I met Shelley about that same time when I was in radio. She was prettier than all get out, and I still love listening to You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma and Texas State of Mind.
Mmmmm. I get all dreamy when I hear Texas State of Mind. "California's too damn far ... from you and that ole Lone Star ..."
I've told my "You're the Reason" story on FR before, but just briefly, a recap. Was on a charter bus in L.A. once full of OU Sooners going to an OU-USC football game, about that year or later. The bus driver was kind of pointing out landmarks, then said "now we're merging onto the Santa Monica Freeway ..."
An entire busload of very proper adults burst into spontaneous song: " ... sometimes makes a country girl blu-u-u-u ..." And on into the rest of "You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma." It was pretty funny at the time. Bus driver was puzzled.
