Livin' On Tulsa Time

For a few days. To run a race, tour the town, and maybe have a Peeps moment. Hopefully also have time to scout out Cain's Ballroom. Tulsa's a seriously rockin' city. Seriously. Eric Clapton knew. Because he went there in the late 70s to dry out from a heroin addiction. Which, if you know anything about Tulsa, is pretty ironic. I'm not much of a Clapton fan, but I do love his version of this song:

Loved it! Now to me, that is an under-rated classic Southern-style rock song. And that might just have been Leon in the background on piano? Wouldn't be a surprise, he is a Tulsan as well.

While you are there, have these restaurants on your radar:

Dalesandro's
(918) 582-1551
1742 S Boston Ave, Tulsa, OK

The Chalkboard at The Ambassador Hotel
(Cute Cute CUTE Boutique Hotel downtown)

I'll be waving back at you as you fly by ... I'll give you a building tour next time you are out this way. Happy Easter and enjoy that race! Post pics! Don't fall over any drunk college students!

I remember this song from when I was little, but it was a country style. Wish I knew who sung it.
