I got in trouble a few years ago by a well-meaning but sanctimonious aunt, when I said that being at the Cain’s was like being at church. She was not happy. But how can you argue with it, when you walk around that grand dance hall, and see the portraits of all the greats of the genre, from years gone by. Patsy Cline sang there, so did Hank Williams. Of course Bob Wills invented an entirely new style of music there. My best buddy growing up had pictures of his grandfather, who played guitar with Bob Wills band. Walking through the Cain’s is a great, and humbling experience.

I have been to see a few concerts there, including Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen. They are all aware of the gravity of that place. It is palpable. I’m glad DCB recognized it.

And I am glad you got to experience it! Its one of those things that makes you a true Tulsan. Congrats, Art. You’re in!

In the picture of your kids and wife sitting in front, you’ve also captured our youth minister and a couple of my daughter’s friends. K.D. pointed to a little blurry spot and declared that was her!

I wasn’t there. I’ve been to the Cain’s and I knew it’s a young person’s game.

In fact, I almost fell asleep waiting for my (16 year old) daughter to get home. Help me; I’m turning into my dad!

Absolutely! You got it, Bart.

Freakers Ball is listed on the Cain’s Ballroom website right now. If anyone wants to check it out, they might understand what you are talking about better, but you described it pretty well.

My wife and I in trying to build a relationship with a very talented young man that played in our church band went to hear Greg play at Cains. Greg has played in bands and toured all over the country. Very talented guitar player and singer. Greg plays what I would describe as alternate country rock with some Bob Dylan sounds. Very unique. In fact his band, Mudville Project, won a Spot award.

The first time we went to Cains to hear Greg it was to an event called the “Freakers Ball”. It was an eye opener. For the first time in my life I realized that I had sheltered myself in my little church clique and had no idea what some young adults lifestyle was like. We also stood out like a sore thumb. Ninety Nine (if not more) percent of the crowd was tattoed, pierced, and wore to say the least freaky clothes. We were dressed in our “go to meetin’” clothes. WOW.

But… we impressed and solidified a relationship with Greg and his family and God opened my eyes to a field that needed harvesting.

We (believers) need to show ourselves at places that arn’t “normal” or “comfortable”.

From what I’m reading from your blog, you do to. What do you think?
