Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys

Candidate group · high confidence

What the evidence supports

OHS documents Tulsa broadcasts from 1934 and the July 1942 transfer of Tulsa activities. The report understates later Oklahoma activity: OHS also describes a 1958 Tulsa-band takeover. Record separate periods, not a 1942 permanent Oklahoma endpoint.

Limits and open questions

Reconcile the 1958 organization and personnel with Johnnie Lee Wills; do not merge automatically.

Confidence detail: high. Evidence notes are not a count of distinct ensembles.
