Listen to the classic showThis week, we feature a show originally performed on June 21, 1997, from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with Arlo Guthrie, Byron Berline, Billy Joe Foster, and the Classen School of Advanced Studies Show Choir. Highlights include talk about the history of Oklahoma plus fitting songs like “Oklahoma” and “Oklahoma Hills.” Also, “It Is Well With My Soul,” “Moon Song,” and “You Got that Thing.” Plus Café Boeuf, Lived in a Shoe, Evelyn’s return to visit with Lefty, and the latest News from Lake Wobegon. Listen to the show. Arlo Guthrie is an American folk singer and songwriter perhaps best known for his humorous 18-minute talking song “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” (1967). He is the son of renowned singer Woody Guthrie but forged a successful musical path of his own. Despite recent health challenges leading him to limit touring, Guthrie's legacy endures through his storytelling, humor, and commitment to social justice, making him a lasting figure in American folk music.
