Win Rockefeller and Pam Setser playing spoons at a Committee of One Hundred fundraiser.
This Ozark Folk Center 50th Anniversary Legacy Photo is in honor of Charlotte Nabholz who, with Win Rockefeller, shares a passion for the music of the Ozarks.
With appreciation, Barbara Satterfield and Patty Montgomery.
Win Rockefeller was a long-time supporter of the Ozark Folk Center. He loved Mountain View, and sometimes joined in on local pickins’. He came every year to enjoy a gathering of friends
at an annual campout on Sylamore creek in Stone County. He learned to play the spoons with help from Pam Setser and enjoyed playing them at Committee of One Hundred events such as the one pictured here. Many of the Committee of One Hundred fund raising events were held on Petit Jean with the Rockefeller family providing the meal.
The Rockefellers hosted an annual event at Winrock on Petit Jean where the Simmons family and the Grandpa Jones family entertained. The Simmons Family was often invited to entertain at Winrock for visiting dignitaries. Pam Setser remembered once entertaining for the King of Sweden. In 1981, Win (as he was known to his mountain View friends ) took a busload of friends to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Pam has fond memories of being included in that group and playing music in the lobby of the Royal Orleans Hotel in New Orleans, with Win joining in on the spoons. On that trip, Win bought a pair of spoons from Antoine’s Restaurant where the group enjoyed a meal.
In 2006, the Committee of One Hundred sponsored interactive Music Display as a fitting tribute to Rockefeller. In 2008, the family donated his “spoons” to the project. The display is a series of panels depicting the music heritage of the Ozarks in the White Oak Theatre at the Ozark Folk Center.
