Oklahoma Rock and Roll - Shy Guy

4/9/2012

 
Click here to listen to Shy Guy (from radio show #4): Mike Wallace made a brief appearance on our Oklahoma Rock and Roll radio show. It was Show #4 - the first of two shows we did on Oklahoma POP - pop music and pop culture with some sort of connection to Oklahoma. I thought I'd share this little segment that features just a tiny bit of the movie The Outsiders (filmed in Oklahoma and based on the book written by S.E. Hinton from Tulsa). That takes us in to a 'school film' about outsiders called The Shy Guy, featuring Dick York from Bewitched, and Mike Wallace as the narrator. The Shy Guy, with his "record transmitter and microphone" (and oscillator), sets the stage for the great Five Americans record, Western Union - complete with a bit of my buddy, disc jockey Ronnie Kaye from WKY (now KOMA) radio in Oklahoma City. Finishing up the segment is a commercial (Sherman Oaks and Mazeppa) for Jerry Ralph R. B. Bob Bevis Furniture Warehouse Revolution. Good times...

The first of two shows we did on Oklahoma Popular - popular music and mainstream society with an association with Oklahoma of some kind or another. I thought I'd share this little section that highlights simply a smidgen of the film The Pariahs, I truly appreciate your great post!

That sounds like a really cool and nostalgic radio segment! Mixing Oklahoma’s rock and pop history with classic media like The Outsiders and The Shy Guy makes for a unique listen. It’s also interesting how Mike Wallace, better known for his journalism, had a role in something like that.

Frequent cleaning prolongs the boiler's lifespan, increases heat transfer, lowers energy usage, and ultimately saves businesses money.

Oklahoma Rock and Roll with Shy Guy looks like an amazing radio show, and there are many people who love to listen to radio and such shows that are informative and entertaining. I love to see how it works and what other shows you did with pop music about pop culture and history.

Such a fun throwback! I love how you tied together Oklahoma pop culture with The Outsiders, The Shy Guy, and that classic Five Americans track. The mix of radio clips, film references, and even that vintage furniture commercial really captures the quirky, nostalgic vibe of the era. Feels like stepping right back into a slice of Oklahoma’s rock and roll history.

That’s such a cool glimpse into Oklahoma’s musical and pop-culture history! The way you connect The Outsiders, The Shy Guy, and the Five Americans’ Western Union really paints a vivid picture of how interconnected that creative scene was — from local film moments to radio waves carrying rock and roll across the state. It’s the kind of nostalgic storytelling that makes you want to dig back into those old broadcasts and rediscover what made that era so special.
