Very cool story. A good friend of mine, a great agronomist who lived for many years here in OR/ WA, then moved back to Oklahoma where he was originally from, is actually part of this Indian tribe. He is an OSU fan (Oklahoma State  ), was here when we played them at home, and I was planning on joining him at Cowboy Stadium in Stillwater until COVID ruined that. And yes, Irmi, he has a lot to say about Gundy and his dust up with the press a couple of years ago . Would love to have OSU vs. OSU every year if we joined the Big12. Would make for some really fun tailgating! |

Hoyt Axton wrote a song saying something like he was told he was born in Oklahoma but he really doesn't remember. But in truth, he played two seasons of football (I think) at Oklahoma State before moving to California for his music career.

More often known by the opening words: "Jeremiah was a bullfrog," the opening to "The Big Chill." |

Hoyt Axton received a scholarship to play football at Oklahoma State but dropped out after a year or two to joint the Navy and pursue a medical career. Axton served aboard the USS Princeton and the USS Ranger for four years. After Axton was discharged from the Navy, he moved to California to pursue his musical career. |

There must be a slight window of time where that's possible. LOVE that song! I was a big fan of Three Dog Night, back “in the day.” Three lead singers….Cory Wells, Chuck Negron and Danny Hutton lead the way. Early to mid 70s. Good band. |

There must be a slight window of time where that's possible. I listen to am radio until I was a freshman in high school(mainly Casey's countdown). That's when I was introduced to KGON and all the evils that come with it 😄 I am familiar with Three Dog Night but not alot of their music. And Remember, Gilligan was in syndication for a very long time. |

Three Dog Night played at the Benton County Fair about 10 years ago (maybe longer). Only two of the original three lead singers were there, I think Corey Wells was missing, he may have died. Anyhow, they couldn't hit all the notes anymore but it was an excellent show.

Anyhow, they couldn't hit all the notes anymore but it was an excellent show. I believe that Three Dog Night played at the Benton County Fair in 2008. I believe that they were at the Linn County Fair in 2013. Chuck Negron has not toured with Three Dog Night since the 1980s, which might be who you are thinking. Cory Wells died in 2015 a couple of months after Jimmy Greenspoon. |

Three Dog Night, BOC, and Grand Funk Railroad were my go-to's in the late 60's, early 70's.
GFR's Mark Farner, drummer Don Brewer and bassist Mel Schacher, and keyboardist Craig Frost who joined up later had some very good stuff. Their "Paranoid" preceeded Sabbath's, and was truly a better song. Very much marginalized in current rock discussions. If I remember correctly they opened for a Zepplin tour and were soon booted for crowds liking them better. Basically up staging them.
Those three had music that would play to any "mood" or setting you might be in 😉

Wonder how long SMB continued to have them be an opener? |

Thankful for the board for I can type out my lamentations amongst those who might understand. That being said, another heartbreak for a program and another sooner get.  |
