Ennyman's Territory: Leon Russell's The Church Studio: One More Reason to Visit Tulsa

ALMOST WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

The big happening this past week in Tulsa was, of course, the grand opening of the Bob Dylan Center. Much has been written about the event as media folk from around the world flew in to Tulsa to be a part of the million dollar bash and pay homage. Rumor has it that Bob himself was in town and went to a baseball game.

If you've followed the hoopla you will no doubt be aware that the Woody Guthrie Center is but a short walk from the BDC. It's no coincidence that young Bob Dylan had drawn nectar from the influence of Woody. The single original song on his first album was "Song to Woody".

For music fans of my generation there's a third "must visit" site to take in while you're in town, Leon Russell's The Church Studio. A number of Northlanders dropped by there last week while in Tulsa. The photos here are from photographer Gary Firstenberg.
