I do hope that your histories note that one of the movers and shakers behind Oklahoma statehood is a distant relative of former Vice President Al Gore, and the grandfather of novelist and publicist Gore Vidal, who remembers sitting on his grandfather's lap and reading to him when the old man was old and blind and the young boy was a precocious youngster.
Yep, at least this old man knows who Senator Thomas Pryor Gore was.

As to the pronunciation, please remember that Hugh Jackman, who plays Curly in this clip, is Australian.
And, Rogers and Hammerstein, were writing in a New York apartment, and knew as much about Oklahoma as I do living here in northern Illinois, which is nothing.
Long live all the Ado Annie's of the world - "I'm just a girl who can't say no" - and those who sail in them.
