[Rarebooks] FS: Otto Gray & Oklahoma Cowboys Band Advertising Card

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, Ephemera & Photographs]

1920s Otto Gray & Oklahoma Cowboys Band Advertising Card.

“Otto Gray and his Oklahoma Cowboys were the first nationally famous 
cowboy western music band in the United States, and the first cowboy 
band to appear on the cover of The Billboard (June 6, 1931). The band 
members were authentic cowboys from ranches in and around Ripley but 
with the extensive traveling generated from their popularity, the 
original band members dropped out to stay with their jobs and families. 
Gray filled their places with professional musicians willing to spend 
most of their time on the road. Playing on the vaudeville circuits in 
the Midwest and Northeast, and nationwide over some 130 radio stations, 
they played the first cowboy music most Americans outside of the West 
had ever heard. The band lasted until the early 1930s when economic 
situations led them to disband” [Wikipedia].
