Subject: RE: Tell us about your town...and the music.
Well, Ada, OK is where we live now.

Music in Ada consists of Christian Pop, Christian Country, Christian Rock, and Pop Country. Anything Garth and his many clones does is "'bout a good as it done can get". For the bar-room crowd there's tough Country Rock, and for the old-timers there's Country Swing and Country Bar-room swing - they call it folk music. No NPR, unless you have a good antenna. There are also 96 churches, all Christian, for a population of 16,000. Did I tell you yet that there is alot of Christian Music here?

Fortunately for us OK City, 85 miles to the Northwest, is more diverse. There we have a wonderful variety of folk music at the Oklahoma City Traditional Music Association. Click here for octma.org

Please don't misunderstand me. There's much to like about Ada, but their lack of diversity and music tastes are not among our favorite things.
