I’ve loved these guys childhood. Foma was one of the first CDs I ever bought. I still keep up with them, Zac is an awesome songwriter.

Lead guitarist Jerry Cantrell of Alice and Chains spent some time in Oklahoma. His dad lives in Atoka, and was the subject of the song, "The Rooster." His dad appeared in the music video, with some scenes filmed in Atoka. After high school, Jerry moved to Dallas for a while and got a job at Arnold and Morgan Music in nearby Garland, Texas.
I used to go to that store all the time as a teenager and I'm a few years younger than Jerry. I wouldn't doubt I met him and never knew who he was, which was a "nobody" at the time.
I went to that music store about 6 months ago and it was but a fraction of what it used to be in the early 80's. It was tiny, but still open, and I walked in and met 2 guys that worked there. They both knew Jerry. One of the guys went to my high school. He could play the F out of a bass, which he was playing the whole time we hung out. Even started thumping like Waymon Tisdale.
Speaking of Waymon Tisdale (RIP), he was an Okie and played basketball at Oklahoma. I saw him playing for OU one night in Norman when we were both students.

I had a cousin in Broken Bow who was in a band with Jeff Keith about 10-15 years before Tesla. So I guess Jeff Keith was from there. Doubt anyone knows who he is anymore tho
I think Jeff Keith was from Idabel (without looking it up)
