How 'Boomer Sooner,' 'Oklahoma!' became state's shared voice | Opinion

In 1953, a debate over Oklahoma’s state song was interrupted by a performance. Rep. George Nigh wanted to replace the solemn “Oklahoma, A Toast” with the title number from Rodgers' and Hammerstein’s musical. An opponent had defended the old song by singing it on the House floor. Nigh returned with a women’s college choir and Ridge Bond, an Oklahoma actor who had played Curly on Broadway. Bond came through the chamber door singing “Oklahoma!” The lawmakers stood and cheered. Nigh got his bill passed. The Oklahoma Historical Society preserves this wonderfully improbable episode. The Legislature had not been persuaded by a written argument alone. Its members had heard what the proposed anthem could do when sung by a roomful of people. More: Quick thinking and a last-minute plan helped 'Oklahoma' become an enduring state song Football Saturdays in Norman offer a more familiar example. When the Pride of Oklahoma strikes up “Boomer Sooner,” the song asks very little of anyone who knows it. The words are short. The tune is quick. You can be thinking about the next play and still join in. Someone who learned it 40 years ago sings alongside a student who learned it last week. There

Chicken Shack to reopen Lake Murray restaurant after Swadley's, Lookout Kitchen failures

Correction: Brent Swadley, who operated Swadley's Foggy Bottom Kitchens at Oklahoma's state parks, was sentenced to six years probation on Oct. 22. The duration of Swadley's probation was incorrect in an earlier version of this story. Chicken Shack , a popular stop along Route 66 in Arcadia, is set to reopen the restaurant at Lake Murray State Lodge near Ardmore following two failed attempts by the Oklahoma Department of Tourism and Recreation to place all its park eateries under one operator. State tourism officials announced Wednesday, Oct. 28, the 6,000-square-foot restaurant, formerly home to Swadley's Foggy Bottom Kitchen and Lookout Kitchen , is expected to open this winter. “Lake Murray is one of Oklahoma’s most visited state parks, and we want every part of the experience we provide there to reflect what makes it such a special destination,” said Amy Blackburn, executive director of the state tourism department. “Bringing Chicken Shack into the lodge gives our guests another quality amenity and a place to gather and enjoy their time at the park. Chicken Shack brings an established Oklahoma brand, a strong concept and a commitment to becoming part of the Lake Murray community.” More: As Oklahoma works to revive Route

I pulled off a quiet two-lane road in Oklahoma expecting a five-minute leg stretch and maybe a cold drink from the car cooler. Instead, I found myself standing inside a house built from the prairie itself, breathing in the smell of old earth and imagining a family eating supper by lamplight.
