US Country
fiddler born Merle Lindsay Salathiel in December 12, 1915. He began his
music career in 1936 playing fiddle in his father (C.E. Salathiel)'s ballroom,
Salathiel's Barn. In 1937 he formed his first band, the Barnyard Boys. In 1947,
he created a larger band and added a female singer, calling the group Merl
Lindsay and His Oklahoma Night Riders. During the 1940s, he owned a ballroom in
Compton, California, and broadcast over a four-station radio hookup in Hollywood
and Long Beach. He also performed with
Jimmy Wakely in Western B-movies.
In 1957, Lindsay joined ABC-TV's Ozark Jubilee, taking over the ten-piece Ozark
Jubilee Band. His group adopted the name when the TV program's title was changed
to Country Music Jubilee the next year. During later years he toured the US and
performed at his ballroom, Lindsayland, in Oklahoma City.
Many famous Western swing musicians performed with Lindsay's bands over the
years. Two of his female singers were Wanda
Jackson and Norma Jean. His
brother, Doyle Salathiel (1920–1976), played with Lindsay's bands as well as
others, and was a composer who wrote the words for the band's signature song,
"Water Baby Blues". Lindsay's nephew, Max Salathiel (1935–2006), an accomplished
Oklahoma City guitar player, also worked with his band in the 1950s.
Other band members included Robert "Buddy" Ray, Rudy Martin, Frederick "Freddie"
Loveland, Louvenie Loveland, Ted Haff, Mike Hugo, Clarence Bailey, Homer Bean,
Gerald "Buster" Magness, Gene Jones (steel guitar) and Sonny Rogers. Merl Lindsay died
October 12, 1965.
