LOVE NOTES

Four Tulsa couples together in life and in song on the best tunes for love (and for war)

(page 2 of 5)

Aaron & Roderick

Roderick Hudson and Aaron Hawkins sing their songs on Tulsa’s stages. In the car, Roderick Hudson turns it up, Aaron Hawkins turns it down. But when they sing together—usually it’s to Don Juan about how his money’s gone—there’s no in-between.

First album you bought as a kid.
Aaron: “Hangin’ Tough” by New Kids on the Block
Roderick: “The Muppet Christmas Carol”

Where did you fall in love?
We met each other while rehearsing for a SummerStage show. We started talking to each other and hanging out and love just happened. It wasn’t a specific place or time it was the little things that the other did for or with the other and one day we were just in love.

Song that reminds you of him.
Aaron: “Same Love” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Roderick: “The Seraph” from “35MM”

First concert together.
Tulsa Symphony Presents “The Wizard of Oz”

Ideal superpower?
Aaron: Telepathy
Roderick: Telekinesis

But you can both agree that…
Bernadette Peters and Audra McDonald can do no wrong.

Last fight you had about music.
The volume of the music in the car. Roderick likes to turn it up. Aaron likes to drive with it in the background.

Apologize or ask permission?
Aaron: Ask permission.
Roderick: Apologize.

Star Wars or Star Trek?
Aaron: Star Wars
Roderick: Star Trek
