This edition follows the creation of a new song celebrating Oklahoma's statehood. Our state centennial is coming up, November 16, 2007, and I hope folks will be able to use this song to help teach kids a bit of state history. The recording features the dazzling talent of Oklahoma guitarist, Stephanie Jackson. Click here to listen.
