Was reading a distant cousin's World War II draft card on Fold3.com/ and about fell off my chair:
Apparently my paternal second cousin--twice removed once worked with Bob Wills & his Texas Playboys. At Tulsa's famous Cains Ballroom, no less.
Be still my Western Swing music-loving heart!
Thinking young Bob was but a "gopher" attendant who kept the musicians supplied with cigarettes and beverages while they played in downtown Tulsa, I quickly sought Google's advice. One hit found Bob Lee had sung two songs at a 1984 Tribute to Bob Wills - 50th Anniversary Texas Playboy Reunion.
Another click, and his obituary appeared: "Robert E. ""Bob'' former featured vocalist for Bob Wills & his Texas Playboys, died Aug 9, 1986 in OKC after a prolonged illness." Sadly, he was but the tender age of 64 when he passed.
I'll update this post if and when I find a Youtube of Mr. Lee singing with this swing band. Please share if you find a video link.
Until then, go ahead. Google "Cains Ballroom" and see the many legends who have played at this club.
Kudos to my husband who immediately recognized the "Employer address" listed on this draft card. He frequently walks our dog in the Brady District. What? Doesn't everybody take their dog to work?
