A Texas Country artist named Stoney LaRue, a guy with Stillwater roots, is having success with a tune called "Oklahoma Breakdown," which I heard on the radio coming home from work late last week.

I thought, "What the hell? This is Mike Hosty?"

Nope, but his tune is getting covered, and I think that's awesome. Hosty is to Norman, Okla., what Robert Earl Keen was to College Station, kind of Woody Guthrie with a massive sense of humor and a deep understanding of what it is to be an Oklahoman. Plus, the music is generally brilliant.

Nevertheless, here's to hoping this portends big things for the bard of The Deli.

And, hell, Stoney's version is pretty good, too ... but, for those of you who haven't been introduced to the greatness of the Hosty Duo, check out the video:
