From The Journal Record:

Jim Cowan, executive director of the Bricktown Association, thinks the founding fathers of Bricktown would have approved of the entertainment district’s push to become a musical hub. The founding fathers of Bricktown, the late Neal Horton and the late Jim Brewer, might not have envisioned the University of Central Oklahoma’s Academy of Contemporary Music or the American Banjo Museum, but Cowan said he thinks both men would be proud of the two establishments bringing music to Bricktown.

“Both of them would have been just as excited as they could be,” Cowan said. “Jim and his family started the blues and barbecue and the reggae festival.”

Cowan said the district has potential as a future national hot spot for a diverse array of music.
