Jimmie Tramel called Reservation Dogs, "the most Oklahoma thing on television so far." With shot-in-Oklahoma movie "Killers of the Flower Moon" recent release, it has been a big year for Indigenous storytelling through film and TV.
Tramel and James Watts also talk about the next major media project with an Oklahoma focus, “Lawmen: Bass Reeves.” A former slave, Reeves was the first African American U.S. deputy marshal west of the Mississippi River. Reeves, who worked primarily in Oklahoma (then Indian Territory) and Arkansas, was responsible for 3,000-plus arrests and spent the twilight of his life as a police officer in Muskogee.

Tulsa World Scene's Jimmie Tramel and James Watts talk about a story from Oak Ridge Boys lore: In 1975, Tulsa-based music impresario Jim Halsey liked (and heard) what he saw from a gospel quartet with designs on transitioning to country music. Halsey told the Oak Ridge Boys he felt they were three minutes from stardom.
The Oak Ridge Boys will be reunited with Halsey (they refer to their longtime manager as “the Godfather”) when they return to Tulsa for a Saturday, April 30 performance at The Cove inside the River Spirit Casino.
