What the evidence supports

Jim Downing's October 8, 2018 Tulsa Today account says Markham had formed the band by 1958 and describes changing personnel.

By 1958 is not an exact founding date; relationships to Starlighters and later Scamps need verification.

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