by Hugh W. Foley (Author)
The Oklahoma Route 66 Music Guide also hopes to encourage a new brand of cultural adventure: musical tourism. Included in this concept is sharing the state's profound musical legacy; providing those interested with a beacon for finding its current musical activities and sites of interest; documenting the players and singers of Oklahoma's stretch of Route 66 who have made music history; and, of course, keeping the radar up for whatever is going to happen next.
