Dance All Night ~ Dance A Little Longer
In Pawhuska, Oklahoma!
Did you know?
While Bob Wills had his Texas Playboys, and he may have had his San Antonio Rose -- it was Oklahoma that put the smile in his style and the "haw" in his chaw as he sang, "Take Me Back to Tulsa" from Pawhuska, Oklahoma in a little place called Whiting Hall!
Whiting Hall still stands on Kihekah Avenue downtown, and now houses county offices - BUT - the old tiles on the floor with musical notes engraved on them tell of yesteryear when the King of Western Swing walked those floors!
I guess you can take the Hall out of the dance, but you can't take the dance out of the Hall - Whiting Hall, that is!
