This is a narrow band-leader or band-wording capture, not a full biography or identity resolution. Vocal-only or role-only evidence is retained as supporting rather than promoted as instrument-playing evidence. Exact Oklahoma origin, duplicate relationships, and republication rights require separate review. Per-page local hashes are recorded in the Markdown record.
