Never really finished, thanks to the Internet, “The People’s List” of Oklahoma music is comprised of musicians, musical groups, music professionals, and musical educators suggested by many sources, sometimes verbal or written in e-mails, from which the author selects entries for the primary biographical entries in the print edition of the Oklahoma Music Guide.  Not all final decisions on entries have been made for the 2nd print edition. Corrections, additions, or suggestions for the list are encouraged and welcomed. Format for People’s List Entries: Individual or Group/Oklahoma Connection/Musical Notability Bold type indicates an individual entry on that person, group or subject to be included in the 2nd print edition of the Oklahoma Music Guide. While not all musical entities in bold have deep connections to the state, they are mentioned so many times as being "Oklahomans" that the print edition of the Oklahoma Music Guide will now indicate why that particular person or group is associated with the state. Note on American Indian tribal music entries: In order to provide as much accurate and respectful information as possible on historic and current tribal music traditions in Oklahoma, not all of the 38 federally recognized bands, nations, tribes, and tribal towns have complete entries regarding their particular musical traditions in the guide. The Oklahoma Music Guide makes every effort to have well-researched and thorough entries on American Indian music, but full entries will not be included in print editions of the guide if not enough is known about a particular tribal tradition, or a tribe has made it known they wish to keep their ceremonial music traditions private. In such case, verifiable public domain information will be used to summarize what is known about a given tribe's musical history. Note on inclusion: While historic names from the 19th and 20th century are usually included without question on this database, new entries must demonstrate some type of commercial release or active performance schedule to be placed on the "People's List".
