Steve Ripley (Mike Simons/Tulsa World)

If you think it's hot already, just listen to this: Friday nights heat up on KOSU and its "Hot Friday Nights" radio shows, featuring "Oklahoma Rock 'n' Roll with Steve Ripley."

Ripley, a longtime Tulsa Sound and Red Dirt musician, digs up the hot coals of Oklahoma's many influences on rock music, from Leon Russell to the Beach Boys, Nancy Sinatra, Bob Wills, and much more.

And by popular demand, the station will re-broadcast the first six episodes on Tulsa's KOSU (107.5 FM) and in Stillwater-Oklahoma City (91.7 FM).

It all starts 7 p.m on the Fourth of July holiday, July 3, and will air weekly through the summer, said Kelly Burley, KOSU executive director.

Barrelhouse Beat

Barrelhouse: A colloquialism describing the low saloons at the turn of the century (19th) that served whiskey straight out of the barrel. It's also a reference to the type of music played in those venues. Ex: Barrelhouse music.

Beat: The time or timing. Ex: The band played with a solid beat. Also used as a term describing a reporters specific area of expertise. Ex: The music beat.

About me: I'm Okie born and raised, and have lived all over the state: Oklahoma City, Enid, Moore, Norman, Edmond and Tulsa. I am a music geek, writer, graphic designer and amateur photographer and videographer who's followed the Tulsa and regional music scene since I moved to Green Country more than 10 years ago. I've been enmeshed in Tulsa's varied and vibrant musical night life, what some of us affectionately call a modernized throwback to the Barrelhouse scene, since that time. I fell in love with it. I fell hard.
