poppa Nite found great songs including "Ain't no Fun When the Rabbit Gots the Gun" by Cash Box Kings, "Have you Seen my Puppet Show" by locals Hosty and Blue Combo with John Glazer and Rebecca Ungerman singing "One Monkey Don't Stop no Show".

Listen tonight at 7 pm or this weekend each day at noon on www.radioIDL.com[/note]

[note note_color="#ffffff" text_color="#000000" radius="3" class=""]Tonight on City Of Giants with Michael Patton we have Cristen Burdell from The Mansion at Woodward Park. Tulsa Garden Center rents out the mansion and the park grounds and holds almost daily events ranging from monthly meetings for roses and iris, to classes on everything from cooking to photography. Cristen came on to promote the fundraising dinner on March 22nd called Garden Thyme with the Gardener Guy, Paul James Here is a link. Buy tickets now. Last year's event with Gt Bynum sold out quick. https://www.facebook.com/events/430650607366829/

We had odd conversations. I asked if the dozens of weddings and related sadness adversely hurt the gardens. When she mentioned they have added a wine refrigerator into the Bridal room, I suggested they add a pool table somewhere for the grooms. She raved about Linneaus Teaching garden and I was impressed that every plant has a name tag. I also loved her explanation of the rose beds being a academic research center.

I was amazed at the variety of events. Here is their March newsletter...http://tulsagardencenter.com/…/March-2018-TGC-Newsletter.pdf.

It was really interesting to hear how popular weddings and corporate events at this historic mansion in the middle of a park have recently become. Being dressed up in a fancy place that is not a church is just really in right now.

It feels good using the radio show to help promote such a wonderful place. It is not just the Tulsa Garden Center, it the the center of gardening in the Tulsa area.

The song list for tonight is also impressive. Look for songs from locals Alaska and Madi, John Fullbright, and David M. Teegarden Sr. and Van Winkle. You can listen tonight at 7 pm or this weekend each day at noon on www.radioIDL.com[/note]
