  • Gentrification in Oklahoma City: Examining Urban
    GENTRIFICATION IN OKLAHOMA CITY: EXAMINING URBAN REVITALIZATION IN MIDDLE AMERICA Clint C. Petty, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2011 APPROVED: Sean Tierney, Major Professor Murray Rice, Committee Member Donald Lyons, Committee Member Paul Hudak, Chair of the Department of Geography James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Petty, Clint C. Gentrification in Oklahoma City: Examining Urban Revitalization in Middle America. Master of Science (Applied Geography), August 2011, 63 pp., 7 tables, 20 illustrations, 58 titles. Gentrification applies not only to the largest and oldest cities; it is a multi-scalar phenomenon playing out in smaller and less prominent settings as well. This study examines temporal changes in property values, demographic characteristics, and types of businesses in the central Oklahoma City area. A major urban revitalization project which began in 1993 created strong gentrification characteristics near the renewal's epicenter, the Bricktown entertainment district. Data suggest that several specific neighborhoods in the surrounding area exhibited rising property values, improving educational attainment rates, decreasing household sizes, and a shift toward cosmopolitan retail activity. While it is evident that Bricktown has been transformed, the socio-economic traits of surrounding neighborhoods have been altered by the ripple effects of urban renewal. Copyright 2011 By Clint C. Petty ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was greatly improved by contributions from multiple people. I would like to thank Dr. Sean Tierney (University of North Texas Geography) for his conceptual support and for helping me focus a broad idea into a coherent research plan. I would also like to thank Dr.

  • Vince Gill Biography
    VINCE GILL BIOGRAPHY “Vince Gill is quite simply a living prism refracting all that is good in country music. He uses the crystal planes of his songwriting, his playing, and his singing to give us a musical rainbow that embraces all men and spans all seasons.” - Kyle Young/Country Music Foundation on Vince’s induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame Vincent Grant Gill was born April 12, 1957 in Norman, Okla. His father encouraged him to learn to play guitar and banjo, which he did along with bass, mandolin, dobro and fiddle. While in high school, he performed in the bluegrass band Mountain Smoke, which built a strong local following and opened a concert for Pure Prairie League. After graduating high school in 1975, Gill moved to Louisville, Ky. to be part of the band Bluegrass Alliance. After a brief time in Ricky Skaggs’s Boone Creek band, Gill moved to Los Angeles and joined Sundance, a bluegrass group fronted by fiddler Byron Berline. In 1979, he joined Pure Prairie League as lead singer and recorded three albums with the band, the first of which yielded the Top Ten pop hit “Let Me Love You Tonight” in 1980. Departing the group in 1981, Gill joined Rodney Crowell’s backing band the Cherry Bombs, where he met and worked with Tony Brown and Emory Gordy Jr., both of whom would later produce many of his future solo albums. In 1983, Gill signed with RCA Records and moved with his wife Janis and daughter Jenny to Nashville to pursue his dream of being a Country Music artist.

  • Geographic Implications of the Fiddling Tradition in Oklahoma
    GEOGRAPHIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE FIDDLING TRADITION IN OKLAHOMA By JAMES HUBERT RENNER 1/ Bachelor of Science University of Oregon Eugene, Oregon 1974 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE May, 1979 ~ /979 7( '-/14q QQp. 2_ c ~W51vfA~ fo+~-- ~)', 0 UNIVERSITY (' LIBRARY GEOGRAPHIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE FIDDLING TRADITION IN OKLAHOMA Thesis Approved: 1,029474- ii PREFACE This thesis is a combination of two longstanding in­ terests--geography and fiddling. The background and origin of this unique study was fostered by Dr. Everett Smith, my undergraduate advisor at the University of Oregon, who first encouraged me to pursue a course of study which would com­ bine the two. Following my graduation of Oregon, I journeyed to Penn State University to attend the first meeting of the emergent Society for a North American Cultural Survey (SNAGS) and to meet Dr. George Carney, who had pioneered geographic re­ search in traditional American music. I later joined the graduate program at Oklahoma State University to work under Carney. While conducting my graduate studies, I received a Youthgrant from the National Endowment for_ the Humanities to establish an Archive of Oklahoma Fiddlers. This project was begun in the summer of 1976 and completed in the fall of 1977. During this same period of time, I was chosen to serve as "Resident Folk Artist" for the Oklahoma Arts and Humanities Council. Both of these experiences provided in­ valuable experience and information concerning music and culture in Oklahoma which became the foundation of this re­ search.
