Let me tell you something, she can sing. We had seen her before but I was really impressed with her this time.

Of course, I kept asking which one was Rascall Flats until somebody clued me in.<\/p>\n<p>They put on a great show. The band was great, the singing was wonderful, but even more than that they really connected with their audience. They&#8217;ve made fans out of Sweetie and I. We&#8217;ll be looking for our first Rascall Flat&#8217;s cd. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tulsaworld.com\/scene\/article.aspx?subjectid=269&amp;articleid=20100724_269_A17_Picher704291\">Here<\/a> is a review of the show from the Tulsa World.<\/p>\n<p>I guess that it was a night for the Oklahoma natural gas industry also.<\/p>\n<p>I spotted Susan and Sonja in the audience.
