useto
October 28th, 2006I useto live in Tulsa and I usto goto these 2 places when something that was going on there moved me to do so.
The newest of the 2 is Cain’s Ballroom which to some is mecca to Bob Wills fans. My mom went there back when she was young, single and having fun but now at 86 she said she can still remember those times.
Long before the word “rock” meant anything more than stone, the building that would become Cain’s Ballroom was erected in the heart of a burgeoning oil-boom city. It was 1924, and the place was built as a garage for one of the city’s founders, Tate Brady (as in Brady Street, the Brady District, the Brady Theater). By the latter half of the decade, though, the garage already had transformed into a nightspot called the Louvre Ballroom a taxi hall where two-steppers could buy a dance for a dime.

The oldest is Brady Theatre which is list in the National Register of Historic Places. This is where I saw Willie Nelson.
Completed in 1914, the Brady Theater was originally designed as a municipal auditorium and convention hall by the architectural firm of Rose and Peterson of Kansas City, KS. The building was known as “Convention Hall” for the first forty years of its life. When the facility officially opened, it was billed as the largest hall between Kansas City and Houston.

Confessions
October 24th, 2006A man goes to confession…
“Father, it has been one month since my last confession. I have had sex with Nookie Green every week for the last month.”
The priest tells the sinner, “You are forgiven. Go out and say three Hail Mary’s.”
Soon after, another man enters the confessional.
“Father, it has been two months since my last confession. I have had sex with Nookie Green twice a week for the last two months.”
This time the priest questions,”Who is Nookie Green?”
“A new woman in the neighborhood“, the sinner replies.
“Very well, “sighs the priest. “Go and say ten Hail Mary’s.”
At Mass the next morning, as the priest prepares to deliver his sermon, a tall, voluptuous, drop dead gorgeous woman enters the sanctuary. The eyes of every man in the church fall upon her as she slowly sashays up the aisle and sits downright in front of the Priest. Her dress is green and very short, with matching shiny emerald green shoes.
The priest and altar boy gasp, as the woman in the matching green shoes and dress sits with her legs slightly spread apart.
The priest turns to the altar boy and whispers,
“Is that Nookie Green?”
The bug-eyed altar boy can’t believe his ears but replies,
“No … I think it’s just the reflection off her shoes.”
