Okay in Oklahoma
Elvin Bishop
This week on A Prairie Home Companion, a mix of two Oklahoma shows with native Okie, legendary bluesman Elvin Bishop singing "Oklahoma Country Girl," some foot-stomping barroom tunes from The Hot Club of Cowtown, and Arlo Guthrie sings "Oklahoma Hills." Plus, in the Lives of the Cowboys, a smooth-talking southern preacher talks Lefty into sitting on a "whoopee cushion of faith," and the latest from the epicenter of news in Lake Wobegon, the Bon Marche Beauty Salon.
