If you're a fan of classic rock and soul music you have a difficult decision to make today. That's because two beloved staples of '70s and '80s radio will be performing opposite each other tonight in Tulsa...so you'll have to make a choice. Will you go see Pat Benetar crank it up at Osage Million Dollar Elm Casino, 38th St. N. & Tisdale Parkway, at 8pm, or will you put your dancing shoes on and catch a show from R&B legends Earth, Wind & Fire at the Brady Theater, 105 W. Brady, 8pm? Hmmm. Decisions, decsions...

Sunday, April 1

In our opinion, nothing caps off an afternoon of fun-filled family activites on The Lord's Day quite like a leisurely trip down to the gun show. And here in Tulsa we have the rootin-tootinest gun show around! It's time for the annual Wanenmacher's Arms Show...an event so gigantic that if you put all the display tables end to end they'd stretch out for 5.6 miles. (That's a lot of firepower, by God!) As ever, the fun's all housed within the Expo Building, 21st St. between Harvard and Yale. Hours: 8am-4pm. Visit www.tulsaarmsshow.com for more info.

Monday, April 2

Gilcrease Museum is located at 1400 Gilcrease Museum Rd.

Wednesday, April 4

Christian rockers Relient K may share their name (sorta) with a clunky old Plymouth cruiser, but their music certainly isn't old...or clunky.

Doors open at 7pm.

Ever Heard of Patricia Mae Andrzejewski? Me neither, but surely you know the fireball known as Pat Benetar who made a splash in the world of heartbreaking and booty shaking love songs of the early '80s.

Anyhoo, she'll be playing the Osage Million Dollar Elm Casino, 38th St. N. & Tisdale Parkway on Fri., March 30. Joining her will be guitar great Neil Giraldo. For tickets, visit the Casino or call 699-7777.

That's the Way of the World. American genre-fusing band Earth, Wind & Fire have always told it like it is...well, sung it like it is.

The band will stop by for an evening of music at the Brady Theater, 105 W. Brady on Fri., March 30. Doors are at 7pm, and tickets range $49-69. Get yours at the Box Office, bradytheater.com or 58-BRADY. Oh, and love your brother.

These country music legends will play at the Brady Theater on Sat., March 31. Doors are at 7pm, and tickets are $40-50 and benefit the Thomas Gilcrease Museum Association.

Our Favorite Irreverent Reverend. The trio better known as Reverend Horton Heat just can't stay away from the Cain's Ballroom, and we're so glad, because we miss them when they aren't here, making us dance with their energetic rockabilly and humorous lyrics. In fact, if we didn't know any better, we'd think they were a local band! They'll be ready to rock on Fri., March 30, so you'd better be as well. The show's at the Cain's, 423 N. Main, and doors are at 7pm. Openers will be Murder by Death and The Tossers. One good thing: tickets are still affordable, only $17 in advance. Get yours at the Box Office, Starship Records, Reasor's Stores or gettix.net.

Give These Guys Some Water. The Kottonmouth Kings are here to show you weed doesn't necessarily make you lazy or unambitious. These independent rappers are no longer just part of the SoCal underground scene...they're here to stay. We do hope that these guys don't just party all the time, and their clothing line, SRH (Stoners Wreaking Havoc OR Supporting Radical Habits), suggests that they've got many entrepreneurial tricks up their sleeves. Come check 'em out, along with Dog Boy, Sen Dog & Kingspade, at The Cain's Ballroom on Sat., March 31. Doors are at 7pm, and advance tickets are $26. Yo.

They May Not Know How to Spell... But Relient K know they were named after a Plymouth cruiser, the Reliant K. Some categorize them in the Christian rock genre, but it seems these dudes from Ohio are just super faithful and wanna sing about it. They may still be young, but their lyrics and music make you feel like they might be headed to much bigger stardom. Come see their version of God Rock at the Cain's Ballroom on Wed., April 4. Joining them will be Mae & Sherwood. Doors are at 7pm, and tickets in advance are $21.25.

From All Corners of the World. Musician David Lindley performs music that redefines the word "eclectic." Lindley, well known for his many years as Jackson Browne's accompanist, naturally combines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Celtic, and other musical sources. He incorporates a vast array of stringed instruments in his live performances, and the always eye-poppingly clad Mr. Dave consistently provides one of the most unique concert experiences available to adventurous listeners. He'll play the All Souls Acoustic Coffeehouse, 2952 S. Peoria, on Fri., March 30, along with blues-folkster, Pieta Brown.

The 2nd piece, "Troy Game," features the men of the company, and takes a tongue-in-cheek look at male hyper-masculinity in times of conflict. The finale will be "Por Vos Muero (For Thee I Die)," a portrayal of love and courtly manners set to 16th-century Spanish music and based on a poem of the same name. The show will run at 8pm, March 30-31, and 3pm on April 1 at the Tulsa PAC. Tickets range $20-55.

This historic group of Oklahoma's pre-statehood buildings included forts, old Indian capitols, agencies, schools, churches, homes, and industrial structures. Each painting was to be a faithful reproduction of the original structure. The project took Lackey four years to complete.

He traveled to the sites and made sketches of the terrain, took copious notes, and tracked down any available information that might be useful to the project.
