The Annual Bob Wills Birthday Bash held at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, OK on March 2nd and 3rd is cancelled...forever.
The new owners feel they can draw bigger crowds with rock 'n' roll. It's the end of an era. Cain's has been part of my life ever since I can remember.

| It's a sad day Dayna but I'm afraid that it's a continuing trend except among the "faithful". As you know, The old TRIANON where Bob and all the other greats played for so long in Oklahoma City, has been a parking lot for years. Also, the DIAMOND BALLROOM, the last genuine western-swing place in Oklahoma City, has been catering to "kids in cowboy hats doing line dances to disco music" for years now. Organizations like the WSMSS seem to be the last hope to keep any interest alive. Dayna, keep the faith...and keep swinging. Gene Jones www.genejones.com |
