We were thrilled to host Derrick Doty, Independent Researcher and Music Historian, at our Annual Meeting on Saturday, May 2nd. Not only was his storytelling of musicians from Kansas through the ages quite enjoyable, but we were also treated to a demonstration of various instruments and music from early 19th and 20th century Kansas.
Thank you, Humanities Kansas, for making this delightful experience possible!
