Members attending An Evening of Art, Barbecue and Music at the Annual Meeting on Thursday, April 29, will have a wonderful evening with entertainment provided by Jason Meadows and the Lindsey Family. 
 
The Lindsey Family will entertain the audience with the hammered dulcimer which, according to Rodger Harris, OHS Folklife Director, has always been a somewhat rare instrument in America.

 

A Lindsey Dulcimer

David Lindsey's interest and experimentation with dulcimers has helped him develop the ones he now builds at his one-man shop east of Bennington, Oklahoma. Lindsey received his education at Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant and his instruments are now widely regarded as among the best in America.  Although, Lindsey builds with function in mind, his instruments are also beautifully crafted from walnut, cherry, maple, cedar, mahogany, and other woods and sell from $600 to more than $2,000. Lindsey is also an excellent player, playing traditional American and Celtic fiddle tunes and is regarded as one of the most energized players anywhere. Information about David's Dulcimers can be found at http://www.davidsdulcimers.com/.
 
Jason Meadows was born in Calera Oklahoma.  According to his official biography, music and rodeo have been his two favorite passions since the age of six. Jason has been able to excel on stage and on horseback and that's just what sets him apart from his fellow singers. 
 
The impressive national debut of Jason's CD 100% COWBOY expresses his overwhelming pride of his deep country roots, and even impressed country
